Welcome to Stupid America!

Reporting from CNN, “Facebook-parent Meta said on Wednesday that it will restore former President Donald Trump’s accounts on Facebook and Instagram in the coming weeks, just over two years after suspending him in the wake of the January 6 Capitol attack. ‘Our determination is that the risk [to public safety] has sufficiently receded,’ Meta President of Global Affairs Nick Clegg said in a blog post. ‘As such, we will be reinstating Mr. Trump’s Facebook and Instagram accounts in the coming weeks. However, we are doing so with new guardrails in place to deter repeat offenses.’”

What!?!? I’m sorry, but what the actual f***?!?! “Sufficiently receded.” Are you f***ing kidding me? Seriously? Are these f***ing morons actually aware of world events? Oh, um, like maybe — perhaps — Brazil? Hello, f***tards of America! Why is this so f***ing difficult to understand: Facebook is the place where terrorists and insurrectionists come to gather and plot! And now they want to reinstate the head coup leader. Oh, but don’t worry, idiots of America! While Facebook claims on the one hand that the threat to America’s democracy as traitor trump returns to the platform has “receded,” they still feel the need to put “guardrails” in place. So, the threat is gone, but not really? Whatever! This is what a dying country looks like, idiots! Make no mistake! America is dying because Americans are just too f***ing stupid to apprehend anything other. Return to your social media accounts, morons! Nothing to see here! Welcome to stupid America! Dead country walking! No one cares!

Reporting from The New York Times, “Chancellor Olaf Scholz announced on Wednesday that Germany would send its Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine and allow other nations to send their own, relenting after weeks of domestic and international pressure to deliver armored vehicles aimed at helping Kyiv regain territory seized by Russia. The move came after U.S. officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said that the White House would announce as early as Wednesday that it would send M1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine, appearing to assuage Mr. Scholz’s reluctance to send tanks without Washington also doing so.”

Finally! F***ing finally! But let’s not kid ourselves: The road to this point has been complete and abject bullsh*t on behalf of both Germany and the U.S. This war that the terrorist state of Russia brought to Ukraine is not some junior high school dance where the boys are waiting for the girls to be the first ones on the dance floor and vice versa so that each is starting at one another and an empty dance space for the first hour. “No, you go first!” This kind of jejune mentality is costing Ukraine blood and treasure. Moreover, the U.S. now looks even more ridiculous because they’ve basically walked all over their initial “excuses” as to why they are not sending M1 Abrams tanks. Just last week, officials were arguing the American tank was not the “right” piece of hardware for Ukraine, that it is too complicated to operate, that it uses too much of the wrong fuel, and that it requires too much maintenance. Jesus-f***ing-Christ! If there is one thing many Americans have come to learn about our tanks — from our own military, nonetheless — is that the Abrams tank is, apparently, a piece of sh*t and should not be used in war. What the actual f***!?!? I guess all those disadvantages go out the window.

Then there was the fear that sending any tanks — and this has been the primary argument for the last 11 months — would escalate the war and “provoke” Russia. Are you f***ing kidding me with this sh*t? This reasoning has always been a bullsh*t excuse expressed by a supremely weak and deficient West. I’m not sure what the collective military brass has been thinking for the last several months, but when Russia rolled into Ukraine the first time in 2014 and then again in 2022, that was the escalation! Russia escalated the war, not the West or Ukraine. And I’m not sure what part of f***ing war offensive, counteroffensive, and defensive actions would not be considered a provocation. Every action in war is a provocation, or no one would be firing at each other. Un-f***ing-believe. I’m glad the West is finally coming around, but they’re late, and it’s still all a bit timid and underwhelming help. Once again, I will repeat myself: Russia has already declared war on the West. The next European war is already here you f***ing morons! The West is, as usual, willfully choosing to be ignorant and thereby putting off the eventual and unavoidable battle that must come to end the nation that is Russia in order to restore world peace! Whatever! F***ing weak!

According to The New York Times, “Two years after Britain left the European Union’s economic area, ending the ability of the bloc’s citizens to automatically work in Britain, the effects of Brexit are unfolding across the economy. One of the clearest is a shortfall of around 330,000 workers, mostly in less-skilled jobs, including transportation, retail and hospitality, according to the Center for European Reform and U.K. in a Changing Europe, two research institutes. That dearth of workers has hit the food and farming sectors particularly hard. Last year, 22 million pounds’ (about $27 million) worth of fruit and vegetables went unharvested, according to a survey by the National Farmers’ Union. In the survey, 40 percent of respondents said they had suffered crop losses, and more than half said they had cut back production.”

Oops! Referendums have consequences! Far be it from me to judge Briton’s judgment, but they really f***ed things up for their country with this Brexit mess. Like Americans, they were gullible enough to take the bait with Russian meddling in their national affairs. As with traitor trump, Russia ginned up national hatred to convince people to vote against their own best interest. You have to hand it to Russia: They know how to find the right marks! And you guys can never go back. Oh, well!

Writing from Rolling Stone, “Matthew Kacsmaryk could revoke the FDA’s approval of Mifepristone after anti-abortion groups filed a dubious lawsuit in Texas January 18, 2023. … It’s the kind of lawsuit that would normally be quickly dismissed, but the Amarillo division of the Northern District of Texas happens to be the judicial fiefdom of a zealous young Trump appointee whose most recent job was as deputy general counsel for a conservative Christian legal advocacy group like the one that filed the lawsuit. If he agrees with their arguments — and there is a real chance he may agree with their arguments — he could issue an injunction that would stop the distribution of the abortion pill, even in states with strong abortion protections like Vermont, California, and New York. … A 46-year-old father of five, Kacsmaryk was nominated by Donald Trump and confirmed by a slim majority of Republican senators in 2019, despite alarms raised about his writing (he once argued against same-sex marriage, no-fault divorce, birth control, abortion and sex outside of marriage — all in the same op-ed) and his work with First Liberty. At the time, the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights warned Kacsmaryk is a ‘culture warrior who[se] … record reveals a hostility to LGBT equality and to women’s health,’ adding ‘he would not be able to rule fairly and impartially in cases involving those issues.’”

Look, f***tards! This is going to happen. Mark my words, morons. There is a reason why all these lawsuits to restrict citizens’ rights start in Texas and Florida. Because they are the right-wing hotbed of hate in which the courts favor their causes. Without a doubt in my mind, this Texas judge will rule that the abortion pill is to be banned for whatever ridiculous legal reasoning, and I have no doubt an appeal to the very conservative 5th Circuit will only uphold this erroneous judgment. Then what? It goes to SCOTUS. We all know how that ends. But whatever. Can you imagine the backlash from the nation when this happens? Just imagine! There will be none. How do I know this? Look at the backlash over the daily gun violence. Enough said! No one cares.

Mark my words, f***tards. The theocratic state is already upon us, and no one will do a thing to change it because voters are f***ing morons and keep voting for RepubliKKKlans who inflict their morals upon the rest of the nation. This was all foreseen. All this was known. The religious right has been on a war path to outlaw abortions and control women’s bodies for decades. Now that they have won the fight, they will continue to strip more rights away from everybody, and people just don’t care. Elections have consequences. Oh, well. Welcome to stupid America. Always asleep at the wheel.

Let’s not pretend that voters don’t want the hellscape that is to come once they vote for RepubliKKKlans. It’s the f***ing G.D. mirror, morons! Look, f***tards! Americans, at the very least, don’t mind the hellscape if they think there is a chance to bring down inflation and curb crime. Never mind that RepubliKKKlans have failed to elucidate any plans to bring down inflation, and their solution for bringing down crime and supporting “the blue” is to flood the streets with more guns. But never mind any of that, so long as voters can be made fearful and perceive RepubliKKlans to be better equipped to handle said problems, then idiot Americas will vote for them. To hell with democracy. But whatever! This is the eventual, inevitable outcome of a supremely stupid population. Democracy cannot survive with such a f***tarded electorate. I’ve been warning about this for years. Oh, well. People are going to learn the hard way that democracy, once lost, cannot be regained and that capitalism in an authoritarian government works less well for even more people than it does in a democracy. Welcome to stupid America! The stupid cannot be undone, and just wait!

Classic! The HuffPost writes, “Former President Donald Trump awkwardly claimed he ‘didn’t know’ Silk, one half of the popular conservative duo Diamond & Silk, during a speech at her late sister Diamond’s memorial service on Saturday. … Trump made an appearance at the North Carolina service where — in addition to reflections on Diamond — he railed about inflation and gas prices as he listed a string of political grievances. … Trump concludes his moving eulogy to Diamond by saying the 2020 election was stolen from him, and Republicans have to get a lot tougher so they can swamp the Democrats in 2024 so they can fix the country.”

Of course, he did, which is exactly what the audience wanted. Why else would they have invited a shellfish, egotistical, and heartless “leader” to speak at a funeral? Because they actually wanted to hear his emotionally memorable moments with Diamond? Of course, not. You know, non-MAGA moron outsiders keep thinking people ask traitor trump to these events without understanding what he’s going to be like, that attendees are surprised when traitor trump delivers a eulogy wherein he spends more time talking about himself. This, naturally, is bullsh*t. These people know exactly what he’s going to say, and they all wait with bated breath, eager to hear him rant and rave, even at the expense of the dead. They love it! This is precisely why they voted for him. Welcome to stupid America!

Reporting from Deutsche Welle, “Germany would not stand in the way if Poland sent its German-made Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said on Sunday in an interview with French television LCI. If Poland were to go ahead and sent its Leopard 2 tanks without German approval, Baerbock said, ‘If we were asked we would not stand in the way.’… Germany has been under considerable pressure both to deliver Leopard 2 battle tanks to Ukraine and to allow other countries to send their German-made tanks to Ukrainian forces. But Berlin has been hesitant to send the highly advanced, Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine out of concern it could lead to a widening of the Russian war in Ukraine. Poland has repeatedly slammed Berlin over its hesitant stance. Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki told the national Polish PAP news agency, ‘Germany’s attitude is unacceptable. It has been almost a year since the war began. Innocent people are dying every day.’”

They are finally coming around, and so is France, but honestly, it’s a bit late, although it’s better than never. Not sure why humanity always waits until things get catastrophic before people wake up. And as for Germany being reluctant because of its past involvement in two world wars, I am befuddled why they cannot discern the starkly disparate moments in history. Germany started both World War I and World War II; Russia started this war on Ukraine. And German tanks rolling over Ukraine is by invitation of the Ukrainian government, not by invasion. For Germany to hesitate because of the optics and reminiscence of prior wars is ridiculous. No one believes Germany is the bad guy for helping Ukraine with war materiel. They’re only perceived as the bad guy for doing as little as they have.

According to CNN, “The man found dead inside a white cargo van after a standoff with police in Torrance, California, has been confirmed as the person suspected of carrying out a mass shooting in Monterey Park Saturday night, according to police. Huu Can Tran, 72, was pronounced dead at the scene following a self-inflicted gunshot wound, Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna said during a news conference Sunday afternoon.”

Well, it appears that the California shooting in Monterey Park was not domestic terrorism by white supremacists. No! Rather it was just the good old run-of-the-mill American domestic terrorism by gun violence, but this time it looks like senior citizens are getting in on the American phenomenon. Fan-f***ing-fastic. As I keep saying, many more lives would be saved if these people started their shooting sprees by turning the gun on themselves first instead of last. Only in stupid America!

As CNN reports, “There are some leaders who see faith and politics strictly as an either/or competition: You win by turning out your side and crushing the opposition. But the Rev. William J. Barber II, who has been called ‘the closest person we have to MLK’ in contemporary America, has refined a third mode of activism called ‘fusion politics.’ It creates political coalitions that often transcend the conservative vs. progressive binary. ‘There is a sleeping giant in America,’ Barber told CNN. ‘Poor and low-wealth folks now make up 30% of the electorate in every state and over 40% of the electorate in every state where the margin of victory for the presidency was less than 3%. If you could just get that many poor and low-wealth people to vote, they could fundamentally shift every election in the country.’”

Have you heard Rev. Barber give an interview on the MSM? I have many times, and this guy speaks faster than I can think! He does not speak glibly and what he says is thoroughly incisive. To be sure, he is wicked smart, but I must take issue with his notion that the poor are a sleeping giant that could impact politics in the manner he desires or believes. Shocking to most RepubliKKKlans, no doubt, is the fact that most of the poor in this country are white. By percentage, the Black community is, indeed, the poorest, but in absolute numbers, white folks are the most impoverished. Lest we forget, elections and votes are counted in absolute numbers, not by percentage.

That being said, if there is one driving characteristic among poor white folks it is this: Racism. Do you think poor whitey looks to rich whitey and curses them? No! The working white poor look at their Black neighbor or person on TV — now social media — and lament, why are they worse off or no better than that n****r? How do you think these people will vote if they are encouraged to do so? Not for a Democrat. They did that once for Obama! But never again because poor whitey was made no better off in the Obama years, despite him recusing the national economy, but these are small, troublesome details that no one remembers because, if you haven’t noticed, Obama was successful and — Black!

Nonetheless, this is how we got traitor trump, and we are still living in the first Black president backlash, a backlash that has now been made mainstream and a requirement for RepubliKKKlans to get elected. This, naturally, is nothing new in American politics. It has always been whitey versus Black, but in the decades following equal rights legislation of the 1960s, there has been a gradual weakening of race equality. In short, white supremacy is back in vogue in a way not seen since before the Civil War. I’ve recommended this book before, but it’s been a while, so I will remind readers of White Trash: The 400-Year Untold History of Class in America by Nancy Isenberg. It’s the racism, stupid! Welcome to America!
