As the Daily Mail reports, “‘Leader Jeffries there will be times we agree. And many times we will differ. I promise our debates will be passionate but they will never be personal,’ McCarthy said. ‘Now, the hard work begins. We’re going to pass bills to fix the nation’s challenges from wide open southern borders,  to American last energy policies to woke indoctrination in our schools,’ he added. ‘We will use the power of the purse and the power of the subpoena to get the job done.’ The new Speaker added: ‘We will also address America’s long-term challenges: the debt and the Chinese Communist Party. Congress must speak with one voice on both of these issues.’”

So! McCarthy is now Speaker of the House, and the destruction of America may now officially begin because this is what people voted for. Let’s read between the lines of his speech. To be clear, his version of accountability and balance is to deny Democrats everything and force RepubliKKKlans’ hellscape vision of government upon us all. The RepubliKKKlan Party will hold America hostage using the budget and the debt ceiling as bargaining chips (grenades). How many fucking times do I have to remind you, people? RepubliKKKlans do not want to govern; they never have. They want to create chaos and destruction and blame it on the Democrats. And guess what? Fucktard voters will believe them just because they usually do, just like voters believe that a divided government is needed to reign in all the progress the Biden Administration has been accomplishing. But whatever! Never mind the proper — although not perfect — functioning of the government under unified Democratic leadership. That will be replaced with recalcitrance and dysfunction. Mark my words! Just wait for the first government shutdown. Just wait for the nation’s first credit default. Mark my words, fucktards. Mark them well. You ain’t seen nothing yet! Welcome to stupid America!

According to The Hill, “A federal appeals court on Friday struck down a Trump-era rule that banned certain types of ‘bump stocks,’ which can be added to semi-automatic weapons to increase their firing rate. The 2018 rule from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) was instituted in the wake of the October 2017 shooting in Las Vegas. The gunman used weapons equipped with bump stocks to kill 58 people and injure at least 850 more. It remains the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history. … At the center of the lawsuit is the specific language of a federal ban on machine guns, particularly its definition of a machine gun as a weapon that fires more than one shot ‘automatically’ with a ‘single function of the trigger.’”

Apparently, this ruling is concerned with the “technical” language of the law, and to that I call fucking bullshit! This is simply one more opportunity for an uber-conservative, nut job federal court to allow all manner of weapons of mass death and destruction, all in the name of the supreme First Amendment — oops, I mean the Second Amendment. The technicality of the language is just a ruse for these judges’ utter commitment to making sure anyone can own any type of gun without regard to the community’s safety. It is always telling that other courts seem to have no problem with the bump stock ban, yet this activist court could not wait to strike it down. So, they will rehear the case, and as usual with the 5th Circuit Court, it will reaffirm its ruling with intentionally more legally dubious reasoning, whereby the case will be appealed to SCOTUS. No shock about how that will end! Leave it to SCOTUS to strike down all restrictions on bump stocks, and then we will be right back to where we were. Of course, no one cares! This whole fucking worthless country does not care, for we keep re-electing RepubliKKKlans who want the carnage. It’s what people want. I will keep saying it until I am blue in the face: People get the government they deserve and desire. Apparently, that includes more guns and more gun deaths! Oh, well. Welcome to stupid America! I give up!

A U.S. debt default could wipe out 6 million jobs and $15 trillion in wealth, Moody’s says. As CBS News reports, “In real terms, the nation would soon return to high unemployment rates, approaching 9% compared with its current rate of 5.2%. Also, come November 1 checks for millions of Social Security recipients would be delayed, Zandi noted. And stock prices would likely plunge by one-third, sparking that $15 trillion loss in household wealth. Meantime, mortgage rates and other interest rates for things like credit cards and auto loans would spike.  Pensions for veterans would lapse, and benefits for millions of Americans receiving food assistance would be halted. The carnage could also freeze daily corporate cash flows and bond and credit markets. … ‘A bedrock of the U.S. economy and global financial system is that the U.S. government pays what it owes in a timely way,’ he wrote in the research note. If the government defaults, ‘The U.S. and global economies, which still have a long way to go to recover from the recession caused by the pandemic, will descend back into recession.’”

Given the inability of the RepubliKKKlan Party to pick their own leader, what makes you think they will be able to govern through much more challenging times, like raising the debt limit and passing a budget? Mark my words, fucktards. America is about blow up from within. But whatever. This is what people voted for. Oh, well. Welcome to stupid America! Too stupid to survive!

From Rolling Stone, “McCarthy’s new batch of failed attempts comes hours after former President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to publicly rally Republicans behind him, imploring them to ‘NOT TURN A GREAT TRIUMPH INTO A GIANT & EMBARRASSING DEFEAT,’ referring to the 2022 midterms, in which Republicans secured control of the House but drastically underperformed expectations. Trump’s call had zero effect.”

It’s day two of a dysfunctional RepubliKKKlan House, and this is exactly what Americans wanted if they’re paying attention, that is, which I doubt. They ignored the persons they voted for to begin with, so there is no reason to assume they understand or care about the gridlock in the House as a result of the party they elected to office. This is what a dying country looks like, fucktards! Do these idiot voters realize that one branch of the federal government is not working, and no one knows when it will? I am sure there are plenty of fucktards who believe this to be a good set of circumstances, for if they can’t function, then they can’t raise “my” taxes. Never mind the running of the government otherwise.

I am zig-zagging back to my pre-midterm election pessimism about America. The unfolding events in the House shed new light on my thinking: In the midterm elections, Americans saved the country from ending immediately, but they did not prevent it from eventually succumbing to a right-wing takeover of the country, which will ultimately result in America’s demise. It should not be lost on Americans that it has been 100 years since the House could not elect a Speaker of the House on the first day of a new Congress, and it should also not be lost on voters that before 1923 it was just before the Civil War that the House failed to elect its leader also in 1859. (For those idiot Americans out there, the Civil War started in April of 1861.) Am I suggesting that the current failure to elect a Speaker is a prelude to the next civil war? Who knows? Maybe! There is one thing for sure: The nutjob wing of the RepubliKKKlan Party is ascending — and has been gaining power and popularity across the country for over a decade. What do you think happens once the crazies finally get the Speaker they want? Their idea of managing the federal government is not to govern at all. They want to burn the country down. How many times do I have to keep telling you fucktards? They don’t want a well-functioning federal government. They prove that in every instance. Moreover, traitor trump has lost all control and influence over this party’s radical wing, so now the MAGA morons, evil evangelicals, and QAnon kooks are running wild and encouraged to reap havoc. But whatever! This is what people voted for; this is what people wanted. As I have said countless times, people get the government they deserve and desire. Welcome to stupid America. Looks like the end is coming, after all.

According to The Daily Beast, “Rep. Anna Paulina Luna came to Congress on her first day in office ready to do battle—not just with Democrats, but also with her own party, as she became one of the 20 Republicans to vote against electing Kevin McCarthy speaker. But back home in her conservative Florida district, Luna is waging a very different kind of war: a legal fight with political enemies who say she is a literal witch. … Another failed California Republican congressional hopeful, Omar Navarro, suggested the unsubstantiated rumors must be accurate because so many people were repeating them. “It has got to be true to a certain extent,” he told The Daily Beast. ‘It’s fair enough to say that it’s spread among people in the Republican Party.’” Remember the other RepubliKKKlan witch, Christine O’Donnell? Here 2010 campaign failed even after declaring, “I’m not a witch.” It seems the RepubliKKKlan Party has a witch problem, but Democrats are the devil. Of course! Yet, people keep voting for these RepubliKKKlans, evil evangelicals, MAGA morons, QAnon kooks, and, now, witches. Fan-fucking-tastic! I expected nothing less! Welcome to stupid America! We elect covens to office here!

Although this announcement has since been removed from his website, issuing the press release in the first place shows the utter incompetence of George Santos. Either he thought he would get away with another lie in real-time, knowing he’s under the microscope, or Santos and his administration have no fucking clue how the House works. Everyone — I mean everyone — after McCarthy failed the first leadership vote understood no Speaker of the House was going to be elected that day and, therefore, no one could be sworn into office. Everyone apprehended this except, apparently, Santos or the people running his office. This is just more evidence of RepubliKKKlan’s incompetence. They have no fucking clue. They don’t want to get a clue. They don’t care. The only mission of the RepubliKKKlan Party is to elect morons to office and burn down the government. Witness: George Santos. Yet, people keep voting for this shit. I give up! Welcome to stupid America!

Hakeem Jeffries held a press conference after the House adjourned, following RepubliKKKlans’ failure to elect a Speaker of the House. He said to reporters and all those watching in response to the day’s events, “We’re looking for a willing partner to solve problems for the American people, not save the Republicans from their dysfunction. We need a partner in governance to build upon the incredible progress that we made for the American people over the last few years by the way with a similar majority. … The Republican dysfunction is what it is, chaos, crisis, and confusion along with craziness. That’s sad for the American people.”

See, this is why I already like him more than Pelosi. Don’t get me wrong; Pelosi was a fierce fighter, tough as nails, and had a pair of brass balls bigger than any opponent, but she was still rather PC when it came to RepubliKKKlans. Jeffries calling the RepubliKKKlan Party “chaos, crisis, and confusion along with craziness” right out of the gate as the newly elected leader is exactly the not-PC I want to see 9-more of from Democrats. If there is one thing Democratic leadership has failed to do, then it is to call a spade a spade more forcefully and constantly. Leadership needs to call out the RepubliKKKlan Party plainly and at every chance they can. They need to hammer it home: RepubliKKKlans are the party of people who can’t govern, don’t want to govern, and intend to burn everything down.

Bingo! The New York Times, “Despite Mr. McCarthy’s prominent role in fund-raising and delivering the House to Republicans and his backing among most in the party ranks, about 20 Republicans refused to support him and for the first time in a century forced repeated rounds of voting for the speakership. … The paralysis underscored the dilemma facing House Republicans: No matter the concessions made to some of those on the far right, they simply will not relent and join their colleagues even if it is for the greater good of their party, and perhaps the nation. They consider themselves conservative purists who cannot be placated unless all their demands are met — and maybe not even then. Their agenda is mostly to defund, disrupt and dismantle government, not to participate in it.”

So, how will RepubliKKKlans govern and manage the House if they can’t get their shit together? They aren’t! They want to burn the fucking country down. They are going to hold the budget hostage, which means there will be government shutdowns. They’ll fail to raise the debt ceiling, which means America will default on its debt. All of this weakens and hurts America, and this will be precisely what people voted for because they are too fucking stupid to safeguard their own democracy. They elected the QAnon kooks and crazies to govern, and they will soon rue the consequences. Oh, well. Welcome to stupid America! We are definitely dumber today than yesterday; it’s the American way. I fucking can’t. I just can’t!

According to LGBTQ Nation, “An influential Israeli rabbi with ties to his country’s incoming conservative lawmakers has made homophobic comments about Amir Ohana, the first out LGBTQ+ speaker ever to serve in the country’s parliament, the Knesset. Last Saturday, Rabbi Meir Mazuz — a Haredi rabbi at the Kisse Rahamim Yeshiva, an orthodox seminary — told students attending an online lecture that Ohana was ‘infected with a disease’ and that his sexual orientation was responsible for a 2021 crowd crush that killed 45 people, The Times of Israel reported.”

Eh, it’s just time to start killing these people. I have no problem with that. I’m tired of trying to understand and get along with people who want us dead, so I say kill them first. And with Nazis taking over the Israeli government, it’s not going to get any better for the LGBTQ community there. Strike first, fast, and hard!

I believe The New York Times sums up the status of the situation well, “Only hours before the vote, Representative Kevin McCarthy of California was still laboring on Tuesday to lock down the support he needed to be elected speaker, with ultraconservative holdouts showing no signs of backing down from what could become a chaotic floor fight at the dawn of the new House Republican majority. The standoff hung over what was supposed to be a day of jubilation for Republicans, exposing deep divisions within the party as it embarks on its first week in power. It all but guaranteed that even if Mr. McCarthy eked out a victory, he would be a diminished speaker beholden to an empowered right flank.”

We are just hours away from the beginning of RepubliKKKlan chaos in the House being on full display to the whole world. Just remember, this is what morons of America voted for because I live in stupid hell. Ya know, I was persuaded immediately after the midterm elections that democracy had held, that Americans had come to their senses at the last minute, and that the worst may actually be behind us. Boy, was I wrong! Not sure why I keep failing to stick to my gut, but I should have, for I should have known that given voters’ choice to continue with the successes of the Biden administration or fuck it all up, morons of America would take the first chance to destroy America’s progress. So, I’m back to blaming stupid fucking Americans who are just too fucking stupid to be trusted with preserving democracy.

And it’s not like this situation with McCarthy is entirely unknown. Just ask Speakers Boehner and Ryan. Boehner was forced out by the same uber-right-wing crazies preventing McCarthy from ascending. As Boehner says in his memoir, “Under the new rules of Crazytown, I may have been Speaker, but I didn’t hold all the power. By 2013 the chaos caucus in the House had built up their own power base thanks to fawning right-wing media and outrage-driven fundraising cash.” And this is the same faction that drove Ryan to quit because he was tired of the same chaos coalition getting in the way of everything, even conservative initiatives. As of today, absolutely nothing has changed for the better; it’s only become worse. There are now more RepubliKKKlan members committed to burning everything down.

But this is what Americans want. This is the result of their votes. And I am getting really fucking sick of voters looking at this mess in the House and shaking their heads, wondering why can’t they get their act together? Jesus-fucking-Christ, you stupid, stupid people of America. You put these idiots in office. What the fuck did you think was going to happen? You should have known this was going to be the consequence: QAnon kooks and the crazy caucus come to power and basically blow everything up. RepubliKKKlans don’t know how to govern; they don’t want to govern. All they want is to block everything, stymie progress, and pull America back 100 years. But whatever! I live in stupid fucking hell. This is trump stupid America, and people deserve it! And another thing, don’t expect dumbass Democrats to capitalize on this RepubliKKKlan dysfunction because they can’t — won’t. It is not enough for Democrats to assume idiots of America will rightly understand the contrast between Democrats’ ability to govern and RepubliKKKlans’ desire to destroy everything, for they won’t. Democrats need to twist the fucking knife — not really in Democrat’s character. Oh, well. Welcome to stupid America!
