According to NBC News, “Former President Donald Trump embraced a Jan. 6 defendant at a diner during a campaign stop Thursday night, calling the woman, who served prison time for her actions during the Capitol attack and wants former Vice President Mike Pence executed for treason, ‘terrific.’… On Jan. 6, Larson-Olson climbed the scaffolding set up for Joe Biden’s inauguration and held on when police tried to remove her; she later bragged on social media and in an interview that it took six officers to remove her. Larson-Olson told NBC News that she ‘refused’ to leave the platform and has ‘absolutely no regrets’ about her actions that day. … Larson-Olson said she believes that the members of Congress who voted to certify Biden’s presidential election should be executed. … Larson-Olson was introduced to Trump as a ‘Jan. 6er,’ and he signed the backpack that she said she was carrying with her that day and waived her past security so he could embrace her. ‘Listen, you just hang in there,’ Trump said, calling her a ‘terrific woman’ and kissing her on the cheek. Trump said it was ‘so bad’ what has been done to Jan. 6 ‘patriots.’… Larson-Olson said that she got out of prison last month after serving more than 160 days and that she was often placed in more restrictive confinement because of her refusal to comply with Covid protocols. She said she’d do it all over again because she believes that Trump is the true president.”

This is what a dying country looks like. I mean, there is not much more on which to comment. Apparently, nothing deters these morons. Not convictions, not jail time, not public pressure. Indeed, dare I say, public support is the bigger problem. I have no doubt that no less than 40 percent of the population supports what she believes, and another 10 percent are stunningly indifferent, which gets you to the margin of the electorate that engenders a traitor trump presidency part two. I don’t know how many times I have to keep repeating myself, but this “national fever” of traitor trump, MAGA morons, and QAnon kookery is not breaking. In fact, it is getting worse, and Americans are completely oblivious to this cancer consuming the nation. But whatever! You’ve been warned. The only remedy is another civil war, for there is no other way out. Mark my words, f***tards. Welcome to stupid America!

Let’s just cut right to the chase! Shall we? The 2024 presidential election will be a re-match of Biden vs. traitor trump. So, the question is — given everything we know and have experienced — are Americans smart enough to avoid another traitor trump presidency? My short answer: Probably not. Allow me to explain.

There have been several polls — recent and old — that either have Biden behind or tied with a head-to-head traitor trump match-up. Any such poll result in which this is the case is completely incomprehensible, but then again, I must remind myself that I live in stupid America. Given everything surrounding traitor trump, people are still telling pollsters, sure, why not another chance? This is why I have absolutely no faith in American voters to get their voting consistently correct. Oh, sure, they elected Biden once, but a second time is far from guaranteed — again, incomprehensibly. Even if you believe the next election is a choice between two bad choices, people, according to the polls, seem willing to select the worse option — again! But I’m here to tell you the situation, even at this point, is more dire than what these polls are indicating.

You must forget everything you hear from those professional idiot political pundits on the MSM. Forget all their B.S., for the election will come down to roughly 40,000 – 80,000 people, if that, in various states. So, forget about the die-hard Democratic and RepubliKKKlan voters. They are never going to change their votes. And forget about left-leaning and right-leaning Independents, who will vote as predicted. Instead, worry about those truly politically ambivalent voters who are so squishy in their “thinking” that they probably don’t know who they’re voting for until they actually check the box. Even then, they are surprised about what their hand selected. These are the dangerous voters on the margins that are guided not by principle but likely by their pocketbook and not much else.

I would like to remind the reader about the margins of the last two presidential races. It’s essential to have a clear understanding of the numbers when considering the outcome and impact of these elections. Clinton may have lost despite besting traitor trump in the popular vote by nearly 3 million, but he won by a scant 77,744 well-placed votes. As the Washington Examiner summarizes, “Donald Trump owes his victory in the Electoral College to three states he won by the smallest number of votes: Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan. So it’s fair to say that the 2016 presidential election was decided by about 77,000 votes out of [more] than 136 million ballots cast. According to the final tallies, Trump won Pennsylvania by 0.7 percentage points (44,292 votes), Wisconsin by 0.7 points (22,748 votes), Michigan by 0.2 points (10,704 votes).”

Then we come to the Biden and traitor trump match-up. What were those margins? Anyone? Anyone at all? More votes? Fewer votes? From NPR, “In fact, in this election, Biden won the national popular vote by some 6 million votes so far, more than double Hillary Clinton’s margin over Trump four years ago. But just 44,000 votes in Georgia, Arizona and Wisconsin separated Biden and Trump from a tie in the Electoral College.” I’m not a mathematician, but I’m pretty sure 44,000 is much less than 77,000. So, this next race will come down to the number of votes roughly the size of a small city, no matter what the polls say. For a fatal flaw in our electoral system is that it does not rely on the popular vote — at all. So, if you get enough angry traitor trump voters showing up to the polls coupled with enough apathetic would-be or past Biden voters who decide to “protest” by staying home like a toddler throwing a tantrum, then bam! You have traitor trump as the 47th president. Don’t think it can’t happen. I would expect nothing less from a moronic America!

I watched Biden’s campaign announcement video. It was good and appropriately hit all the correct, familiar notes that got him elected in the first place. Although, I will say there was one missing, familiar topic that Democrats never seem to be able to hammer home, and that is SCOTUS. I don’t know how, when, where, or if dumbass Democrats will ever f***ing learn to make SCOTUS one of the central motivating factors in every f***ing election, from the presidency to the G.D. dog catcher. Granted, there are no imminent openings on the High Court that would shift the balance of power, but Thomas is old enough that during Biden’s current or next term, he could drop dead ala Scalia and needs to be replaced, which would be a terrific opportunity to substitute the most conservative justice with a raging liberal Biden appointee. One would think Democrats should make this argument a primary reason to vote Democratic. Of course, one would think! But this is the dumbass Democratic Party we’re talking about, so I expect nothing less than Democrats to kind of ignore the Court just like they have for the last 40 years. If they really want to emphasize saving America’s democracy, then Democrats should be laser-focused on SCOTUS and federal judges because they all seem to be the one branch of government completely immune from checks and balances. And, in particular, SCOTUS demonstrates they are literally above the law. Fan-f***ing-tastic!

Then we have Biden’s age. I will be the first to admit I think Biden is too old for just about anything, but it will never stop me from voting for him because his age certainly has not impeded his acumen and ability to do the job. Sure, compared to traitor trump Biden acts old and stiff, but unlike traitor trump, Biden is not a f***ing G.D. moron. Although, I will say the only aspect of his age that does stir my ire is that he’s been around long enough to remember when Democrats and RepubliKKKlans actually worked together. His age is detrimental in this way: It evinces he’s from a bygone era of bipartisanship governing. It’s that quaint memory of yesteryear comradery that no longer exists and to which Biden still clings that frustrates me. I’d prefer a younger and more rough-and-tumble leader, but we have Biden for now, and at least I know he won’t intentionally destroy the country, even though, at times, I feel his timidity might lead us to that. Now if only Progressives and Independents could get over is age. That is the real and terrifying question. Welcome to stupid America!

Tucker Carlson has been canceled from Fox News. This is big news but utterly inconsequential. It’s about as devastating for Fox News as Bill O’Reilly’s departure, which broke the cable news station. Oh, what. That actually did not happen. In fact, Carlson took over O’Reilly’s spot only to become more radical and crazy. Do not think for a second that more bat-sh*t bonker replacements aren’t waiting in the wings to become the next Carlson. And don’t think for a second that Fox News is moderating or starting to see the error of their ways. That’s not f***ing happening — ever! If anything, this is business as usual and full steam ahead. Fox News is bigger than any one host, no matter how huge his or her ratings. They survived O’Reilly without skipping a beat, and they’ll survive Carlson too. As for his “loyal” fan base, they’re not going anywhere. Fox News will find the next red meat carnival barker to feed the stupidity and bigotry of their audience. Maybe someone like Jesse Watters, who will be cheaper. And Carlson will go nowhere. Didn’t people speculate O’Reilly would take his entire following to some rival chancel with him? How did that work out? The same will not happen with Carlson. Poor guy. He’ll be relegated to podcasts and a YouTube channel only now — OAN and Newsmax can’t afford him. I’ve seen this movie before. The end is always the same, and the rage and stupidity continue. Welcome to stupid America. Next!

The applications for stays presented to J USTICE ALITO and by him referred to the Court are granted. The April 7, 2023 order of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, case No. 2:22–cv–223, is stayed pending disposition of the appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit and disposition of a petition for a writ of certiorari, if such a writ is timely sought. Should certiorari be denied, this stay shall terminate automatically. In the event certiorari is granted, the stay shall terminate upon the sending down of the judgment of this Court.

Supreme Court of the United Sates of America

I am always more than willing to admit when I am wrong, and here is one such instance, in part. So, it would seem that SCOTUS granted a stay on the lower courts’ orders from taking effect until the case (FDA v. Hippocratic Medicine) makes its way through the appellate system. Of course, all of this is only temporary. This case will undoubtedly come before the Court again in October, in which case the justices will take up the matter on its actual merits. Note that this is an administrative stay — basically a procedural hold while the questions of law are argued. This stay by SCOTUS makes absolutely no verdict on the worthiness of the parties’ arguments. In short, SCOTUS has made no judgment about what they truly believe about the case. However, Thomas and Alito tipped their hand on all abortion rights before this case landed on their plate, and a few others also have but were not willing to say so via this stay order as the two aforementioned did.

As always, with any unexpected move by SCOTUS, I ask, What’s their endgame? I don’t trust anything the six uber-conservative justices do that contradicts their usual mode of taking away people’s rights. Some alternative motive is going on here; I can only speculate, so I will. First, as I mentioned above, the stay says nothing about what the justices actually think about the merits of the case, and I am skeptical of legal pundits who think SCOTUS is signaling to the lower courts that they have no “appetite” for more abortion drama. If that were the situation, the justices could have thrown out the case on the blatant lack of standing, which is the only point of contention legal pundits can agree on. But no! They didn’t, so they welcome this fight to some extent. Second, I think SCOTUS is simply trying to avoid adding more to the heat RepubliKKKlans are facing. Conservative justices are embroiled in corruption and controversy (e.g., Thomas), so they don’t need to pile on by rolling back more women’s rights. Plus, they have time! They have copious amounts of time. They have decades of time as this Court will have an uber-conservative supermajority for the next ten years at least. They’ve got the long game in mind to dismantle our rights and enshrine Christo-fascist laws. Thus, I have no doubt this will be the drip, drip pattern of reversing access to the abortion pill just as they did with Roe and Casey while lulling idiot Americans into a false sense of “nothing to see here” as they slowly roll us back to the 19th Century. Also, recall in a previous post I stated that FDA v. Hippocratic Medicine is a two-for case. It is a chance for the Court to roll back more abortion rights and weaken and dismantle the administrative state, the last pillar of the legal doctrine they hope to shred. Welcome to stupid America!

According to CNN, “The Texas Senate passed a bill Thursday requiring each public school classroom to display a copy of the Ten Commandments, a move that drew backlash from civil liberty advocates who say lawmakers should not dictate what religious materials students are exposed to. The legislation, which passed the state Senate on a 17-12 vote, will now head to the state’s House of Representatives. Senate Bill 1515, authored by state Sen. Phil King, a Republican, requires the Ten Commandments to be displayed in a ‘conspicuous place’ in each classroom in a ‘size and typeface that is legible to a person with average vision from anywhere in the classroom.’ King has previously said the bill will help restore religious liberties ‘that were lost’ and it ‘reminds students all across Texas of the importance of a fundamental foundation” of America.’… Also Thursday, the Senate passed another bill relating to religion, one which would require schools to allow time for students and employees to pray and read the Bible on each school day. Senate Bill 1396 also passed with a 17-12 vote.”

Look, f***tards! This is the America that people elected whether they like it or not. One can rightfully argue that forcing one’s religion on others is nothing new; it is an age-old battle in humanity and in America, especially. Everything being done in the country and states by RepubliKKKlans must be considered with “What would SCOTUS do?” in mind, for it is the only endgame that matters, and now the theocratic Court will begin enshrining Christo-fascism into states’ laws because they can. I’ve been saying this forever: Religion is winning, and people are utterly oblivious to it. Why do you think there is some much killing and hate in America? It’s not because irreligious or agnostic believers are taking it out on others. No! It’s religious people — mostly Christians and pseudo-Christian white supremacists with a sprinkle of Muslims — who are “spreading” and “proselytizing” — aka forcing and beguiling — their religion of hate (see “He gets us“) on others. Christians are more than willing to simply kill those “others” (Jews, gays, Blacks, etc.) because others don’t believe as they do. These Texas bills will create and institutionalize more loathing by “Christians” in the name of Christo-fascism. The end is coming, morons. But people are too stupid to see it coming. Welcome to stupid America! Oh, well. The only way through is by civil war. You’ve been warned.

CNN reports, “A Russian warplane dropped a bomb on a Russian city of more than 400,000 people late Thursday, leaving a crater 40 meters (130 feet) across, blowing a car onto a roof and damaging buildings in what state media called an ‘emergency release of an air ordnance.’ A Russian Su-34 aircraft, a twin-engine fighter-bomber, released the munition over the city of Belgorod, 40 kilometers (24.8 miles) north of the border with Ukraine, according to reports from state news agencies RIA Novosti and TASS.” Russia is filled with a bunch of morons, and don’t believe the “emergency release” B.S. line. They f***ed up because the entire Russian military is incompetent. Too bad they didn’t kill their own.

From The Hill, “Access to a common abortion pill mifepristone will remain unchanged through at least Friday after the Supreme Court extended its brief pause until the end of the workweek. Justice Samuel Alito, who handles emergency requests from the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, announced the move in a brief order, extending the administrative pause until Friday at 11:59 p.m. ET. The order doesn’t give any indication for how the high court will proceed; it effectively gives the justices a few more days to decide whether they will pause a ruling that would roll back access to the drug.”

Look, f***tards! Read the writing on the wall! You don’t need extra time to enjoin a lower court’s order to preserve the status quo while this case percolates through the system. Clearly, that’s not happening here. My guess is that the high court has the votes to enforce the ban on mifepristone, and now they’re just trying to manipulate the legal reasoning to fit their desired ends. Remember, this is the same court that allowed the Texas abortion bounty law to remain in effect while they pondered how confusing the wording of that law was to them. The justices do not prefer the status quo; they want to f*** everything up because they can. Mark my words, morons! Welcome to stupid America!

Yes, you read that correctly, and I am not confused. Fox got away with endorsing, promoting, and perpetuating — to this day — the Big Lie with a nominal business cost of $787.5 million. Let’s put this settlement into perspective, shall we? According to FactSet, Fox Corporation’s revenue in 2022 was $14.285 billion. Their EBITDA for the same year was $3.187 billion. And they have $5.200 billion of cash and cash equivalents on hand as of December 2022, with total current assets of $8.281 billion. Needless to say, the company is flush with cash or assets that can be converted to cash relatively easily. The company was never in danger of being unable to pay; the only threat was exposing its reputation as America’s number one propaganda outlet. That is an asset they could not risk tarnishing. Hence, the settlement at the discounted rate of more than 50 percent of Dominion’s original asking.

Moreover, there is no evidence or suggestion that Fox News needs to admit wrongdoing as part of the settlement, which seems awfully strange because I would think Dominion, at the very least in addition to the cash payout, demand that Fox News publicly, specifically, and repeatedly clear Dominion’s name rather than the pathetic statement the defendants put out:

We are pleased to have reached a settlement of our dispute with Dominion Voting Systems. We acknowledge the Court’s rulings finding certain claims about Dominion to be false. This settlement reflects FOX’s continued commitment to the highest journalistic standards. We are hopeful that our decision to resolve this dispute with Dominion amicably, instead of the acrimony of a divisive trial, allows the country to move forward from these issues.

Fox News Statement

Are you f***inf kidding me?!?! “We acknowledge the Court’s rulings finding certain claims about Dominion to be false.” I heard an MSM pundit call their statement as being weak tea as being an overstatement. Truly! It’s akin to a non-apology apology.

Also, I keep hearing moronic political pundits and journalists proclaim the significance of this settlement, which they claim is enormous and cannot be overlooked. Sure, it’s the largest settlement of its kind, but compared to the damage done — and continues to be done — to America by the Fox News propaganda channel it is a drop in the bucket! To be sure, this settlement is nothing more than an unexpected and extraordinary business expense, which will be covered in part by insurance. I also hear idiot pundits claim that this settlement, by the sheer nature of its size, will change Fox News or cause them to think twice about disseminating false information. That is, of course, all f***ing B.S. of the highest f***ing order. Nothing will change because the so-called accountability engendered by the settlement is incomplete, no matter what Dominion claims.

I will concede it was never Dominion’s responsibility to bear the yoke of exposing Fox News’ harm to our democracy by their lies, even though we expected (desired) them to do so. Nonetheless, to a not insignificant degree, Dominion tried to take on that public responsibility and failed us in the end. They tried to have their cake and eat it too. (Witness Dominion’s comments about the settlement.) Ultimately, settling was a business decision, not a decision to protect America’s democracy by exposing Fox News in a court of law and requiring a verdict. (Expecting capitalism to save democracy is a whole other topic.) So, in the final assessment, Fox News will continue to do what it has always done, but without naming names, and their viewership will be none the wiser, as if that was ever really a possibility. Welcome to stupid America. This was a win for Fox News and another nail in the coffin for America! Oh, well!

According to The Hill, “Republicans on Monday put up a blockade against the Democratic push to temporarily replace Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) on the Senate Judiciary Committee, saying there is no chance they’ll take a step that will effectively allow President Biden’s most partisan judicial nominations to advance. GOP senators of all stripes lined up in opposition Monday as they returned to the Capitol from a two-week recess partially headlined by questions about when Feinstein would be back. The six-term senator has been absent since late February due to a case of shingles, leaving the Judiciary panel deadlocked 10-10 and unable to pass partisan nominees along for floor votes. … Schumer said he plans to bring up a resolution to replace her via unanimous consent this week. If that fails, as is expected, Democrats would need 60 votes to break a filibuster and make the change.” Really?!?! Who didn’t see this coming? Oh, I know who! Dumbass Democrats!

There is a difference between calling for a vote that embarrasses RepubliKKKlans and a vote that embarrasses dumbass Democrats, and what moron Schumer is doing evinces the latter. By his mere calling for a vote that is clearly going to fail, Schumer only demonstrates that he — once again — does not understand the enemy. Un-f***ing-believable! Every f***ing time. It never fails. He will demonstrate to everyone that Democrats are still playing by the old rules and are more than willing to get rolled by RepubliKKKlans as if he can shame the enemy party. I can hear idiot Schumer now in a floor speech exclaiming “for shame!” on RepubliKKKlans for playing political hardball better than Democrats. Schumer is a joke, and I’ve never cared for his timidity. God! I am so f***ing sick of the old Democratic guard being so f***ing G.D. pathetic! And if I have to hear one more f***ing Democrat use the word “hope” to describe what RepubliKKKlans should do, then I am going to lose my f***ing G.D. mind!

And they wonder why dumbass Democrats keep losing support among their electorate because we are sick of them bringing a knife to a gunfight. They will never learn. What they need to do is drag Feinstein back to D.C. since she refuses to quit. I don’t care if they need to set up hospice care in her office and roll her out on a hospital bed to cast a vote. That’s what they need to do, but whatever. Dumbass Democrats can’t think out of the box. They are so tied to history and tradition — in the same way SCOTUS is using those excuses to roll back our rights — they are willing to usher in the demise of our democracy. I have said countless times that Democrats are just as complicit in destroying America’s democracy as RepubliKKKlans because they are unwilling to fight and do the dirty politics required to save our county. I give up! Welcome to stupid America. It takes two to tango, and RepubliKKKlans are leading the way while Democrats meekly follow. The end is coming, people! Mark my words!
