I don’t recall any headlines about Democrats “pouncing” on Brett Kavanaugh, or Democrats “pouncing” on PDJT’s supposed Ukraine telephone call, or any of the other innumerable times the MSM-Democrats jumped to make an issue of something that hurt our side.
Rest assured if Trump was running 20% inflation the Dems would’ve had the good manners not to say a word about it.
I think the Dems use of “pounce” was first restricted to the particular situation where the Dems have taken a course of action that the Pubs warn will end in a bad result, but the Dems dismiss the warning, then when the inevitable bad result happens, just as predicted, and the Pubs say “I told you so”, the Dems try to excuse their incompetence by claiming the Pubs are “pouncing’.
