Why Did America Bother Going to the Moon?

I saw this image as part of an article about traitor trump’s banking proposal on fossil fuels; the article states, “The proposed rule, which would put limitations on banks that try to exclude entire industries like oil and gas from financing, has garnered support from a number of Republican lawmakers who back fossil fuels while sparking criticism from libertarian-oriented organizations.” Still, RepubliKKKlans just love to back all the worst policies. They claim to be free-market supporters unless, of course, banks want to eschew business with certain industries. Then the government must step in to ensure oil and gas companies have the financial access to prosper and pollute. But I am more struck by the picture, which reminds me of those dual RepubliKKKlan hatreds of the Green New Deal and climate change as the tugboats guide a drilling rig through what I assume is pristine Alaskan waters with mountain wilderness in the background. It is a tortured juxtaposition. Every time these twin issues resurface in politics I wonder why did America bother going to the Moon?

Regarding the Green New Deal, one conservative critic from the Cato Institute states, “But even in some parallel universe where it was possible to implement an agenda that would replace the whole country’s energy supply with government financed renewables, refurbish every building to improve energy efficiency, eliminate gas burning cars, build extensive high‐​speed rail and cut the number of flights and cows to near zero, the cost would be astronomical.” The statement is, of course, an exaggeration, but hyperbolic assertions like eliminating cows are nothing new for brain dead conservatives to scare their brain dead believers. Needless to say, aspects of the Green New Deal are aspirational (eliminating cows is not one of them), but the goal of saving the planet is ambitious and dare I say necessary to human survival.

Again, I ask why did Americans support the expense to develop unknown technology for a dream to travel to a knowingly worthless hunk of rock orbiting Earth? By the standards of today’s RepubliKKKlans, going to the Moon would have been wasted money that the government is foolish to spend, especially since there is nothing profitable to gain. By their standards, we would have never gone, but as usual RepubliKKKlans, being the party of morons, always miss the greater point, purpose, and value of doing that which is hard.

We choose to go to the Moon. We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too. –JFK

Welcome to stupid America where saving the planet is controversial and too f***ing hard. I could go on about the virtues of the collective ambitions of Americans in the 1960s, but I think the contrast with the fecklessness of today’s politics is exceedingly self-evident. I can’t anymore with this stupid country. Don’t think Biden’s win fixed anything; it’s only slowed the bleeding, for as long as RepubliKKKlans continue to win in states, gain seats in the U.S. House, and keep a grip on the U.S. Senate then nothing will change. Whatever! I give up! America is going to be trump stupid forever.

I’m Regretting My Vote for Biden Already — F*** Me!

From Salon, “Unfortunately, Biden is living up to every stereotype of the quisling Democrat and taking this advice seriously. Reports suggest that in the interest of national ‘unity,’ Biden is discouraging the idea of prosecuting Trump. … This pattern — Republicans screw everything up and are allowed to get away with it in the name of ‘unity,’ and take that as permission to go even further the next time — has been playing out since Richard Nixon first snagged his post-Watergate pardon. … Of course not. And that’s the problem we’re facing. The ‘unity’ isn’t unity at all. It’s a fake unity in which one side — the side that did not cause the damage wrought by Trump or Bush or Reagan or Nixon — does all the work, while the other side keeps looking for new opportunities to cause trouble. If anything, conservatives grows ever bolder in their corruption, realizing they will never face consequences for their actions, and in fact can count on the left to clean up all their messes for them.”

The article goes on to prove the point by quoting Jonathan Mahler, “When President George H.W. Bush pardoned six Reagan White House officials who were involved in the Iran-contra affair, he warned of ‘a profoundly troubling development in the political and legal climate of our country: the criminalization of policy differences.’ Bush was sparing members of his own party. President Obama created what is perhaps an even more relevant precedent for Biden by choosing not to prosecute members of the George W. Bush administration who had authorized the unlawful torture of detainees; his nominee for attorney general, Eric Holder, used the very same phrase — the criminalization of policy differences — when the issue came up during a 2009 congressional hearing.”

Well-versed arguments like the above infuriate me all over again, and right on cue, Biden has been signaling his pusillanimous intentions to place unity over accountability. As usual, dumbass Democrats can’t chew gum and walk at the same time. Moreover, dumbass Democrats are too short-sighted to understand that another RepubliKKKlan administration that goes unpunished only encourages and emboldens the next criminal RepubliKKKlan administration and strengthens the resistance of the RepubliKKKlan Senate and soon to be RepubliKKKlan House (in two years). Whatever! I give up! Democrats come into office to clean up the f***ing mess left behind by RepubliKKKlans only to have voters kick them out of office once they put the economy back on track because you know — the RepubliKKKlans are “good for the economy,” nevermind that’s always Democrats that have to fix things. Welcome to stupid America! And I thought I would have little to write about with a traitor trump loss. The stupid is endless and everywhere! Democrats are weak, and that’s why they may have won the presidency but lost everywhere else — at the federal, state, and local levels. It never f***ing fails. Never! One step forward, two steps back.

All RepubliKKKlans Are Murderers!

From The Hill, “Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) is under attack from state and national Republicans over new restrictions in the state designed to blunt the rapid spread of the coronavirus.” Of course, as the pandemic worsens in stupid America — because America is all stupid all the m*****f***ing time — well-meaning Democratic leaders are trying their best to control the spread of SARS 2 and protect citizens, but they can’t because “FREEDOM!” F*** me! I am so f***ing G.D. sick of this “FREEDOM!” excuse as the country burns around us. RepubliKKKlans and their “FREEDOM!” are killing everyone! I cannot pray hard enough that every RepubliKKKlan dies — quickly! As usual, no one is taking this pandemic seriously because not enough people have died! Apparently, 250 thousand dead Americans are not enough. The stupid is never enough.

Dear RepubliKKKlans: Here is a “FREEDOM!” tip for you f***tards! Suck on your Second Amendment right and pull the m*****f***ing G.D. trigger! Please! You people are better off dead! Welcome to trump stupid America. Yeah, we’re f***ed and the stupid will never end!

Apparently, Rejoicing Is Premature

So…I firmly believed traitor trump would pull out a win because this is trump stupid America! Perhaps not as trump stupid as I thought, but there are several predictions about the election that I otherwise nailed! In no particular order, Democratic wins in Texas or Florida were, of course, a pipe dream of the highest G.D. m*****f***ing order, which further evinces that dumbass Democrats still have not f***ing clue about f***ing anything! In fact, the Biden win seems to suggest — no proves — he is the only one that knows what the f*** is going on in the country besides RepubliKKKlans. He ran on a center, center-left agenda and won; dumbass Democrats pulled too far left (or allowed themselves to be labeled as far left which is worse still) and lost House seats, although they held their own in the Senate, yet they certainly failed to regain the Senate as they had prognosticated. That was never going to happen. F*** me! Oh, by the way, Georgia wins for Democratic Senators is not going to happen, morons. Double mark my words on that! There was never going to be a Democratic blowout. Again, another pipe dream I easily predicted was never going to happen. Democrats really needed one but failed — as usual. Tom Perez needs to be fired because he failed. Full stop! If I have to hear him say that Democrats are going to take the Senate and gain seats in the House and win state legislatures one more f***ing time then I’m going to lose my f***ing G.D. mind. There is no way Democrats can have someone that delusional about the facts on the ground and continue in a position of leadership. Sorry! But he needs to f***ing go! Losers do not stay in power!

What else? Oh, yes! Traitor trump increased his popular vote by four to five million people to clinch the second-highest vote total (behind Biden) in history. So, needless to say, America is still infected with nearly 72 million MAGA morons and RepubliKKKlans and other various f***tards who need to be enrolled in a T4 program immediately because the incomprehensible stupidity is literally killing America. The stupid hurts! I have been saying for well over a year now that there is a hidden traitor trump voter that the opinion polls were not picking up, and the board misses by most pollsters certainly proves that is the case. People really are afraid to admit that they like traitor trump, but they are more than willing to vote for him anyway because they witnessed the last five years and decided they want more of that! OMG! I can’t with the stupid anymore. I just f***ing can’t. Why do these morons persist in living? Shouldn’t they be overdosing on heroin or losing to Russian roulette? I mean stupid is as stupid does! Thank God there are more of us than there are of them, which has always been the case. But, as I have said countless times, more often than not America is a nation where the minority ruling over the majority and the majority usually rolls over. Thank God the majority refused to roll over this time, but some did, for example, Latino men, which brings me to my next point.

Of course, as I rightly predicted, “changing demographics” is not going to save Democrats. That was made clear when Biden lost ground in Florida with the Latino male voter! Traitor trump gained and won the state by a wider margin compared to Clinton. So much for that pipe dream. Ugh! There is this cultural thing in the Latino community called machismo, and traitor trump is precisely that which Latino men respect and love. You’ll never hear pundits and commentators acknowledge it because they are oblivious to it and Latinos may not want to admit such a sexist and bigoted strain runs rampant in the Latino ethos. But it does.

Who else supported traitor trump in higher numbers? Oh, yeah! White women. So much for that white women “revolt.” Black men. Yup! Doubled in support from 2016 for whatever incomprehensible “reasoning.” Whatever! People love the hate! Plain and simple. Any excuses about the economy and taxes and America first are all lies. It’s all about the hate! Full! F***ing! Stop! All in all, traitor trump is more popular today after four years or destroying America and the disease is not going away. Welcome to stupid America. We are far from a cure!

Hitler Crowds: You Did This! (Yes, You, the One Reading This)

As an avid lover of history, I have always wondered how I would have behaved in crucial historical periods. If I were a youth in Nazi Germany, would I have been part of the Hitler Youth? As an adult, would I have been brainwashed by Hitler and the Nazis? Would I have had enough intellect not to be swept up in the tide of racist nationalism furor? Then came traitor trump. Every time I see these crowds, especially in the middle of a pandemic, it becomes clear to me that they are absolutely no different than the Nuremberg rallies of Nazi Germany. And I am disgusted! So, to answer my own questions: No! But not just, No! Hell f***ing, No! And I am relieved. But my relief comes with grave concern because this is the new America as evinced by the scenes below. It is a new America ushered in by you! Yes, you!

These people are the Brown Shirts; they are the traitor trump MAGA moron terrorists! This is not civil disobedience in the name of a righteous cause such as equal rights for everyone or anti-racism or BLM. No! This is domestic terrorism, pure and simple. And this is the new America! Get used to it morons because you did this! Yes, look in the mirror, idiot. All those who could not be bothered to vote in 2016, you did this! All those who voted for traitor trump because you thought he was a non-politician who could “shake things up” in Washington, you did this! All those who “took a chance” with traitor trump, you did this! Just remember when this country finally collapses into civil war, you did this! You brought this incurable infectious disease to America — the disease of the MAGA morons. Elections have consequences, f***tards! Your vote does matter. But whatever. I give up! You did this! Welcome to trump stupid America!

Welcome to the New America! Get Ready, F***tards!

Win, lose, or draw! This is the new America, morons! Hate is on full display and militias will be freely roaming the streets because this is trump stupid America. Sadly, liberals, progressives, and dumbass Democrats are all too weak to stop the hoards of MAGA morons that are never going away. Mark my words, idiots. All of America has been infected with the MAGA moron virus. There is no cure but death — the pathogen along with the host! America was lost four years ago and we are never going to get it back! All because people wanted to “shake up Washington” and others allowed the hostile takeover because neither Clinton nor traitor trump “did it” for them enough to bother to vote! I can’t with the stupid anymore. We deserve the government and the disaster we voted for (or by not voting at all). Welcome to stupid America. Still just as dumb and doomed today as it was four years ago.

It’s Not Enough, Morons!

Don’t be fooled, f***tards! Do! Not! Be! Fooled! Where ever Biden is ahead in key battleground states, namely Pennsylvania, the lead over traitor trump is not enough. I’m telling you people! It is not enough! I’ve said it time and time again. Unless Biden is up in the national polls by double-digits then he wins, but that’s not the case. Ahead by high single-digits is not enough to account for the silent majority of traitor trump supporters in just enough of all the right states — and they truly exist! Mark my words! It is not enough! And all these f***ing G.D. pipe dreams from dumbass Democrats about Florida, Texas, Georgia, and the like is so f***ing infuriating. Look, f***tards! How many f***ing times do I have to say it? How many times? Changing demographics is not going to f***ing save the Democratic Party, let alone democracy. Un-f***ing-believable. Here’ a perfect case in point to prove my theory: Latinos! They are allegedly a “gettable” minority for Democrats as they increase their percentage in the population because they are a younger cohort (Millenials and Gen Z), so naturally, they should be more liberal, as the “changing demographics” theory suggests. Yet, traitor trump is doing better with Latinos than Biden, who is underperforming Hillary in 2016. As NPR notes, “The Latino vote will be key across the country, especially in tight races in places such as Arizona and Florida. This year, Latinos make up the largest nonwhite eligible voting bloc in the country, and according to polls, Torres is a part of about or over a quarter of Latinos who view this president favorably, with some polls showing Trump doing slightly better among Latinos in 2020 than he did in 2016.”

Additionally, The Atlantic sums it up well, “For 30 years, political consultants have been predicting that in the next presidential election, a growing Latino electorate in the United States will finally awaken, sway the outcome, and usher in a new era of Latino political power. And for 30 years, they have been wrong. The 2020 election may prove no different. Again and again, political analysts have underestimated the diversity among American Latinos. Key segments of the community—specifically Cubans and younger U.S.-born Mexican Americans—support the Republican Party in numbers large enough to mitigate explosive new registration numbers among more Democratic-leaning Latinos. While Donald Trump has lagged behind Joe Biden in national polls, the president is faring better than he did in 2016 among some groups of Latino voters. Surveys in Florida last month showed Trump winning an overwhelming share of the Cuban American vote. Fortunately for Biden, the Democratic nominee still has time to fine-tune his tactics.”

This is going to be a close election and close enough for traitor trump to steal it! Mark my words. There is not going to be a landslide! When dumbass Democrats need a blowout election most, it will never happen! Democrats are not going to take back the Senate. And if, by some miracle of God, Biden wins then not having the Senate means four years of more gridlock because that’s what America does! In the age of partisanship, people still seem to think Democrats and RepubliKKKlans can (have the capacity to) work together. Morons of America seem to use the following logic when voting: “Oh, let’s split political control of the branches of government so no one party has all the power and nothing will get done!” And then Americans b*tch about how divided government doesn’t work! Ugh, I hate the stupid. It f***ing hurts! Whatever! I give up! We get the government we deserve — and traitor trump is the government stupid America deserves.

I close with the following basic truth: Given the state of the nation now, given that traitor trump has never been above water in his job approval, given traitor trump’s handling of SARS 2, given the number of people who have died from SARS 2 and did not have to die, given the rise of QAnon in the RepubliKKKlan party, given his impeachment, given that more people think the nation is going in the wrong direction, given all of his antics and behaviors, given the non-stop traitor trump reality show, given the non-stop schtick from a person in the most serious and demanding job in the world, given his abject stupidity — though I mind you he’s still slightly less stupid than the average MAGA moron thereby making him truly look like a stable genius in their eyes — given his disdain for democracy and love for dictatorships, given all these factors and many, many more I have no time to list, the race is still tight. The race is still close! How the f*** can this be? Therein lies the true essence and meaning of this race and America more generally. America is stuck on stupid and Americans are too dumb and apathetic to do anything about it. So, get ready for four more years! Welcome to trump stupid America! I give up! I can’t take the stupid anymore!

The Stupid Is Giving Me a Headache — In Only an Hour of Reading the Morning News

From CNN, “There was a chance for a strategic pivot by the President after he contracted Covid-19 that would have helped him shore up his flagging approval ratings on the handling of the virus [emphasis added].” Well, as usual, the MSM is stuck on full m*****f***ing G.D. stupid mode! Really? They are still writing about and expecting traitor trump to “pivot.” I can’t anymore with the stupid! Welcome to trump stupid America where people in the media won’t stop expecting traitor trump to pivot. He was never going to pivot and he is never going to pivot. But whatever! Kill me now!
