According to The Hill, “In an appearance on Fox & Friends this week, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) questioned whether the IRS was ready to send in armed units of agents into small Iowa businesses. ‘Are they going to have a strike force that goes in with AK-15s already loaded, ready to shoot some small business person in Iowa with these, because I think they’re going after middle class and small business people, because they think that anybody that has pass-through income is a crook, and they aren’t paying their fair share, and we’re going to go after them,’ he said. … ‘The incendiary conspiracy theories Republicans are pushing about armed IRS agents are increasingly dangerous and out of control,’ Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) said in a statement.” Of course! RepubliKKKlans never want to pay their fair share. They want everything free and have everyone else pay.

The stupidity is sinking in, as I detailed in a recent post. That post was a real-world, real-time example of the level of idiocy that infects and will destroy America. As I repeatedly say, this nation cannot survive with a level of moronity so widespread throughout the population and perpetuated by RepubliKKKlan leadership that it will kill all of us. It just can’t. When I sit in a popular breakfast spot in the middle of a blue-leaning community to hear word-for-word talking points of RepubliKKKlans and MAGA morons, then I apprehend the disease of stupidity is no longer relegated to the fringes of society but is mainstream, and the infection is spreading. This IRS claim, which literally borders on a level of mental (in)capacity (IQ in the 20-25 range) to believe, is instructive of a nation headed toward a civil war if for no other reason than the intelligent, knowledgable part of society needs to purge the f***tards, lest the entire country sinks into a state of babble and drool. Welcome to stupid America — more true than not.

I assume these are real, yes? Or close to accurate? I mean, if douchebag Musk is the genius he claims to be, then he could easily srub the interwebs of fake and deep fake pics, right? I mean, he claims to be the mastermind and the end-all, be-all of space, cars, and technology. Oh, wait! What the f***? They are real? According to Musk’s own Twitter response, “Musk, 51, cheekily responded to one of the jokes saying he needed to take his shirt off more often. ‘Haha damn, maybe I should take off my shirt more often … free the nip!! (already back in the factory btw),’ he posted.” I was half kidding when I questioned the legitimacy of the pics. I figured they may have been slightly altered, but I guess not. Musk actually owns and embraces that body. Now I want to know how the f*** that guy is still bedding women and fathering illegitimate children? Ugh. Gross. Seriously! He’s a gross old fat white man. Ick! Just ick! Oh, and have you seen him dance? Wow! No! I love how old straight white men just give up at a certain age.

Mark Leibovich writes in The Atlantic, “I joined Cheney in the college town of Laramie, at a house party hosted by one of her supporters. As usual, people were coming up to her—very young people and very old people and liberals who probably used to deride her father, Dick Cheney, as Darth Vader and a war criminal. Now they were praising Darth Daughter, reminding her that she is playing for history and on a stage much bigger than Wyoming. They tell her not to be deterred—by the abuse or the Ditch Liz signs or whatever ugly results come in after the voting’s done. … Being a lonely exemplar of courage in a party otherwise bloated with cranks and cowards has made Liz Cheney one of the most admired political leaders in America—at least among Democrats. ‘The world is upside down,’ Cheney has been saying. Indeed, the marvel of Dick Cheney’s daughter now having a 59 percent approval rating among Democrats, and only 14 percent among Republicans, has not been lost on anyone.”

Ugh! Between you, me, and the fence post, I’m among the 59 percent and one who called the Dick Darth Vader and a war criminal, which still holds true to this day. But I concede that I must be getting squishy in my old age. I still hate all RepubliKKKlans without exception, but I hate a few less (perhaps a quiet contempt) than most others, for example, Michael Steele. And I’ve even learned to mostly forgive former RepubliKKKlans such as Joe Scarbrough and Nicolle Wallace, who are among my favorite commentators. I guess if they are trenchant enough to know when to leave a party that has become anti-American, then I could respect them for their choice even though they were once part of and supported a party that paved the way to this moment in history. So, they are not entirely faultless. Of course, I would sooner pull a hole in my head than ever vote for a RepubliKKKlan.

But back to Cheney. Even though she has not left the RepubliKKKlan Party — the party left her, as the cliché goes — she is truly the most ferocious defender of America’s democracy than anyone in Congress, including Democrats. And she further gained my respect when she voted in favor of the Respect for Marriage Act, which was surprising. Amazing how a lesbian sister changes one perspective, but that’s par for the course with a conservative mindset; they find empathizing with others difficult unless they have been directly or indirectly impacted, especially on culture war issues. Unfortunately, Sith Lord traitor trump has cut down Jedi Master Cheney, and now he’s more powerful than ever. The end is coming, morons. Mark my words. Welcome to stupid America!

First, I love William Shatner. Second, I love William Shatner. Third, I love William Shatner. Last, Musk is a douchebag — always has been!

From The Wall Street Journal, “Attorney General Merrick Garland deliberated for weeks over whether to approve the application for a warrant to search former President Donald Trump’s Florida home, people familiar with the matter said, a sign of his cautious approach that will be tested over the coming months.” All wasted time when there is no time to waste! While Garland has been evincing a de minimis amount of spine in the last couple of weeks, he is playing right into traitor trump’s most valuable tactic: Delay and wait out the clock. As Garland hems and haws about taking each step, traitor trump is plotting and consolidating his power and defense. This only reinforces what I’ve been saying for years now; A.G. Garland is not the killer America needs — indeed, requires — to take down traitor trump and save America. Being too cautious at this point only makes the orange traitor stronger. The army he built is mobilizing, and Garland is too busy musing. Welcome to stupid America! The end is coming for our democracy. I’m not sure how often I have to keep repeating myself before people start to believe.

Ha ha! According to The New York Times, “A senior executive at Donald J. Trump’s family business who was charged with participating in a yearslong tax scheme is nearing a deal with Manhattan prosecutors but will not cooperate with a broader investigation into Mr. Trump, according to three people with knowledge of the matter. If it becomes final, a plea deal for the executive, Allen H. Weisselberg, would bring prosecutors no closer to indicting the former president but would nonetheless brand one of his most trusted lieutenants a felon.” Of course!

Allow myself to quote myself from a February 2022 post, “The twin New York investigations have stalled even after the release of his taxes which were supposed to be the holy grail that would undo him [traitor trump]. Weisselberg was supposed to crack and turn on traitor trump. Not! Still waiting!” It was obvious to me back in February that nothing was going to come from Weisselberg. He was never going to flip. He was always going to hold fast because traitor trump is the mob boss, and his lieutenants would literally go to jail for him rather than give him up — ask Michael Cohen. It is another potential prosecution the orange traitor swatted down. It is just one more example of traitor trump getting away with crimes because he’s untouchable. I wish he weren’t, but people need to come to grips with the fact that he gets away with everything. No one will ever hold him accountable, including A.G. Garland. Welcome to stupid America. I give up! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

According to CNN, “The FBI sought to locate classified documents related to nuclear weapons, among other items, when agents searched former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, this week, people familiar with the investigation told The Washington Post.” There is only one conclusion: Traitor trump intended to sell nuclear secrets to Russia or North Korea. What other reason would there be for traitor trump to possess such information? There is a reason I’ve been calling the orange man “traitor trump” from day one! He is a f***ing traitor of the highest m****f***ing order! Traitor trump hates America, and he is the leader of the “America last” and “hate America” coalition. And RepubliKKKlans, MAGA morons, evil evangelicals, and QAnon kooks will defend him no matter what because they want him to return to the presidency to finish destroying America, for they’re all traitors, too. We execute traitors in this country and the electric chair has been woefully underused as of late.

Yet, 40 percent of the country are traitors or admire traitors and they desire the head insurrectionist to lead the nation once again. Fear not, though! Nothing will happen to traitor trump; it never does. His followers love him more for being “persecuted” and aggrieved, and he’ll just get re-elected because this is what morons of America want — a treasonous, idiot leader who cares more about foreign dictators than the welfare of the nation. But he hates minorities! Being president has always been about traitor trump’s ego and personal aggrandizement and never about serving the nation or promoting the betterment of the citizens. Traitor trump is the mirror evincing the depravity and hatred of a nation, and the nation fell in love with what they saw in the reflection, which is why people are willing and have died for him. Oh, well. The end is coming, f***tards. Traitor trump is a national security threat; no one cares because inflation! Oh, and, of course, but her emails! I can’t! Welcome to stupid America.

According to The New York Times, “At least one lawyer for former President Donald J. Trump signed a written statement in June asserting that all material marked as classified and held in boxes in a storage area at Mr. Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence and club had been returned to the government, four people with knowledge of the document said.” So, now the lawyer is in legal jeopardy? Two words: Plausible deniability. I’m not a lawyer, but when I hear these armchair solicitors on M.S.M. claim that traitor trump’s lawyer and traitor trump himself could be legally culpable for what is clearly a false declaration made to the F.B.I., I roll my eyes. Once again, morons on the boob tube and inter-webs keep convincing themselves that traitor trump has never done this before now. This is his first time flouting the law and dodging the legal system, so naturally, he has no idea how to — indeed, cannot — evade federal prosecutors. Wrong!

This is precisely how the “he said she said” argument is going to go. Traitor trump’s lawyer will claim that she signed and submitted the statement in good faith because she consulted with traitor trump and personally reviewed the boxes locked in storage. She saw nothing — because Traitor trump was playing hide-and-seek with the files. Traitor trump will argue that he told her the truth and that he relied on her to conduct the necessary due diligence before she submitted such a declaration. In other words, it’s not his fault, although again he’s been playing hide-and-seek with national security documents. Of course, federal prosecutors would need to establish who ordered moving boxes around and when to hide from investigators. I promise that the chain of commands for moving said boxes will be like a long game of third-grade telephone where no one knows anything for sure. This is exactly how traitor trump launders his lies into “truth” so that he always gets away with establishing doubt and plausible deniability, which has kept him out of jail for 50 years. They’re never going to get him. Mark my words! Welcome to stupid America!

One of the primary defenses in support of traitor trump’s handling of classified documents is that he has the power to declassify anything thing he wants. As The New York Times reports, “Former President Donald J. Trump claimed on Friday that before leaving office, he declassified all the documents the F.B.I. found in this week’s search of his Florida residence that agents described as classified in a list of what they seized — including several caches apparently marked as ‘top secret.’ ‘It was all declassified,’ Mr. Trump asserted in a statement. The claim echoed an assertion in May by Kash Patel, a former Trump administration official and a major supporter of Mr. Trump, after the National Archives found materials marked classified in boxes of documents it removed from Mr. Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club and estate. He asserted that Mr. Trump had deemed those files declassified shortly before leaving office, but that the markings had not been removed from them. … But in any case, such a claim would not settle the matter. For one thing, two of the laws that a search warrant executed at Mar-a-Lago this week referred to — Sections 1519 and 2071 of Title 18 of the United States Code — make the taking or concealment of government records a crime regardless of whether they had anything to do with national security.”

Let’s put aside this last part of the quote, although it is the most significant factor in this Mar-a-Lago-gate mess. I will save that for another time. What I am most interested in is this presumption of the presidential declassification wand: That the president can declassify anything while in office. It interests me because it has never been tested, of course, until traitor trump entered the White House and decided to wreck everything. Before traitor trump, there was a process for handling and declassifying national security material that every other president would never dream of violating. Then enter traitor trump, who declassified on a whim and violated every administrative process. By his very contempt and disregard for norms, practices, principles, and morality, he has pushed the notion of the unitary executive — a philosophy particularly advanced by the dick, Cheney — to its maximum, which basically states that all the executive power resides in the chief executive, aka the president. Because he is the “C.E.O.” of the nation, then he is defacto above the law while in office. How convenient for the criminal president traitor trump and Bush II, who preceded him.

Naturally, when this type of fracture arises, one must go directly to SCOTUS. How will SCOTUS rule? That is the real question. Therein lies the fundamental crux of the matter. Will this SCOTUS confer even more unitary power upon the president? Will this SCOTUS create a declassification wand whereby the president can ignore the long-established declassification processes and just declare national security secrets open source because he said so? The short answer, of course, is hell yes! Or, more specifically, yes for RepubliKKKlan presidents, for they’ll find some exception in the “traditions and history” of America that only applies to “conservative” applications of an imperial president. Make no mistake, always ask yourself how will SCOTUS rule if such a matter needs to be adjudicated before the High Court. When you suspect they will vote in favor of conservative causes or a RepubliKKKlan president, then you will better understand the significance of what’s happening in politics. Conservatives are always looking for test cases to expedite to SCOTUS with the intention of expanding the powers of an imperial presidency. RepubliKKKlans want a Constitutional crisis because they know America’s democracy loses and Fascism wins in such cases. Welcome to stupid America!

Noted conservative David Brooks poses the question in The New York Times. He does not quite answer the question strictly but conjectures, “I presume in those circumstances Trump would be arrested and imprisoned. I also presume we would see widespread political violence from incensed Trump voters who would conclude that the Regime has stolen the country. In my view, this is the most likely path to a complete democratic breakdown. … My impression is that the F.B.I. had legitimate reasons to do what it did. My guess is it will find some damning documents that will do nothing to weaken Trump’s support. I’m also convinced that, at least for now, it has unintentionally improved Trump’s re-election chances. It has unintentionally made life harder for Trump’s potential primary challengers and motivated his base.”

He’s partially correct in that America is about to break down entirely. And, in my estimation, we are one step closer to the hot civil war that has been ten years in the making. Brooks is wrong in that traitor trump’s chances have been improved with the F.B.I. raid. No, no. I contend that his chances of winning remain unchanged because he always had a near-certain chance of winning. And all these political pundits who claim traitor trump was on the political ropes, that the Big Lie was losing its potency, and that DeSantis was about to overtake the orange man are idiots who have not been paying attention. Traitor trump only appears to have been in a political lull over the last two years; yet, he was always destined to come roaring back once he declared his presidential ambitions. The only thing the F.B.I. did was accelerate the timeline. Revving up the MAGA moron crazies and whipping the RepubliKKKlan Party in line to support traitor trump was always going to happen at the flick of a switch. DeSantis never had a chance. Pence never had a chance. All the “Never Trumpers” and traitor trump detractors never had a chance to change the course of the RepubliKKKlan Party or trumpism.

Moreover, traitor trump’s entire presidential campaign was always going to be based on revenge and lies and violence, so what the F.B.I. did or did not do and when the F.B.I. did what it did or did not do what it never intended is utterly immaterial to the eventual goal: Elect traitor trump on a platform of hatred, stupidity, conspiracy theories, and revenge. And should the D.OJ. actually charge the orange traitor with a crime — though he’ll never be convicted — the outcome was also going to be exactly the same: Political violence. Political violence before his election and political violence after the election. Political violence should he win or not win. If traitor trump should win, then the violence would merely be sanctioned by the government, and no one except enemies of the state will be held accountable. Suddenly, RepubliKKKlans and MAGA morons will fall in love with the F.B.I. again. Mark my words, f***tard. The end was also coming; it just sped up a bit. Welcome to stupid America!
