According to CBS News, “An unusually high turnout of voters spelled the end of the French far right’s dream of taking power in the legislature. A coalition on the left that came together unexpectedly ahead of France’s snap election won the most parliamentary seats in the vote, according to early projections. The surprising result put President Emmanuel Macron’s centrist alliance in second and the far right dropped to third place.”

No doubt about it, Macron is the man of the moment. Just when political pundits thought he was crazy for calling a snap election and just when those same morons thought he had dug his own political grave after the far-right’s better-than-expected showing in the first round of voting, he perhaps pulled off a not-so-surprising victory in the second round of voting. I say not-so-surprising victory — although for many, it was a surprise that the center and left held — because I sensed that when Macron called for a snap election, daring the nation to put Le Pen’s far-right party in charge, he’d come out on top. And, as it turns out, he called it correctly! French citizens would not tolerate such a notion of a return to neo-Nazis controlling the country, and, indeed, with the largest turnout since 1980, they came out to vote, rejecting the far-right party. Now, I am surprised only in so far as it would seem there is a limit to the far-right’s power and popularity in Europe despite an anti-incumbency movement on the continent.

What might this portend for America’s elections in November? Sadly, nothing. I have no doubt that this sh*t-for-brains nation will elect its first American dictator because citizens simply are not smart enough to avoid traitor trump again. I’ll say it one more time: Biden is merely the intermission to the end of America’s democracy! Mark my words! I’ve been saying it for four years. Welcome to stupid America!

I think Politico had a really good article explaining the implication of SCOTUS overruling the Chevron deference. (You can tell this ruling was expected by the swiftness with which Politico was available to publish its story within a mere hour or so of the SCOTUS decision.) I quote from it extensively below.

The Supreme Court on Friday killed off a judicial doctrine that has protected many federal regulations from legal challenges for decades — delivering a major victory for conservatives and business groups seeking to curb the power of the executive branch.

The 6-3 decision divided the court along ideological lines. Its fallout will make it harder for President Joe Biden or any future president to act on a vast array of policy areas, from wiping out student debt and expanding protections for pregnant workers to curbing climate pollution and regulating artificial intelligence.

Known as Chevron deference, the Reagan-era doctrine required judges to defer to agencies’ “reasonable” interpretations of “ambiguous” federal laws. Now, judges will be freer to impose their own readings of the law — giving them broad leeway to upend regulations on health care, the environment, financial regulations, technology and more.

The high court’s about-face comes after more than a decade of campaigning from conservatives — including some of the Republican-appointed justices themselves — looking to rein in the so-called administrative state. And it lands just two years after the justices used a ruling on a climate case to limit regulations that pose “major” implications for politics or the economy.

Chief Justice John Roberts was crystal clear in the majority opinion: “Chevron is overruled.”

“Courts must exercise their independent judgment in deciding whether an agency has acted within its statutory authority, as the [Administrative Procedure Act] requires,” Roberts continued. “Careful attention to the judgment of the Executive Branch may help inform that inquiry. And when a particular statute delegates authority to an agency consistent with constitutional limits, courts must respect the delegation, while ensuring that the agency acts within it. But courts need not and under the APA may not defer to an agency interpretation of the law simply because a statute is ambiguous.”

Chevron deference has become an “impediment” to judges deciding the law, Roberts added.

“Chevron was a judicial invention that required judges to disregard their statutory duties,” he wrote. “And the only way to ‘ensure that the law will not merely change erratically, but will develop in a principled and intelligible fashion’ is for us to leave Chevron behind.”

But the court’s liberal wing warned that the majority’s latest decision will allow unelected judges to strike down rules based on their own policy preferences. Until now, a court had to let the agencies’ interpretations stand as long as they fell within the realm of reasonability, even if the judge didn’t think it was the best reading.

“A rule of judicial humility gives way to a rule of judicial hubris,” Justice Elena Kagan wrote for the dissenting liberal wing.

Look, f***tards, I can’t even be upset anymore. I was upset four years ago when RBG died, and I predicted back then that this sh*t-for-brains country had no idea what they were in for when they elected traitor trump. At the same time, dumbass Democrats capitulated on making SCOTUS a top priority. Democrats assumed the electorate would be smart enough, engaged enough, and enlightened enough to surely never elect traitor trump. How wrong Democrats have been at every turn, especially now that Biden seems determined to help traitor trump return to the White House with last night’s debate debacle. At this point, whatever. No one cares. Business as usual for his nation of morons. This is what a dying country looks like. How many f***ing times must I repeat myself before you guys believe me? How many f***ing times? Welcome to stupid America. The end is here. You’re probably just too m*****f***ing stupid to realize it. Welcome to stupid America. The end is here. You’re probably just too m*****f***ing stupid to realize it. Welcome to stupid America. The end is here. You’re probably just too m*****f***ing stupid to realize it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I am losing my f***ing sh*t! I can’t f***ing take it anymore. I just f***ing can’t. If I have to hear one more f***ing G.D. moronic dumbass Democratic politician, pundit, commentator, journalist, or reformed conservative political operative express disbelief in the polls and opine about what people are missing in their calculations to cause them to support traitor trump over Biden, then I’m going to lose my f***ing G.D. mind! More specifically, Nicole Wallace on Deadline: White House made a rhetorical comment about traitor trump leading in a recent poll whereby she asked, “What are people missing [to yield the survey’s outcome]?” Invariably, these liberal, progressive, or other types keep convincing themselves that people are misinformed, that there is some still-to-be-discovered piece of information that will open their eyes, that people are forgetting the traitor trump years of his presidency, that people aren’t paying attention to the presidential race yet. All of these excuses are, of course, just that: F***ing B.S. excuses. They’re reasons to willfully ignore the unfavorable data before them. This is not to say that I think the electorate has become enlightened; they are benighted as ever, which is why it’s even more alarming that voters, indeed, possess all the information — to the extent that they can apprehend information — required to make an “informed” decision and answer polls in the manner that they do. People can possess information yet be incapable of understanding it. This is precisely what is happening with traitor trump and how most of the country perceives him. Americans are simply too stupid to apprehend reality. Why am I so certain that people are informed but remain so stupid? I turn to EMH as a guide.

The Efficient-Market Hypothesis: In short, everything that can be known is known that factors into a stock price or, in its adaptation to politics, factors into a decision, i.e., how people vote and answer survey questions. I guess it is my background in finance and economics that leads me to this theory. I’m sure there is some corollary theory in political science of which I am unaware. Everything is known about traitor trump. His mendacity. His corruption. His criminality. His disdain for democracy and longing for a dictatorship. You name it. Everything is known, yet most Americans want him back in office to finish the job of transforming American democracy into an American dictatorship. And no one cares. Oh, well. Welcome to stupid America! The end is already here; you f***tards just haven’t realized it yet.

OMG! Yes! That’s it. That’s the thing; that’s the quality I could not quite put my finger on, but it is completely accurate. What am I talking about? A characterization of Biden that a CNN regular made of the president. Look! It is no secret that I have been exceedingly critical of Biden and dumbass Democrats for being the f***ing weak party, yet I will vote blue no matter who. But I have to say that how this CNN contributor described Biden’s resting face hit the bull’s eye, and it essentially says everything about how people feel about the president. I’m sorry, but when Biden has that old man resting face — whereby his mouth is slightly turned down and ever so slightly agape at times while his furrowed brows suggest he’s trying to think but failing — he looks confused and out of it. And if not that, then perpetually angry — old man resting angry face. There is just no way to deny it, and dumbass Democrats who try to excuse it, ignore it, or brush it off are engaging in that wish-casting, hope-y B.S. that usually leads them right into defeat because they’re f***tards who refuse to face reality.

To be sure, this old man resting face is purely an optics issue and belies Biden’s actual acumen (I dare say). But dumbass Democrats, once again, misunderstand a fundamental lesson of life and politics: Perception is reality! And if morons of America — rightly or wrongly — perceive Biden to be a confused dotard simply by how his face looks when he has no expression, then that is a f***ing problem. I don’t know what the solution is or if one even exists, but pretending that Biden’s befuddled look is not a huge issue is why dumbass Democrats are losing the question of competence given Biden’s and traitor trump’s similar ages. Biden can’t merely talk his way out of this. Would you rather have an old man who appears confused or an old man who wants to end America’s democracy? Incredibly, the average American idiot is confused about how to answer this question. The problem is not a confused-looking president; the problem is an actually confused electorate. Whatever! Nothing matters. (And don’t get me started on Biden’s stiff gait. That’s another hard-to-look-at problem, though explained by Biden’s arthritis. But, again, people don’t apprehend; they just perceive.) Welcome to stupid America! We’re f***ed!

According to CNN, “Louisiana public schools are now required to display the Ten Commandments in all classrooms, after Republican Gov. Jeff Landry signed the requirement into law Wednesday. House Bill 71, approved by state lawmakers last month, mandates that a poster-size display of the Ten Commandments with ‘large, easily readable font’ be in every classroom at schools that receive state funding, from kindergarten through the university level.” Praise Jesus!

Theocracy comes to Louisiana, and no one f***ing cares. Let’s cut right to the chase, shall we, because all this speculating about lawsuits in the meantime is nothing more than B.S. and distraction. The only thing that matters is, of course, the question: WWSD? Indeed, what would SCOTUS do? We already know the answer; in fact, I will opine that laws like this are intentionally designed and passed to ensure they make their way before the High Court, knowing what the ultimate disposition of the case will be ahead of time. The supreme goal, naturally, is to enshrine Judeo-Christian values in our government, starting with indoctrinating children and young adults in schools and universities, thereby establishing a quasi-state religion in furtherance of an eventual theocracy across America. And no cares, nor are Americans smart enough to apprehend these insidious moves — no matter how blatant the actual efforts — to replace our pluralistic democracy with a fascist white Christian nationalist government. Wasn’t Alito just caught on a recording expressing his yearning for a more “Godliness” nation? And no one seems to be concerned. Whatever!

I assume f***tard Louisianans realize that the person who delivered the Ten Commandments — Moses — was — wait for it — a Jew. While Christians may claim the Ten Commandments are some kind of retrospective Christian law, they are not; the Ten Commandments are Jewish law from the Torah, established long, long before Jesus was a twinkle in God’s eye. I’m sure if these idiot RepubliKKKlans thought about it hard enough, they would start to feel very uncomfortable about following Jewish traditions over Christian ones, but none of this matters because I live in stupid f***ing hell. The only thing that matters to conservatives is to establish their version of Sharia law — Christianized — for all of America as evinced by the very law just signed in Louisiana. Get ready f***tards. I’ve been warning about this new SCOTUS for years, and right on cue, my warnings are falling on deaf ears — naturally. Welcome to stupid America. The end is here, so dust off your Bibles.

According to The Hill, “Far-right political parties made significant gains during the last day of European parliamentary elections on Sunday, delivering blows to the parties of French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. The National Rally party is estimated to receive at least 30 percent of support in France’s elections, which is about twice the support of Macron’s Renaissance party, which is projected to receive about 15 percent of the vote, according to the European Union’s estimates as of Sunday.”

I assume this is a warning — one that I’ve been sounding for years now domestically as evil forces gain traction internationally, too — that dumbass Democrats will completely ignore, as evinced by what I’m not hearing on Morning Joe and CNN this morning, which refuses to cover (in depth) this inexorable lurch to the right in the E.U. elections, coupled with what happened in India. The lesson to be learned is that incumbencies everywhere are in trouble. In Europe, the status quo of the liberal democracy model is in trouble. In India, Modi’s Indian Nationalism is having issues, not so much in trouble. In America, our democracy is in peril, if not already on life support. Of course, this is par for the course. The warning signs have actually been blinking since before traitor trump with Brexit. The “lurch” (aka a freight train barreling down the tracks) has been coming for years. And, predictably, dumbass Democrats at home and liberal politicians abroad are completely clueless and caught flatfooted because I live in stupid hell. (Oh, and I guess there are some silver linings in other European countries where the far-right did not make gains, but it is troubling, nonetheless, that the far-right’s greatest growth was in the most populous and powerful countries — France and Germany. What could possibly go wrong with that?)

But there is one European leader who is calling B.S.! That person is Macron. According to CNN, “After an exit poll showed Marine Le Pen’s far-right National Rally (RN) party is expected to trounce his own candidates, French President Emmanuel Macron dissolved his parliament and called a risky snap election, with the first round on June 30.” This guy has some f***ing balls — more than Biden — and I like it. In short, Macron is daring the French to bring it! If they really want to put what amounts to a Neo-Vichy government in charge, then let them. And I say good on him for challenging his citizens. It is a risk that could very well backfire on Macron, but I admire his gutsiness. I’m getting to the point where maybe f***tards in America and Europe simply need to be reminded what it’s like to live under authoritarian rule — as if they can’t see what’s happening in Russia, Iran, North Korea, and China. Because, of course, they can’t. (Humanity is just too f***ing stupid; it has to touch the hot stove repeatedly before it learns a lesson!) Case in point: Brexit. Only now, after years of having left the E.U., Britons regret “taking back control” of their country, for Brexit has not delivered what its far-right proponents promised. Who knew?!?! Imagine that! A country leaves the second largest trading block in the world and thought it could come out on the other side more prosperous. Oh, well! Morons! And that same “take back control” mentality is spreading throughout Europe (and America), which is merely code for wanting to mainstream xenophobia, racism, isolationism, bigotry, homophobia, etc.

I also find it rich that one of the “complaints” of Europeans is the “cost” of climate change mandates the E.U. imposes on the continent. Wow! Really? Right on cue: The Paris climate accord is proving too hard and expensive, so let’s just throw liberal democracy into the trash heap of history because Europeans (and similarly Americans) are too f***ing lazy, too stupid, and too apathetic to tackle the global warming crisis. It’s too expensive! Fine! Whatever! You think the cost of proactively fighting global warming is expensive now? Just wait until it’s too late, f***tards. But whatever! Better to live under Neo-Nazi rule, whose leaders are willing to ignore climate change to put a few more Euros in people’s pockets and punish the “other,” than actually tackle the problem. Hasn’t Europe been experiencing record-breaking heat (France!) and flooding (Germany!) every year over the last several years? Simultaneously, aren’t some rivers drying up because of the shift in climate? Aren’t wine regions of Europe collapsing because of the heat and drought conditions in some areas of France and Italy? But you know, those d*mn gays and immigrants! Gotta do something about them! So, elect Neo-Nazis, who have the added benefit of wanting to do nothing to curb global warming. Win-win! Welcome to stupid humanity. Incapable of learning! Nothing matters.

On the eve of the 80th anniversary of D-Day celebration, America finds itself once again defending democracy around the world from the threat of — wait for it, wait for it — fellow Americans, namely MAGA morons, RepubliKKKlans, evil evangelicals, and QAnon kooks. Un-f***ing-believable! I expected nothing less from this sh*t-for-brains country. Only in America! I suppose this is American Exceptionalism at its best! And no one cares because I live in stupid f***ing hell. How pathetic that our nation has fallen so far; that Americans have become so dumbed down; that the collective stupidity of Americans has led us to forget our history, the world’s history of the recent past; that Americans no longer care about democracy and the rule of law; and that the wallet has become more important than the Constitution. (Never mind that capitalism as we know it doesn’t flourish in authoritarian countries and would not in America’s version of Fascism, but no one ever talks about that! Nope! Morons of America think that once we turn the corner toward anointing the president as a quasi-dictator, the world will be comfortable with the dollar remaining the reserve currency of choice. Guess what, f***ards? The primary reason our economy is consistently stronger compared to the rest of the world’s economies and the reason why the rest of the world trusts our markets is because of the stability of our government and the rule of law. All that goes out the window when traitor trump is re-elected. Then we become a pale version of Russia and China. Whatever! No one thinks about these outcomes, and the average American is just too f***ing dumb to engage in such deep thinking, let alone possess a rudimentary grasp of finance and economics. But I digress.)

And if I have to hear one more liberal, progressive, or dumbass Democratic politician and MSM news organization (except Faux News) implore Americans to wake up and care about our democracy, then I’m going to blow my f***ing brains out! Nothing is sinking in with voters because they’re simply too f***ing dumb. They just don’t have the intellect to not touch the hot stove — again! Americans are too ignorant, too apathetic, and too pathetic to understand the significance of the moment. It’s frustrating to hear MSM anchors, commentators, pundits, and “experts” grapple with why Americans are so indifferent to our democracy. They search for every answer except for the correct one. (Hint: The correct answer is the thesis of this blog.) I’ll say it slowly for the idiots out there: Americans! Are! Just! Too! F***ing! Stupid! But whatever! No one cares! Americans are f***ing idiots and can’t apprehend the consequences of another traitor trump presidency despite him explicitly describing his second term as one focused on revenge and retribution. I give up. Welcome to stupid America! The end is coming, if not already here. (P.S. The youth vote and abortion rights are not going to save America! How many times must I say it before you morons believe me!) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It is high-larious to watch the MSM punditry try to divine who traitor trump will pick for his running mate, and it is equally high-larious that the MSM thinks everyone on the “shortlist” has an equal chance of being selected. I’m here to tell you, f***tards, that for all those candidates posturing and GoT-maneuvering their way to the top of the so-called shortlist, most of them are never (were never) going to be considered seriously by traitor trump, namely those who are colored or female. There is no f***ing way that he is going to pick a woman (Stefanik), a Black guy (Scott, Carson), a Hispanic (Cruz, Rubio), or any other non-white guy as a vice presidential running mate. It’s fanciful and, indeed, farcical for anyone (i.e., the MSM) to believe otherwise. (And it only goes to show that the MSM et al. still don’t understand traitor trump. They can’t not stop giving him the benefit of the doubt as if expecting him to become presidential one day.)

So, that really only leaves a few choices remaining: Vance, Cotton, Burgum. Vance and Cotton are too young and possibly too popular and represent the party’s future; either one would take the shine off of traitor trump and make him look older and less relevant. That only leaves Burgum, who is basically milk toast and will blend into the background — precisely where traitor trump wants him. (Burgum, who? Exactly!) Like Pence, traitor trump wants Burgum to be passive and irrelevant. Most importantly, Burgum “looks the part,” which, of course, is the only way to select the successor to the most powerful person in the world. He’s got great hair, and I’m sure traitor trump will make some reference to “central casting” for his reasoning in selecting Burgum because, of course! I would expect nothing less from this country of morons that elected an idiot president. Moreover, it will be lost on everyone that no matter how much MAGA morons, RepubliKKKlans, evil evangelicals, and QAnon kooks praise their Dear Leader for not being a racist and misogynist, he will refuse at every turn to surround himself with those who are not white cis men, especially the vice president. His cabinet, as in his last administration, will be 95 percent white men, and still, this sh*t-for-brains country will proclaim him to be one of the least bigoted presidents ever by — wait for it, wait for it — those minority groups (Hispanic and Blacks) in America that voted for him in greater numbers in 2024 than in 2020. But, whatever! I give up. This country, I fear, needs to suffer before f***tards of America wake the f*** up and realize what traitor trump intends to do with our democracy: Burn it to the ground. Sadly, it will be too late. No one cares! Welcome to stupid America! The dumbest it’s ever been, yet somehow still not dumb enough.

According to CNN, “Now that a New York jury has convicted former President Donald Trump of all 34 felony charges of falsifying business records, the next obvious question is: Can a convicted felon run for president? Definitely.” Because, of course!

I will get to the quote in a minute, but first, let me say that I did not see this outcome coming. I’m just as shocked as most people that a jury unanimously found a former president guilty of criminal behavior. I thought for sure this (any) jury would be hopelessly deadlocked, and traitor trump would get off because of a hung jury, for the New York D.A. would not be willing to bring a second trial. And this completely blows up my First Axiom — oops! I can only hope that my inability to predict the outcome of this trial accurately means I’m entirely wrong about traitor trump winning in November. (We’ll see.) Indeed, the rule of law and democracy have prevailed in this seminal moment. But wait! I cannot so readily concede. There is a nagging recalcitrance, an overriding cynicism, an unwavering contrarian streak in me that must ask how this traitor trump conviction can be undone. Although we are years away from a final disposition as this case will wind its way through the appeals process, what is certain is that this case will eventually end up before SCOTUS, without a doubt. There is no way the justices will not take up this appeal to answer the question: Can a former president, a current presidential candidate, and what could be — depending on the timeline — a sitting president get a fair trial or even be held accountable to the law through a trial (versus impeachment). I think we know that at least three justices believe the president — past, president, and future — is above the law. Again, I’ve been saying this forever: This SCOTUS, as constituted, believes in — indeed, desires to have — an imperial (RepubliKKKlan) president. This is the long shadow, the legacy of a supremely stupid country that elected traitor trump and allowed him to put three uber-conservative justices on the Supreme Court. Oh, well!

In the meantime, let’s talk about the immediate future and, speaking of the long shadow, the naivete of our Founding Fathers who failed to include language in the Constitution that would bar criminals from running for the Office of President. Sadly, they believed citizens would be intelligent enough, and politicians would be honorable enough to preclude such a situation. For nearly 250 years, our society has succeeded in such a belief, but then came the dumbest president ever to sit in the White House, ushered in by the dumbest electorate in the history of the world, and the country was changed in the worst ways forever.

Moreover — and perhaps most depressing — this conviction will change nothing in the race for the White House. Absolutely f***ing nothing because I live in stupid hell! RepubliKKKlans will double down in their support for their criminal candidate because, at its core, the RepubliKKKlan Party is a criminal enterprise that attracts other criminal politicians and criminal-loving voters. (The RepubliKKKlan Party was never the “law and order” party.) And dumbass Democrats — as usual — will fail to capitalize on traitor trump’s conviction because they still have no clue how to play political hardball. Pathetic! The only honorific that should be coming out of every Democrat’s mouth is “convicted felon trump.” But that will never happen because f***tard Democrats are always too nice. Whatever! I’ve given up on the party and Biden. They’re just too f***ing weak to win. Just check any presidential poll! Now, there is allegedly a sliver of the electorate that has claimed they will not vote for a convicted felon for president. I’m not sure I believe that. (I would not be surprised if traitor trump’s standing in the polls went up after this conviction because I expect nothing less from this sh*t-for-brains country.) In the end, it’s the economy, stupid! Always has been, always will be. If a convicted felon can put a few more shekels in voters’ wallets than a non-criminal president, then so be it! How many times must I say it? How many f***ing times? Americans are simply too f***ing stupid to keep their democracy; they just don’t care! Oh, well. Welcome to stupid America. The end is here!

From Yahoo!News, “Nearly 20% of voters blame President Joe Biden for the Supreme Court’s decision to repeal Roe v. Wade in 2022, according to a poll released Monday ― even though former President Donald Trump has repeatedly taken credit for overturning Roe, given that he appointed three conservative Supreme Court justices who were central to the decision. The survey, conducted by The New York Times, Siena College and The Philadelphia Inquirer, found that 17% of registered voters in six swing states believe Biden has “a lot of responsibility” or “some responsibility” for ending the constitutional right to abortion. Just over 55% of respondents said Trump has “some responsibility” or “a lot of responsibility” for overturning Roe.”

Have I mentioned that I hate this country? I really f***ing do! I hate the people and their incomprehensible stupidity. I’m surrounded by morons, and it’s getting to the point where American f***tards are killing our democracy. I’m not even going to comment on this survey because it’s pointless beyond saying this: Traitor trump brags about ending Roe. Yet morons of America still think Biden did it! Whatever! I’ve long given up believing this country can be saved from its own stupidity. It cannot. It is impossible. If you’re one of those morons who thinks Biden ended the national right to abortions, then please go kill yourself. You’re worthless to humanity. Welcome to stupid America! The end is already here. You f***tards just haven’t figured it out yet — and probably never will.
