America’s Death — By Text, QAnon, and Stupidy

America is too stupid to survive! America is dying by a thousand cuts from texts, QAnon, and its stupidity. I’m sorry to say it, but the 40 percent of the country comprising RepubliKKKlans, MAGA morons, evil evangelicals, and QAnon kooks who want to destroy America’s democracy are winning! Howard Stern was right; they are winning. And dumbass Democrats are sitting by and watching.

The revelation of text messages exchanged between Ginni Thomas and Mark Meadows is the focus of my ire. As the HuffPost summarizes, “Ginni Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, sent nearly two dozen text messages urging former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows to aggressively move to overturn the 2020 presidential election, according to copies of the missives obtained Thursday by The Washington Post and CBS News. … In the messages, Ginni Thomas repeatedly pressed Meadows to reverse the 2020 election results, touting conspiracy theories about voter fraud and right-wing falsehoods about Biden and his family members. … Trump had aggressively moved to block the release of many of the presidential records sought by the House select committee. The Supreme Court in January, however, turned down a request to do so, which immediately gave the panel access to hundreds of pages of documents related to the Jan. 6 attack. Justice Thomas was the lone member of the court to say he disagreed with that move [emphasis added].”

I will get right to the point. SCOTUS is corrupt! QAnon and the Big Lie have finally corrupted the last pillar of America’s democracy. Do not believe anything you hear about the ability of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas to separate their personal and professional lives. It is a f***ing lie! These two are peas in a pod professionally and personally. You can mix, match, and parse their personal and professional beliefs in any number of combinations among and betwixt them and you will not have lost any meaning and fidelity of the whole. Ginni could have authored Clarence’s legal opinions, and Ginni’s text could have been written by Clarance, and no one would know the difference. Moreover, there is no way SCOTUS can undo the corruption of Clarence failing to recuse himself from a case involving the release of the aforementioned texts. It is inconceivable that he was unaware of a conflict of interest. As I have written before: SCOTUS has no ethics. They prove it daily. So, why do I focus on SCOTUS so much, given the behavior of a wife of a justice? Because with SCOTUS being fatally corrupted, then America is on life support. There is a reason why the current approval rating of SCOTUS is the lowest on record. People have lost faith. They have lost faith in all three branches of government, so there is nothing left to support the country.

So, congratulations to all the RepubliKKKlans, MAGA morons, evil evangelicals, and QAnon kooks. They have spent years trying to corrupt American institutions to the point that weakens the nation, and they have finally succeeded. This was a long time coming, and these text messages show the extent and the level to which the rot has reached every part of the country — right through to SCOTUS. Of course, the sad end could not have been made possible, in part, without a complicit and apathetic dumbass Democratic Party, topped off with an abjectly stupid citizenry who just doesn’t care. This country has become consumed by QAnon and pure unadulterated idiocracy. The 40 percent is just stupid enough to kill us all. Fan-f***ing-tastic! Oh, well. Welcome to stupid America! Too stupid to survive!

Traitor Fugitive

Traitor Evan Neumann

According to The Hill, “Belarus granted refugee status to Capitol riot defendant Evan Neumann, according to Belarusian state-run media, which circulated a photo of him apparently holding country documents. ‘US citizen Evan Newman [sic] received refugee status in Belarus. The document was handed to him in the Department of Citizenship and Migration of the Internal Affairs Directorate of the Brest Regional Executive Committee on March 22, 2022,’ the Belarusian Telegraph Agency reported on Twitter.”

Um, yeah. If you have to run to an enemy nation to protect yourself from insurrectionist charges, then you are the definition of a traitor and a fugitive, just like every other RepubliKKKlan, MAGA moron, evil evangelical, and QAnon kook. All these people are traitors to America, without exception. You guys should feel free to abscond to Russia! You people are not wanted here in America!

They’re Coming for Your Straight Marriage Next

According to nwi.com (Times Media Co. of Northwest Indiana), “U.S. Sen. Mike Braun, R-Ind., would welcome the U.S. Supreme Court rescinding its 1967 ruling that legalized interracial marriage nationwide in favor of allowing each of the 50 states to decide such issues on its own. Speaking Tuesday on a conference call with Indiana reporters, the Hoosier senator unambiguously declared his belief that many of the high court’s key civil rights decisions of the past 70 years were wrongly decided and an improper usurpation of state’s rights. … But, when asked by The Times, Braun admitted there are many Supreme Court decisions he believes improperly established federal rights that would be better handled on a state-by-state basis, including Loving v. Virginia that legalized interracial marriage, and Griswold v. Connecticut (1965) establishing a right to privacy concerning contraceptive use.”

I was literally just writing about this the other day. Look, f***tards! These articles fall in my lap, so to speak. Seriously, I peruse my regular news sources, and these types of articles stand out. It is not a coincidence that when I write about RepubliKKKlans coming for your rights, suddenly, as if right on cue, RepubliKKKlan lawmakers start popping up to express their support to turn back the right of interracial marriages and birth control. I don’t know how many times I have to tell all you f***tards out there: This new SCOTUS will start stripping everyone’s rights. RepubliKKKlans are already planting the seeds for everything they want the high court to begin reversing — abortion rights, gay marriage, interracial marriage, birth control, privacy in your bedroom is just for starters, off the top of my head.

This state’s rights movement spearheaded by conservatives will be a disaster for America. Think about marriage, for example. What happens when SCOTUS declares interracial marriage should be left to the states to decide? The U.S. Constitution only mentions race once (and marriage not at all), thusly: “The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.” Given the conservative makeup of SCOTUS, which now subscribes to originalism as their primary legal, philosophical doctrine, if it ain’t exactly written into the Constitution, then it ain’t protected. So, don’t think race and marriage are explicitly protected rights. They are not! In fact, the underlying right that justices have long inferred as being in the Constitution is the right to privacy (and liberty) which derives from the Due Process Clause in the Fourteenth Amendment (see substantive due process and here [And, yes, I read all of it.]); this is the fundamental right that justifies gay marriage, interracial marriage, abortion, birth control, sodomy (for the gays only, of course), and other unenumerated rights. But with this ultra-conservative SCOTUS, that basic underpinning is under threat because, again, the right to “privacy” is not explicitly enshrined in the Constitution. In short, the conservative wing of SCOTUS wants to shred the substantive due process doctrine, which is the linchpin to underdoing federal protection of privacy rights. So, if privacy is not in the Constitution, then it’s up to the states to determine what constitutes “your right to privacy.” Yeah, good luck with that! For a segment of the country — RepubliKKKlans, MAGA morons, evil evangelicals, and QAnon kooks — that abhors the notion of government being in their business, they sure are eager for the business of SCOTUS to ensure state governments can do just that — get up in their private business. Whatever! I live in stupid hell!

All the right-winger nutjobs need is one old-school evil evangelical to refuse to grant a marriage license to an interracial couple because doing so would violate that person’s First Amendment right, as was the case before Loving, where the Bible was used to justify banning such marriages. I could see such a case going to SCOTUS and Justice Thomas writing the majority opinion that would deny his own interracial marriage, but that would be par for the course for all conservatives; they are more than willing to shoot themselves in the foot as long as they can tell everyone else beneath them how to live their lives.

Then watch as all the blue states make interracial marriage legal while all the red, racist states make it illegal. So now, when interracial married couples travel to a red state, their marriage is suddenly no longer recognized. Part of the reason this country works — I use the term loosely — is that states have implicitly agreed to abide by some standard norms, but with RepubliKKKlans gunning for 50 individual nation-states, America is headed toward 50 waring — literally — neighbors sooner rather than later. RepubliKKKlans, MAGA morons, evil evangelicals, and QAnon kooks genuinely want a country divided along red and blue lines, where the red states can simply ignore any rights from blue-state visitors if they even allow such travel across state lines. Ultimately, this is where we are headed with this ultra-conservative theocratic-friendly SCOTUS; leave everything up to the states. The federal government only exists for national defense, regulating interstate commerce, and taxation. Honestly, you morons are seriously suffering from a lack of imagination when it comes to the future of America under this SCOTUS.

Mark my words! You may think I’m hyperbolic, but I see the signs; they are not concealed. RepubliKKKlans are not being shy about their intentions. But whatever! No one cares because it’s SCOTUS. People will only start caring when it’s too late. This is what happens when a society becomes apathetic and dumbed down. Your rights are next. Oh, well. You heard it hear first. But enjoy your rights while you can, and welcome to stupid America!

‘Why Conservative Parts of the U.S. Are So Angry’

From the titled article (above) in Yes!, “Decades of political decisions and policies have created a massive and growing chasm between the economic and social disaster unfolding in small-town and rural parts of the United States, and the prosperity and safety of cities and suburbs. Many of those successful urban and suburban areas have reaped the rewards of electing largely moderate, competent Democratic leaders. Meanwhile, rural areas have elected Republicans drawn from a party that is increasingly incompetent, corrupt, and willing to engage in outright racism to win elections. … This is not simply an urban–rural divide. For the largest urbanized states, the three with Democratic control of all branches of government (California, New York, and Illinois) had GDPs per capita vastly higher than the three biggest Republican-controlled states (Texas, Florida, and Ohio). … Surveys and studies consistently find Trump’s generally older, White supporters enraged at ‘loss of status’ and in fear of being ‘replaced’ by non-White people. That White people are falling behind across key economic, health, and safety indexes is not due to victimization by immigrants and liberal conspiracies, however, but to victimization by other Whites and self-inflicted alcoholism, drug overdose, and suicide. … Yet, despite these gains, White voters vehemently rejected Democrats in successive elections. Today, Trump’s base voters are electing candidates who share their racial resentment and imagined victimization, not those who actually are advancing their safety and economic well-being.”

There never seems to be an end to these types of compositions that reaffirm a manifest conclusion of the state of the RepubliKKKlan Party: All conservatives — RepubliKKKlans, MAGA morons, evil evangelicals, and QAnon kooks — suffer from white privilege grievance syndrome. We have finally achieved critical mass in stupid America, where white grievance determines how people vote and how politicians attract their voters. None of this is new, but what is novel is that white grievance is the overwhelmingly and singularly driving force of white voters. They would rather live in a state of poverty and turpitude than recognize that the days of protestant white straight cis men ruling over everyone else are over. Rather than coming to terms with the notion of an ever-changing and ever-progressing world, they want to drag America back to the 1850s. It is a lamentable commentary on a country that is more interested in looking backward than forward. Whites would cut off their nose despite their face without thinking twice if they thought it was a way to keep the minorities — people of color, the gays, women — in their place, which is well below in the social order and supplicant to white folk! To all those aggrieved RepubliKKKlans, MAGA morons, evil evangelicals, and QAnon kooks, I say this: F*** your feelings! Welcome to stupid America!

They’re Dying, Just Not Enough

Weekly Excess Death Rate (per 100 000) in Selected States, 2021.

In an article from The Journal of the American Medical Association, “In the past decade, the growing polarization of ‘red’ and ‘blue’ states has further widened the divide on policies ranging from Medicaid expansion and abortion to education, immigration, redistricting, unions, and criminal justice. Conservative governors increasingly use preemption, the authority to override local governments, to block liberal health policies (eg, indoor smoking bans). States have preempted local regulations on nutrition (eg, menu labeling, food deserts) and, as of 2013, 45 states had enacted statutes to limit local firearm regulations. The COVID-19 pandemic removed any doubt that state policies can affect health outcomes. East Coast states (eg, New York, New Jersey) that responded to the first wave of the pandemic in the spring of 2020 with strict protective measures achieved relatively quick control of community spread within as much as 8 weeks, and they blunted subsequent surges by reinstating those policies. In contrast, states that had spent decades opposing public health provisions were among the most resistant to COVID-19 guidelines and took active measures to resist restrictions. Some elected officials made a political issue out of challenging scientific evidence, embracing dubious theories, and labeling public health safeguards as infringements on personal freedom. Conservative governors used preemption to reverse efforts by mayors and school districts to control local transmission rates.”

In short and not surprising in the least, red states are killing their citizens, and even less incredible is that these red-state residents really don’t care. By almost every conceivable measure related to health, wealth, freedom, equality, and so forth, blue states are better for their citizenry than red states. Still, RepubliKKKlans, MAGA morons, evil evangelicals, and QAnon kooks don’t care because of FREEDOM! I could not agree more; they should have the FREEDOM! to die quickly and often. The only problem is they are not dying in sufficiently large numbers to impact elections. RepubliKKKlans seem to be surviving enough to out-vote Democrats. Welcome to stupid America!

Indeed, It Is Not Enough

Accounting to the Atlantic Council, “[T]he United States, Europe, and their global partners should add to the impressive array of sanctions against Russia. Their impact thus far, according to the Council’s Brian O’Toole and Daniel Fried, ‘has been to flatten the Russian financial system, crash the ruble, spur a likely sovereign default, and probably move the Russian economy into a depression.’ Yet as Putin’s forces continue their attack, O’Toole and Fried provide a menu (in ascending order of impact) of potential next steps: expanding the sanctions against Putin’s cronies and subordinates; extending sanctions on more banks and key companies (they suggest Gazprombank, Russian Agricultural Bank, AlfaBank, Sovcomflot, Russian Railways, and the diamond company Alrosa); and blocking the Russian government by sanctioning all Russia-state-owned companies. And if all else fails, enacting a full financial embargo that would ban all transactions, exports, and imports with Russia. What’s not in doubt is that Putin will continue to escalate if more isn’t done to stop him. … Putin has lost: He will never be able to entirely pacify and occupy Ukraine, and he has done generational damage to the Russia whose power and prestige he was once determined to build. However, his opponents have not won: Saving Ukraine, and sustaining their newfound common cause, is the key to shaping the global future. What has been accomplished against Putin thus far is remarkable, but it is still insufficient [emphasis added].”

To be sure, the West’s response to Putin’s war has surprised everyone — most of all Putin. I, too, had believed that the West was (still is to a degree) too weak to stand up to authoritarian regimes after years of appeasing the aggression of Putin and other dictatorial governments. Even in America, the rise and sustained love-affair with authoritarian rulers — traitor trump — certainly does not assuage my agita that Americans are one election away from reversing everything Biden and the West are achieving to counter Russia in Ukraine. Recall, traitor trump and the RepubliKKKlan are openly hostile to Ukraine. As the Washington Post reported in 2016, “The Trump campaign worked behind the scenes last week to make sure the new Republican platform won’t call for giving weapons to Ukraine to fight Russian and rebel forces, contradicting the view of almost all Republican foreign policy leaders in Washington.” Today, this is still part of the official RepubliKKKlan platform: Don’t help Ukraine! Pay no attention to what RepubliKKKlans say or do in their criticism of Biden’s handling of Ukraine. Do not pay attention when RepubliKKKlans vote in favor of aid for Ukraine. They are all hypocrites, and when traitor trump returns to the White House, Ukraine will be readily delivered to Russia with a bow on it while all RepubliKKKlans will sign the “Welcome Back, Russia. We Missed You!” card. Actually, the true state of RepubliKKKlan beliefs regarding Ukraine resides in what Marjorie Taylor Greene says and does; she is the authentic barometer of RepubliKKKlan, MAGA moron, evil evangelical, and QAnon kook sentiment on Ukraine.

All that being said, the West must do more for Ukraine. The authors of the article I quoted above were absolutely correct; although Russia is losing the fight as the situation stands now, it does not mean Ukraine and the West are winning. I hope the West truly understands the gravity of this moment. Not only must they do more to support Ukraine, but they must realize they have to do more to counter the threat of Putin. Forcing a Russian withdrawal from Ukraine is not enough and it absolutely must not be the end game! Hell! F****ing! No! It is only the first step. Unfortunately, this is where the weakness of the West and liberal democracies cripple the world: Democratic nations fail to kick dictators while they’re down. The West should be willing to beat the sh*t out of Putin. Full stop! But, no. I have no doubt that if Putin comes to his senses — however unlikely — and decides to negotiate a peace settlement, then the West will do everything it can to help Putin back up and try to convince him to return to the world order as a “good” global citizen, reflecting, once again, a profound inability of the West to learn from even the most immediate history. Putin must be removed from power. Anything short of that is failing to do enough! Sadly, the West always falls short of doing the right thing — completely!

Bleed the MAGA Morons Dry — They Deserve It

As Salon writes, “Donald Trump’s PAC sent a fundraising email touting the construction of a new private jet, dubbed ‘Trump Force One,’ hours after Trump’s plane was forced to make an emergency landing over the weekend, according to Insider. … Hours after the incident was reported, the Trump Save America PAC sent a fundraising email about a ‘very important update on his plane,’ according to Insider. ‘Do you want to see the new Trump Force One?’ the email asked, with a link to a site that asks for monthly recurring donations of up to $2,500. … Critics called out the self-proclaimed billionaire for bilking his supporters of money to pay for a new private jet.”

If you are a RepubliKKKlan, MAGA moron, evil evangelical, or QAnon kooks or (likely) all of the above, then please, by all means, give your entire life savings to traitor trump and all the other grifters. Please! You are all m*****f***ing G.D. moronic suckers, and these grifters have your number, so please give, give, give until you starve and die, and ultimately you can’t vote! Welcome to stupid America. Forty percent prime stupid!

Another Thing I Nailed!

The headline of a Washington Post article reads: “Missouri lawmaker seeks to prohibit residents from obtaining abortions out of state.” The article goes on to say, “The measure could signal a new strategy by the antiabortion movement to extend its influence beyond the GOP-led states poised to enact tighter restrictions if the Supreme Court weakens its landmark precedent upholding abortion rights. … Now, a prominent antiabortion lawmaker in Missouri, from where thousands of residents have traveled to next-door Illinois to receive abortions since Missouri passed one of the country’s strictest abortion laws in 2019, believes she has found a solution.” More from Newsweek, “A Missouri state lawmaker has proposed a bill that would allow private citizens to be sued for aiding women who get out-of-state abortions. If it makes its way through the legislative process, the measure, which is currently awaiting debate in the House, could allow any private citizen in Missouri to sue someone who assisted a fellow Missourian in obtaining an abortion in another state. … Coleman’s measure is reportedly piggybacking off of a recent antiabortion law in Texas that prohibits most abortions in that state after the six-week mark of pregnancy. In addition to opening the door for lawsuits for aiding with out-of-state abortions, the Missouri bill would also make it illegal to manufacture or distribute abortion pills in the state.”

And allow myself to quote myself from a post dated May 2021, “Once SCOTUS effectively kills Roe next year, the next goal will be to criminalize women’s movement in states where abortion is illegal to other states to undergo the procedure legally. Mark my words, f***tards. You can take this next step to the bank.” So! I nailed it! I nailed it! I nailed it! You heard it here first — a year ago! Except, I will admit that Missouri is not waiting on SCOTUS; they are taking a page from Texas’ abortion bill, which SCOTUS has provided (not so) tacit approval. And I will grant that this proposal is not law — yet. But the notion is now out there for every other RepubliKKKlan legislature to witness. Look, morons of America. My calling for this next step in the war against women and civil liberties was particularly easy and not all that creative or original. (For the extreme nerd, peruse this legal scholarly article on abortion.)

Look around you, f***tards! America is heading toward a less free country thanks to SCOTUS, RepubliKKKlans, MAGA morons, evil evangelicals, and QAnon kook. The country’s move toward a more restrictive and bigoted nation is also facilitated, in part, by apathetic and moronic voters who are just too f***ing stupid to be bothered with fighting for America’s democracy. And don’t get me started about the inability of dumbass Democrats to mount a ruthless fight to protect our democracy and freedoms! Ukrainians — soldiers, civilians, teenagers, grandmothers — are standing up to Russia and dying to defend their democracy. Yet, Americans are too f***ing G.D. lazy to get informed and vote as if their lives depended on it, which people will start realizing is no longer a cliché. What kind of country will America become wherein a woman can no longer travel outside her state to perform a legal medical procedure? You see what’s happening here, I hope? Women will soon have no freedom of movement. They will be assumed into bodily servitude under the state in which they were born. There is no bottom to conservatives’ desires to control women and minorities through their fundamentalist religiosity.

I could say I hate to boast about being right, but I won’t. Part of the point of this blog is to scream at the world about everything I see happening now and coming in the future that the rest of the country just kinda shrugs off. Whatever! We get the government we deserve, and we’re about to feel the pain of our choices (or indifference) in spectacular fashion, especially for women and minorities. Next is LGBTQ rights, which are already under attack across several states. It is coming! RepubliKKKlans are coming for your rights! Make my words, f***tards. Welcome to stupid America! Always dumber!

I Am a Biden Defender Now

Rather than qualify all my future posts with an admission that I was a fierce critic of Biden’s first year, especially regarding his domestic policies and legislative failures, I will state my unequivocal change of mind here in one post. I will not belabor the details of my past frustration with him in this space; you can search my past rantings. Biden is now a wartime president, and he has shown incredible ability to rally the Allies to counter Russian aggression. He is the world leader for which America has been waiting, and, in my mind, there is no other pressing issue, no other monumental task toward which Biden (and every American) should focus; that task is to save Ukraine and save democracy around the world. All that being said, I will continue to assail dumbass Democrats for their incompetence because they are about to hand RepubliKKKlans and traitor trump permanent political control at a time of the highest peril for America and democracy. As always, RepubliKKKlans, MAGA morons, evil evangelicals, QAnon kook, and the like are all traitors to America, without exception! Welcome to stupid America!

CPAC: A Traitors’ Convention

Recall the picture above from a 2017 CPAC ensemble of traitors. The 2022 CPAC is absolutely no different, as key speakers like traitor trump, traitor Charlie Kirk, traitor Candace Owens, and traitor Tulsi Gabbard sing Putin’s praises and minimize the Ukrainian war. Their silence or lack of a full-throated denunciation of Putin as a war criminal is the same as condoning his actions. It is the wink-and-nod approval, and they know it. The New York Times writes, “Geoffrey Kabaservice, a historian of the Republican Party, said some [most] conservatives are enthralled by ‘cheering on Putin as he wrecks the liberal order and makes all those smarty-pants experts cry.’” Of course! It’s just all snowflake resentment. And you know what? We execute traitors in America!

I will give traitor Kirk credit for one thing he said about Ukraine as being a country with “cities we can’t pronounce, places that most Americans can’t find on a map.” Yup! No doubt he couldn’t, and everyone else in that convention couldn’t find Ukraine on a map because they’re all f***ing morons of the highest m*****f***ing G.D. order. Those f***tards couldn’t find the U.S.A. on a map of North America. That’s how stupid RepubliKKKlans, MAGA morons, evil evangelicals, and QAnon kooks are. Their stupidity is incomprehensible and boundless. And the traitors love to meet regularly to prove it! Unfortunately, these f***tards comprise 40 percent of the American population, and as I have been saying for years now: America is too stupid to survive because we don’t do anything about these people; we just allow them to breed unabated! And then we are surprised when vermin infect the country? Welcome to stupid America!
