Pockets of Promise and Progress

According to the AP, “Lightfoot on Tuesday became the city’s first black woman and openly gay person elected to lead the nation’s third-largest city, an overwhelming victory over political veteran and Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle.” Preckwinkle never had a chance because of her disastrous sugar tax, which was in effect for a few months before it was repealed because of public outcry. Ostensibly the tax was intended as means to curb unhealthy dietary habits; however, knowing that the demand for sugary drinks is notoriously inelastic to price (for most), like cigarettes, the tax was meant to fill Cook County’s budgetary gap under the guise of wanting to improve the health of the public.

Allow me to explain. The tax was an additional $0.01 on each ounce of targeted drink (soda in a bottle or at the fountain–including diet, sports drinks, some juice drinks, energy drinks, flavored water, coffee if it’s sweetened, etc.). At first, this may not seem like much but consider this typical scenario. I don’t drink soda but I do like Gatorade and load up when it’s on sale, which it usually is somewhere for a fairly routine 10 for $10 of 32 oz bottles. It doesn’t take a Leibniz to figure out that buying Gatorade on sale results in a 30% tax on a sports drink–not really the same thing as trying to deter someone from consuming a daily Big Gulp of extra-corn-syrup-added Coke. Um, no thank you! I simply shifted getting my Gatorade from Amazon in powder form for a fraction of the price compared to bottled. While I ultimately benefited by changing my market for goods, the tax was in general profoundly unfair and really targeted the poor. Needless to say, almost everyone in the county thought the same. Preckwinkle got destroyed on this single issue. She never had a chance! Chicago got smart!

More Morons

WTF! From Politico, “A 59 percent majority of voters say they don’t have much trust or any trust at all in Trump on health care.” Oh, so now people don’t trust traitor trump’s lies after they elected him. Every day this country proves that 44% stupid (MAGA morons and RepubliKKKlans) is still f***ing stupid. Welcome to stupid America!

Health Care for Idiots

From Politico: “President Donald Trump signaled Monday that congressional Republicans would wait until after the 2020 elections to vote on a GOP replacement for Obamacare–putting off a presumably savage legislative battle on a hot-button campaign issue until after his re-election bid.”

More B.S. from the chief idiot to the 44% of f***ing G.D. MAGA morons of America! I don’t even know where to begin! First, traitor trump punts on a solution to a problem until after the next election, while he still backs the legal case to wipe out the ACA completely. F***ing morons! What the f*** do these MAGA moron and RepubliKKKlan idiots expect will happen if SCOTUS strikes down the ACA? It’s not like they delay implementation of their decision; they are literally the final word on the matter. Once it’s made, it is made, which means people could legally lose their health care the same day if they declare the ACA null and void. Second, the “party of health care” has been unable to put together a health care plan to replace the ACA for 10 f***ing years! RepubliKKKlans keep telling us how much Democrats f****d up our health care system and want to get rid of the ACA, but they have never once put forward a replacement plan — just repeal without replace! Why the f*** do people believe they’ll be able to put something together now? Oh, that’s right they still aren’t. They’re kicking the can down the road for another couple of years. At least Democrats tried and did! RepubliKKKlans just talk and don’t. Un-f***ing-believable! F***ing morons! Third, what happened to traitor trump promising how easy it was going to be to fix health care? Just like everything else that falls out of traitor trump’s pie hole, it’s all lies and 44% of the f***ing morons in the country believe whatever he says. Last, this country is just f***ing stupid. Full stop! Nothing more to say! The end! Welcome to stupid America! Stupid people everywhere. Everywhere stupid people.

But Her Emails!

Hypocrisy from RepubliKKKlans as usual: “A White House staff member has told House investigators that senior officials have overruled concerns raised about 25 individuals whose security clearances were initially denied over a range of disqualifying issues–such as fears about foreign influence and potential conflicts-of-interests–warning of the grave implications to national security, according to a senior Democratic lawmaker.” Welcome to stupid f***ing America!

Buttigieg Is the Gay Traitor [T]rump

CNN reports, “Buttigieg told The Washington Post magazine in an interview that published in January, ‘Donald Trump got elected because, in his twisted way, he pointed out the huge troubles in our economy and our democracy.’ He added, ‘At least he didn’t go around saying that America was already great, like Hillary did.’” Buttigieg is the gay version of Traitor [T]rump, less the bigotry and stupidity, and maybe that’s exactly what the Democratic Party needs. That is to say, I have this sense that people will see him as the populist alternative to traitor trump, especially since he is willing to bash Hillary. Let’s face it. There is still a (too) large chunk of dumbass Democrats that hate Hillary for no explainable reason other than they just do. This is the swing group of people he is targeting.

36.4% Job Approval

According to FiveThirtyEight this is traitor trump’s lowest job approval rating, which coincides with the last attempt by a completely controlled RepubliKKKlan Congress to repeal the ACA. In other words, people like traitor trump the least when he tried to repeal their health care, and here we are with him once again shouting for the complete repeal of the ACA. Welcome to stupid f***ing America where too many people (MAGA morons) here are just–well–stupid!

Endless Stupidity

The level of stupidity in this country is endless: “Broadcaster and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones said it was a ‘form of psychosis’ that caused him to believe certain events — like the Sandy Hook massacre — were staged.” Welcome to stupid America where denying that the Sandy Hook massacre was a staged event and that Hillary Clinton ran a child porn ring out of a pizza shop basement must mean conspiracy. I like this quote (because it’s true): “Alex Jones, purveyor of stupid conspiracies and making money off even stupider people.” Can this country be any more f***ing retarded? Check back tomorrow for the answer; it is probably going to be yes.

Rhodes Scholar vs Idiot Boy Traitor [T]rump

Buttigieg’s resume in part reads: “a veteran who completed a seven-month deployment in Afghanistan; a Rhodes Scholar [meaning he studied at the University of Oxford in England after he graduated–this is not a simple study abroad program!]; a concert pianist; and a polyglot who speaks a half-dozen languages.” Before him, President Obama received his J.D. (Doctor of Jurisprudence) from Harvard, taught Constitutional law at the University of Chicago, and won the Noble Peace prize to name a few life accomplishments. In addition, President Clinton is also a Rhodes Scholar and graduated from Yale Law School with his J.D. Then we have traitor trump who transferred to and then graduated from Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania with his Bachelor’s in Economics, although probably with the same C-average–at best–that President W. Bush boasts of earning in college, which only goes to prove that RepubliKKKlans just love to settle for average leaders, whereas Democrats really do have exceptionally smart leaders. This is consistent, I suppose, with the RepubliKKKlan notion that “liberals” look down on their intellect despite the fact that conservatives routinely put forward less intelligent people as paragons of their party. And they win! Un-f***ing-believable. Stupid people just love the idea of having the leader of the free world be someone that they can “have a beer with” (folksy W. Bush) or someone who “talks” like them (racist traitor trump). MAGA morons look to traitor trump (and Sarah Palin for that matter) identifying with the word salad of incoherence that comes out of his mouth. While Buttigieg speaks multiple languages, traitor trump and MAGA morons can barely speak one–English! It is so incomprehensible that I can’t anymore. I just can’t. If anyone wants to understand the collective stupidity of America, then one need only listen to traitor trump speak–or W. Bush, for example, “Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning?” Welcome to stupid America, where being of average intelligence is good enough to be president! F*** me!
