Ghost Kitchens? WTF!

According to AFP, “It’s September 4, 2022, and around 10,000 people are shouting ‘Beast, Beast, Beast’ in a shopping mall in New Jersey: YouTuber MrBeast is on his way to launch his first burger restaurant, and the crowd is hysterical. MrBeast, real name Jimmy Donaldson, was building out his global MrBeast Burger business from its origins as a product made in ‘ghost kitchens’ available only on delivery apps. But he has since had a dramatic change of heart. Donaldson, 25, recently crowned the world’s most popular YouTuber with more than 170 million subscribers, launched a legal case in late July against the suppliers of the burgers to end the deal. The court filings include choice quotes from customers: ‘One New York reviewer, echoing the sentiments of thousands, stated that MrBeast Burger was “the absolute worst burger I’ve ever eaten in my entire life! It was like eating spoonfuls of garlic powder.”’”

A ghost kitchen? A burger business via an app only? What could possibly go wrong? Everything, I guess. Who could have predicted this coming? Everyone, I assume, except Mr. Beast. This whole fast food delivery scheme is for f***ing G.D. idiots. Look, f***tards. I don’t know what part of the oxymoronic term “fast food delivery” people don’t understand, but I can assure you that fast food not immediately consumed at the restaurant or in your car as you pull away from a brick-and-mortar drive-thru is garbage, especially burgers and fries. I promise, no one likes cold fries, yet that’s what happens mere minutes after they’re placed in the bag for delivery, not to mention that said fries were getting cold waiting to be served in the first place. The same holds true for burgers. There is no way I would ever order McDonald’s or whatever other boutique burger joint for delivery. Moreover, I have no f***ing clue what establishment would risk their reputation for quality product on delivery knowing that with each passing minute of delivery time, the food goes to sh*t. Then you throw in “ghost kitchens,” which basically says to the consumer: “You have no idea what you’re about to get.” Seriously? Sorry, but if there’s no physical location where I can go and see what’s happening with my food for myself, then I ain’t ordering from them. Who risks this kind of business strategy with a ghost kitchen? I guess Mr. Beast, who is learning the hard way. Look, morons. If you crave burgers and fries, then just go to the f***ing restaurant and get it. Otherwise, you only have your lazy self to blame for the sh*t that shows up at your door, which you paid extra for if you tip plus the delivery charge. Welcome to stupid America!

F*** Garland!

ARE! YOU! F***ING! KIDDING! ME! WITH! SH*T! Garland will go down in history as the guy who single-handedly returned traitor trump to the White House, ushering in the demise of America’s democracy. According to The Hill, “Attorney General Merrick Garland on Friday appointed David Weiss, the Delaware federal prosecutor who has led the investigation into Hunter Biden, as a special counsel overseeing the investigation. The move comes as a pending plea deal involving Biden appears to be unwinding. Garland said he made the decision in the politically explosive case after Weiss asked for the appointment.”

Garland just handed RepubliKKKlans talking points right up to the next presidential election. There is no other way to spin this special counsel appointment other than an escalation of the investigation into Hunter Biden. You don’t deem that a case needs special counsel status for an inquiry that is wrapping up, not to mention the so-called sweetheart deal is now dead. This investigation has been going on for five f***ing years, which started under traitor trump’s presidency and is being overseen by a prosecutor appointed by the orange man. Garland should have demanded that Weiss needs to either sh*t or get off the pot at this point. He should have killed this investigation years ago. But no! What does he do instead? Elevate the case’s perceived severity before the American public. I promise you that Americans are thinking to themselves that this Hunter Biden situation is only getting worse, so there must be something to all the allegations, that RepubliKKKlans must be right, and by extension, they must be right about Joe Biden. I’m telling you, f***tards, that this is how the “moveable” middle swing voters are thinking. This is a massive gift for RepubliKKKlans. Mark my words!

I hated Garland from the start because he’s a weak, timid person who is so committed to preserving the “appearance” of the rule of law that he’s willing to damage Biden and usher in the downfall of America by giving traitor trump a leg up in the next election. And don’t get me started with Garland waiting nearly three years to pursue traitor trump’s other — publicly televised — criminal acts. Talk about a day late and a dollar short. Of course, I blame Biden as well. He should have never nominated Garland in the first place, and, failing that, he should have fired Garland the minute he refused to prosecute traitor trump for the numerous crimes outlined in the Mueller report. I hope Garland, Biden, and other dumbass Democrats can sleep easy at night while America’s democracy crumbles around them, resting assured, no doubt, that at least when they were in power, they upheld the “rule of law” only to have them pave the way for American fascism. Whatever! I give up! Welcome to stupid America! All dumb all the time!

F***ing Biden!

I am officially f***ing sick of Biden’s bipartisanship and “can’t we all just get along” mentality. F**ing sick of it! They are quaint notions, and he constantly misreads the room. This America is not the likes of his stint in the Senate. This is not the 1980s and 1990s or even the 2000s. The RepubliKKKlan Party and the MAGA moron movement have just literally demonstrated that they want to kill Biden, and all Biden can do is gush over a “moderate” RepubliKKKlan, which he has yet to figure out no longer exists. According to CNN, “When President Joe Biden came to this must-win US House district in New York just a few months ago, he did something that privately enraged members of his own party. He praised one of the most vulnerable Republicans in the country. ‘Mike is the kind of guy that when I was in the Congress, the kind of Republican I used to deal with,’ Biden said of freshman Rep. Mike Lawler, speaking in Valhalla, New York. ‘But he’s not one of these MAGA Republicans.’ Democrats were aghast. … Biden’s comments – and the reaction from Democrats here – underscore the significance of the New York suburbs in the furious battle for control of the US House of Representatives. Six freshman Republicans – who are among the 18 GOP lawmakers in districts that Biden carried in 2020 – pulled off victories last cycle, handing Kevin McCarthy the speaker’s gavel and cementing Republican control of the chamber by the slimmest of margins.” What the actual f***?!?! Biden is not the fighter Democrats need. We need Dark Brandon all the time or someone like Gavin Newsom, but not the “oh, grandpa” Biden. That version of Biden is wearing really f***ing thin with me. Welcome to stupid America!

Judge C*nt Cannon

She’s just a f***ing incompetent moron. I expected nothing less! According to The Daily Beast, “U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, whose pro-Trump bias and head-turning errors have raised questions about whether she should be overseeing former President Donald Trump’s criminal trial in Florida, made what appears to be another surprising mistake last year. Now, a defense lawyer is seizing on her misstep to try freeing his client from prison—even though he was caught on tape violently throwing a courtroom chair at a prosecutor and threatening to kill him. The blunder was simple and entirely avoidable. The federal judge told jurors they could find the man, Christopher Wilkins, ‘guilty or not guilty.’ But then she handed jurors a verdict form that didn’t even have those options. … In that sense, Cannon’s error may seem trivial. But her refusal to use the proper legal terminology has introduced an avenue for appeal—while once again demonstrating that Cannon is comfortable playing fast and loose with hundreds of years of legal traditions [emphasis added].”

I strongly urge you to read the entire article to understand the nuances of her actions, but the italic portion of the quote is the essence of her missteps, which may come back to bite her in the ass. All this begs the question: If she can’t get the basics right, then how the hell can we expect that she’ll get more technical and complicated legal questions correct? Short answer: She can’t. She clearly judges and acts with her thumb on the scale. This is precisely the type of idiot, unqualified judge traitor trump wants on the courts, for when he returns to the White House, the first (and final) course of action he will take to end our democracy starts with destroying the independence of the judiciary. RepubliKKKlans have already captured the crown jewel — SCOTUS. Next are the lower courts. Welcome to stupid America!

Evangelical Christians: The Sect of Hate

From Newsweek, “An evangelical leader is warning that conservative Christians are now rejecting the teachings of Jesus as ‘liberal talking points.’ Russell Moore, former top official for the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) who is now the editor-in-chief of Christianity Today, said during an interview aired on NPR’s All Things Considered this week that Christianity is in a ‘crisis’ due to the current state of right-wing politics. … In his NPR interview, Moore suggested that Trump had transformed the political landscape in the U.S. to the point where some Christian conservatives are openly denouncing a central doctrine of their religion as being too ‘weak’ and ‘liberal’ for their liking. … ‘Multiple pastors tell me, essentially, the same story about quoting the Sermon on the Mount, parenthetically, in their preaching—“turn the other cheek”—[and] to have someone come up after to say, “Where did you get those liberal talking points?”’ Moore said. ‘When the pastor would say, “I’m literally quoting Jesus Christ”… The response would be, “Yes, but that doesn’t work anymore. That’s weak,”’ he added. ‘When we get to the point where the teachings of Jesus himself are seen as subversive to us, then we’re in a crisis.’”

Everything you need to know about evil evangelicals (and America) is in the above quote. That anecdote stands alone and says it all. Dare I say that Christianity at large is a religion of hate — not as hateful as Islam — despite Jesus’ teachings. Just look at the history of humanity since the birth of Christianity. It is littered with war and annihilation, all done in the name of Jesus Christ. Today’s American Christians are absolutely no different. And make no mistake: These Christians are the majority, not the minority.

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

Matthew 7:15-20 (KJV)

So, according to RepubliKKKlans, MAGA morons, evil evangelicals, and QAnon kooks, Jesus is too woke. Indeed, these people believe peace, forgiveness, and acceptance are now evil fruits and thorns brought by Jesus — now a false prophet — while traitor trump — the first coming of America’s Savior — brings the fruits of hatred, revenge, and death. I expected nothing less from a group of delusional morons who think a 2000-year-old version of the Telephone Game (i.e., the Bible) is the word of God. To be clear: Christian believers already have a propensity to believe in fantastical stories, so naturally, they have a propensity to believe in conspiracy theories, namely that traitor trump was sent by God to save America from everyone else, who is inherently evil. [Palm to forehead.] This is what a dying country looks like, f***tards! The end is here, and no one cares! Welcome to stupid America!

Not Killing Enough MAGA Morons!

From NBC News, “The FBI on Wednesday shot and killed a Utah man who allegedly made online threats to kill President Joe Biden and New York prosecutor Alvin Bragg while serving a warrant at his Provo home, officials said. The suspect was identified in charging documents obtained by NBC News as Craig Deleeuw Robertson. Robertson allegedly made a threat Monday that referenced the president’s trip to Utah this week, saying he needed to prepare his camouflage and sniper rifle.” I say, good! The man deserved it. In fact, I will contend that we are not killing enough MAGA morons. These people are the enemies of the state, and good Americans really should start targeting and executing MAGA morons where ever they are. Those MAGA red hats should serve as targets. RepubliKKKlans, MAGA morons, evile evangleicals, and QAnon kooks need to die to save America!

Of Course, He’s Russian

From RawStory, “A 17-year-old accused of stabbing to death O’Shae Sibley as he danced outside a Brooklyn gas station was described by his lawyer as a ‘good Christian boy,” PIX 11 reported. Dmitry Popov is being tried as an adult on multiple charges, including murder and a hate crime. He’s accused of stabbing Sibley, who is gay, after seeing him vogueing in the parking lot of the gas station on July 29. Speaking to PIX 11 after a court hearing Monday, Popov’s attorney said his client is a ‘good Christian boy,’ not Muslim as a witness claimed. Attorney Mark Pollard said Popov’s parents are from Russia, he works two jobs and has never been in trouble before.”

Of course, this family is from Russia. Of course, they are! For those crossing the southern border illegally to seek out a better life in America, I’ve always said congratulations if you make it over. But people coming from Russia? No f***ing way! Get the f*** out! You are hated here! Go back from where you came because we don’t want your vermin kind infecting America with your conservative disease. We’ve got enough problems with our own homegrown RepubliKKKlans, MAGA morons, evil evangelicals, and QAnon kooks. We don’t Russians living here and exacerbating America’s hate issues.

I guess I used to be rather indifferent about Russian citizens, believing they were stuck in a no-win situation by their misfortune of being born in Putin’s Russia. But with the invasion of Ukraine, all my sympathy has gone right out the window. These people get the government they deserve and desire, and apparently, they love their dictatorship and they love an oppressive government that criminalizes and dehumanizes the LGBTQ community. But they can’t bring that sh*t to America! If these immigrants can’t adapt to America’s culture, then they can get the f*** out! Take your f***ing hatred back to Mother Russia and die there! This Popov kid should be murdered for his hate crime; he shouldn’t make it to trial. I’m all for vigilante street justice in this case. Kill him in the jail or on the streets. I don’t care.

And a final point, if I may. These Russian folks are infecting every part of the planet. They come to our country with their outdated conservative values routed in the Orthodox Church and longing for the days of Tzarist Russia or Stalin’s U.S.S.R. where — you know — all minorities are repressed. They’re doing it in America, and they’re doing it in Israel. Do you know why Israel is making a hard right turn in their politics? Because there has been a large influx of ultra-orthodox Jewish immigrants from — wait for it — Russia! So, they are diluting the power of liberals and moderates in what used to be a relatively tolerant Israeli state. Not anymore. Russians — no matter where they live on the planet — are a sickness, and we need to begin considering how to eliminate them from the planet before they invade another nation. Kill Russians however and where ever you can!

Well, Looky Thar!

Ohioans saved their democracy. I’m a bit surprised, but I’m certainly not sanguine. It seems the abortion issue has staying power at the ballot box, but I’m sticking to my guns — abortion rights are always someone else’s problem. It would appear, though, that ~57 percent of the population has a right to choose abortion problem. Voters saw through RepubliKKKlans’ shenanigans in Ohio, but that always begs the more fundamental question: Why do these voters keep electing and re-electing RepubliKKKlans to office? On the one hand, only RepubliKKKlans are trying to roll back people’s rights single-handedly, yet voters seem more than content to keep these same people in office to try and try again. It makes no f***ing sense. Do idiot voters really think that RepubliKKKlans will give up? At some point, RepubliKKKlans are going to win if they are allowed to keep trying. Look what happened with SCOTUS. It took them 40 years to get the Court they wanted to overturn Roe, but eventually, RepubliKKKlan persistence paid off, which is how we got into this mess in the first place. Trust me when I say that RepubliKKKlans have far more staying power than the average idiot voter! And I’ll tell you what will happen in November when voters elect to make abortion access a constitutionally protected right. Nothing! Do voters think that by passing such a referendum — as is likely in November — it gets directly (and magically) inserted into the state constitution? No! RepubliKKKlans still dominate the state. Do you trust them to abide by voters’ wishes? Watch RepubliKKKlans suddenly claim after the election, What referendum? They’ll find technical excuses. (They’re too busy to make changes to the constitution.) I’m not sure why voters think they can have it both ways. Idiots must vote for Democrats to protect their rights, not just on ballot initiatives. Whatever!

Fani Willis — Spare Me

Sorry, but she lost me a while ago. At this point, I really don’t care what happens in Georgia. She’s been stringing us along for seven months now. I have no confidence in a person who has no f***ing clue what the definition of “imminent” is. Back in January, she claimed in open court that indictments were imminent. No dictionary in the world would define soon as being seven-plus months in the future. I would expect a prosecutor to use precise language; she does not. Moreover, she claimed that her office was “ready to go.” But now she’s calling more people into the grand jury to testify, presumably to clinch a true bill. Again, I’m sorry, but her language is sloppy at best and stringing us along at worst. I would think for anybody, “ready to go” means that the indictment has already happened, and now it’s just a matter of conveying it to the judge and making the arrest. But she still hasn’t nailed a verdict. She’s been crying wolf for months, and I’m over it.

And this move to re-enforce the security around the court building is more over-the-top showmanship. We’ve been through three other indictments of traitor trump with barely a ripple of protests. So, I have no idea why she thinks there will be an uprising by Georgians on this matter. Sorry, but Willis has been more ringmaster at the circus than anything else. What will happen will happen, but I’ve lost interest, for in the end, the state charges — contrary to what others are predicting — are the least consequential, even though no president can pardon traitor trump’s state crimes. He’s never going to jail. And if, by some miracle of God, he gets convicted, it’s already been made pretty evident that voters have no issue with a criminal president running the county (into the ground). And if the Fulton County case is still pending while he’s president, then I have absolutely no doubt that SCOTUS will pause the prosecution because, make no mistake, too many on the High Court believe traitor trump is above the law. State sovereignty be d*mned. They will claim the president cannot be expected to do his job of running the country and be under prosecution at the same time. They will further argue that his election win is vindication by the voters as to his innocence or, at the very least, the will of the people to delay prosecution until after his term. And you know what? It’s difficult not to see how that argument holds water. Indeed, the idiots of America would have spoken — they want the criminal in charge. Oh, well. Mark my words, f***tards. Welcome to stupid America!

Fitch Downgrade

According to CNN, “Fitch Ratings downgraded its U.S. debt rating on Tuesday from the highest AAA rating to AA+, citing ’a steady deterioration in standards of governance.’ Explaining its rationale for the downgrade, Fitch pointed to ‘the expected fiscal deterioration over the next three years, a high and growing general government debt burden, and the erosion of governance relative to “A.A.” and “AAA” rated peers over the last two decades that has manifested in repeated debt limit standoffs and last-minute resolutions.’ Fitch said the decision wasn’t just prompted by the latest debt ceiling standoff but rather ‘a steady deterioration in standards of governance over the last 20 years’ regarding ‘fiscal and debt matters.’”

I am a little late commenting on this news, but I wanted to ensure I did. While Fitch is the least of the big three credit rating agencies (Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s being the other two), they seem to have the most reasonable and clear-eyed understanding of America. I find it laughable that titans of the economy — Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers economy and JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, for example, both of whom have been very critical of Biden’s economy — are lambasting Fitch’s move. These two, in particular, have done nothing but b*tch that Biden’s administration has been behind the eight ball regarding inflation, and the Biden administration is spending too much money while focusing on the wrong segments of the economy (i.e., helping the middle class instead of giving tax cuts to the rich) — go figure! Despite all their complaining about Bidenomics, they’re shocked Fitch downgraded the nation’s credit rating. Moreover, Summers and Dimon criticize Fitch’s move by making the exact same arguments — the economy is strong and growing while inflation is coming to heel — they fault Biden for, namely, his policies are failing to achieve results. They, naturally, want it both ways — Biden’s policies suck for the economy, but the economy is raging hot. Unbelievable! But this is actually not the point of my post.

I am making the point that Fitch was right to downgrade the U.S. credit rating for all the correct reasons beyond the fiscal issues, for the debt and spending are not the only reasons. It is the deterioration of America to govern itself, which the likes of Summers and Dimon roundly dismiss as inconsequential. Not sure how these “geniuses” of finance can so easily ignore the elephant in the room. Who would want to invest in America’s economy if the government and our democracy are perpetually on the verge of imploding? (Do these morons really think capitalism works better under an authoritarian government? Just ask Russia. China may have a strong economy without democratic rule, but do capitalists Summers and Dimon realize that under China’s mode of communism, the government really owns everything, including profits, if they so desire.) So, you’re G.D. right America’s constant flirting with default, dysfunction, and dictatorship should factor into the nation’s creditworthiness. Only an idiot would ignore these added layers of risk. Yet, the people like Summers and Dimon are confused and perplexed by the Fitch downgrade. I think Fitch is more prescient than the rest of them. But what the f*** do I know? I’m just living in this hell like everyone else, but my eyes are actually wide open. Call me a realist. Oh, well. Welcome to stupid America!
