Dead End?

Slava Ukraini

According to The New York Times, “President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia said on Tuesday that peace talks with Ukraine had reached a ‘dead end’ and he falsely called the evidence of Russian atrocities in a Kyiv suburb ‘fake,’ using his first extended remarks about the war in nearly a month to insist that Russia would persist in its invasion.”

You’re kidding me with this, right? What part of my post from the beginning of the war did people not understand? Allow myself to quote myself, “It [peace talks] is a ruse. It is all propaganda.” How could there be a “dead end” when no one was on the road to negotiations in the first place. Putin does not want peace. He wants annihilation and nothing less. I wish people would understand this! It seems that diplomats on the MSM, in particular, are still holding out hope for a compromise. I guess the old saying is true: A carpenter sees every problem as a nail. Of course, this type of narrow thinking constrains and misguides diplomats’ and politicians’ understanding of how to bring Russia’s unjust war against Ukraine to an end. The way to bring peace with Putin is not to negotiate or compromise! The only way is to offer terms of unconditional surrender. Unless and until the world understands that the only way to “work” with Putin is through utter defeat, then the free world will be in danger everywhere. Do not negotiate; offer Russia peace terms!

And if I have to hear one more idiot pundit, reporter, diplomat, politician, journalist, or general “expert” talk about giving Putin an “off-ramp” to this war, then I’m going to blow my f***ing gourd. How many ways can I say the same thing? There is only one outcome of this war: Putin is utterly defeated. He’s not looking for a f***ing G.D. “off-ramp,” and Ukraine should not be offering one to him unless it includes Russia’s total and unconditional capitulation! This is Putin’s last act. People have yet to grasp this notion.

Death Spiral of America: QAnon, Guns, and Idiocracy

According to a stunning article in The New York Times, “Mr. Jones said he was struck by the prevalence of QAnon’s adherents. Overlaying the share of poll respondents who expressed belief in its core principles over the country’s total population, ‘that’s more than 30 million people,’ he said. ‘Thinking about QAnon, if it were a religion, it would be as big as all white evangelical Protestants, or all white mainline Protestants,’ he added. ‘So it lines up there with a major religious group.’ He also noted the correlation between belief in QAnon’s fiction and the conviction that armed conflict would be necessary. ‘It’s one thing to say that most Americans laugh off these outlandish beliefs, but when you consider that these beliefs are linked to a kind of apocalyptic thinking and violence, then it becomes something quite different,’ he said.” Then add on top of that this: “A measure long sought by conservative activists allowing Texans to carry handguns without a license [i.e., training, background check if bought through a private transaction] is on the cusp of becoming law after the Texas Senate approved a compromise on the bill Monday, sending it to Gov. Greg Abbott. Abbott has said he would sign the permitless carry proposal into law.”

The Texas Tribune

Of course, RepubliKKKlans are passing a bill that the vast majority of Texans do not want, but what else is new? I say it every f***ing time: This nation is the tyranny of the minority over the majority, and no one cares. Whatever! And, of course, the reality of QAnon gaining prominence in America’s idiocracy coupled with ever-increasing lax gun laws is like the peanut butter and chocolate recipe for America’s demise. America deserves it! I have long said America is too stupid to survive, and now I am witnessing it in real (accelerated) time. One cannot possibly make up the headlines populating the pages of newspapers, newscasts, and websites, yet they are real. One may argue America has always had some level of “crazy,” and I would certainly agree. Still, this moment in history is significantly different because the QAnon kookery is the new religion, and guns are (another) epidemic in America, which is only getting worse and being facilitated by RepubliKKKlans, who are themselves being taken over by MAGA morons and QAnon. Sadly, these two facets of American culture are now primary drivers of American politics. Do you see the problem here? That is, my friends, the poison combination that is destroying America. And I am not being hyperbolic. America is too stupid to stop it. Who would have ever thought two ardent adherents of QAnon could be elected to Congress? Yet, it happened — twice! Just wait until the next Congress; there will be more. If 30 million morons (that’s 1 in 10 citizens!) believe the QAnon bat-sh*t craziness, then there is no reason that that 30 million should not be represented more fully in the next Congress, especially if f***tard RepubliKKKlan politicians run on a QAnon (or at least a not QAnon-denying) platform. This is a full-blown disease that is metastasizing and killing the nation. QAnon is not going anywhere, and people will be sorely mistaken to laugh it off as some sort of ephemeral aberration, for QAnon perfectly reflects the ethos of America’s stupidity, and now that it has reached religiosity status, America is truly, truly f***ed! Mark my words, f***tards. Stupid America loves the crazy, and they want these morons running the government! I guess people need to be entertained as America dies, and RepubliKKKlans are more than willing to oblige, knowing the re-incarnation of the nation will be for straight WASPs men only! Welcome to stupid America! Eh, I expected nothing less!

SCOTUS and Abortions: Let It Happen

Sure! Why not? It’s time to overturn Roe v. Wade. I’m deadly serious, and I’ve said it before, so just f*** it at this point. This has been a forty-seven-year fight waged by conservatives and RepubliKKKlans against liberals and dumbass Democrats, a fight dumbass Democrats have been abjectly incapable and unwilling to engage vigorously. So, be it! The weak and right party lost while the strong and wrong party won. We bet on the wrong horse. And, yes, I am reducing the seriousness of abortion rights to betting on a horse race because it is precisely the level of triviality and the gamble dumbass Democrats placed on SCOTUS and the hottest of all hot button issues ever since Roe v. Wade was decided. Democrats declared victory forty-seven years ago and walked away, never looking back and never thinking twice about women’s reproductive rights or SCOTUS again — until now, it seems. Elections have consequences, morons! Liberals and dumbass Democrats have entirely failed to make that point, election cycle after election cycle, and one confirmed right-wing nutjob judge after another confirmed right-wing nutjob judge. What does one expect when the left wing of the political spectrum falls asleep at the wheel? So, f*** it! This is precisely the America for which people voted, wittingly or unwittingly.

But whatever! Maybe liberals and progressives will get woke now? I f***ing doubt it. No! I know they won’t. Certainly not woke enough to matter or change things. Perhaps just woke enough to endure mindlessly, which is not far from the current state of the progressive moment. I don’t care anymore. I never had a dog in the abortion fight anyway. So, let women be forced to endure things with their bodies that they don’t want. Who cares about women’s rights anyway? Clearly, most women who voted for traitor trump propelling him to victory, don’t care, so why should I? Americans clearly don’t mind old white men telling all women what to do with their bodies, so why should I be concerned? Why should I care about a resurging misogynistic ethos in America? America’s men have always detested women, so now it’s just more pronounced, bolder, and about to be enshrined into law. In the end, what will it matter? Abortion protection will merely be removed at the federal level, thereby moving the question to the states. Thus, state by state will determine abortion rights, and those red states will ban it outright. So, let those women suffer. They can always move or, God forbid, do the unthinkable — vote out RepubliKKKlan state lawmakers and replace them with progressives. But, once again, who am I kidding? That will never happen.

Or, women can always go back to coat hangers because making abortions illegal has never actually stopped abortions; it just pushes them underground where they are performed in unsafe conditions and by desperate do-it-yourself practitioners. What will naturally follow is legislation that punishes women (with jail time) for attempting or successfully terminating a pregnancy, which is consistent with traitor trump’s call to punish women for seeking an abortion. Don’t think for one G.D. second RepubliKKKlans will stop with merely outlawing abortions; they will jail women who legally get abortions in other states, for states can and conservative states will most certainly regulate what their female residents can and cannot do with their own bodies in another state. Ending Roe v. Wade is just the beginning: “Theoretically, a state opposed to abortion could enact a law prohibiting its female citizens from traveling to another jurisdiction to obtain a legal abortion.” (See Extraterritoriality of Restrictive State Abortion Laws: States Can Abort Plans to Abort at Home but Not Abroad for a detailed discussion.) Does anyone think that this new conservative SCOTUS would not uphold a state which does pass such an onerous law? Only in America have we gone from abortions being legal, safe, and rare to illegal, dangerous, and no less rare.

Dumbass Democrats and progressives have lived the last forty-seven years practicing complete complacency regarding civil rights and personal liberties. I’m over it! I’m just over it! It’s all fun and games until half the population loses a fundamental human right, and then suddenly, it becomes a serious matter. Sadly, it’s too late. The irreparable harm has already come to pass. Elections have consequences — a lesson dumbass Democrats, liberals, progressives, and Independents will never, ever learn. Welcome to stupid America!

Kill or Be Killed!

Target Practice

From the Miami Herald, “Three family members have been charged with a hate crime after kidnapping and beating a gay man so severely that he was permanently blinded, Broward County prosecutors said Tuesday. Two parents and their son were formally charged Tuesday on counts of first-degree attempted murder, burglary with battery and kidnapping ‘with prejudice’ — all charges enhanced under Florida’s ‘hate crime’ law. That means they all face up to life in prison on each count.”

It’s happening, morons. I’ve warned the LGBTQ community repeatedly to arm up! This is a gun-crazy society, so the gays may as well arm up to protect themselves from rising gay hate. Mark! My! Words! F***tards! RepubliKKKlans are encouraging gay hatred and violence. They no longer use dog whistles. Now, they use bullhorns, and the haters listen and react accordingly. Yet, I fear LGBTQ members are still oblivious to the impending violence that is becoming normalized and encouraged. Just to be absolutely clear (again): RepubliKKKlans, MAGA morons, evil evangelicals, and QAnon kooks want all LGBTQ members dead ala Putin. It is kill or be killed! Fight back with deadly force, people! Welcome to stupid America! The hate is spreading like cancer.

It’s Offical

According to Vox, “Prosecutors dropped murder charges on Sunday against a 26-year-old southern Texas woman over an alleged ‘self-induced abortion,’ admitting that she had not committed a crime. But her case is an example of the lengths to which red states are willing to go to restrict abortion access — and abortion advocates worry it could have a chilling effect on pregnant people seeking medical care in Texas.” This example is, of course, the next logical step once Roe is overturned, and for all you f***tards out there who still think otherwise, then you are too stupid to live.

Actually, let me take a detour to explain how believing that Roe will survive at this late point is even more moronic. All these states rushing to pass abortion restrictions only enhances the argument for SCOTUS to reverse Roe. One has to remember that justices love to look at what’s going on in the states — the “laboratories” of American democracy — to understand the tide of sentiment on the matter. And by “tide,” I mean just the conservative side of views, for we all live under conservative justices’ interpretation of law now. They will look to these red states where legislatures and governors are passing ever-increasing abortion restrictions to convince themselves that the citizens of those states know better how to regulate other women’s bodies. Of course, this is a circular logic trap that RepubliKKKlans are dying to spring on the rest of America. It works like this: A conservative super-majority SCOTUS has finally been formed, creating a block of justices who don’t have to act hastily to protect abortion rights. Consequently, they drag their feet on abortion lawsuits, allowing abortion bans to take effect while they enable the purposely slow wheels of justice to grind. Recall that abortions in Texas have been effectively banned for six months at this point — a Constitutionally protected right has been prohibited, and no one cares. In the meantime, RepubliKKKlan states feel emboldened to pass one restrictive abortion law after another to the point where such laws are no longer “novel.” Now, they have become “mainstream” because SCOTUS refuses to do anything, thereby encouraging more abortion bans. Yet, it is this same escalation of anti-abortion legislation that SCOTUS will point to as part of their justification to take away women’s rights to privacy. So, if you’re too stupid to see what’s happening, then do humanity a favor and self-abort yourselves!

Now I may return to my main point. Next will be laws establishing murder, attempted murder, and accessory to murder after Roe. Mark my words, morons! Oh, but RepubliKKKlans won’t stop there. As I have already said, red states will make it illegal to cross state lines to receive abortive healthcare, and RepubliKKKlans will undoubtedly go through extraordinary lengths to exercise their Gestapo state police powers. I can already foresee laws demanding access to a person’s medical records to verify if she had an abortion. This is just the beginning, morons. I don’t know how many times I have to keep repeating myself, but RepubliKKKlans want to turn America into a Russian satellite state, and no one cares — naturally. The rollback of people’s rights, especially minorities, has already begun, and the political reaction across the nation has been silence because of — inflation! Oh, well! Get ready, morons. This is what the death of democracy looks like. Welcome to stupid America. Dumber by the day, and the stupid cannot be undone!

Watch the Language, Mister!

According to The Hill, “Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Friday warned of a coming ‘Cold War’ between Florida and Georgia if Democratic candidate Stacey Abrams wins the gubernatorial election in the state. During a press conference in Gulf County, in Florida’s northwest, DeSantis referenced the ongoing Master’s Tournament in Georgia, using it as an apparent segue into discussing the state’s elections. DeSantis said he ‘really appreciates our Georgians’ but voters would have to ‘take care’ of the 2022 election to prevent Abrams from winning.”

Civil war is coming, folks! I don’t know how many f***ing times I have to say it or how much more proof I need to share. Granted, it’s not happening tomorrow, but I think it will happen within the next two presidential cycles. When you have the governor of a major state like Flordia basically threatening Georgian voters with a “Cold War” if they don’t vote right, then it is a serious, serious warning that political leaders are not only alluding to war outright — cold or otherwise — but thy are also willing to escalate the rhetoric. With DeSantis, in particular, the hatred toward fellow American citizens is more pronounced and alarming. Words matter, morons! RepubliKKKlans truly hate the other side. There is no mild contempt they hold for all the “others.” And for RepubliKKKlans, politics is either rule or be ruled, and they will not be ruled! Americans really need to wake the f*** up and start paying attention to the decline of America, for in the nation’s fracturing lies war! You don’t need a 50/50 split to warrant war. A 60/40 split works just as well. Welcome to stupid America!

Goalposts Have Not Moved

According to the brilliance of CNN, “Make no mistake: McConnell, in refusing to say whether he would hold hearings for any potential Supreme Court nominee in 2023 — which is not an election year — is seeking to, again, move the goalposts of how and when the Senate will confirm justices.” No, no! Once again, the MSM is full of idiots. McConnell’s goalposts remain precisely where they have always been for years: Whenever a Democrat is president and RepubliKKKlans control the Senate, then there will be no SCOTUS confirmations. Full stop! Since Obama, this has always been the case, so I have no idea why Chris Cillizza believes the situation has changed with McConnell’s “revelation.” Perhaps the morons in the MSM want to keep believing in the old traditions, the old ways, a civil RepubliKKKlan Party. So, f***ing G.D. stupid!

Look, f***tards. McConnell denied Merrick Garland’s confirmation on the rationalization that it was an election year, yet McConnell confirmed Amy Coney Barrett while people were voting (out traitor trump) in the 2020 election. So, what does that say? What should the idiot MSM have deduced from McConnell’s actions back then? Exactly what I just said: The goalposts have not changed; a RepubliKKKlan-control Senate will never confirm a SCOTUS nominee put forward by a Democratic president. Ugh! I can’t believe these professional journalists actually get paid for their “analysis” that yields the wrong conclusions. Oh! And, of course, no one cares, least of all Democrats! I live in stupid hell! Welcome to stupid America!

Confirmed: Justice Served

Al Drago for The New York Times

Now, this from The New York Times, “Overcoming a concerted effort by conservative Republicans to derail her nomination, Judge Jackson was confirmed on a 53-to-47 vote, with three Republicans joining all 50 members of the Democratic caucus in backing her.” Historic! Congratulations to Justice Jackson!

Of course, racist RepubliKKKlans Rand Paul and Aunt Lindsey Graham had to get their final digs in during roll call. First, Aunt Graham failed to wear the required tie to be present on the Senate floor, so he had to vote from an antechamber. Second, Paul held up the final vote count because they couldn’t find him; apparently, he forgot about the most historic SCOTUS confirmation in the nation’s existence! In short, both these douchebags had to showcase their contempt for Justice Jackson because they’re racists. And, naturally, dumbass Democrats had to indulge Paul! Instead of waiting for him to saunter into the chamber eventually, they could have closed the voting to cast his “no” vote. F*** that! She already had the majority to be confirmed. If he can’t be bothered to make sure he’s present by the time his name is called, then f*** him and his vote! But, oh no! Dumbass Democrats always have to place nice. God! F*** me! Why would they give him the satisfaction of being on the record as a vote against when, in truth, he should have been a no vote because he was not present. And we wonder why Democrats lose more often than they win; they have no idea how to play political hardball!

Sorry, Obama. It’s Too Late!

Reporting from CNN, “Former President Barack Obama spoke at length about the war in Ukraine on Wednesday, telling an audience in Chicago that the conflict is a ‘bracing reminder for democracies that had gotten flabby and confused and feckless around the stakes of things that we tended to take for granted,’ including the United States. That includes the ‘rule of law, freedom of press and conscience … independent judiciaries, making elections work in ways that are fair and free,’ Obama said during remarks at a forum hosted by the University of Chicago Institute of Politics and The Atlantic on disinformation. ‘We have gotten complacent. And I cannot guarantee that as a consequence of what has happened that we are shaking off that complacency,’ he said, adding, however, that he has been ‘encouraged’ by how the European nations have reacted to Russia’s ongoing, deadly invasion of Ukraine. Asked if he wishes he had done more about Russia during his administration, the former President said ‘the circumstances were different’ when Russia invaded Crimea, in part because European nations were far less interested in intervening.”

No, no! Democracies have not “gotten flabby”; they have atrophied. And, dare I say, they are incapable of recovering in large part because of the growing stupidity of humanity, especially Americans. There is a direct correlation — nay, cause and effect — between America’s inability to eschew misinformation while simultaneously embarrassing conspiracies (cause) and America’s move toward autocracy (effect). There has always been an understanding from America’s Founding Fathers that democracy required an engaged — not complacent — and educated — enlightened, not stupid — citizenry. “Enlighten the people generally, and tyranny and oppressions of body and mind will vanish like spirits at the dawn of day,” says Thomas Jefferson. Would you say America is engaged and enlightened? Clearly, not. Hence, the name of this blog.

I see the signs augmenting every day. For example, when QAnon becomes mainstream, evinced by QAnon kooks running for Congress and winning, then there is no recovery. It is a malignancy that has already infected every part of the country. America is incapable of rehabilitation; there is no cure. Once the cancer is this advanced, it cannot be remediated. As I have said before, once a cultist, always a cultist! That does not apply just to individuals! America is stupid, too stupid to keep its democracy. Mark my words! It’s too late.

Joe Scarbrough: ‘How Bad Democrats Are at Playing Politics’

No true words have ever been spoken. My God! There are days that I really have to believe Democrats are dumber than RepubliKKKlans. I’ve always known Democrats have been weak while showing a few, sporadic moments of strength, but all in all, they are a feckless bunch, and in this pivotal time in American history, when political ruthlessness is needed to save our country, we are stuck with dumbass Democrats. As I have said countless, countless times before, Biden is the intermission to the end of democracy. This administration is merely a speed bump when we had been hoping — I know, I hate the word hope — that by some miracle of God, Democrats would be the wall, but 2021 clearly evinced the futility of such daydreaming. Regrettably, in the end, Democrats always revert to their true selves: An incompetent political party that doesn’t understand the game. I’ve been saying from the start that Democrats keep acting like they have majority control of Congress. They! Do! Not! How many f***ing times do I have to say it? How long before dumbass Democrats actually understand this fact? I’m talking technically and realistically. May I remind Democrats and readers that there are 48 elected Democrats and two elected Independents in the Senate. Democrats are fortunate that the Independents (King and Sanders) caucus and usually vote with Democrats, but the fact remains that the Democratic Party is still unable to get 50 elected Democrats in the Senate. Then there are the DINOs, which are a whole other issue and present more of a roadblock than the Independents. So, Democrats really need to be — should have been — focused on getting more Democrats elected to Congress.

That brings me to my next point. Biden should have said from day one: Thank you for electing me, but it is not enough. I need more Democrats in elected office — everywhere and at every level, especially in Congress. He should have said that 50-50 is not a majority, and there is very little I can do with such a Senate, except confirming judges — something on which Democrats should be more focused. From the very beginning of his term, he should have tempered expectations because of not having said majority. Indeed, ideally, he needs a supermajority, but one pipe dream at a time. Then he should have immediately started campaigning for the midterms to achieve a true majority. But no! Instead, he and every other dumbass Democrat interrupted a 50-50 Senate as a mandate from the people. That is why we are exactly in the spot we’re in now: Biden is essentially no more popular than traitor trump. Then I am sadly reminded that Biden probably won more because of the anti-traitor trump vote than because of the pro-Biden vote. The question then becomes this: Are voters, especially Independents, willing to go back to traitor trump? Yes! Welcome to stupid America!
