Idiocracy Watch

I recently read an article about possibly cross-national organizations because "the post-World War II rules-based international order appears to be collapsing." Can everyone please calm down and not wave the white flag to Trump? We can reverse stupid if we try. We can't if we just give up.

His memecoin buyers know exactly what they're getting in return -- nothing of value beyond some official act of Trump's, which benefits them, which he undertakes in response to the size of the bribe...I mean "memecoin purchase." The only things of value involved are the bribe and the quid pro quo.

So, a memecoin is a great bribery vehicle: it hardly has any function beyond speculation. It’s usually based on a viral joke or and worth only as much as online fans are willing to pay. The crucial ingredient is internet hype, enough to convince potential buyers that the price will keep going up.

Donald Trump's bribe-vehicle is self-described as a "memecoin." Isn't that a legitimate part of the crypto ecosystem? Not really -- it's inherently worthless. It's value is derived much like a ponzi scheme's -- from the next fool who falls for the worthless deal.

How Jon Stewart created Tucker Carlson The 2004 “Crossfire” spat became the blueprint for today's MAGA chaos

This is a must-read -- not because what it says about Carlson (though that's interesting too) -- but for what it says about his ever more odious audience:

Thanks to all the Republican voters in Tarrant County, TX who voted for the Democrat, Taylor Rehmet, in overwhelming numbers. I just want to say: hang in there. Will Dems do everything you want? No. Will they at times upset you? Yes. But they won't, as a matter of party policy, attack democracy.

If Tom Malinowski wants to win this election, he has to address the stock trading allegations. If he can't explain it thoroughly, he is not a viable candidate. And, no, "everyone in Congress does it" is not an acceptable explanation.

If you want to understand where the Trump/MAGA movement came from, research the German American Bund movement of the 1930s. The MAGA movement is a direct descendant of that one. Watch the documentary "Nazi Town, USA" (2024) on PBS (American Experience), YouTube (official PBS channel), or Apple TV.

So much stupidity oozes from Trump's brain that the run-of-the-mill dumbth from this guy is easily missed. In case you missed it, after this past weekend's snow, Trump once again questioned the reality of global warming. He remains too stupid to understand the difference between weather & climate.

Every one of Trump's stormtrooper's must be brought before a (restored) justice system to defend their unconstitutional actions. Trump can only become a dictator with their willing assistance. They ALL must be held accountable. Start photographing every and any one you see.

Well, it's going to be pretty embarrassing when Mr. MacDonald's first arrest is of Donald Trump, currently the biggest fraudster in America.

Hey, Trumpers: the Trump administration’s high-profile deployment of federal troops to six U.S. cities has cost taxpayers roughly $496 million through the end of December, and continued deployment could cost over $1 billion. Based on this, I expect grocery prices to start going down any day now.

Shocking that this dummy doesn't realize that the Trump Admin is exactly the situation that the Second Amendment was meant to remedy - a tyrannical government. These 2nd Amend. fetishists don't even understand the purpose of the right -- they just like to brandish guns to boost their low self-esteem

Alex Pretti was obviously murdered. The shooters must be tried and put in prison for more than 20 non-parole-able years, preferably for life without parole. The federal government is now actively involved in actual domestic terrrorism and murder. They must be stopped by any means necessary.

We can do without the fatalism. Let's get everyone out of the shark-infested waters and into the lifeboats first before we start complaining about the lack of drinking water. There are plenty of Dems actually trying to help and we can elect more of them. One step at a time without pre-complaining.

100% agree that ICE should be abolished. But can we start immediately by disarming them? They are clearly not qualified to make life and death decisions regarding the innocent people they are terrorizing.

I would rather fail trying to do good in this world than succeed at doing evil.

A fictional version of the Democratic Party that doesn't exist is still FAR better than the actual Republican Party.

Watch what you wish for -- Vance is worse. Trump was a bumbling fool most of his life and stumbled into an unexpected but irredeemably evil presidency. Vance, on the other hand, has been an immoral opportunist since birth. What type of person converts to Catholicism and then criticizes the Pope?!!!

What an ass. But he's only able to be a 24/7 ass because his poorly educated supporters allow it.

"Fla. Bar Clears Gaetz Despite US House Ethics Report"

The legal profession continues to be-clown itself as it fails again and again and again to police it's profession and disbar lawyers who violate the law and the constitution. Bondi, Blanche, Gaetz, Halligan...the list is endless. Disbar them.

Don't look now, but Trump still enjoys nearly 90% approval in the Republican party. Lots of sick people are not waking up and refuse to wake up. They like the chaos and the hatred.

It's startling how thoroughly Christian Nationalism rejects each and every one of the teachings of Christ. Jesus would be horrified by this bunch, who are primarily motivated by fear and hatred. Unfortunately, unlike in recent history, our Supreme Court is part of the problem, not the solution.

To all Democrats who own guns: let's start aggressively exercising our second amendment rights -- maybe that's how we finally get some sane gun control in this country (like there is in the rest of the world).

Pleasantly surprised to see all these Republicans suddenly in support of strict gun control, including limiting concealed carry. Immediately introduce legislation increasing gun control measures nationwide so this new Republican passion for restricting gun possession can help pass this into law!

Every Republican Senator and Representative -- indeed, every Republican politician anywhere -- hell, every Republican voter -- is an accomplice in the murder of Alex Pretti and all the murders that are yet to come at the hands of this lawless administration.

If the Founding Fathers were alive today, I imagine they would expect us to raise an armed militia, larger than any force ICE has in the state, to go to Minneapolis and forcibly remove or arrest these lawless ICE officers.

The situation in Minneapolis & anywhere else ICE is operating in this country is exactly the reason the 2nd Amendment was written. It was meant to give the citizens the means necessary to oppose an autocratic takeover of the country. Now is the time for all decent citizens to exercise these rights.

Another shooting in Minneapolis. The citizens there are bravely protesting against this lawless occupying force. Are we going to abandon our fellow citizens in Minneapolis who are protesting these neo-Nazi thugs? Or will we join them?
