According to Justice Black’s 1965 dissent in Griswold v. Connecticut, “I get nowhere in this case by talk about a constitutional ‘right of privacy’ as an emanation from one or more constitutional provisions. I like my privacy as well as the next one, but I am nevertheless compelled to admit that government has a right to invade it unless prohibited by some specific constitutional provision.” How incredible! I always thought conservatives wanted “small” government and despise big brother, yet this justice concedes while he doesn’t like those notions, there is nothing to stop government’s “right to invade.” Fan-f***ing-tastic!

I hope f***tards of America truly understand what’s coming to them with this new SCOTUS because the new uber-conservative majority of 2022 believes what the justice I quoted above believed 70 years ago. Namely, there is no right to privacy in the Constitution. It’s the same thing I warned about in plenty of other posts, for example, They’re Coming for Your Straight Marriage Next, Democrats on Roe: Asleep! At! The! Wheel!, Vindicated!, and Catastrophic!. I told you, people! You, Americans, are going to be very surprised about all the rights you thought you had but will come to realize were never there but for the ruling of an old SCOTUS. This new SCOTUS is going to revisit Griswold. That is a promise. Griswold was decided based on a right to “marital privacy,” which SCOTUS will declare actually does not exist. Mark my words, f***tards. I’ve been more right about the actions of SCOTUS than anything, and they are coming for everyone’s right next! They want to take rights away, not expand them. Oh, well. I live in stupid hell.

Of course, this is all very ironic because the very faction of conservative American politics and citizenry that claims they want small government and government out of their lives (and bedroom) voted for traitor trump, who installed justices that will declare: You have no right to privacy! I told you so. I told you, but Americans fell in love with traitor trump because they love the reflection. Elections have consequences, f***tards. This is what Americans want, and you’re going to get it — in spades. Mark my words. Welcome to stupid America!

According to Quinnipiac, “In the race for the U.S. Senate in Georgia, Democratic incumbent Raphael Warnock leads 54 – 44 percent over Republican challenger Herschel Walker, according to a Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pea-ack) University poll of Georgia registered voters released today. In Quinnipiac’s January 2022 poll, the race was very tight with 49 percent of voters supporting Walker and 48 percent supporting Warnock. … The race for Georgia governor is a tie with 48 percent of voters supporting Republican incumbent Brian Kemp and 48 percent supporting Democratic challenger Stacey Abrams.”

Unquestionably, a very good set of poll results for Democrats in Georgia, and certainly not what I expected, but the only poll that counts is the one on election day because there is one thing polls can never predict, and that’s turnout. Everyone knows Democratic turnout always falls behind RepubliKKKlan turnout during midterm elections.

The Cassidy Hutchinson testimony is the first-person account of the insurrection that confirms traitor trump knew everything and did nothing. In fact, every RepubliKKKlan did nothing to stop it. Traitor trump knew the mob was armed with weapons ranging from brass knuckles to spears to AR-15s. He knew anti-government groups were in the crowd. He knew these people were dangerous — not to him, naturally — but to everyone else, especially to Pence. (“I don’t care that they have weapons. They’re not here to hurt me.”) He knew to incite the crowd and enrage them at the insurrectionist rally. And he knew what he was doing when he unleashed and commanded them to “march” to (take over) the Capitol. We also learned that he wanted to be the general leading the charge. His claim to walk down with them was not hyperbole after all. It was entirely intended and desired. And, of course, traitor trump was more worried about crowd size to the last.

But fear not, morons! Fear not! Traitor trump is going to be just fine. Nothing is going to happen to traitor trump. He is safe. He is above the law. Why? Because we have f***tard AG Garland heading up the DOJ, who is too weak to hold a former president accountable. Mark my words, f***tards. Garland is already paralyzed into inaction because he’s afraid. Do you recall way back when traitor trump claimed that he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and get away with it? Recall that moment? I do. Most morons heard that and rolled their eyes, thinking, wow, this guy is full of it and himself. I, on the other hand, knew he was not kidding, and he was right to understand that he’s above the law. And what has history proved? He does get away with everything. No one holds him accountable. There are never any consequences because everyone is afraid of him, especially dumbass Democrats and AG Garland.

So, this is what’s going to happen, morons. Traitor trump is going to accelerate his timetable to declare his candidacy for president because he knows that as a candidate, he has some inherent protection from legal prosecution, for the last thing Garland wants to do is upset the institutional “traditions” and “perception” of impartiality. If there is one thing he fears more than saving democracy, it is appearing to be meddling in the political election that will propel traitor trump into the presidency to finish the job — of destroying democracy. AG Garland is the absolute worst person to be in office for this moment in history on behalf of a Democratic president. I think of all things, picking Garland will be remembered as Biden’s worst decision. Mark my words! Nothing is going to happen to traitor trump, except to win the next election because I live in stupid hell. Welcome to stupid America!

He says in Salon, “Ultimately, if Garland refuses to act, future history books will forever connect him to Trump’s coup attempt. Such hypothetical accounts may observe that after a defeated president and his confederates attempted to overthrow American democracy, the nation’s top law enforcement official declined to hold him accountable — and that led directly to the collapse of democracy and the rise of a fascist regime. … The framers of the U.S. Constitution personally understood the dangers of kings and their tyranny. Trump and his fascist insurgency represent exactly the type of authoritarian force that the framers rejected. What will King Trump do if he (or another younger and more vigorous aspiring monarch) returns to power in 2024 or thereafter? Like the kings of old, the Trump regime will pursue violent retribution against everyone they believe has wronged them. Those who laugh at King Trump now are trying to find safety and comfort in gallows humor. It will not be enough. Such laughter will not save them.”

DeVega is my man! Preach. I basically quote the beginning and ending paragraphs of his article because I think they sum up his points well. First, AG Garland is worthless. Although this is not the article’s primary subject, I appreciate that he and I are on the same page with Garland when everyone else seems to have faith in him and believes him to be working behind the scenes. But let’s face it, shall we? Garland is not going to do anything to hold traitor trump accountable because recall my First Axiom of politics: Traitor trump ain’t going nowhere!

Second, ignoring traitor trump is dangerous, which Garland and many others are doing. In short, there are still believers who think traitor trump is a buffoon who has revealed himself as such during his presidency and since the insurrection. Consequently, his ineptitude precludes him from being able to win in 2024. This, of course, is non-sense. There may be a perception that he is losing control and influence over the GOP, but that is an illusion partly because he’s not the president. To be sure, the minute he declares his candidacy — and denying he will is itself a dangerous illusion that reinforces my prior point — his influence will return in force and unequivocally. He will be a formidable rival for Biden, and given America’s stupidity and fixation on the price of gas, they are more than willing to give the traitor another chance. You may not have democracy, but gas will be slightly cheaper. Ugh! I can’t! Welcome to stupid America!

Look, morons! I’ve been saying it for years now, and it is beginning. But, perhaps, I should take a moment to fine-tune my meaning, for I seem to vacillate among phrases such as “it’s coming,” “it’s here,” “it’s a cold war now,” and “it’s a hot war coming,” among other iterations of similar thoughts. To be sure, we are in a cold civil war right now at this moment. And it is beyond the culture war; SCOTUS made sure of that. Now we’ve entered into issues related to the fundamental right to privacy. I think the cold war will intensify, and I do think eventually, we will slip into a hot war. Now, as I’ve said in prior posts, the next (hot) civil war will not be like the last. There will not be battle lines drawn and generals commanded by a president and traitor president. No! It will be state versus state and neighbor versus neighbor. States will become enemy states to each other. In fact, we are already beginning to see the emergence of feuding states that do not simply involve a war of will, cultural values, or taxes. No. We see states that are going out of their way to hold citizens of other states criminal for legal actions conducted in that person’s home state.

But, again, don’t take my word for it. I am not being hyperbolic. NBC News has a good piece from which I quote, “With some states allowing private lawsuits against out-of-state abortion providers — and other states prohibiting cooperation with abortion investigations — the abortion issue is likely to pit state law enforcement agencies and court systems against one another in dramatic fashion. … Texas law [for example] lets private citizens sue out-of-state abortion providers, and Missouri is considering a similar law. … ‘What we had in the years leading up to the Civil War was a failure of what lawyers call comity, the idea that states will respect other states’ laws’ for reasons of courtesy, consideration and mutual respect, said Ariela J. Gross, a professor of law and history at the University of Southern California Gould School of Law. ‘That starts to break down when you have these really stark differences over an issue involving a fundamental right, and that’s what happened in the years leading up to the Civil War.’… ‘It’s one thing to have states fighting with each other about a tax on interstate cargo or mudflaps on trucks,’ said Wendy Parmet, a professor of law and public policy at the Northeastern University School of Public Policy and Urban Affairs. ‘It’s not the kind of thing that tens of thousands of people take to the streets over. … We certainly have not seen since the Civil War these kinds of conflicts between the states in a context of such heightened controversy and anger.’”

Bingo! Bingo! Bingo! This is the disintegration of America happening right before our eyes — if you’re looking. We have long known that the divide between a blue America and a red America has been widening, but SCOTUS has facilitated and will further facilitate the divide. Soon, crossing from one state to the next becomes akin to crossing international borders, where some citizens are held captive like Griner in Russia. The kindling exists. It is piling up. SCOTUS is more than content to pour the gasoline and strike a match. Mark my words! Welcome to stupid America!

A couple of key passages in a Washington Post article read, “But many abortion rights supporters say Republicans have routinely broken the rules in recent years and benefited enormously from it — for example, by blocking President Barack Obama’s Supreme Court pick — and that for Democrats to continue observing the niceties amounts to unilateral disarmament. ‘We are dealing with one side that is undermining the very essence of what it means to be a country that roots itself in this philosophy of equal protection under the law. You cannot battle that if folks on the other side are always moderating, modulating and compromising. It’s not the age we’re in,’ said the Rev. William Barber, a North Carolina preacher who is co-chair of the Poor People’s Campaign. … ‘Democrats start with the question of, “Are we allowed to do this or not?” And I think Democratic voters will forgive you if you try and later on it turns out a court strikes it down,’ Bardella said. ‘But at least you tried in the meantime to keep things in place and head toward the next election. What they won’t forgive is if you keep asking them to keep you in power but you don’t do anything with it, or at least try to do something with it.’… ‘It’s very similar to what happened in 2020: “Go back to the voting booths.”… It always comes back to “Now you, the individual, do something,”’ said Paris Hatcher, executive director for Black Feminist Future. ‘But we’ve elected these people who are in office at this very moment to take action on things like this. It becomes a very passive way to pass the buck when we have elected them to make things happen that center on the well-being of the people.’”

I quoted much, but there was much to be said better than I could. I think the voices in the article have it exactly right, and it is nothing different from my complaining about dumbass Democrats for — well — basically as long as I have been voting. Democrats are the weak, stupid, and incompetent party, which occasionally wins elections to slow RepubliKKKlan fascism, but never enough to defeat it. (Sadly, it is the least of the worst choices, so I always vote Democratic.) Nonetheless, it is clear that voters and even some Democratic strategists understand this, but — as the article articulates — leadership is utterly worthless for this moment. Let’s face it. After these significant events, Biden and Pelosi come out to say things, things, and more things. Then it is radio silence. That’s not leadership; those are just empty words and gestures. They are really good at saying “go vote” randomly. Sure — yes, and…? Dumbass Democrats keep hearkening back to a past that no longer exists and will never exist again. How many times have I said dumbass Democrats lack the ruthlessness to defeat RepubliKKKlans? How many f***ing times? Do not expect the Democratic Party to save you from RepubliKKKlan fascism, for their pusillanimousness is becoming part of the problem. It is time to take matters into your own hands. It is time to take to the streets. No justice, no peace! What side of history will you be on when the time comes to declare? Welcome to stupid America!

From NewsS4SA, “One Uvalde mother took matters into her own hands that afternoon when she heard gunshots while outside the elementary school. Angeli Rose Gomez says she heard there was an active shooter and quickly rushed to the school, where her two young boys went. … Ever since that harrowing day, Gomez says she has faced scrutiny from law enforcement, even at her own home, ‘the other night we were exercising and we had a cop parked at the corner like, flickering us with his headlights.’”

Of course, Uvalde police are harassing her! She did something that sh*thole Texas police failed to do: Save the children. And this state is about to ban abortions! Naturally! For conservatives, it’s love the fetus and hate the baby. As for babies that die by bullets? Well, that’s just the price of freedom. Sh*thole logic from a sh*thole state filled with sh*thole RepubliKKKlan voters. Welcome to stupid America!

Alex Wagner is returning to the spotlight on MSNBC, replacing Rachel Maddow four days a week on the channel.

From WSB-TV, “Atlanta police are investigating a shooting that has left one woman dead and another in surgery. The reason for the shooting? Too much mayonnaise on a sandwich, police said.” This is the America you wanted, people. Arguments over condiments being settled by guns. I guess I should really qualify my generalization. If you voted for a RepubliKKKlan — ever in the past — or if you ever sat at home failing to vote, then this is the America you voted for or didn’t vote for, whatever the case may be. So congratulations, f***tards. Thank you so much for helping to create this hellscape. And a special thanks to all those traitor trump MAGA moron voters who elected an idiot that packed SCOTUS with justices who just ruled states cannot regulate conceal carry laws because everyone should be packing heat just in case they need to kill someone for putting too much mayonnaise on a sandwich. Whatever! I live in stupid, stupid hell. Welcome to stupid America! Just when you think it can’t get any dumber.

No surprise here: SCOTUS weakened the separation of church and state in their Kennedy v. Bremerton School District decision. I quote Justice Sotomayor’s dissent, “Today, the Court once again weakens the backstop. It elevates one individual’s interest in personal religious exercise, in the exact time and place of that individual’s choosing, over society’s interest in protecting the separation between church and state, eroding the protections for religious liberty for all. Today’s decision is particularly misguided because it elevates the religious rights of a school official, who voluntarily accepted public employment and the limits that public employment entails, over those of his students, who are required to attend school and who this Court has long recognized are particularly vulnerable and deserving of protection. In doing so, the Court sets us further down a perilous path in forcing States to entangle themselves with religion, with all of our rights hanging in the balance. As much as the Court protests otherwise, today’s decision is no victory for religious liberty. I respectfully dissent.”

So, there we have it. Everything I predicted upon RBG’s death is coming to fruition. Now, SCOTUS is eviscerating the separation of church and state in the name of freedom, but really that freedom is to impose their religious Christian theocracy upon the rest of us. And make no mistake about it; only Christianity is the accepted religion in America, given the Court’s now exclusive reliance on their “history and traditions” test to evaluate Constitutional law. So, Jews and Muslims get to the back of the bus. Non-religious people? Well, according to this Court, you have no place in America’s new theocratic regime. I used to say this is coming, but, in fact, it is here — now! Today! And it will only get worse.

Just wait, f***tards. They’re coming for the gays under the guise of religious liberty. What happens when a teacher can’t be fired for openly praying in a classroom to “cast out the gays.” Wow! First Amendment rights are given more importance than preventing a hostile environment. Legalizing discrimination because of the First Amendment and because of the “history and traditions” of America will be next. Oh sure, perhaps the justices were actually telling the truth in the Dobbs decision when they said Obergefell is not on the chopping under examination of the Fourteenth Amendment. They’ll do away with marriage equality via the First Amendment. They will legalize gay hate in the name of their religious freedom. Mark my words, f***tards. You idiots have no idea just how bad America is going to become! I warned you nearly two years ago. I was right then, and I’m right now. Welcome to stupid America! America is dead!
