Welcome to Stupid America!

I just watched a CNN interview with John Bolton. Usually, that guy is a neo-con extremist, but he said something about NATO’s support of Ukraine in its war against Russia’s illegal invasion that rang very true. He expressed dismay over NATO’s lack of a coherent plan to help Ukraine end the war, that debates over which military hardware to supply or not supply in a piecemeal fashion meant that partitioning and rationing of such systems diminished their collective effectiveness. In short, NATO is failing Ukraine’s efforts to end the war by not giving the country what it needs when it needs it. Bingo! It is a version of what I’ve been saying: NATO should have given Ukraine everything immediately instead of debating and negotiating what to send and when. The tank controversy is a prime example. Ukraine has been begging for tanks from day one, and it took NATO nations a year to finally acquiesce when they could have complied earlier, potentially allowing Ukraine to beat back Russia months ago. The same can be said for fighter jets and air defense systems. (And don’t let the “training” of Ukraine pilots as an excuse persuade you — it’s a stupid excuse.) This “just in time” method of supplying Ukraine has always been ridiculous and only nearly has not been a complete disaster. It likely caused the war to drag on longer than needed. NATO has been and continues to drag its feet, and this really only reinforces my initial intuition; NATO seems more intent on making sure Ukraine does not win outright for fear of angering Russia. NATO should be flooding the zone with everything much earlier.

Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) was a German philosopher, cultural critic, poet, philologist, and composer. His work has exerted a profound influence on contemporary philosophy, and he is among the most widely cited philosophers of all time. His work included a radical critique of religion, morality, contemporary culture, science, and society, along with related ideas such as nihilism and existentialism.

Nietzsche began his career as a philologist before turning to philosophy. He became the youngest person ever to hold the Chair of Classical Philology at the University of Basel in 1869 at the age of 24. However, he resigned from his teaching position in 1879 due to health problems.

Nietzsche’s major works include Thus Spoke Zarathustra (1883–1885), Beyond Good and Evil (1886), The Gay Science (1882), and On the Genealogy of Morality (1887). His writings have been translated into more than 20 languages and have influenced a wide range of thinkers, including Sigmund Freud, Jean-Paul Sartre, Martin Heidegger, Albert Camus, and Michel Foucault. Nietzsche’s most famous work is Thus Spoke Zarathustra, a book of aphorisms that was published in four parts between 1883 and 1885. In Zarathustra, Nietzsche presents his philosophy of the Übermensch, or “overman,” a new type of human being who is free from the constraints of traditional morality and religion.

Nietzsche’s philosophy is often characterized as a form of existentialism, which emphasizes the individual’s responsibility for creating their own meaning in life. Nietzsche’s philosophy is also often associated with nihilism, which is the belief that life has no inherent meaning or purpose. However, Nietzsche’s philosophy is more complex than either existentialism or nihilism. He argued that humans are not free to create their own meaning in a vacuum. Rather, they must create their own meaning within the context of a particular culture and history. He also argued that life does have some inherent meaning, even if it is not always easy to find. He also challenged many of the traditional assumptions of Western philosophy, such as the belief in a rational and ordered universe.

Nietzsche’s work has been highly influential in a wide range of fields, including philosophy, literature, psychology, and politics. He has been praised by some for his insights into the human condition and his critique of traditional morality. However, he has also been criticized for his elitism, his misogyny, and his apparent advocacy of violence. Nietzsche’s philosophy has been both praised and criticized. His critics have accused him of being a nihilist, an immoralist, and a madman. However, his supporters have argued that he is a profound thinker who has challenged us to think more deeply about the meaning of life.

Nietzsche’s work remains controversial today, but there is no doubt that he was one of the most important philosophers of the 19th century. His ideas have had a profound impact on our understanding of the world and our place in it.

Here are some of the key concepts in Nietzsche’s philosophy:

• The death of God: Nietzsche argued that the traditional belief in God is no longer tenable in the modern world. He believed that the death of God would lead to a crisis of meaning, as people would no longer have a transcendent source of values.
• The Übermensch: Nietzsche’s concept of the Übermensch is a new type of human being who is free from the constraints of traditional morality and religion. The Übermensch is a creator of values, rather than a follower of them.
• The will to power: Nietzsche believed that the will to power is the fundamental force in human nature. The will to power is the desire to dominate and control others.
• Eternal recurrence: Nietzsche’s concept of eternal recurrence is the idea that the universe is cyclical and that everything that has happened will happen again, an infinite number of times.

Here are some of Nietzsche’s most famous quotes:

• “God is dead.”
• “The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.”
• “What does not kill me makes me stronger.”
• “The truth is ugly. But beauty can be used to make ugliness more bearable.”
• “Life is a tragedy for those who feel, and a comedy for those who think.”

From CNN, “Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis is claiming credit for sending two planes carrying migrants to Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts Wednesday, according to a statement emailed to CNN by his office.” So, now every RepubliKKKlan is getting in on this stunt. They are walking all over Democrats, and dumbass Democrats are letting them. This is precisely why they keep coming off as weak and pathetic: RepubliKKKlans throw punches, and dumbass Democrats stand there like punching bags. I’ve commented on this before, and I am not judging the morality of relocating immigrants, but I am disgusted that RepubliKKKlans use these refugees as political pawns.

As I’ve said in a previous post, if dumbass Democrats knew how to play political hardball, then they would be charging all these bus drivers and airplane pilots with human trafficking, which is defined as “The recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision, or obtaining of a person for labor or services, through the use of force, fraud, or coercion for the purpose of subjection to involuntary servitude, peonage, debt bondage, or slavery. (22 U.S.C. § 7102(9)) (emphasis added).” Arguably, these immigrants are not being forced into involuntary servitude, although one could argue that being used as pawns is a form of service for political ends by RepuibliKKKlans. Nonetheless, as I have previously stated, arrest the traffickers first and let these bus drivers and pilots worry about exonerating themselves later. The purpose is to prevent red states from hiring people willing to transport refugees into blue states for fear of being arrested. But whatever! So f***ing weak. Welcome to stupid America.

As this dumping of refugees attracts headlines and commentary in the MSM, dumbass Democrats are still completely missing the point and political opportunity. They are letting RepubliKKKlans control the out-of-control-border narrative — again. How many f***ing times do I have to keep saying it? This is straight-up human trafficking. Full f***ing stop! I’ve only heard one MSM commentator call it as such. And that person was Joe Scarborough. Imagine that! A conservative actually understands that what these RepubliKKKlan politicians are doing is engaging in human trafficking. No one else has the balls and clarity of mind to say it.

Then from Axios, “Cabinet heads and White House officials will meet Friday morning to discuss a range of pressing immigration issues — including ‘litigation options’ to respond to GOP governors transporting unauthorized immigrants from the border to other parts of the country, according to planning documents viewed by Axios.” Ugh! WTF?!?! Seriously?!?! “Litigation options?” Christ-on-the-f***ing-Cross. I didn’t know there were litigation options against human traffickers. I would have thought the actions required by law are rather straightforward: Arrest the perpetrators.

While dumbass Democrats run around calling this shameful, a political ploy, inhuman, reckless, “un-American,” and blah, blah, blah — all of which is true — they are letting RepubliKKKlans get away with trafficking more humans, and dumbass Democrats are huddling, wondering what to do. Once again, they are caught off guard — as usual. The Biden administration needs to start publicly arresting the bus drivers and airplane pilots the second they arrive for human trafficking from day one! But no! Now it’s been countless bus loads, and Democrats are dithering. They need to fight fire with fire. But whatever. They won’t because they’re weak, so I guess they condone human trafficking after all. I give up. And I live in stupid hell. F***ing weak Democrats allow another political opportunity to slip by. They seem to nail some things (e.g., abortion rights), but most political advantages they usually muck up. And let’s face it: Abortion rights are the lowest of hanging fruit. I guess dumbass Democrats can either walk or chew gum, but not both, while RepubliKKKlans are chewing gum, dancing the jig, juggling, and throwing knives all at once. Welcome to stupid America!

In an interesting article from The Hill, “Once the nation’s largest and most volatile swing state, Florida has lurched to the right in recent years, becoming a mecca for the GOP’s most influential luminaries and wealthiest donors. … Republicans now hold supermajorities in the state legislature, and Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) has solidified his grip on the reins of political power in the state, turning Florida into a laboratory for conservative policy experiments. For the first time since Reconstruction, there’s not a single Democrat in statewide elected office. … Obama won Florida’s electoral votes for the second consecutive presidential election in 2012, nearly tying then-GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney for the state’s conservative-leaning Cuban American vote, and Florida was only becoming larger and more diverse. ‘It seemed like things were actually going the other way at one time,’ Aubrey Jewett, a political science professor at the University of Central Florida, said. ‘When Obama won the state, this seemed to be, at that time, confirmation of the ‘demography is destiny’ idea — as Florida gets less white, it’s going to be more Democratic [emphasis added].’”

This last point in the quote is what caught my eye because I’ve been saying this for years. Democrats who keep relying on Gen Z to save democracy are f***ing misguided idiots. It’s dangerous and just plain wrong to do. And once again, I point out the obvious: If each succeeding generation is supposed to be more progressive than the preceding ones, then America would be a f***ing G.D. utopia by now, but clearly, we are not. Demographics are not f***ing destiny, and I wish dumbass Democrats would stop relying on demographics to win elections; they just kinda rest on their laurels waiting for Gen Z to come of voting age. Un-f***ing-believable!

And let’s be honest about why Flori-DUH! has become the Mecca for RepubliKKKlans and conservativism. The explanation is simple and blunt. It’s the hate, stupid. Pure and simple. The state is the place that attracts haters of all stripes and colors — figuratively and literally. Do not think that such a high concentration of Latinos in the state automatically means they are progressive and accepting of liberal ideas. Far from it! Catholic Latinos are just as hateful as your typical redneck, especially against the LGBTQ community. This is why DeSantis can comfortably target that minority population for discrimination and become more popular in the state. Welcome to stupid America. Hate is widespread here like no other place in the world!

According to CNN, “With 97.95% of votes counted, state-run Anadolu news agency reported Erdogan had 49.34% of votes, compared to 44.99% for his main opponent, Kemal Kilicdaroglu – meaning neither could claim an outright win. The third candidate, Sinan Ogan, received 5.28% of votes, according to Anadolu, raising the possibility he could be a kingmaker in a runoff. He tweeted that a second vote is ‘quite possible,’ and that ‘Turkish nationalists and Ataturkists are in a key position for this election.’” So, now Erdogan and Kilicdaroglu go to a runoff election in two weeks, and Erdogan will win handily because that 5% Ogan won represents a far-right party — further to the right than Erdogan. Once again, autocracy will triumph while cloaked in the charade of democracy. Of course, this was utterly predictable and further demonstrates what many and I have been screaming about endlessly: Democracy is dying worldwide. To be clear, Turkey lost its democracy years ago, but these “elections” evince that Turks love autocracy. After all, it is a Muslim-majority country, and we all know Islam is anathema to liberal democratic governance. And it should go without saying, people heading to the ballot box to “elect” a dictator is not democracy. It is merely a dictatorship dressed up as a democracy. Erdogan could just as easily declare elections are no longer needed as he appoints himself leader for life, and citizens would just as effortlessly shrug their shoulds and allow it to happen.

One can only imagine what this enduring lifetime rule of Erdogan will do to NATO as he keeps cozying up to Putin and continues to block the accession of Sweden to NATO. How many times must I say it? We are in a new historical era — the Age of Autocracy whereby dictatorships are more popular than liberal democracies because people deep down love to be ruled, for democracy is hard. Thinking is hard. Participating in government to ensure freedoms are preserved is hard. Fighting to keep a democracy requires effort, which is hard. Oh, well. Welcome to stupid humanity! Get ready, f***tards! You’ve been warned.

According to CNN, “The University of Georgia’s football team has turned down an invitation to meet with President Joe Biden at the White House, and people are crazy mad. Or they’re very happy. … The Athens Banner-Herald reported that the team, in a statement on Tuesday, cited a scheduling conflict. … Georgia players and fans have criticized the White House for not inviting the Bulldogs to meet with the president last year when the team won the first of two successive national championships. (Covid protocols kept the White House from extending an invitation last year.) … The truth is, the whole sports-team-visits-White House ritual should probably be retired. Sadly, we – the people – can no longer handle it. We are too immature and too divided [emphasis added].”

Um, yes! This opinion writer nailed it. Americans are too immature, ergo stupid! It’s just that f***ing simple. Clearly, the football snubbed Biden. When the White House extends an invitation, then there is no such thing as a “scheduling conflict.” And clearly, the team is acting petulant because COVID prevented an invitation last year, not that Biden didn’t want to. If anything, the Biden schedule has to find time to invite a stupid G.D. football team to the White House as if he has no other more important matters to tend to, but still, they find time for these players to visit because, you know, sports! So, for those players who actually wanted to visit the White House, oh well. Apparently, their politically motivated coach had other more important signals to send. That said, who f***ing cares if they got invited or not? And, yes, morons of America are too stupid by getting hung up on this trivial B.S. It is what it is. So what? If sports teams want to make a political statement, then so be it. We get it, but that’s no reason to get upset over it. We see you! These conservative Southern coaches are precisely who we knew they were. Welcome to stupid America!

The Hill reports, “More than 3 million people watched Wednesday night’s town hall, early data from Nielsen Media Research showed, representing a more than 300 percent increase from a typical weeknight at 8 p.m. for a network consistently running behind Fox News and MSNBC. Yet CNN also found itself at the center of a political and media controversy after Trump steamrolled moderator Kaitlan Collins’s efforts to fact-check a series of false statements he made in front of a crowd that was vocally supportive of the Republican. ‘It was a total debacle and I’ve never been more ashamed to work at CNN,’ one prominent on-air talent at the network told The Hill on Thursday. ‘I don’t think anybody came out looking good. This is entirely a corporate and management failure. They should have anticipated how out of control Trump would be … to think he was going to act more presidential in that kind of setting is just naivety on a galactic scale.’”

It looks like CNN correctly predicted and anticipated the attention a traitor trump sh*tshow would draw. For all the criticism that CNN management is taking about their decision to televise a mini-rally for the chief insurrectionist, they bet people would tune in to watch what would be a Jerry Springer-like event, and, boy, were they right! Naturally. I’ve said this countless times: F***tard Americans just want to be entertained! Ancient Roman empowers understood the importance of placating the masses, and humanity has not progressed or matured one iota since! I’m not saying we should be all work and no play — far from it. But we should not be drawn into a spectacle for the sake of the spectacle, yet people are entertained by mindlessness, coarseness, and downright evil all too easily.

There is a reason CNN packed the audience with traitor trump supporters rather than actual “undecided” voters. No one in that audience was persuadable; they were all MAGA morons. Again, this was to enhance the extravaganza. Then there is this Kaitlan Collins person. She gets a ton of praise from her colleagues within CNN and other networks, and I have no f***ing clue why. She’s not that good, and, of course, she was going to get run over by traitor trump because she’s weak. If there is one thing he and MAGA morons like is an unfair fight between an alpha moron male and a woman, all the more to demonstrate RepubliKKKlans’ misogyny. Naturally — and predictably — traitor trump invoked his favorite pejorative attack by calling Collins a “nasty woman” to the audience’s cheer. She just took it, and I’ve heard no one from CNN defending her. But whatever! CNN got precisely what it wanted: Elevating traitor trump and ratings. The end is coming because Americans are still enthralled by the sh*tshow. Mark my words. People are bored with Biden, so they will gladly bring back the clown to finish off our democracy, so long as it’s entertaining. Welcome to stupid America!

CNN interviewed traitor trump in a town hall, and it was a predictable sh*tshow of whining, gripping, and complaining. I didn’t watch for obvious reasons, among them being that I understand he has not changed in any way, shape, or form, so there is no other reason to listen to traitor trump talk unless I were a MAGA moron, RepubliKKKlan, evil evangelical, or QAnon kook, which I will never be. I got the gist by watching clips and commentaries. And I have no f***ing clue why CNN entertained him. For ratings, but at what expense? They clearly damaged what little credibility they had left. CNN gave traitor a small megaphone to spew the same old lies and grievances, and Americans love it! Some people think traitor trump did himself no favors with his CNN performance. Wrong, wrong, wrong. This is the same unadulterated hateful moron that has not been on full display for the last two years and people miss him. Mark my words. I can’t wait for his poll numbers to rise afterward because America truly is as dumb as you think it is.

I promise you this is what Americans want. How many f***ing times must I say it? How many times? Traitor trump is the mirror held up to American society, and people fell in love with the reflection. They love to be lied to. They love the grievance. They love the hate. They love the b*tching. They love the stupidity. They love it all! Why do you think he is leading in the polls? (Ahead in even one poll is a problem.) Why do you think after four years of his disastrous governance traitor trump got 12 million more votes in 2020 than in 2016? Does America want another four years of what they saw last night? Hell f***ing yes! People want chaos. Americans are stupid and bored, apparently. Biden has not been entertaining enough; the polls show it. I think Jon Meacham stated it perfectly on Morning Joe today when he asked if there are enough people in enough states to care about the future of our democracy. He was not sure! And that really is the question, isn’t it? Are there enough people in enough states to avoid another traitor trump presidency? You know my answer already. Whatever. I live in stupid hell. The end is coming, and people have no f***ing clue, nor do they care. Welcome to stupid America.

The Hill has an intriguing headline: “Democrats have sinking feeling: Trump could beat Biden.” And then the article goes on to say, “Democrats are getting a sinking feeling when it comes to Donald Trump: They can see him winning again. … ‘There is a concern from a lot of people like me, for sure,’ said one prominent Democratic strategist. ‘There’s a disconnect between the consultant class of our party and the voters. They think they can just run a bunch of ads talking about how crazy Donald Trump is [and] that will be enough. That’s just not the case.’ Another strategist warned others in his party: ‘Be very f—ing worried.’… An ABC News/Washington Post poll this week found Trump leading Biden by 6 points, 45 percent to 39 percent, but Democratic operatives and even some Republicans have criticized the survey as an outlier, with many saying privately and publicly that the data appears inconsistent. Yet the ABC/Post poll isn’t the only one showing Trump with an edge. A Harvard-Harris poll from late last month placed Trump ahead of Biden by 5 points, while another by the Wall Street Journal gave Biden a smaller 3-percent lead. Last week, Democrats got another glimpse into the state of play: Trump and Biden in a dead heat. An Economist/YouGov poll put them each at 46 percent.”

Hmmm… Isn’t this what I’ve been saying all along? That more than one poll showed traitor trump besting Biden? And these are just recent polls. There have been other surveys since Biden’s inauguration that showed traitor trump ahead. So to all those idiot Democrats that keep thinking such polls are “outliers” or “flawed” or of no concern, I say this: Dumbass Democrats are asleep at the f***ing wheel — again! I have long said that RepubliKKKlans want to destroy America’s democracy, and dumbass Democrats are willing to help — or at the very least do nothing to stop them. Combine RepubliKKKlan authoritarian ruthlessness and Democratic fecklessness with a supremely stupid and apathetic electorate, and you get the end of democracy. It is absolutely incomprehensible to me — and maybe it shouldn’t be, given the level of stupidity in the country — that after everything Americans have experienced under traitor trump and his continued demonstration of abject incompetence and criminality, people would ever give him a second chance let alone a second look. Yet the polls indicate he’s favored to win despite everything Americans know. Traitor trump should never be ahead in any poll at any time — ever! And that even one poll shows traitor trump besting Biden should be a huge concern. Oh, well!

What could possibly cause people to prefer traitor trump over Biden? Easy. And I’ve been saying it for years now: Americans don’t want democracy or, at the very least, don’t care about democracy. Full f***ing stop! Democracy is hard and takes work to protect all the time. Electing Biden to try and fix traitor trump’s and RepubliKKKlans’ messes but then being willing to give back power to the seditious party when Biden and Democrats can’t fix the mess fast enough is not how to protect democracy. But whatever. I live in stupid f***ing hell. The end is coming, f***tards! Biden is merely the intermission to the final act of America’s democracy, and no one cares. People get the exact government they deserve and desire. I’ve been trying to warn you that the arc of the rise of authoritarianism and the diminishment of democracies worldwide is growing, and America is the bellwether that could accelerate the process! How many times must I keep repeating myself? It’s the economy stupid, and to hell with democracy if that’s the price to pay! Welcome to stupid America! The end is coming! Mark my words!
