Oh, never mind my previous post predicting a hung jury. After watching his testimony, the judge’s performance, and the prosecutor’s foibles, he’ll be acquitted on all the original felony charges (assuming no lesser included charges) because this is stupid America where we love our vigilantes all in the name of self-defense. (I’m going with an acquittal in 16 hours or less. Any takers?) Everything is self-defense! Boy goes looking for trouble while illegally possessing a firearm and he’s the one claiming self-defense. Eh, I expected nothing less. He’ll get away with it as all white male defendants do. I only hope that America explodes after such a verdict. I keep telling you morons that we are beyond the point of no return. There is no turning back or returning to “normal.” Traitor trump broke this country; the RepubliKKKlans and MAGA morons who voted for him and still support him want the country broken. A broken nation cannot stand. The only way is through — through a civil war. Mark my words, f***tards. Mark them well. Welcome to stupid America!
Biden’s Presidency and America’s Democracy Ended Last Night!
Biden’s presidency and America’s Democracy ended on Tuesday 2 November 2021 — only 9 months into office. Election results from last night were catastrophic — no, cataclysmic — for dumbass Democrats, even worse than I imagined — and I usually imagine the worst. So, just about everywhere the country has swung back hard conservative, and what will follow is a rollback of civil rights for minorities and the permanent entrenchment of RepubliKKKlans. Mark my words, morons. Swing voters may have elected Youngkin on matters of the economy, but what they’ll get are racist, anti-gay, and misogynistic policies because welcome to stupid America! Youngkin does not believe in marriage equality and he’s anti-choice, so he’ll manage the executive branch that way, not to mention Democrats are about to lose control of the Virginia House of Delegates. Given that the Virginia Senate is tied and the newly elected lieutenant governor will be casting tie-breaking votes in favor of RepubliKKKlams, they’ll start legislating their hate immediately and undo everything Democrats accomplished. Make no mistake, morons. These RepubliKKKlan wins are all about the culture wars. And don’t be confused by Black people voting RepubliKKKlan. They hate the gays. While White RepubliKKKlan voters hate the Blacks. Latino RepuibliKKKlans hate both. In 2020, it was “defund the police” and BLM. Those terms were turned into racist ideas by RepubliKKKlans and MAGA morons who said “all lives matter” and “blue lives matter.” This year it is critical race theory, which is not even coded, but plainly means that White snowflakes hate minorities and don’t want schools to enlighten their children that America is still very racist (and all the other -ists.) Full stop! End of story! One can tell we hit a nerve with America’s racist by the voter turnout and the election results.
But don’t worry. RepubliKKKlans in Virginia won’t stop there. Get ready for “voter integrity” legislation in Virginia that will enshrine the RepubliKKKlan majority ala Georgia, Texas, and Arizona. This is what people wanted by their vote, unwittingly or not. And this is what dumbass Democrats allowed to happen because they are the feckless party of morons, only slightly less benighted than their RepubliKKKlan counterparts at this point. Those 13 electoral college votes from Virginia in the next presidential election? Democrats can kiss them goodbye. As usual, dumbass Democrats just don’t f***ing get it! They just don’t. Democratic voters and politicians, alike, just never seem to grasp the danger of crazy RepubliKKKlans winning elections. How many times do I have to say it? How many f***ing times? Democrats need to be running on fear all the f***ing time because that’s what we need to counter RepubliKKKlans. F*** the hope-y, change-y sh*t! Democrats should fear the end of democracy! It seems every major win Democrats manage to achieve is by default — voters elect the lesser of two evils when put to the task. Otherwise, people simply default to RepubliKKKlans, and dumbass Democrats verily accept it with little to no resistance. They capitulate all too easily. And if I have to hear one more moron Democratic pundit talk about how Tuesday’s election results are a wake-up call, then I’m going to blow a m*****f***ing gasket. They always say that. Every f***ing time. After every shellacking, they call for the party to reflect, and then they turn around and learn nothing, do nothing, expect to lose more. Whatever! I give up! We deserve the government we get, and we’re on our way to authoritarianism because America is stupid and dumbass Democrats are worthless.
As for Biden’s agenda, it’s toast. The bipartisan infrastructure plan will pass, but the Build Back Better legislation is dead on arrival. There is no other way for Manchin to interrupt Democrats’ massive losses last night as anything other than a signal to put the breaks on everything. Don’t forget that Manchin is perfectly fine with not passing anything else related to Biden’s BBB agenda. So, dumbass Democrats will continue with their infighting and the legislation will collapse. Unfortunately, Biden is not strong enough nor does he have the political capital to force his party to enact his priorities. He should have done that months ago, but didn’t. And at this point, even if Democrats managed to pass his BBB agenda, I don’t think it will make any difference to the voters. Again, idiot Democratic pundits and politicians seem to think that all they have to do is pass legislation to regain voter confidence, but it’s too late. I fear the damage has already been done. It would have been effective if Democrats had pushed through Biden’s legislation out of the gate, but they didn’t. Clearly, Democratic control of the federal government helped the nation weather COVID — compared to the disastrous handling by traitor trump — but how did voters reward Biden’s success? Look to Virginia. But this is par for the course. Voters always punish Democrats for their successes. Witness the Affordable Care Act. This is no different. Democrat’s policies and COVID leadership got shots in arms, but what RepubliKKKlan message won out? Vaccines are a personal choice and masks are overkill. Never mind that these two things helped us survive the pandemic.
Moreover, the inflation issue is, in part, because of the economy’s success. It was easy for the world to turn off economic levers in an instant, but turning them back on is far more difficult. And when a society (America) comes roaring back from COVID to spend hoards of money they’ve been stockpiling for the last two years in an economy that has not fully reopened (think supply chain issues) then what happens? INFLATION! Too much money chasing too few products! That’s what happens! Has anyone noticed that the stock market is near all-time highs? These inflation pressures are a sign of a strong economy, ironically. No one was complaining about failing gas prices when people stopped driving during lockdowns. No one complained about how there was no inflation and some deflation (e.g., airfare and gas) during the worst of the pandemic, but now that things are improving quickly and resulting in higher prices as a reflection of shocks in the re-opening of global markets, everyone is in an uproar and b*tching! But whatever! I live in stupid hell! Stupid, stupid people everywhere who know knowing about economics or how the world works. It’s all Biden’s fault, naturally. There is a lot that Biden has f***ed up, but the economy is not one of them. Nonetheless, he just gets the blame, rightly or wrongly. About the only thing he could do is suggest to the Fed to stop quantitative easing, although Biden has no direct control — none — over the Fed. The problem is Democrats allow such perceptions to persist unchallenged and unabated. But I guess you can’t undo stupid and you can’t teach stupid, so Democrats are stuck because this is m*****f***ing G.D. stupid America!
Don’t get me started on what last night portends for the 2022 and 2024 elections, but I will finish on this thought. Many like to analyze election vicissitudes as a pendulum that swings back and forth between left and right, Democrats and RepubliKKKlans. I agree with that metaphor, but the real question is where the needle lands more often than not. Is it far-left or far-right? Center-left or center-right? What I can say is that the needle never occupies the blue space as long and as deep as it does the red space. While Democrats can wrangle the point of the pendulum to their side for a short time, it always swings back toward RepubliKKKlans sooner rather than later, and the needle always lands in deeper red territory each time. That, my friends, is the true nature of America. And that is why our democracy is dying. RepubliKKKlans — and the voters who give them power — really don’t believe in democracy anymore. Oh, well! Welcome to stupid America! The end is near. One lost state at a time.
The January 6 Committee and AG Garland Are a F***ing Joke
Reporting from CNN, “Members of the House select committee investigating January 6 are losing patience with the pace of talks with former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, and some are considering whether more aggressive steps are needed to force his compliance in the sweeping probe, multiple sources tell CNN. Meadows was first subpoenaed more than a month ago, and since then the committee has indicated he’s been ‘engaging’ in negotiations over the terms of his turning over documents and appearing for a deposition. But weeks after the committee granted Meadows a ‘short’ but indefinite postponement of the initial subpoena deadline, members are growing increasingly frustrated and contemplating when and how to ramp up the pressure.” As if no one saw this coming? Oh, yeah. Only dumbass Democrats didn’t see this coming. Of course, Meadows was never going to cooperate. His “engaging” is a stall tactic that idiot Democrats fell for just like Lucy with the football — again and always. It never f***ing fails! Democrats are weak, stupid, and incompetent. I have no faith they will get to the bottom of the domestic terrorist attack on the Capitol. These traitor trump enablers will stonewall, ignore, and flout the investigation, and Garland will do nothing. It’s been a week since the Bannon contempt charge was referred to the DOJ, and what’s happened? Nothing. The contempt case is pretty straightforward, so I have no idea why there is a delay to put the matter before a grand jury unless, of course, the Biden administration doesn’t care to enforce the law against a world-be traitor just because he’s a RepubliKKKlan. Meadows is looking at the Bannon situation and has concluded there are no consequences for ignoring a Congressional subpoena, and he would be absolutely right. This is the same playbook traitor trump has been using his entire life — delay, evade, and counter sue. Look where that got him: The presidency and still a free man walking! Because traitor trump knows that eventually the other side will give up and back down. So, whatever! I give up, too! What else is new? RepubliKKKlans get away with everything. Yeah, America is on borrowed time because dumbass Democrats are in power and will do nothing to protect the nation from domestic terrorists and RepubliKKKlans. Welcome to stupid America! We get the government we deserve.
So, Terry McAuliffe (and Democrats) Are Screwed
Very recent polls have McAuliffe and Youngkin either deadlocked or too close with less than a week before election day. Earlier this summer McAuliffe had a seven-point lead. Not to mention this was a state Biden won by 10 points and now his job approval is underwater. Clearly, momentum favors RepubliKKKlans — unbelievably. And I put more stock in momentum (the “mighty mo”) than in any other political measure because it energizes the ascending faction and demoralizes the descending faction. But maybe this momentum is less so unbelievable when viewed through the prism of a supremely stupid America. Then everything makes sense. Then, of course, dumbass Democrats are f***ing up what should be an easy win. Then, naturally, voters really do want traitor trump’s return to the White House — or people just don’t care. It is not hyperbolic for me to place such import on this gubernatorial election three years out from the next presidential election, for this real-time assessment of the Biden administration could easily be the mighty mo needed to place RepubliKKKlans and traitor trump on a path to recapture all branches of government in 2024. To be sure, a great deal can happen in three years, but we must consider this election sequentially and at the beginning of a set of cascading (not mutually exclusive) events. A RepubliKKKlan win in Virginia energizes the crazies, and that energy propels the midterm elections, which then energizes RepubliKKKlans in the next presidential election. All the while, Democrats grow more pessimistic and feckless. Like I’ve said countless times before, RepubliKKKlans are always enraged to vote about something; it’s just a matter of what level of rage they’re at — 11 or 100. On the other hand, dumbass Democrats are generally at a rage level of 0 to 3 and maybe up to 10 when traitor trump is on the ticket. Other than that, Democrats seem perfectly content to let RepubliKKKlans kill democracy. How many times must I tell dumbass Democrats? They need two or three issues that permanently — election in, election out; all the time, every day — enrage the Democratic base to match that of RepubliKKKlans, MAGA morons, QAnon, and evil evangelicals!
All that being said, I think McAuliffe is going to lose, and I was convinced of that, even more so, when I looked up his job approval during the last year on the job; it was 48% approval and 31% disapproval. Ugh. So, his current polling numbers are basically reflecting his ceiling from where he was four years ago. Fan-f***ing-tastic! It is not difficult to imagine that Independents, who will decide the election, could easily give Youngkin a shot at governing. That seems to be a pretty common and mindless “analysis” by many voters — let the other guy try it. Kill me now! Witness traitor trump’s 2016 win! Then there are the topics of the culture wars and inflation (the economy, stupid). As usual, RepubliKKKlans are exploiting outrage over fake issues like CRT in the classroom as evinced by the violence and stupidity at local school board meetings. And that’s all it takes. Remember, Americans are f***ing morons. They believe everything, especially baseless narratives and conspiracy theories. And, of course, snowflakes hate the truth, namely that America is a racist country (and all the other -ists that go with it). God forbid they should have to look in the mirror and remind themselves they love the traitor trump reflection after all! We see them for who they are.
And as for the economy, unfortunately, the people most impacted by — and vote based on — the complexities of the economy are those least capable of understanding it. So, the morons of America who are most affected by inflation are those least qualified to make judgments about or understand the causes of such economic vicissitudes. As a consequence, fairly or not, Biden and Democrats get the blame for the current inflationary period. The extent of economic theory comprehended by the average idiot goes no deeper than one spouting out “supply and demand!” While a bedrock concept of economics, people generally have no clue what they mean when they say such things. Morons probably don’t even realize they’re talking about how a supply curve intersects a demand curve, let alone which line generally slopes up and which slopes down and what the intersection of the lines represents — an equilibrium. No, they just say “supply and demand” imagining they are now economists! Moreover, most people can’t even properly explain what is inflation. People might say higher prices. Well, yeah. Congratulations you’ve defined the word with a version of the same word. Classic stupidity! Here is a learning moment for the future: Inflation means too many dollars chasing too few products. How and why there are too few products and too much money is the real key to understanding the economic phenomenon. But I digress. The point is this: There are many factors contributing to inflation — many of which are exogenous to America. Supply chain disruptions are a chief contributor. Yet, American morons seem more than confident in their economic “expertise” to wrongly blame Biden. More often than not, peoples’ experience is not caused by what they believe to be the impetus. In other words, people wrongly connect cause and effect; correlation is not causation! People still think traitor trump was a great businessman and the economy performs better under RepubliKKKlans compared to Democrats — both of which are demonstrably wrong! And don’t get me started on the fact that anti-vaxxers are part of the drag on the economy, which is definitely not Biden’s fault but every RepubliKKKlan and MAGA moron — the very same who are about to elect Youngkin as Virginia’s next governor. But whatever! I give up! Nonetheless, Carville has never been wrong when he’s asserted “the economy, stupid” as a primary political driver. I guess I never really understood until now that he may have meant it’s the stupid people who ultimately misjudge the causes and effects of the American economy where somehow RepubliKKKlans get the praise for a booming economy that isn’t and Democrats get blamed for a not booming economy that is. Welcome to stupid America where most people don’t understand the truly important stuff!
Don’t Worry, It’s All Smoke and Mirrors
From CNN, “[T]he fact that Bannon is going along with what appears to be a weak executive privilege argument made by Trump’s lawyers contains a warning for the future about even more autocratic behavior if the former President is able to get behind the Oval Office desk again. Which is why the January 6 committee doesn’t have much time to act. What is likely to be a prolonged and possibly inconclusive legal battle with Bannon could stretch right up until the midterm elections, when a possible new GOP House majority in January 2023 could just shut down the investigation before it has the chance to ink an official record for history on the outrage of January 6. As such, Bannon’s strategy looks a lot like an attempt to run out the clock. … Thompson, the Mississippi Democrat who chairs the January 6 select committee, made clear that his panel, which includes two Republicans, is trying to make an example of Bannon in taking the comparatively rare step of making a criminal referral to the Justice Department. … Bannon’s resistance does not render the committee toothless. Several other Trump acolytes, including ex-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and former Pentagon official Kash Patel, are ‘engaging’ with the committee — and the panel agreed to short postponements of their appearances — though it remains unclear if that contact amounts to any form of cooperation.”
Of course, everyone sees these shenanigans for exactly what they are, except members of the January 6 committee. Committee members kept reassuring the public that they are not going to put up with delays and recalcitrance. Members said they were not going to waste time and that they were serious. And that they would take decisive action when necessary. So, what happens with the first four difficult insurrectionist witnesses they subpoenaed? One says f*** you guys! And the other three get extra time to think about cooperating! Un-f***ing-believable! Whatever! Deadlines pass and nothing happens. I expected nothing less. This is why Congress has a 20 percent job approval rating.
Bannon is never going to testify, and, in fact, he will never be held accountable for defying a Congressional subpoena. As the article correctly reports, the criminal referral will go to the DOJ, and if AG Garland decides to prosecute — which is a big f***ing if — then the case will fall into the black hole of the legal system. Remember, Garland is petrified of politicizing the DOJ, especially if upholding the law does exactly that. No one is above the law, except RepubliKKKlans and, in particular, traitor trump. Kill me now!
As for the others — Meadows and Patel — they are “engaging” only as a means to delay. Hello, morons! Once again, dumbass Democrats are like Lucy and the m*****f***ing football with Charlie Brown. They’ve learned nothing. A “short postponement.” Ugh! I’m over it. Democrats just look weak, as usual. So, nothing is going to happen. This entire Select Committee is going to end up being one long frustrating exercise in “demanding” cooperation, but they will do nothing to enforce their oversight powers. There should be no negotiating with witnesses. If Congress subpoenas insurrectionist enablers, then the only option for people is to appear in front of the committee and testify. Full stop! Plead the Fifth if they want, but they need to be put in that position with no other alternative. Recall, traitor trump told his supporters that taking the Fifth assumes one is hiding criminal behavior, so let the public make that same judgment. Democrats must put witnesses on the spot — under oath! Let them squirm before the eyes of the world! Instead, these witnesses are going to negotiate themselves into a position of testifying to nothing of importance. Don’t think for a second that these RepubliKKKlan operatives have thought a few steps ahead, while dumbass Democrats are still Googling “inherent contempt.” Welcome to stupid America!
Yeah, We’re Screwed Sideways (x10)
The Daily Beast writes, “Fan-favorite guest James Carville returns to ask, ‘What is Merrick Garland doing by the way? I don’t think this man knows whether to wind his ass or scratch his watch’ while arguing that it’s time to lock up Steve Bannon on the way to locking up Donald Trump — ‘You can’t have the most famous person in the United States blatantly committing crimes.’… And Carville talks with Molly Jong-Fast about the ‘critically important … high stakes’ Virginia race — ‘This shit is hard but if you don’t do it I’m not exaggerating to say that they come back in power in 2024, you can kiss this democracy’s ass goodbye, it’s gone.’”
James Carville is a genius political strategist. During the 2020 election, when Georgia was too close to call for Biden, Carville was on MSNBC telling viewers (like me) to just relax. Biden was going to take the state. Naturally, I was thinking NFW! But sure enough, he was right. He’s been right about a great many things, the most famous of which was his “the economy, stupid” messaging during Bill Clinton’s presidential campaign. That basic (focused) understanding of people and politics helped get Clinton elected. He’s absolutely right about Virginia, too. That will be the bellwether for Democrats imploding in 2024 and the end of America’s democracy, or (perhaps) not. Obviously, I’ve been in the “America’s democracy is gone” camp, but anything is possible. Nonetheless, when Carville speaks, people should f***ing listen — carefully!
He’s also right about AG Garland! That man is a disaster for America. You know. I could not for the life of me figure out why RepubliKKKlan Senators allowed his confirmation to continue. I mean, there are many Biden nominations still on hold or have been torpedoed by RepubliKKKlan Senators. Surely, at the time of Garland’s nomination, I thought no RepubliKKKlan Senator would allow an AG nomination by a Democratic president to succeed because that would mean the AG could investigate everything about traitor trump and his administration. Surely, that will not happen. But it did happen rather quickly, in fact. And now I know why: Garland is weak and incompetent. RepubliKKKlans must have sensed that he was such a “by the book” institutionalist that he would never investigate traitor trump or any of his enablers for fear of making the DOJ political. You know — the exact opposite of what traitor trump did. And they were right! I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: The way to combat traitor trump is not simply a return to “normal” or to abide by convention and tradition. No! Those guidelines were destroyed over the last five years. Rather, it is to over-correct. That over-correction means going after traitor trump and all those around him — basically everyone in his administration and then many more. But, of course, that is never going to happen. Garland is clearly doing nothing to hold anyone accountable for destroying America during the traitor trump presidency. Jesus-f***ing-Christ! The Capitol insurrectionists are getting slaps on the wrist for trying to subvert the will of the people and the government. Thus, traitor trump will, like everything else in his life, gets away with it — and returns to the White House to boot. So, whatever! Welcome to trump stupid America. Biden is only the intermission before the end, morons. Mark my words!
States Getting More Red
According to The Hill, “A pastor and tax adviser will become the first Republican to represent Newton in the Iowa state House in decades after winning a special election Tuesday to fill a vacancy in a once ancestrally Democratic manufacturing hub that has moved to the right in recent years. … Dunwell is the second Republican to win a formerly Democratic-held legislative seat since President Biden took office, after a Republican won a state Senate seat in Connecticut over the summer.” These are red alarms going off unnoticed! Pay attention, morons! These are the insidious RepubliKKKlan wins that dumbass Democrats ignore at the peril of losing America’s democracy. This is how RepubliKKKlans have gained too much power in so many states. Dumbass Democrats are clueless and not taking state-level elections seriously. F***! I’m getting really, really sick of Democrats losing any seat, anywhere in the country. We! Are! Losing! The! War! Morons! Only in America where registered Democrats outnumber RepubliKKKlans nationwide (assuming Independents split their vote equally), does the majority live under mostly RepubliKKKlan rule. Wake the f*** up! Welcome to stupid America.
Yeah, We’re Screwed Sideways
From Politico, “In a focus group last week, Pennsylvania Democrats one after another articulated the issue vexing top White House aides, party operatives in Virginia and voters in Georgia: Why isn’t President Joe Biden’s diminished job rating rebounding? All nine participants from Tuesday’s session gave Biden C- grades or lower. And their answers circled back to a similar point: The pandemic and the many ways it continues to hinder normal life is souring their views of Biden. One woman said she wanted to buy a car but supply chain issues were delaying new shipments to the dealership. A man complained about understaffed restaurants [emphasis added].” Lord knows I’ve soured on Biden, but his handling of the pandemic is the least of my criticisms about him. And, I guess, it should come as no surprise that idiots of America are blaming Biden for consequences that are completely out of his control (e.g. inflation), which the emphasized portion of the quote above evinces. I was particularly struck by the examples of these morons’ criticisms. (I assume the article quotes these people for their germane representation of voters’ feelings.) Clearly, the disruption in the global supply chain is Biden’s fault and, clearly, the staffing shortage at one’s parochial restaurant is also his fault. These are the things people b*tch about? Seriously!?!? Truly, if extra wait time at a restaurant is at the top of your b*tch list, then guess what? The pandemic for all intents and purposes is over for you! I’m not sure why these f***tards are not blaming the anti-vaxxers, MAGA morons, and RepubliKKKlans for destroying the economic recovery. Biden said this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated, and he’s absolutely correct. But since the unvaccinated live (sadly) among us, they are ruining the chances for America to get past COVID more quickly than we are currently. They are to blame, not Biden. And that’s not even a perception thing; that is a reality thing. This malaise people are feeling toward the pandemic is the fault of these morons. Anti-vaxxers, MAGA morons, and RepubliKKKlans are the problem with the pandemic, not Biden. For example, f***tard Governor Abbott of Texas is actively preventing progress by forbidding vaccination mandates by all “entities” in the state. So, in short, the “small government” — keep government out of my business — RepubliKKKlans are criminalizing private businesses for their actions to protect their employees and their customers. Whatever. I give up. And I digress.
The only legitimate criticism about Biden’s handling of COVID is that he spent too much time asking people to do the right thing by getting vaccinated. Instead, he should have, from the start, demanded it and ordered it in the domains where he has authority. He wasted too much time being nice and believing 40 percent of the country (aka MAGA morons and RepubliKKKlans) actually wants what’s best for the rest of the nation. If anything, be critical of Biden for being so f***ing naive. But whatever. We are screwed if the average dumbass Democratic voter can’t discern appropriate cause and effect. I live in stupid hell. Welcome to stupid America!
I Find It Rich
I find it rich that a black man is bigoted against another minority class of people with immutable characteristics. Oh, well. A bigot is going to bigot. Maybe some people should have never been released from their chains. I will also say this. The LGBTQ community needs to start rising up and not in an empathetic “can’t we all just get along?” sense. Nor in an educational, persuasive sense. No, no. There are haters in America who are gaining power and influence that need to be silenced, lest we are forced back into the closet as it becomes open season on the gays. Mark my words, morons. The gays are in the crosshairs of the culture wars and everything we’ve won can be reversed — just ask pregnant women in Texas. Welcome to stupid America! No one is taking the RepubliKKKlan and MAGA moron threat to America’s democracy seriously! Whatever! No one cares. Everyone, return to your social media feed because that’s where reality lives — apparently.
Playing with Fire!
From Morning Consult, “The high-stakes standoff between Democrats and Republicans in Washington on a potential national debt default could have ruinous consequences for the financial system. It’s also likely to tick a lot of voters off. This time, at least, a plurality of voters would hold both parties in Washington equally responsible for a default on the national debt, according to a new Morning Consult/Politico poll. Beyond that 39 percent share who’d blame both parties, more voters would assign blame to Democrats (31 percent) than Republicans (20 percent). That’s largely on par with results from the same question last week, although the share that would blame Republicans ticked up 4 percentage points from 16 percent.” I am not prognosticating the final outcome of this debt ceiling mess. My guess would be if America did default it is because we stumbled into it during negotiations or in the middle of the legislative process. May I remind the reader that the deadline is an estimate! America could run out of money a bit sooner and it could be later. No one knows for certain!
If this were any other matter, then I would be applauding Democrats for finally standing up to RepubliKKKlans and for taking a strong position at last. I would cheer them on for finally playing hardball, but this is the wrong game. Nonetheless, where Democrats succeed in strength they seem to fail in cognition. Of course, they can never be both simultaneously. It’s usually thoughtfulness at the expense of strength, but not this time.
Here is the problem: Dumbass Democrats are underestimating RepubliKKKlans’ nihilism and overestimating voters’ intelligence. What else is new in America? Schumer — that frustrating f***tard — repeatedly stands on the Senate floor lecturing McConnell and RepubliKKKlans in an attempt to shame them. I swear to f***ing God! If I have to listen to Schumer cry “shame! shame! shame!” on RepubliKKKlans one more f***ing time for anything, then I’m going to reach through my laptop and strangle the idiot. OMG. RepubliKKKlans cannot be shamed! Ever! You can’t guilt them! Ever! Yet, dumbass Democrats keep trying to score some political points by calling them shameful, irresponsible, reckless, and hypocrites. Hello, Democratic morons. These are all attributes RepubliKKKlans embrace and enjoy. Such pejoratives are completely lost on them. Thus, Democrats underestimate RepubliKKKlans’ ability to have a conscience. They also underestimate RepubliKKKlans’ indifference to destroy the economy; they want the economy to tank under Biden and Democrats. The worse and the longer the economic disaster the more RepubliKKKlans believe it will help them win in 2022 and 2024. And they would be right to believe that because, as the Morning Consult articles evinces, voters will blame Democrats more than RepubliKKKlans, which brings me to my next point.
American voters are f***ing morons and dumbass Democrats keep overestimating voters’ capacity to reason and understand the maneuvers of the government under which they live. The optics for the average voter is pretty simplistic: Democrats control the White House, the House (barely), and the Senate (even more barely); ergo, they control everything — from the functioning of state governments to the American economy to the price of gas to local weather — which, of course, is not even close to reality, but since when have voters ever let reality inform their political judgment? Never! Recall, traitor trump was elected (and captured 10 million more votes in 2020) based on a personality built on a sham; his entire presidency was a con, so people vote for the unreal all the f***ing time. This is the truth that Democrats are trying to explain to voters, which is like trying to explain Shakespeare to monkeys: RepubliKKKlans would rather actively block Democrats from raising the debt ceiling than simply get out of the way for Democrats to vote. The key is the use of unanimous consent in regular order in the Senate — this entire issue is a Senate problem. These are rather fundamental concepts that moronic voters should understand about their government but would prefer not, for whatever reasons. Regular order simply means that the Senate will abide by the usual rules to debate and pass legislation. Unanimous consent is a process of “inverse” voting. I say inverse because in my mind is it. Normally, people would vote to pass something, but with unanimous consent, the assumption is a vote passes, unless one person votes to oppose. In other words, one person can object and the motion dies instead of the usual majority or supermajority threshold for passage. When legislators ask for unanimous consent, they are basically asking for everyone to nod and move on. But RepubliKKKlans won’t allow that — specifically to end debate (cloture) over a bill to raise the debt ceiling. Thus, they are actively voting to stop progress and actively putting the economy in danger. RepubliKKKlans could agree to unanimous consent and not vote for the bill as they keep threatening; they could just let all Democrats vote to pass the legislation and let Democrats take the “blame,” while keeping their voting record clean, but no. RepubliKKKlans are economic terrorists and they want chaos, just like their leader, traitor trump. This all comes back full circle. Of course, this is all legislative nuance that dumbass Democrats think voters are dutifully following and discerning, which, of course, they are not.
All that being said, what Democrats should have done is take McConnell at his word from the being — months ago — instead of trying to call his bluff this close to the deadline. They should have passed debt limit legislation through the reconciliation process over the summer, especially when Biden was living out a string of disastrous foreign policy decisions. At the very least, Democrats could have claimed they single-handedly saved the economy from obstructionist RepubliKKKlans and their ruinous economic terrorism. At this point, Democrats are running a huge risk that could seal RepubliKKKlan dominance for a decade to come because I promise you there is only one thing all voters are going to remember if America defaults on its debt: It happened under Democrats’ watch. Full stop! No ambiguity. No confusion. No subtlety. Consequently, Democrats will reinforce the canard that RepubliKKKlans are better for the economy, which is another persistent myth that f***tard voters of America seem to believe unquestionably year after year and one RepubliKKKlan recession (Bush I) after another RepubliKKKlan recession (Bush II) after another RepubliKKKlan recession (traitor trump). But whatever! I give up! Welcome to stupid America! The house is on fire — right now!
Apparently, to be continued until December…
