Old. Tired. I like bees and chickens. I don’t abide idiocy.

Cipolla’s 5 Laws Of Stupidity:
1. We underestimate the # of stupid people in the world.
2. The probability that a person is stupid is independent of any other characteristic.
3. Stupid people cause harm to others w/o any gain for, & at times, damaging themselves.
(Cont’d)
Anyway.

Was just thinking about the magnificent trifold Gilbert set I used to have.
There was a time when the adults in this country really trusted us not to blow the roof off the house. 😂

And, you people wonder why we can’t seem to get anyone to NOT think liberals are condescending fuckheads?

I’m not sure I understand what “fight” means in the context Liberals use it. March for it? Yell while wearing pussy hats for it? Sign wave for it? Because, where I’m from “fight” means you hit a motherfucker.
So, what are you asking me to do, SPECIFICALLY?
LISTEN to Barack Obama: The most important office in this democracy is the citizen.

These motherfuckers have no idea that one can just click over to Teh Googler and write: “Was the economy better when Trump left office or when Biden left office” and get a whole boat load of them fancy webbin’ sights to read.
Rick Scott: "When Trump left office in the beginning of '21, we had a great economy. The Biden administration and Democrats ruined it." 🙃🥴🙃🥴🙃🥴

But he was just on CNN talking about how great things are.

Republicans crow and beat their chests about participation trophies and winning/losing but are the biggest bunch of sore losing crybaby bitches this side of the cosmos.
Breaking News: Thousands of voters must verify their eligibility or have their ballots in the 2024 North Carolina Supreme Court race thrown out, a court ruled, a win for the Republican candidate who narrowly lost the election in November and challenged the result.
Appeals Court Orders Thousands of Voters to Verify Information in Contested N.C. Election
The ruling was a win for the Republican who narrowly lost a State Supreme Court race in November. The case has tested the boundaries of post-election litigation.

The thing that makes Obama such a masterful speaker is his command of nuance. Too many Democrats think it has to be all or nothing and forget that multiple things can hold true at once.
“The key point is this: Without this abuse of power, Trump could not be unleashing such havoc. In short, Trump’s lawlessness and his economic destruction are the same story: The former doesn’t just enable the latter; the two are inextricably entangled with each other.”
“Left-leaning economic populism does appear to be the way forward for Democrats. But it can’t be right that this diminishes the case for a full-throated party-wide indictment of Trump’s abuses of power and efforts to dismantle the rule of law.” newrepublic.com/article/1936...

Of course he’d look like a boy version of Laura Loomer.
Of course.
The North Carolina Court of Appeals has ordered that over 65,000 voters whose eligibility has been challenged by Republican candidate for the state Supreme Court, Jefferson Griffin, will be given 15 days to provide documentation to election workers showing they are able to vote.

What’s worse? Soon he’ll begin to operate the scheme that way because the lie will become his reality and then it really will be a mess of epic proportions.
Sure he shared a video that says he’s doing it on purpose. It’s been weeks of “Sir, are you doing this because you’re a stupid motherfucker or is there a plan?” lobbed at him.
His ego can’t take it. So, he’s now going to pretend this is all part of the plan.

Trump’s, Rubio’s, and JD’s panic reactions to China’s retaliation tells me this was NOT in their playbook. So, if crashing the economy was their goal, it wasn’t their goal to crash it *this* particular way.

The weak men are about to create hard times.
April 4, 2025 at 4:37 PM
SHUT THE FUCK UP, DONNY! YOU’RE OUT OF YOUR ELEMENT!
Caught off guard by China’s retaliation to his tariff, Trump fired off a furious response to the news that China is slapping 34% tariffs on all goods imported from the U.S.

“CHINA PLAYED IT WRONG, THEY PANICKED - THE ONE THING THEY CANNOT AFFORD TO DO!” he posted Friday morning.

Why I don’t give a fuck if Biden was senile:
1.) He cared about this country & its people.
2.) He cared about service people.
3.) He tried to do the best he could for the most people.
4.) He treated our allies w/ respect.
5.) He tried to leave the country better than he found it.

I’m caught somewhere between “I hope it doesn’t crash” and “it’ll guarantee the midterms”. 🫤

America+ . The shitty new subscription service to a poorly managed country.
Trump flashes a tacky gold card with himself on it he says he’ll be selling to rich immigrants first citizenship for $5 million
