I Told You So! (x3)

According to NBC News, “Former President Donald Trump has expanded his lead over Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and the rest of the Republican presidential field since Trump’s latest indictment on federal criminal charges, according to a new national NBC News poll. … ‘For the first time in history, a former president has been indicted, and we can’t find a marker in this survey that it’s had an impact with his standing,’ said Republican pollster Bill McInturff of Public Opinion Strategies, who conducted this survey with Democratic pollster Jeff Horwitt of Hart Research Associates. ‘Not only are they sticking with Trump post-federal indictment,” Horwitt said of Republican voters, “there are several signs that his support is growing or others are losing ground, particularly Ron DeSantis.’” I told you so! What did I say? What! Did! I! Say!

Allow myself to quote myself from an earlier post, “I can’t wait for traitor trump’s approval numbers to skyrocket and for him to haul in tens of millions of dollars in donations because that’s what this country of idiots has become.” Is a five bps bump in a poll skyrocketing? Compared to DeSantis’ loss in the same survey, yes! In those terms, it is a 14 bps movement. As I predicted, another indictment only strengthens traitor trump because this is what a dying country looks like, and no one cares.

In this same poll, Biden does best (maybe) traitor trump in a head-to-head matchup: “Biden gets support from 49% of registered voters, while Trump gets 45%. Biden’s 4-point lead is within the poll’s margin of error.” I say maybe because the results are with the margin of error, which means the two are tied statistically! Un-f***ing-believeable! Once again, after everything we know about traitor trump and after everything this country has been through with traitor trump and his supporters, Americans’ attitude toward picking the future direction of America is equivalent to flipping a f***ing coin. I expected nothing less. If Americans, at this point, cannot discern between a disastrous president who wants to destroy this country and a president they may not be thrilled with but at least will not end our democracy, then I can’t know what else to say. But I do know one thing: Americans are just too f***ing G.D. stupid to care. It’s all apathy, all the time. The end is coming, f***tards, for Biden is merely the intermission before America’s grand finale! Mark my words! Welcome to stupid America!

Did I Miss Something in Russia?

So! I’m pissed at myself because I failed to memorialize my prediction of this alleged Russin coup attempt in enough time to say I told you so. My gut feeling about the Yevgeny Prigozhin “uprising” on Friday night was this: Much ado about nothing. I hesitated to comment. So, shame on me. It should have been pretty clear from the start that Prigozhin has always been a whiney baby attention whore who invariably seems to be the most disgruntled lieutenant within the Putin oligarchical cliche. He’s the Fredo of The Godfather, constantly seeking approval from the boss and others while throwing tantrums on social media that amount to “I’m smart.” How many times did the former hot dog stand entrepreneur complain about being mistreated, ignored, or disrespected? How many times did he threaten to take his marbles (the Wagner mercenaries) and go home? That he was done with the war and the Russian generals’ mismanagement (but never Putin himself) of it. That he wasn’t getting enough support or ammunition. Yet, for all his empty threats and b*tching, he stayed and continued fighting: All talk and no action. But there was some action on Russia’s behalf. As Politico reported, “Fighters of the Wagner paramilitary group will not sign contracts with the Russian Defense Ministry, Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin said, countering an effort by the ministry in Moscow to integrate the mercenaries in the ordinary army. Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu on Saturday ordered all ‘volunteer detachments’ at the front in the Ukraine war to sign contracts with the Defense Ministry by July 1, in order to increase the effectiveness of the army.” There has been a longstanding rift between Prigozhin and Shoigu, and now Shoigu has effectively subsumed the Wagner Group under Russia’s military — and Putin seems to be copacetic with it, leaving Prigozhin hanging in the wind. And that is what set Prigozhin off, not some alleged attack on his soldiers that killed “thousands,” whereby he was going to seek revenge for their deaths. This was more exaggeration from the baby-b*tch, who clearly does not care who lives or dies.

Thus, he claimed he was moving on Moscow with his forces in “protest.” Riiiight! This was just another temper tantrum but with a bit more gusto and accompanied by a meth-fueled notion of grandeur. Prigozhin has had enough, and now he will stomp his way to Daddy Putin to prove it! Did the minor league warlord really think he was going to be successful? I have no doubt he felt that he may have had some support within Putin’s inner circle at some point or, more broadly, in the country, but as with all bombastic, arrogant f***tards, he misread the room, thinking himself to be more popular and influential than he actually was. He realized relatively quickly in his “protest march” to Moscow — about have way there, to be precise — that his anticipated support was not materializing. It is one thing for citizens to join the parade with you, and it is quite another for the people to merely move aside as you march through the country. He probably fashioned himself as Napoleon, who escaped Elba and gathered support from the countryside as he marched to Paris to oust Louis XVIII. Napoleon’s return to power lasted all of a hundred days, leading to his final defeat at Waterloo. I guess Prigozhin forget to read the whole story, and he is no Napoleon. But as a man who thought himself a great military general from the humble beginnings of a hot dog salesman and restauranteur, I suppose the sky is the limit for Prigozhin. To be sure, he is a dead man walking. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. He knows it, and so does everyone else. Whatever this deal with Lukashenko, it will not protect him from Putin’s comeuppance. I can only say that Prigozhin should avoid tall buildings with windows and hire a food taster.

I may have missed the opportunity to predict the failed coup outcome earlier, but I am in time to make one prediction that cuts against the general consensus of pundits about the impact on Putin. Quite simply, it is this: Nothing! Not one G.D. thing! If I have to hear one more overly optimistic political pundit or “expert” on this matter claim that this Prigozhin gambit somehow weakens Putin, then I am going to lose my f***ing G.D. mind. This “coup” attempt was so ephemeral and feckless that it will be a footnote in the history books so inconsequential as not to be worthy of its own paragraph. It is exceedingly ridiculous to paint Putin as having been weakened when the “thing” that everyone claimed to be never actually materialized. To be clear, I am in no way supporting Putin, but it really stirs my ire when people entirely misinterpret the situation and its consequences in the hopes of willing some not-going-to-happen outcome. This is how people underestimate threats. If anything, this is a prime opportunity for Putin to purge people he dislikes or distrusts and further consolidate power. Putin is the type never to waste a disaster becoming a good opportunity. If one needs a recent example, then think of the failed coup attempt in Turkey against Erdoğan. How did that turn out? He further cracked down on dissenters and just got re-elected. Why? Because people love their distractors. How many f***ing times must I say it, f***tards? Putin is no exception. Russians love him, even if they don’t; they love him enough to be cowed by him and his regime into complacency. So nothing is going to come of this Prigozhin fiasco. And for the love of f***ing God, this will not impact the illegal war on Ukraine. Stop thinking it will. There will be no impact on Russians’ morale or perception of the war. It will be business as usual, which is generally the Russians not winning. And as for the Wagner Group, it is effectively defunct; the Duma is already working on legislation. Does anyone really think Prigozhin is going to remotely lead his army from exile (for however long that last)? Either those fighters will be absorbed into Russia’s military, or they’ll be on their way to other adventures if Putin doesn’t eliminate them first. Wagner is no more in any case. This was Prigozhin’s final hurrah. The meth high wore off, and he lost his nerve — and his army and soon to be his life. Oh, well! Could not have happened to a nicer guy!

Implosion!

I nailed it! And I nailed it days before the MSM could even conceive the notion of an implosion. According to The Hill, “The U.S. Coast Guard said in a Twitter post earlier on Thursday that a remotely operated vehicle discovered a debris field within the search area for the Titan submersible. At a press conference later in the afternoon, the Coast Guard confirmed that the debris was ‘consistent with catastrophic loss of the pressure chamber.’” Nooo sh*t?!?! Really? Who could have possibly foreseen this ending? Everyone! Expect morons, which is apparently the whole of the MSM.

I reached my boiling point this afternoon when a newscaster on CNN News Central asked the guest maritime expert — at the time of the breaking news that the debris discovered was, indeed, part of the Titan — what are the chances of survival given this new information? As if the question was not moronic enough, the “expert” estimated the chance of survival at 1-2 percent. Oh-my-f***ing-God! Are you f***ing kidding me with this sh*t?!?! Are people that f***ing G.D. stupid?!?! Seriously?!?! What level of Dante’s hell am I living in to be tortured by people who ask such stupid questions that elicit equally and sincerely stupid answers? Let me just clarify something for the f***tards out there: The chances of someone surviving at the bottom of the f***ing sea inside (or out) of a damaged vessel is zero! Absolutely zero! Always zero. Never not zero. Zero! Zero! Zero! F***ing zero!

SCOTUS’ Corruption — Again

So, ProPublica has more reporting on the corruption of the conservative wing of SCOTUS. This time it is Alito instead of Thomas. Funny how all the influence peddling and hiding of gifts only pertains to the most conservative justices. The article starts, “In early July 2008, Samuel Alito stood on a riverbank in a remote corner of Alaska. The Supreme Court justice was on vacation at a luxury fishing lodge that charged more than $1,000 a day, and after catching a king salmon nearly the size of his leg, Alito posed for a picture. To his left, a man stood beaming: Paul Singer, a hedge fund billionaire who has repeatedly asked the Supreme Court to rule in his favor in high-stakes business disputes. Singer was more than a fellow angler. He flew Alito to Alaska on a private jet. If the justice chartered the plane himself, the cost could have exceeded $100,000 one way. … Alito did not report the 2008 fishing trip on his annual financial disclosures. By failing to disclose the private jet flight Singer provided, Alito appears to have violated a federal law that requires justices to disclose most gifts, according to ethics law experts.”

I can hear the pushback already. This was 14 years ago, and it was only the one time. Yeah, that we know of with this guy. Lord knows what justice is next. Clearly, the corrupt wing of SCOTUS lies and hides its misbehavior. Given that Roberts has no interest in imposing ethics rules on the justices, I’m sure he, too, has sh*t that he’s been hiding. Why else would he resist reform? Do you know what kind of people resist reform? Corrupt people! You can investigate the three liberal justices, but you will never find anything nefarious. I promise!

Am I suggesting that Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States of America become social hermits once they take the bench to avoid all possible perceptions of corrupt influence and impropriety? Am I suggesting that these justices should live a life of near social celibacy to avoid being put in positions where their votes can be bought and traded, especially when the makeup of this Court is more inclined to roll back our individual rights? Am I suggesting that these justices should really stick to a boring life of strict academic legal thought and introspection about the consequences of their rulings on the greater society instead of hob-nobbing with a bunch of wealthy cis white straight Christian benefactors? You’re f***ing G.D. right that that’s exactly what I’m saying! Welcome to stupid America!

Can We Please Stop?

Can we please stop pretending all human beings are worthy of life? I know. It’s very unprogressive of me to say, but let’s face it. If there is one horrific flaw in liberal and progressive ideology, they think everyone has value. Not true! Some people are just worthless. According to Law & Crime, “It appears that the animal abuse allegations against a man were so ghastly that multiple defense lawyers passed on representing the defendant, Justin Reilly Belton, 44. ohn Donnelly, public affairs officer for the Harris County District Attorney’s Office in Texas, told Law&Crime that according to a prosecutor, two private attorneys on the on-call list declined to take the case on Tuesday due to the nature of the charges. The court had to reschedule the arraignment for Wednesday. Court documents said that Belton brought six puppies to an animal hospital, and the vet found that four of the young canines were missing limbs and tails.”

This Justin a**hole should not be given a court date. He should simply be disappeared. I have no idea why society wastes its time with these types. Skip the courts and the trial and the sentencing. Just go right to the punishment phase. No one will miss this guy, and torturing animals is almost always a precursor to harming people. And then there is that one Texas guy who drove to the police station drunk to turn himself in for stabbing his dog to death. Yeah, that guy should be disappeared, too. Ugh! I hate people!

Pathetic CNN

Oh, my f***ing God! What the f*** did these feral goats do? I wonder! I am so f***ing curious that I can’t wait another second to click on this story. What could have possibly happened? Is this the definition of clickbait? What a f***ing G.D. embarrassment for journalism. This is why America is filled with a bunch of morons because this story was prominently placed on the front page at the top, above all the other stories. Do they really think people are that stupid to click on the video? I guess so, lest it not be placed where it is on the webpage. And what’s disturbing is that people actually click on these types of breaking “news” stories, for this is the usual clickbait nonsense that shows up on CNN’s front page. This is why Americans are just f***ing G.D. morons of the highest f***ing order. And, no, I did not click on the story because I don’t f***ing care what roaming goats do. No one should. Welcome to stupid America! Goats! For f*** sake!

‘Sounds’ From the Deep

CNN proclaims, “Search and rescue teams looking for a missing submersible with five people aboard were given new hope Tuesday when banging sounds were picked up from the Atlantic Ocean, according to a US government memo obtained by CNN.” There are sounds! Banging, which happens at 30-minute intervals — so it seems. It’s a breakthrough. They are saved! Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! I can never get enough of how MSM covers cliffhanger disasters. I mean, this makes for excellent ratings as morons hang on every word. For me, this submersible story is just getting in the way of my regular news monitoring.

But let me tell you why this “remarkable” banging sound is far less remarkable than the MSM describes. So, it is literally all hands on deck for nearby maritime and air force assets from at least three different countries (American, Canadian, and French), and, consequently, it is also all ears to the water, so to speak. What happens when more people listen to the vast expanses of the ocean? You’re going to hear a lot of sh*t, which may seem to be non-random. The passengers of the Titan may, indeed, be taking turns banging on the hull in 30-minute increments, but many things in the sea make sounds, including other — not so close — watercraft. Although the media has not said one way or the other about the specifics of the noise, I would only take stock of the banging if the pattern was . . . – – – . . . and nothing else. I assume these billionaire passengers — if still alive — would be smart enough to communicate in Morse code to distinguish themselves from other random, non-intentional ocean sounds. And I would assume they are not taking 30-minute breaks if they can, given the time pressure. (Pun not intended.) I would think, but that’s just me. As a final thought, the Titanic should not be a f***ing tourist destination. And now it would appear the Titan and the Titanic share another fate beyond their names. (Talk about the submersible’s name being ill-conceived.) Billionaires’ toys! Money has to get spent somewhere.

Hunter Biden

The Hill reports, “Republican lawmakers are venting their frustration over what they say is an overly lenient plea agreement between Hunter Biden and federal prosecutors, further escalating G.O.P. tensions with the Justice Department.” When the f*** do dumbass Democrats start pushing back? When? I mean, what the f***ing hell? I am so f***ing sick of these soft, pathetic, spineless, weak, and polite Democrats constantly getting pushed around by RepubliKKKlans. Of course, RepubliKKKlans are raging against the Hunter Biden plea deal; it was always going to be that way. Even if Biden were convicted and sentenced to death, RepibliKKKlans would b*tch about how long the appeals process would take before he was electrocuted. You can never win with RepubliKKKlans, yet dumbass Democrats keep letting them get away with controlling the narrative. Does anyone really think it’s a coincidence that a 5-year investigation finally ended about the same time that traitor trump’s most serious indictment was finally handed down? Does anyone really believe this? I don’t. It’s as if the traitor trump-appointed U.S. Attorney, David Weiss, investigating Hunter Biden was keeping the final decision on this case in his back pocket for just the right time. Biden’s attorney proposed this plea deal well over a year ago, and only now Weiss decides to agree to it. What splendid timing, undoubtedly!

Putting aside the details of the plea deal, this is just one more opportunity for RepubliKKKlans to switch the conversation from traitor trump’s ongoing legal problems to Hunter Biden. Indeed, the substance of the deal is far from the point. The point is to rage against the Biden family, stir up more whataboutism, and muddy the political waters for his re-election. Does this sound familiar to dumbass Democrats? Anyone? Does anyone at all have some vague recollection of this RepubliKKKlan tactic being used to great effect in the recent past? Come on, morons! Think hard — but not too hard. Does Benghazi ring a bell? How about “but her emails?” We’ve been here before, yet Democrats are caught completely flat-footed because they refuse to counterpunch. They just take it, thinking the average American is smart enough to discern real legal issues like those of traitor trump from bogus political posturing like complaining about Hunter Biden’s deal while promising a forthcoming House investigation into what, apparently, the D.O.J. missed during their thorough investigation, which was started under traitor trump’s administration and continued to the end under a U.S. Attorney appointed by traitor trump. Let me just say that Americans are not smart enough to distinguish such finer points. In the minds of this stupid country, it is the following reasoning: Traitor trump’s legal problems — bad. Hunter Biden’s legal problems — equally as bad. Un-f***ing-believable! RepubliKKKlans understand this all too well. They understand stupid America better than any other political party.

Speaking of the other political party, my ire was particularly stirred when I heard some Democratic House member — whose name I gladly forgot because of his moronic comments — asserted that RepubliKKKlans attack political family members, but for Democrats, family members are off limits. Really? Un-f***ing-belieable! What a f***ing mistake to say and believe. But I expected nothing less from weak, stupid Democrats. You better f***ing believe family members are not off limits. Once again, dumbass Democrats show up to a gunfight with a knife! I can’t anymore with these f***tards. I just f***ing can’t! Where is the Senate investigation into Ivanka and Jarred? Where are they? These guys spend four years in the White House grifting the American people and enriching themselves at taxpayers’ expense. I really want to know why Saudi Arabia gave $2 billion to Jared’s “investment fund” when Jared has no experience in finance. Yet, dumbass Democrats are completely M.I.A. on this matter. RepubliKKKlans are destroying America while Democrats stand by watching. How many times must I keep saying it? How many f***ing times? I’m over it! Welcome to stupid America. This is what a dying country looks like.

This Vessel

I love how the MSM keeps harping on the number of hours of oxygen the passengers have left on the submersible. Trust me when I say the last thing the people in the sub have to worry about is breathing; they’re already dead, morons! But I suppose it’s human nature to deny obvious reality until the very last moment. Though they do not say so outright, the only people who are guarded against such optimism are the experts on deep-sea matters. The minute the sub lost contact with the support ship was the minute the passengers were doomed. I can already tell you what happened: A rapid, catastrophic implosion for whatever reason. According to the timeline, the sub was already at the bottom of the sea (2.5 miles deep or 12,500 feet), where the water exerts 5858 pounds of psi. (Consider that the Virginia class submarine can only dive to a depth of 1,600 feet.) That is roughly the weight of two cars pressing against one square inch (see the green box below) of the submersible’s hull. The failure probably happened at the viewport. One crack in that thing, and it’s over, people.

Kill All Neo-Nazis!

From Raw Story, “A video posted by drag queen Juicy Garland shows a neo-Nazi group interrupting a drag queen story hour in Concord, New Hampshire on Sunday morning. Garland posted the video to her Twitter, showing members of the group sieg heiling three times, before pounding on the window of the Teatotaller café. The video was captioned ‘We’ve got some verified Nazis today! Golly, I didn’t order those.’”

I have no f***ing clue why these neo-Nazi terrorists are allowed to keep getting away with this sh*t. I mean, I do have a sense as to why. Americans either love or have an ambivalence toward domestic terrorist groups. I mean, everything is excused as some First Amendment right. The right to hate speech. The right to form a terrorist group. The right to terrorize. The right to intimidate. These neo-Nazis are above reproach to Americans because they are protected under the First Amendment when exercising their “God-given” right to hate and threaten the general public. Americans simply let these people continue, and the government does nothing except tacitly condone neo-Nazi’s version of “free speech” by also doing nothing; Americans and the government alike are complicit in neo-Nazis’ behavior. At the very least, those neo-Nazis would all be beaten to within an inch of their life by the public. And in the best-case scenario, they would each get a bullet in their head. But, no! Americans love their terrorists, and this is a consequence-free society. Domestic terrorists keep on terrorizing. A former president keeps on criming — and getting away with it. The RepubliKKKlan party keeps dragging the country further towards fascism. It’s all connected, f***tards! Americans love it because they allow it or, worse still, ignore it, hoping it magically goes away.

And then there is this nugget from The Marshall Project, “The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (ODRC) has a host of policies controlling which books people can have in prisons, how they can get them, and what they can do with them. Incarcerated people in Ohio have been denied access to books like a U.S. Army survival manual, ‘The Witches’ Bible,’ several computer programming guides, prison abolition literature, and a book about imprisoned drug lord El Chapo. Among the books ultimately allowed through in recent years are ‘The Art of Seduction,’ a compilation of letters to ‘Penthouse,’ ‘Mein Kampf,’ a coloring book featuring designs with profane language, and a different book about El Chapo.” Mein Kampf! I expected nothing less! This is what a dying country looks like. Welcome to stupid America. Dumb and Nazified!
