According to Reuters, “Russian President Vladimir Putin tapped a civilian economist as his surprise new defence minister on Sunday in an attempt to gird Russia for economic war by trying to better utilise the defence budget and harness greater innovation to win in Ukraine. More than two years into the conflict, which has cost both sides heavy casualties, Putin proposed Andrei Belousov, a 65-year-old former deputy prime minister who specialises in economics, to replace his long-term ally, Sergei Shoigu, 68, as defence minister. Putin wants Shoigu, in charge of defence since 2012 and a long-standing friend and ally, to become the secretary of Russia’s powerful Security Council, replacing incumbent Nikolai Patrushev, and to also have responsibilities for the military-industrial complex, the Kremlin said. … That, said Peskov, meant it was vital to ensure such spending aligned with and was better integrated into the country’s overall economy, which was why Putin now wanted a civilian economist in the defence ministry job.”
So, this is just more proof that Putin is transforming Russia into a wartime machine, and what are Western allies doing? Nothing! Not a d*mn f***ing thing. It’s business as usual for NATO et al. Oh, sure, I’ve gleaned a few articles here and there about some private companies in European countries willing to help Ukraine build up their domestic military-industrial complex — eventually. And I’ve read a couple of headlines here and there about some European countries contemplating ramping up armament production — eventually. But I’ve read nothing about NATO et al. taking this conflict seriously enough to mobilize Western economies to counter the threat of Russian aggression. It’s literally all quiet on the Western front. Whatever! I can’t anymore with the stupidity. No one cares. I hear a lot of European countries worry about Russia moving beyond Ukraine’s borders, but like in World War II and with Hitler, these nations really don’t want to do anything about it. By the time the West wakes up, it will be too little, too late. Welcome to stupid America! This is why democracy is retreating across the globe!
According to CNN, “School board members in Virginia’s Shenandoah County voted early Friday to restore the names of two schools that previously honored Confederate leaders – four years after those names had been removed. The 5-1 vote came after hours of public comment during a meeting that began Thursday evening from people speaking on both sides of the issue. Vice Chairman Kyle L. Gutshall was the sole opposing vote. ‘I ask that when you cast your vote, you remember that Stonewall Jackson and others fighting on the side of the Confederacy in this area were intent on protecting the land, the buildings and the lives of those under attack,’ said a woman urging the board to restore the Confederate names. ‘Preservation is the focus of those wishing to restore the names.’”
Look here, f***tards! This is more proof that conservatism is regaining control. The tide is officially turning on liberal democracy at home (and abroad). What’s in a name, one may ask? Everything! It is no coincidence that in a “purple” state like Virginia — which really is more red than not — admiration of the Confederacy and everything for which it stands is making a comeback. Mark my words, morons. The end of our democracy is coming. The signs are all there: Creeping restoration of the Lost Cause, an electorate that can’t tell the difference between a criminal traitor trump running for president and Joe Biden, who wants to preserve our way of life, growing hatred of the “other,” you name it. All the signs are in front of our collective face, but Americans are too f***ing G.D. stupid to apprehend the danger. Oh, well. I give up! Welcome to stupid America!
Well! These pro-terrorist protests across the country’s universities continue to evince the end of America’s democracy. When dumbass Democrats look hapless in the face of college students who engage in violence to support Hamas while calling for the end of Israel and death to Jews, then Biden can’t win in November, which I guess was never going to happen anyway because Biden has looked and acted weak for nearly his entire presidency, and his inability to address these protests is just one more piece of the larger puzzle: A country that wants traitor trump back in office and autocracy — a country that no longer wants democracy. How many f***ing times do I have to say it? How many f***ing times? America is just too f***ing stupid to endure, and it is altogether fitting that the end of democracy should start by electing and re-electing the dumbest president we’ve ever had in American history, ushered into office with help from college protests at some of the most prestigious universities in the world where kids may test well, but they have no clue about the world and not much common sense between the ears. The irony hurts. Welcome to stupid America. F***tards everywhere, everywhere f***tards!
Let’s see here: What’s there to write about? Nothing’s changed, essentially. Iran attacks Israel and the beginning of the traitor trump trial are a couple of compelling topics, but these recent events don’t change anything I’ve said weeks, months, or years ago. Traitor trump in court for his criminal actions will not end in a conviction. It just won’t. I’ve been saying it for years, and I’m frankly tired of writing about it, hence the dearth of my posts lately. But the dumbass Democrats and MSM would have you believe there is an impartial jury of 12 people who can sit in judgment of the orange dictator. If I’ve said it once before, then I’ve said it eleventy-billion times before: Ain’t no court in this land that will convict a former president even if he killed someone on 5th Avenue. There will always be at least one person to hang the jury, and the prosecutors will not re-try traitor trump. They get one shot at a conviction. Mark my words, f***tards. The outcome is so obvious and foregone that my writing about it is redundant. For more, see my First Axiom. So, whatever. This is what a dying country looks like. A former president commits crimes and gets re-elected because, of course, I expected nothing less from this sh*t-for-brains country.
Then we come to the Israel-Iran mess. First and foremost, I think Israel (and others) should end Iran. We should have done it years ago, but the current situation will not come to that because no one wants a wider war in the Middle East. And if I have to hear the MSM and other “experts” use the word “miscalculation” one more time, then I’m going to lose my ever-loving f***ing G.D. mind! If I had my druthers, Israel would attack the hell out of Iran, for Iran would not only be unable to defend itself but would fail to mount a successful response or keep up a sustained military fight. Iran has no alleys, and they know it. Russia is tied up in Ukraine. (If anything, a war with Iran would help Ukraine as Iran would have to stop sending military hardware to Russia.) China is not going to help; they don’t want a world war to disrupt global commerce, just as the country is getting out of an economic downturn. Indeed, no Sunni state in the Middle East is going to come to the aid of a Shia state. Hell! Countries like Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and the rest probably have been hoping for Israel to do their dirty work before Iran became fully nuclear-capable. But whatever!
Christ! With the recent state supreme court ruling that abortion is not a constitutionally protected right — that is, there is no right to privacy in the state constitution — a six-week ban will go into effect. And right on cue, dumbass Democrats think the state of Flori-DUH! is suddenly in play! In play for whom? Biden? A Senate seat? All f***ing rubbish! As usual, dumbass Democrats have delusions of grandeur. And once again, dumbass Democrats think abortion rights are going to save them in the presidential election. And again, I will say: Not! Going! To! Happen! Ever! Sure, the state constitutional amendment to be on the November ballot will probably pass, but this is Flori-DUH!, so passing an amendment means nothing. Does anyone else remember an amendment that the people of the “great” state of Flori-DUH! passed, which was eventually undermined by the legislature. Anyone? Anyone at all? Don’t be shy! Speak up! It wasn’t that long ago, f***tards. Think! Alright, alright. I’ll give you morons a hint. The New York Times summed up the ultimate legacy of the state amendment that “restored” voting rights to ex-felons. The paper writes, “Nearly 65 percent of Florida voters approved amending the State Constitution to restore the franchise of former felons, excluding those convicted of murder or sexual offenses, but the state’s Republican lawmakers and governor severely restricted the effort. A 2019 law requiring the payment of court fines and fees was found unconstitutional in May, but the appeals court overturned that ruling less than two months before the presidential election. Five of the six votes to uphold the additional requirements for the restoration of voting rights came from judges appointed to the court by President Trump.” Of course! Of course! Of course!
What do you think the state legislature will do when an abortion amendment passes? Any moron should already know; just see what SCOTUS has allowed to happen over the 50 years prior to overturning Roe. Without a doubt, Flori-DUH! RepubliKKKlans will make it practically impossible to get an abortion. They will put so many restrictions on clinics that provide abortions that the amendment will be functionally useless. And who will be at fault? The voters! Yes, you heard me correctly. The f***ing sh*t-for-brains voters who passed the abortion amendment. How can this be? How can I blame those who voted to protect abortion rights? Easy: Abortion rights do not stop at one vote in one election, yet this is the great miscalculation of dumbass Democrats and the like. And I keep saying moronic Progressives and Liberals keep thinking everything is just one vote, one election away. It’s not. It requires constant vigilance and constant getting out the vote. It’s not just a single vote on a single issue. Dumbass Democrats need to convince voters to stop f***ing splitting their votes, for it is this misguided strategy of the average idiot voters that basically undermines the issue for which they are voting. And I can already see this Flori-DUH! ballot initiative on abortion rights being precisely a failure of morons splitting their votes.
This is precisely what’s going to happen, f***tards. Floridians — with much fanfare and excitement — will head to the polls to protect women’s bodily autonomy by voting to pass the proposed new amendment to the state constitution. Yet, they will simultaneously elect and re-elect every single f***ing RepubliKKKlan to the state legislature that will do everything they can to undermine the intent of the amendment, just like they did with voting rights. Because most voters are complete and utter morons of the highest f***ing order, the lessons of the recent past will be entirely lost on them. Oh, well. Welcome to stupid America!
Everything I’m seeing in this election cycle is exactly like 2016, which only portends another traitor trump presidency. I will say, though, that the only difference between the two election cycles is that Americans seem more hellbent on discarding America’s democracy because I live in stupid f***ing hell. Over the years, Americans have become dumber and more apathetic, unable to distinguish between a desirable democracy and autocracy. We have firmly entered a new era where Americans don’t want to think; they’d rather lead lives of blindness and mindlessness, where being told what to do and think is easier than thinking for one’s self.
But what has remained the same? Chiefly the MSM. Right on cue, the MSM media is treating traitor trump just like a typical candidate. Nothing to see here. A few clips of his word-salad campaign speeches and the usual I’m-going-to-end-democracy overtones, but they get little coverage beyond one media cycle, which nowadays is about 12 hours before they move on to Biden is too old, and children in Gaza — another thing the MSM thinks is Biden’s fault. So, the MSM is doing what they do best: Both sides-ing the election. If traitor trump can’t string words together to create a coherent sentence, then Biden does the same thing. If Biden is too old, then traitor trump golfs — not quite the same comparison the MSM would have you believe. But whatever.
Then there is the fundraising. Clearly, Biden is way ahead of traitor trump in fundraising. The Biden campaign — indeed, the Democratic Party generally — is far ahead in raising money, but so was Hillary Clinton compared to traitor trump in 2016. Normally, following the money predicts the outcome of a race, but that was not the case in 2016, and that won’t be the case in 2024. And closely related to the money race are the polls. Traitor trump was gaining in the polls throughout the 2016 election cycle. Momentum was clearly on his side during the primary and general elections. And, again, traitor trump has the momentum — even more significant than 2016 — going into the 2024 general election.
Last — and most crucial — 2024 has “viable” third-party candidates. This, as I’ve been saying since the election cycle started — is the x-factor that will kill our democracy and usher in a traitor trump dictator because this sh*t-for-brains country can’t comprehend any third party vote is a vote for traitor trump. But whatever. Welcome to stupid America!
I watched Oppenheimer a couple of weeks ago because I wanted to see what the big deal was all about; I was left wanting. It was a good movie, but not great. (Saltburn was more captivating.) The Nolan movie did, however, spur me to start reading American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin. It is a hefty biography, so I’m only 60-70 pages into it, but reading about his early life reminds me of the cohort of geniuses in the early 20th Century who revolutionized the field of physics by discovering and developing the field of quantum mechanics, thereby upending the validity of applying Newtonian physics at the atomic level. Einstein, Schrödinger, Heisenberg, Dirac, Bohr, Planck, and Lorentz are just a few true geniuses from this era who are also household names. If any of these names are unfamiliar, then you may be the exact opposite of a genius. Call me old fashioned, but I think geniuses can only prove themselves in the pure sciences, e.g., mathematics, physics, and chemistry (with chemistry just being an extension of physics). I might even be willing to throw computer science into the mix, in which case, I’ll add Turing to the list. If you want more recent examples of true geniuses, then allow me to suggest Hawkins and Higgs et al. — more household names.
Do you know what is not pure science? Creating and manufacturing iPods, iPhones, reusable space rockets, and electric cars. (Yes, Jobs was not a genius either.) To be sure, these things are marvelous inventions and technological advancements without which our lives would be very different, but they are merely the manifestations of the underlying science upon which they are built. In some cases, their success is no more than coopting existing technology coupled with fabulous salesmanship. This is where Musk comes in, for he is really no more than a high-intensity, high-pressure salesman. Musk may be a visionary, but I do not place him in the esteemed echelon of genius. And I think that’s where almost everyone confuses the two. A genius is almost certainly a visionary, but a visionary is not necessarily a genius. There is a difference between someone who can “see into the future” — or, more appropriately, understand what the future could look like — and someone who discovers the fundamental building blocks of nature and the universe. News flash: Wanting to “go to Mars” is not discovering a fundamental building block of the universe. It is an advertisement for space tourism. In the end, that’s all Musk is; he’s a carnival barker, a used car salesman, a clown. As for Tesla, he bought an existing and distressed business, used government funds to save the company, and scaled up manufacturing. He was a half-step ahead of the impending EV revolution. Big deal. He took a gamble, and it paid off — with help from the American taxpayer. He lined his pockets with profits and stock compensation. He’s hardly contributed to the advancement of scientific knowledge. As for SpaceX, he’s merely extending the progress and technology achieved by generations before him, except he builds rockets bigger and taller. Wow! What an achievement — not really. This is lipstick on a pig, given that all of his rockets have exploded in the end. While rocket science is inherently risky and never guaranteed, one would think that with the existing knowledge base, he could create a rocket that doesn’t explode first before supersizing it. All of Musk’s accomplishments have been built off the backs of others’ work. He’s merely getting the credit for tweaking existing ideas. And don’t get me started on Twitter. Yet, this sh*t-for-brains country reveres him as a “genius” when he is not. He’s a visionary who works hard at best and gets his way by being an asshole. This is how far our country of f***tards has come. Einstein was — and quite literally — America’s first genius celebrity. Now Americans think the likes of traitor trump and Musk are geniuses. Kill me now! Welcome to stupid America!
I took a vacation from doom-posting because it’s become exhausting. (There are only so many ways I can repeat myself to deaf ears.) So, I thought I’d take a break and see what’s changed in the meantime. Surely, something of note out of the ordinary will have occurred while I’m gone worth writing about in retrospect. Alas! Nothing! Nothing has changed — unsurprisingly. (Maybe tomorrow.) Same ole, same ole. Traitor trump is still on the ascendancy; democracy is still on the decline; Americans are still getting dumber by the day. Same sh*t, different day. Oh, “Oppenheimer” won the most Oscars because, you know, that’s important. This is what a dying country looks like. Welcome to stupid America. No one cares.
As I predicted, SCOTUS issued a unanimous decision on the 14th Amendment case. Unlike with other significant legal matters, I did not read the short opinion — and probably never will — because it’s a pointless and futile task. I predicted a 9-0 outcome the second SCOTUS decided to take up the case and long before the oral arguments, which only reaffirmed my unanimous prognostications. I’m not even going to claim I was right on this one or had some unique insight, for the ultimate disposition of the case was so glaringly obvious. It was the only logical outcome from an uber-conservative supermajority who are bending over backward to save traitor trump and promote him to dictator while establishing their long-desired theocracy at the same time. Of course, none of this could have come to fruition without the three weak and acquiescent liberal Justices lending their imprimatur. How disappointing. And let me finish by pointing out a curious trend. Have you noticed that the three “center” (for lack of a better word) Justices — Roberts, Kavanaugh, and Barrett — conveniently rotate siding with the Liberal wing of the Court? This is all part of the illusion by the Court to demonstrate feckless “bipartisanship” while maintaining a semblance of give-and-take and diversity of ideas. But it’s all empty gesturing, for there is always only one “center” Justice peeling off at a time, so they remain in the minority opinion, changing nothing. Thus, the majority (and wrong) view prevails on the most consequential legal issues of the day. But whatever. None of this matters anymore. This is what a dying country looks like. How many times do I have to tell you, f***tards? Welcome to stupid America. The end is already here!
The liberal wing of the Court is complicit in the death of our democracy. Sotomayor, Kegan, and Jackson are being way too deferential and subservient to quaint — and now seemingly corrupting — traditions and decorum. These liberal justices should be leaking behind-the-doors deliberations and disagreements. They need to start calling out those justices, as in this most recent decision to grant cert, who want to delay traitor trump’s legal cases until after the election. These f***ing dumbass Democrats and nice justices are leading us right into authoritarian rule from which we will not return to democracy, at least not without another civil war or revolution. It is time to blow up the notion that SCOTUS is actually impartial and “rules” based on the law and facts of a case. The only people who can call out the theocratic wing of the Court is the left, pro-democracy contingent. They must do it in the open and with plain language, not hidden behind the legalese of written opinions or coded in subtle digs. But no! They won’t! They’re too nice. So, fine! Whatever! No one cares! Evil and vileness in America are winning the day as a consequence of Sotomayor, Kegan, and Jackson sticking to politeness. Welcome to stupid America, where killing people with kindness only makes RepubliKKKlans stronger and murders democracy. I give up!
