America is in peril — grave peril — and no one cares. According to CNN, “The recent US Supreme Court decision changing voter registration rules in Arizona has voting rights advocates anxious about how the justices will approach emergency election appeals in the runup to the November election. Not only was the Arizona ruling a missed opportunity for the justices to explain when they will engage in election and voting cases, experts say it has also heightened concern that the court is unevenly applying a murky legal principle intended to reduce chaos rather than add to it. The ‘Purcell principle,’ rooted in a 2006 Supreme Court decision, warns federal courts to avoid making last minute changes to the status quo of voting rules before an election. But 18 years later, what counts as ‘status quo’ and ‘last-minute’ remains debatable. That lack of clarity – and what critics see as an inconsistent application of the doctrine – could be a critical factor in this year’s election. … The unusual vote split meant that either Chief Justice John Roberts or Justice Brett Kavanaugh – or both – allowed part of the Arizona law to go forward but not all of it. It’s not clear why at least one of them split the difference.

“In 2022, the court relied on Purcell in another redistricting suit – this time in Alabama. A 5-4 majority allowed a congressional map drawn by state Republicans to remain in place, even though a lower court said the map likely violated the Voting Rights Act by diluting the political power of Black voters. The court ruled in that matter in February 2022, about four months before that state’s primary (though early voting began in late March). ‘When an election is close at hand, the rules of the road must be clear and settled,’ Kavanaugh wrote at the time case. ‘Late judicial tinkering with election laws can lead to disruption and to unanticipated and unfair consequences for candidates, political parties, and voters, among others.’”

Make no mistake, f***tards! SCOTUS is determined to elect traitor trump. Mark my words! SCOTUS is all over the place in terms of abiding by its own legal precedent. Indeed, one justice (Kavanaugh) cannot follow his own advice, which was laid out in a legal opinion he authored a mere two years ago. The only consistency in their opinions is how to help RepubliKKKlans win and remain in power. I’ve been saying this for years — almost to the point I’m sick of warning others — SCOTUS is going to drive this country right into a theocracy, and no one f***ing cares. Welcome to stupid America. Too stupid to survive. I keep telling you, morons. But no one is listening. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oh my! Has it been that long since I last posted? I guess so. When the state of the country appears somewhat less perilous, I sure do take long breaks. It is only now that I’m beginning to believe a Harris-Walz ticket has a slightly better than 50-50 chance of saving the country, but, as always, I have cynical thoughts. My first instinct when Harris announced Walz as her running mate was, “Oh, that guy! Why?” I had been hoping for a younger partner. Little did I know Harris and Walz are essentially the same age. But optics are everything. Then, I watched him at the rally, where he introduced himself to the nation, and I liked him. Moreover, I love that he appears to be the fearless attack dog dumbass Democrats have long needed!

On the other hand, I keep hearing this “joy” description everywhere in the media. I suppose this is where my “old man” inner self comes out, for in these dire times, it seems joy is the wrong approach, but it appears to be working, given the enthusiasm and Harris-Walz crowd sizes. Don’t get me wrong, do what works, and if a joyful message is the means, then so be it, but let’s not lose sight of the fact that America is heading toward an election whereby a mere 100,000 votes in three or four states will determine if America’s democracy lives or dies. In my mind, joy is not the motivating emotion; abject terror is. But that’s just me. I guess if the yutes are motivated to vote via joy, then more power to them.

Now, on to traitor trump. Once again, the MSM jumped. Traitor trump called a last-minute “press conference,” and the MSM reflexively asked, “How high (to jump), Sir?” Because traitor trump is an attention whore, the MSM has to oblige; they can’t not!

I think this headline and byline from a Politico article captures the shift in focus well: “How Trump and Vance went from a ‘threat to democracy’ to ‘weird’; With Harris at the top of the ticket, Democrats shift to a simpler characterization of Trump.” I have never in my life seen Democrats coalesce around a single message so quickly, uniformly, and consistently. From Harris campaign surrogates to liberal talk show hosts, ‘weird’ was the word of the day. I’m just not sure it’s the right course of action, or, perhaps more precisely, I can’t believe ‘weird’ is the messaging that has gained so much traction. How is it that we’ve dumbed down Americans so much by going from a message of this presidential election as being a moment for citizens to rise up and save America’s democracy to calling RepubliKKKlans weirdos? And it’s working. Ugh! Call me incredulous, but using the word ‘weird’ belies the true seriousness of this election. But whatever, I guess. Welcome to stupid, ‘weird’ America!

Wow. Is this the Dark Brenda (no pejorative intended) for which we’ve been waiting? I listened to Harris speak at the Biden (now Harris) campaign headquarters in Delaware and her first speech at a campaign event in Wisconsin, and I was happy to hear her message. It was beyond refreshing and a relief to hear her make a case for candidacy more clearly, forcefully, and energetically than Biden could ever do consistently. Harris is the fighter that Biden refused to be, which is why I’ve been calling Biden weak for the last three years to my utter frustration. The nice guy, grandpa persona has grown very tiresome with me and, dare I say, with most of the Democratic base. I think this is why such a large segment of the electorate has been so down on Biden. It’s not so much his age or apparent lapses in mental acuity; it’s because, in the face of traitor trump, Biden was simply not a fighter. As I’ve repeatedly said, if we could see Dark Brandon on the campaign trail all the time, then the race might be different, but to see that forceful side of Biden only every now and then was just not going to cut it. I say: Let’s go, Dark Brenda!

I will give Harris a short runway to prove she is a fighter against traitor trump that I think she should be. This will be my biggest test for her. Harris better be the f***ing G.D. street-brawling candidate that Biden never was. That has always been my greatest complaint about Biden: He’s weak! Not his age or his accomplishments, but his f***ing weakness. The few times I really respected Biden was when Dark Brandon came out, but those moments were few and far between. In the meantime, he was too congenial to his enemies. I mean, seriously! I think he has yet to label traitor trump a convicted felon; every time he (and now Harris) mentions traitor trump, it should be preceded by the moniker “convicted felon.” And that goes for all Democrats who call out the former occupant of the White House. Killing RepubliKKKlans with kindness is not the answer to combating fascists. The whole f***ing dumbass Democratic Party is weak. I swear to f***ing God, if Harris can’t summon her inner attack dog, then the party and the country are doomed.

I have to say that my first, immediate reaction to this news was slight anger and then sadness, which surprised me. But after a few minutes of absorbing the news, it was clearly the right, honorable (only) decision. And now all my prognostications of the upcoming presidential race are off — mostly. (This certainly shakes up the race, but does it shake it up in the right ways?) I have not thought much on a Harris-[TBD] ticket. (And there can be no other candidate, lest the Democratic Party will utterly implode. She is the natural successor to Biden. Full stop! End of story! For better or worse!) Nonetheless, I suspect she’ll face the same headwinds as Hillary Clinton because one thing remains constant about this country: It is misogynistic, homophobic, and racist in that order, more or less. Perhaps this new enthusiasm breathed into the Democratic Party can help spur turnout and counter these otherwise hateful forces. Indeed, the TBD candidate will make or break the ticket and the Democrats’ chances of winning. Once Democrats pick their Vice Presidential candidate, I’ll have a better sense of the doom that faces America! No matter who she selects, it has to be a straight white man. That’s just a fact of life, morons. Dumbass Democrats calling for two women on the ticket really are just asking to lose. These f***tards need to STFU!

To be sure, traitor trump is now the only dotard in the race. Of course, I expect the MSM to ignore this new realization and focus on how Harris may be too young and inexperienced for the top job. I have a feeling that the so-called double-haters, who constantly lamented the elder age of both Biden and traitor trump, will suddenly find traitor trump’s age acceptable compared to a woman running at the top of the Democratic ticket. I have no f***ing doubt. We shall see. Stand by, please.

I have a couple of thoughts. The first one is about the debate and how dumbass Democrats are completely missing the intentions of having it in the first place and the consequences of Biden’s performance. The whole point of Democrats insisting on an early debate (before the conventions, which is unconventional) was to shake up the race. For months — indeed the last year or two — the polls showed a stalemate: Biden consistently behind or tied with traitor trump. The debate was supposed to energize the contest and convince those would-be voters who are not paying that much attention to the presidential campaign yet (which is something inexplicable to me, but that’s an extended rant for another time) that Biden is up to the task of serving another four years. It was literally the moment that Biden asked the public to “look at me.” Well, they did, and it was a disaster. It was the singular moment for Biden to be at the top of his game, and he totally f***ed it up. While dumbass Democrats rightly apprehended his performance to be abysmal, they merely dismiss it as a “bad day.” Un-f***ing-believable! How f***ing out of touch and high on hopium do these moronic Democrats have to be to whitewash this knowingly and highly consequential event as an anomaly which voters — who were invited to watch and judge Biden firsthand — should now simply ignore. The more I think about it, the more infuriated by dumbass Democrats I become. I swear to f***ing God, this party drives me f***ing nuts with their inability to correctly judge reality but also the willingness to dismiss their lying (apparently) eyes. It takes some real f***ing talent to be so willfully ignorant. But I expected nothing less.

This leads me to my second point: Biden’s debate performance clearly shook up the race, but not in the way that dumbass Democrats had hoped. Indeed, the debate had the opposite effect. Now, voters and the public at large have re-evaluated Biden and are left wanting. Clearly, people have formed new (maybe not that new, but certainly calcified existing) opinions of Biden. And an argument that I keep hearing from dumbass Democrats in favor of keeping Biden in the race is the 14 million voters who cast a ballot for him in the primary races. I constantly hear these voters from talk radio to text messages read on the Smerconich show (literally as I write this post) who are so f***ing indignant at the thought of replacing Biden. How dare they [the elites of the Democratic establishment] “invalidate” their vote! Ugh, kill me now! Honestly, 14 million (14,465,519 to be exact, of which I am one) votes are not that many. Allow me to put the number into perspective. First, Biden received 19,080,502 votes in the 2020 primary, and that was against at least eight other candidates. Bernie Sanders was the next highest vote-getter with 9,680,424. So, Biden, running relatively uncontested in the 2024 primary cycle as the current president, received approximately 4.5 million fewer votes. Um, wow! Not a great sign of strength there. Moreover, the total voting-age population as of 2022 is approximately 255,457,000. Biden basically captured 5.7 percent of the voting population — a pittance. Of all registered Democratic voters (45,089,716), Biden received 32.1 percent of support. It’s better than 5.7 percent, but still not an overwhelming mandate, to be sure. And that 14 million compared to Biden’s total votes in the 2020 general election (81,283,501) equates to 17.8 percent. Again a poor showing. What is the point of all these calculations? Those dumbass Democrats bellyaching that their votes for Biden are being “discounted” by talk of forcing him out of the race are insignificant. (Although, it is significant if even a small segment decides to stay on the couch come election day, which they are threatening to do, and, in so doing, it reinforces my original hypothesis: Americans really don’t care about keeping their democracy. They’d rather lose the election as long as they can express their [final] protest vote in service to defending Biden’s dignity and their own ego.) And that doesn’t even contemplate those Democrats who voted for Biden but are now expressing reservations about their choice (of which I am one despite my fait accompli predictions about the election). One poll indicates that as many as 65 percent of Democrats want Biden to abandon his re-election bid, making those who voted for Biden in the primary and who are upset by talk of removing Biden from the ticket even more inconsequential. But all of this is academic because nothing has changed my mind; the conclusion I had drawn years ago remains: Biden is merely the intermission to traitor trump returning to the White House to finish the job of destroying America’s democracy. Oh, well. Welcome to stupid America!

Actually, I have one final thought regarding Biden catching COVID. In short, WTF? It’s not that he caught the virus that stirs my ire; it can’t be helped, given his constant exposure to the general populace while out on the campaign trail. But what is aggravating is his “retreat” and “self-isolation” to recover. Ugh! Look, f***tards, we are so past the COVID pandemic, and the virus has done its worst. Yet, we still have dumbass Democrats treating this disease as if it’s the Black Death when, in fact, it is now no more lethal (per the CDC) than the common flu. Not to mention, we actually have effective post-infection treatments for COVID. I’m sure that, between herd immunity, vaccinations, and anti-viral medication, getting COVID nowadays is more of an inconvenience than anything else. Nonetheless, Biden is hold up at his personal residence convalescing. Yes, yes. I know. Given Binden’s age, COVID complications could be more severe. But contrary to the impressions of his “frailty” (stiff gait and movement as a result of arthritis and worn joints), he is an otherwise healthy 81-year-old. Now, I’m not saying he is not doing the work of the presidency while out of public sight, but what I am saying is he’s not doing the work of campaigning. His over-cautiousness once again evinces weakness and perhaps his old age while reinforcing the perceptions of his frailty. (And don’t get me started on the invariable juxtaposition of traitor trump “taking a bullet.” I’m sorry to point out the obvious — whether the comparison is apt or not [it’s not] — but only the optics matter, whereas reasoning and logic do not. How would you perceive traitor trump bouncing back from an assassination attempt compared to Biden retreating for fear of COVID?) When most people are contracting COVID and probably have no f***ing clue about it because the symptoms are being confused with a summer cold, allergies, or the like, or people are entirely asymptomatic for that’s what the virus has devolved into, Biden is perceived as hiding at worst or a pusillanimous at best. This disease did not go the way of the Spanish Flu, which burned hot and quickly for a couple of years, killing 50 million people worldwide. No! COVID has petered out, but dumbass Democrats continue to fear it as a great “contagion,” like the movie. In many respects, how dumbass Democrats continue to think of COVID today and how they react to it — still — mirrors precisely their political timidity: Scared of their own shadow (and cough). You don’t see them getting all apoplectic about the outcomes of the flu. Democrats are weak, so f***ing weak, and that is why they are losing and will lose no matter who sits at the top of the ticket.

According to CNN, “Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi privately told President Joe Biden in a recent conversation that polling shows that the president cannot defeat Donald Trump and that Biden could destroy Democrats’ chances of winning the House in November if he continues seeking a second term, according to four sources briefed on the call. The president responded by pushing back, telling Pelosi he has seen polls that indicate he can win, one source said. Another one of the sources described Biden as getting defensive about the polls. At one point, Pelosi asked Mike Donilon, Biden’s longtime adviser, to get on the line to talk over the data.”

I have been silent on this issue until now; I had not weighed in immediately after Biden’s debate debacle because, in my mind, his poor performance didn’t matter then and doesn’t matter now because Democrats were always destined to lose. At this point, dumbass Democrats are merely rearranging chairs on the Titanic, and the dumbest segment of the Democratic wing of the party (i.e., uber-progressives getting high on hourly hits hopium) is hell-bent on orchestrating the quintet until the last song in their set before drowning. I expected nothing less, for they have routinely discounted and ignored the polls to their detriment. I guess before I go any further, I must reiterate to my ones and ones of followers that I will vote blue no matter who, but what I’m witnessing now is precisely everything I’ve been predicting for years. Years! But whatever. No one is paying attention. (The only caveat I will other is if Biden drops out and Harris becomes the nominee, then the question becomes this: Does the change at the top of the ticket excite the base and those voters on the margins enough and long enough to outweigh America’s racism and misogyny? Democrats are d*mned if they do and d*mned if they don’t.)

Indeed, listening to the far-left, progressive wing of the Democratic Party has been insufferable at times, namely Stephanie Miller, Dean Obeidallah, Hall Sparks, The Rude Pundit, John Fugelsang, Bob Cesca, et al. The most aggravating argument from these idiots — post-debate disaster — is that Biden remains statically tied in the polls. Are you f***ing kidding me? Traitor trump is barreling toward an election win that will end America’s democracy as we know it, and dumbass Democrats — as usual — are cheerleading Biden being f***ing tied in the polls — at best. (And don’t get me started when third-party candidates are thrown into the mix, which everyone keeps ignoring.) This is right up there with Democrats claiming victory after losing the House by less than they thought in 2022! Un-f***ing-believable! I live in stupid f***ing hell! I can’t! I just f***ing can’t anymore! For all their smarts, these pundits fail to understand the domestic zeitgeist and, more worrisome, the anti-incumbency mood everywhere else in the world. But wait! Biden is tied in the polls! This election boils down to a pro-democracy candidate versus a pro-fascist candidate, and the polls are tied! Kill! Me! Now!

For years, Biden has failed to make the case to the American people for his reelection bid. How f***ing difficult is it to understand this? For the most part, he’s speaking to the choir (of Democrats who are the only ones listening) when he touts his accomplishments and policies, but the 45 percent of the electorate that entails Democrats and Democratic-leaning voters aren’t the ones he needs to convince; it’s the squishy 5-8 percent of genuine swing voters that he has not won over — still! I don’t understand how and why esteemed Democratic political pundits have yet to figure this out. Many have. Yet, those around Biden appear completely oblivious — but then again, I expected nothing less from this sh*t-for-brains Democratic Party. They seem determined to lose. Whatever! All this was predictable and predicted by me, from the return of traitor trump to the weakness of the Democratic Party to the whiplash decision-making of the American populace, who can’t ever row in the same direction for more than 4-8 years. Every presidential election is a reset whereby Americans are never content enough. So right on cue, they want to change the channel back to the traitor trump show because they’re bored and need excitement, but this time f***tards of America will lose their democracy at the same time because no one f***ing cares. Traitor trump has always understood this. He understands that voters and the American people, at large, are nothing more than primetime entertain-me creatures who can be fed a steady stream of bread-and-circus to distract them from his mismanagement of the country as he plays the Pied Piper leading the country right into fascism. Welcome to stupid America! Too stupid to keep its democracy. And the stupid cannot be undone, morons! I’ve warned you. Mark my words! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

From Yahoo!News, “Vice President Kamala Harris called Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, whom former President Trump chose as his running mate Monday, and congratulated him after the announcement. ‘Vice President Harris reached out to Senator Vance and left a message to congratulate him on his selection, welcome him to the race and express her hope that the two can meet in the vice presidential debate proposed by CBS News,’ a Biden campaign official told Fox News.” Ugh! Right on cue, dumbass Democrats are ready, willing, and able to make nice with the enemy. Un-f***ing-believable. Does Harris not realize that Vance would shiv her in the back in a heartbeat if he had the chance? F*** me! I swear to f***ing God, these dumbass Democrats are becoming more insufferable by the day. How is it, on the one hand, they claim traitor trump et al. are existential threats to America’s democracy — which they are — and then, on the other hand, treat them as just another worthy run-of-the-mill political opponent? It makes no f***ing sense. Either MAGA morons, RepubliKKKlans, evil evangelicals, and QAnon kooks are the enemy of democracy and, by extension, the people, or they are not. (Hint: They are!) Dumbass Democrats cannot treat them in the same manner as any other politician. Yet they do, thereby, in effect, normalizing them and condoning their hateful, autocratic beliefs and behaviors as just “a different point of view.” Sorry, f***tards, but there is no acceptable “different point of view” by fascists. Period! Full Stop! But whatever. I give up. It takes two parties to destroy our country: RepubliKKKlans in overdrive and feckless Democrats. Welcome to stupid America! The end is here. How many f***ing times must I say it before people start to believe me?

Oh, d*mn! I had hoped to predict Burgum correctly, but it looks like traitor trump went for Vance. But I was right about one thing: He would only pick a white man, never a minority or a woman. I didn’t think traitor trump would tolerate a younger min-me version of himself in the sidecar. Perhaps it is a younger half that traitor trump wanted, given his own age. Eh, nonetheless, his V.P. pick is entirely unimportant and immaterial to his victory anyway, as long as it’s a white guy because that’s what Americans who are about to put traitor trump back in the White House really care about.
