CNN: “‘The President of the United States owes farmers like myself some type of plan of action,’ John Wesley Boyd Jr., a soybean farmer in Baskerville, Virginia, told CNN’s Brianna Keilar on Monday. ‘Farmers were his base. They helped elect this president … and now he’s turning his back on America’s farmers when we need him the most,’ he added.” If only I could say that I cared!
I have read the critical reviews and I say: eh! The finale could have been better, but there were a couple of poignant moments in the last episode such as Brienne immortalizing Jamie’s legacy as the hero who “Died protecting his Queen,” which realized both the flawed (irredeemable) character of Jamie and the fact that he could still be remembered nobly by someone who loved him nonetheless. Of course, another memorable scene is the last one in which Jon rides off into the same woods where the GoT journey began. I’ve always liked stories that come full circle in the end. One cannot help but feel the sadness and pain of the story’s greatest hero ultimately enduring the same punishment for being a bastard as for saving the seven kingdoms. I think this is a particularly salient takeaway that other critics neglected to recognize. Jon is the classic tragic hero. He is a Snow and will always be a Snow, thus banished to live among the Wildlings — those with whom he has always felt a kinship. In short, he is returning home in the end.
Now, as for all the other criticisms of the last season — the pace, the storytelling, the character misdevelopment, the narrative shortcutting and so forth. This is all true. Everything about this season was rushed and took the viewer for granted, sadly! Needless to say, most GoT followers are fairly savvy viewers (except those idiots signing a petition for a season 8 redo — OMG! — get a life) who understand and expect the complexity of the characters and the story. The decision to end the series when they did seemed to leave too much left to be told in too short a time. Conquering the White Walkers and deciding the new king of Westeros in one (shortened) season is just too much too quickly. I guess we will never know why there was such a rush, but the storytelling suffered in the end. It was always going to be difficult to top scenes like the Red Wedding or narratives like how Hordor got his name or when Cersei blows up the Great Sept. They kind of gave up in the end. I guess the writers and creators, alike, couldn’t wait to move on from this project.
According to Axios: “U.S. Army whistleblower Chelsea Manning has been jailed again on civil contempt charges for refusing to cooperate with a grand jury subpoena on Thursday.” I say lock it up and throw away the f***ing key. Let’s not pretend it is a traitor to America, and that it gave prominence and legitimacy to Wikileaks which helped destroy Hillary and elect traitor trump. It — Manning– in my mind is just as f***ing guilty! That traitor can go live with Snowden in Russia!
Politico writes, “The sudden pivot from geostrategy to retweets and likes surprised the lawmakers. It was a remarkable moment given that not long ago Scavino was managing Trump’s golf club. But for Scavino himself, it was just another day on the job. With few allies left in the West Wing, Trump frequently leans on his unassuming social media guru for affirmation and advice about how his most sensitive policies will be received, according to interviews with more than two dozen current and former White House officials, and others close to the president.” The incomprehensible stupidity of the country never ceases to amaze me. Idiot traitor trump measures the popularity of his domestic and foreign policies based on the number of retweets and likes on social media! I can’t anymore. I just f***ing can’t! This is the person 42% of the f***tards in this country think is doing a good job. Mind-blowing! Welcome to stupid America. It just is!
WOW! It is remarkable that this country literally gets dumber every day! Politico reports, “A majority, 54 percent, say they think Trump has been successful in business, the poll shows, while 36 percent say he has been unsuccessful. One in 10 voters say they have no opinion about his success.” I guess “successful” has a rather weak definition in people’s minds. Welcome to stupid America where a man who loses $1 Billion over ten years is considered successful.
From a USA Today headline: “Trump job approval surges to highest level since first month in office, RCP average finds.” M*****f***er! I can’t anymore. I just f***ing can’t! It is difficult to wake up to such a headline and wonder how this country still functions with so many f***ing G.D. stupid people doing apparently anything from driving (which does explain just about everything I see on the road) to waiting on people to managing a store to cutting hair and the list goes continues. Now I’m regretting having removed another prediction from the webpage which conjectured traitor trump’s approval rating would cross above 50% after the Mueller report fizzle. I suppose that I was too impatient for it not to come true, but it is headed that way after all.
I assume his approval rating continues to climb because “the economy stupid.” Welcome to stupid America! We only collectively care about the economy here. As long as people have “theirs” then it’s f*** the rest of humanity! Just a f***ing wonderful Zeitgeist for the country by which to live. Traitor trump is the embodiment of this immoral ethos.
Axios reports, “Two days after Axios published an investigation of Bossie’s fundraising, the president personally authorized the Trump campaign to issue an extraordinary statement that, without naming Bossie, effectively called for the authorities to investigate Bossie’s group, the Presidential Coalition.” Hello, f***tards! The only reason traitor trump is upset about this situation is because he did not get a cut of the graft. So f***ing stupid. Welcome to stupid America!
From Axios: “The Philadelphia policy has not been finalized, and there is no timeline for rollout yet. The plan is for it to be a diversion system, which means anyone arrested or charged for having small amounts of illicit substances would not face incarceration or having a criminal record.” Only in America do people become criminals for having an addiction, which is a medical problem. What else does one expect in a country filled with the dumbest people on the planet? Welcome to stupid America. Dumber by the day when these injustices persist.
The headline to a CNN opinion piece reads thus: “Good riddance to Milo, Jones and Farrakhan. But the Facebook ban offers a false sense of security.” While the author, S.E. Cupp, correctly acknowledges this is not an issue about censorship, I have heard many other raise consternation about corporate censorship of this sort. They couch their caution about Facebook’s decision to censor certain speech as if it infringes on the “public square.” Let me make something clear about corporate censorship: it is perfectly legal! This is not government censorship, which is unconstitutional and something other critics seem to forget. This notion that Facebook has somehow become the new forum for public debate is f***ing ridiculous! It is amazing how others are so willing and ready to elevate Facebook to the new street corner. It is not. Last I checked the street corner is not in the business of making a profit (unless a hooker occupies it). Last I checked the street corner is maintained, policed, and indeed brought into existence by the collective will of the public (aka the government). Facebook is not the collective will of the public; it may be the collective repository of expression of the public. Otherwise, it is the collective will of management (i.e., Zuckerberg). Un-f***ing-believable.
CNN reports: “‘Your Democrat governor here in Wisconsin, shockingly, stated that he will veto legislation that protects Wisconsin babies born alive,’ Trump said. ‘The baby is born, the mother meets with the doctor, they take care of the baby, they wrap the baby beautifully, and then the doctor and the mother determine whether or not they will execute the baby.’” One would think everybody who hears this non-sense says or thinks, WTF?
Yet sure enough, traitor trump says such things because idiots out there believe him. How do I know, because such an idiot who cuts my hair repeated this same anecdote to me. (I don’t know how we got on this topic but we did.) Sure as Scheiße she (incorrectly) described the Wisconsin legislation in question that would allow, as traitor trump states, the mother to terminate a baby after delivery as a form of legalizing late-term abortions. She went further to explain how this legislation would allow a mother giving birth to decide to terminate the baby as she was delivering it as if such a mercurial decision could be considered earnest and ubiquitous. No doubt she probably found this “news” on Facebook because that’s where most morons seem to go for “facts” or “alternative facts” in RepubliKKKlan and MAGA moron speak. In fact, the legislation addresses a very rare and specific situation in which a mother is allowed to make the equivalent to a DNR decision. This is not legalizing smothering a baby after birth as anti-abortion people would like to believe. One cannot make up the level of stupidity that resides apparently — everywhere! Needless to say, I was rather incredulous about such obvious B.S. Once again, these type of people like to conflate everything regarding babies with abortions. No matter the legislation, the circumstances, or the story, if there is a baby, a womb, and a doctor involved then it must be something pro-abortion because rational thought stops at the first synaptic impulse for these morons. Welcome to stupid America. It is literally everywhere!
