I have often seen Democrats being chastised, lectured, even vilified for stating that Republican voters are stupid.
You think that we think you are dumber-than-dumb. And the
fact is WE DO think exactly that. We don’t call you brainless idiots in
order to be provocative. We don’t refer to you as dumb-asses because
we are determined to anger you. We don’t label you as mindless, low-IQ
voters in an effort to be divisive or combative.
We do it because the evidence is in – and it invariably points to the fact that you are every bit as undeniably stupid as we think you are.
The election of Donald Trump is the perfect case in point.
You were stupid enough to vote for a man who has always outsourced
all of his own manufacturing jobs, because you believed he would bring
YOUR outsourced job back.
You were stupid enough to listen to your “Christian” pastors when
they told you a thrice-married, self-proclaimed pussy-grabber is an
upstanding moral man, chosen by God himself to lead a nation.
You were stupid enough to think a man who tweets incoherent nonsense
was intelligent enough to run an incredibly complex government in an
increasingly complicated world.
You were stupid enough to support a man who stated outright that he intends to take your healthcare coverage away from you.
You were stupid enough to believe that a billionaire – who has never in his entire life done anything for anyone other than himself – had suddenly become a champion of those of you struggling to make ends meet.
You were stupid enough to elect a man who has a very long history
of cheating hard-working Americans – people like yourselves – out of
their fees for materials delivered, and services rendered.
We Democrats are not – contrary to your stupidly-held beliefs – all
over-educated Ph.D.s who sip $24 lattes between Mensa meetings. We are
not ‘elitists’ who spend our time looking down our noses at the less
educated, especially in view of the fact that many of us are no better
educated, nor financially well-off, than you are.
The difference between us is that we Democrats look beyond the
political rhetoric in order to find the facts, while you simply swallow
whatever bullshit is spewed by FOX-News, or Rush Limbaugh – even Alex
Jones. We have the common sense to know that in today’s world, those
facts are as close as a mouse-click away. We understand that the truth is out there, if only you have the minimal intellectual capacity it takes to find it.
So, yes, we DO think you’re stupid – because you are. You
demonstrate it daily. You are the people who think Obama was president
on 9/11, the people who believe that illegals working 12-hour days in
the fields are stealing your six-figure-per-annum jobs, the people who
believe that the Bowling Green Massacre actually happened.
What else are we to think, other than that you are unbelievably,
mind-bogglingly, beyond-all-imagining, STUPID? How are we supposed to
ignore your incredible, self-imposed ignorance? Why should we pretend
that people who are still complaining about Obama’s botched response to
Katrina (which happened more than three years before he was in
office) are anything more than dumber-than-dumb ignoramuses who lack the
necessary skill to interpret something as complicated as a calendar?
Look, the truth is YOU ARE STUPID. And what’s worse, you are
actually proud of being stupid. So don’t blame us for pointing out what
you yourselves have gone out of your way to make obvious. Don't wave
your stupidity around like a neon flag if you don't want anyone to
notice it. Don't regurgitate quotes from people proven to be liars if
you want to be perceived as people capable of independent thought - or
even common sense.
There is, of course, a way to stop being called stupid. You can always try NOT being stupid.
It’s so crazy, it just might work.

Things That Wouldn't Have Been Surprising For Trump To Do At His Fucked-Up Press Conference
Posted by Rude One
Donald Trump's press conference yesterday was so weird, so disconcerting, and so filled with lies and fantasies and violent imagery that it wouldn't have been surprising if...
1. Trump had presented the corpse of a man tortured and killed by ISIS and put on a ventriloquist act with the body as his Charlie McCarthy, asking it, "Do you wish President Obama had wiped out ISIS?" and making the bloodstained head nod and the lips move and, in an awful accent that would best be described as "a bad version of Achmed the Dead Terrorist," answered, "Yes, most wonderful and sexy Donald Trump. Only you can save us Christians from being boiled alive and having our heads cut off."
2. Trump had looked at the orthodox Jewish reporter from Ami magazine (motto: "What? You don't love Israel with your whole being, you shmendrik?") and said, "You wanna see how anti-Semitic I am? Watch this" and taken out his dick and a small knife and recircumsized himself, adding "You see that? Who loves the Jews more than me?" before throwing the piece of of his dick at the media and snarling, "Fake news!"
3. Trump had asked a black reporter if she is friends with members of the Congressional Black Caucus and that she should arrange a meeting for him with the CBC, as if the black woman was his secretary. (Oh, wait. He really did do that to April Ryan of the American Urban Radio Networks.)
4. Trump had said, "You wanna see how much I don't care about Russia?" and then phoned Vladimir Putin on his unsecured Android phone, asking, "Is your refrigerator running?" and awaiting an answer before adding, "Well, then you better catch it," hanging up, and telling the reporters, "See? You keep saying 'Trump loves Putin,' 'Trump loves Putin.' Would a man who is friends with Putin prank him so viciously? That's the best prank you ever saw, by the way" before whispering behind him, "Call and apologize, Bannon, now."
5. Trump had explained, "You know what uranium is, right? This thing called nuclear weapons like lots of things are done with uranium including some bad things." (Oh, wait. He really did says that, right after lying that Hillary Clinton "gave" Russia "20 percent of our uranium," as if the Secretary of State could just hand over a giant stockpile of an element.)
6. Trump had dropped his pants and taken a shit on a cardboard cutout of Hillary Clinton while sputtering about "306. You didn't expect me to get to 222, 250, but 306," shouting, "Greatest electoral victory" as he tried to squeeze out just a little more.
7. Trump had locked the doors, ordered a band to start playing "Rains of Castamere," and then watched while the reporters from Breitbart, Fox, CBN, and Gateway Pundit stabbed to death all the mainstream media, having Jim Acosta's throat cut last as he smirked and said, "Not so fake now."
8. Trump had claimed that he fired Michael Flynn as National Security Adviser even though Flynn's contact with Russia wasn't "wrong," according to Trump, but instead said Flynn was fired for lying to Vice President Mike Pence, even though Trump knew that Flynn had been lying to Pence two weeks before Pence found out, which would seem to mean that, by his own standard, Trump should fire himself. (Yeah, you guessed it. That clusterfuck of illogic really happened.)
9. Trump had jacked off silently and with his eyes closed for about twenty minutes in response to a question about leaks until he finally seemed to ejaculate as he proclaimed, "I don’t think there’s ever been a president elected who in this short period of time has done what we’ve done."
10. Trump had ranted and raved while saying that the press would say, "Donald Trump rants and raves at the press," while ranting that he wasn't ranting, as Republicans behind the scenes were pissing themselves at the display of ignorance, hate, and self-aggrandizement that was on display and the right-wing media and his supporters praised Trump's performance as the greatest thing in the history of anyone ever talking to the press ever and everything just got a little sadder as we head into President's Day weekend and think, "Are you fucking serious? Are you fucking serious?"

Top 5 Reasons YOU'RE AN IDIOT (For Supporting Trump)
By Stephen Radecki
This took me 3 months of impotent liberal rage, sweat and tears - So you better fucking like it.
Pay no attention to the poor audio, change of shirts, background, hair and lighting... or to the the fact that I'm Canadian and this doesn't really affect me in any way.
Some of my dialogue is lifted from Sam Harris and others.
**Ignore the part about the disabled reporter. Its not a valid point, HOWEVER, it does help demonstrate his immaturity as an adult.

Donald Chump: Just who the hell do you think you are?
BY LEONARD PITTS, JR.
Dear Mr. So-Called President:
So let me explain to you how this works.
You were elected as chief executive of the United States. I won’t belabor the fact that you won with a minority of the popular vote and a little help from your friends, FBI Director James Comey and Russian President Vladimir Putin. The bottom line is, you were elected.
And this does entitle you to certain things. You get your own airplane. You get free public housing. You get greeted with snappy salutes. And a band plays when you walk into the room.
But there is one thing to which your election does not entitle you. It does not entitle you to do whatever pops into your furry orange head without being called on it or, should it run afoul of the Constitution, without being blocked.
You and other members of the Fourth Reich seem to be having difficulty understanding this. Reports from Politico and elsewhere describe you as shocked that judges and lawmakers can delay or even stop you from doing things. Three weeks ago, your chief strategist, Steve Bannon, infamously declared that news media should “keep its mouth shut and just listen for a while.”
Just last Sunday, senior policy adviser Stephen Miller declared on CBS’ “Face The Nation” that “our opponents, the media and the whole world will soon see as we begin to take further actions, that the powers of the president to protect our country are very substantial and will not be questioned.”
What you do “will not be questioned?” Lord, have mercy. That’s the kind of statement that, in another time and place, would have been greeted with an out-thrust palm and a hearty “Sieg heil!”
Here in this time and place, however, it demands a different response:
Just who the hell do you think you are?
Meaning you and all the other trolls you have brought clambering up from under their bridges.
Maybe you didn’t notice, but this is the United States of America. Perhaps you’ve heard of it? Nation of laws, not of individuals? First Amendment? Freedom of the press? Any of that ringing a bell?
Let’s be brutally clear here. If you were a smart guy with unimpeachable integrity and a good heart who was enacting wise policies for the betterment of all humankind, you’d still be subject to sharp scrutiny from news media, oversight from Congress, restraint by the judiciary — and public opinion.
And you, of course, are none of those things. I know you have a fetish about strength. I know your pal Vladimir would never stand still for reporters and judges yapping at him.
I know, too, that you’re accustomed to being emperor of your own fiefdom. Must be nice. Your name on the wall, the paychecks, the side of the building. You tell people to make something happen, and it does. You yell at a problem, and it goes away. Nobody talks back. I can see how it would be hard to give that up.
But you did. You see, you’re no longer an emperor, Mr. So-Called President. You’re now what is called a “public servant” — in effect, an employee with 324 million bosses. And let me tell you something about those bosses. They’re unruly and loud, long accustomed to speaking their minds without fear or fetter. And they believe power must always answer to the people. That’s at the core of their identity.
Yet you and your coterie of cartoon autocrats think you’re going to cow them into silence and compliance by ordering them to shut up and obey? Well, as a freeborn American, I can answer that in two syllables flat.
Hell no.

'He will die in jail': Intelligence community ready to 'go nuclear' on Trump, senior source says
U.S. national security officials are reportedly ready to “go nuclear”
after Donald Trump’s latest attack on the intelligence
community.
In a series of tweets on Tuesday and Wednesday, Trump insisted that the “real scandal” was not that former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn lied about his contact with Russia. Instead, he blasted what he said were “un-American” leaks that led to Flynn’s ousting.

This is so messed up: Trump didn't win.
By C Moon
The election was a fraud.
Clinton should be President.
Yet the congress, senate, FBI, CIA won't do anything about it—even though we all know the truth.
Our country had a weak link, and Putin found it.
I think he found it by watching the GOP steal the 2000 and 2004 elections. I'm sure it goes deeper than that.
But to me the simple fact is: Trump was not elected—and the house and senate races were fucked with, as well.

Question to Trump Voters: Aren't You Just Embarrassed?
Posted by Rude One
You know, I was halfway through writing a big piece that boiled down to "What if Donald Trump was a raging liberal who promised to do all the things I want? Would I be just ashamed to support him at this point?" I stopped because it was all so, so fucking obvious.
But I really want to know from Trump voters: Does any of this embarrass you?
Any of the shit with Michael Flynn and Russia?
Any of the ridiculous things Trump says, like threatening to "destroy the career" of a state legislator?
Any of the ludicrous comments and promises he makes?
His complete lack of understanding of the way the government actually functions?
His complete lack of knowledge about the United States's relationships with other countries?
The disastrous and unnecessary military mission in Yemen?
The fact that he is literally doing the things he said he was going to do, like tearing families apart?
The demonstrable lies?
Does any of it make a dent with you?
I stopped, too, because I realized that it doesn't. And that reasoning with most Trump voters is like running a flea circus. You can fool people into thinking the fleas are doing tricks and acrobatics, but it's just fleas being fleas. Whatever frame you put on it, they're gonna do whatever the fuck they please.
Whenever we face the joke of a presidency we're forced to endure right now, we're not merely facing the pumpkin-headed doom goblin at the top. We're facing all of his supporters who are unmoved by any ethical lapse, any law broken at this point, even the Constitution itself. So we either have to write them off as a mad tribe that has taken over the temple and hope they orgy themselves to death or we have to reason with them, however terrible it might be to walk up to a group of convulsing idiots and ask them to listen to your insights you got from watching CNN.
The takeaway from the blog post was going to be that I'd like to think that I'd be embarrassed. I'd like to think that it would matter even if President Stumblefuck McBleedingheart was going to tax the wealthy more and rein in Wall Street and get rid of money in politics and spend shit-tons on infrastructure and alternate energies and make reversing climate change a top priority and attack poverty with education and jobs programs and on and on. If he was as dumbly evil and evilly dumb as Trump, I'd like to think I'd be able to say, "Yeah, but, holy fuckballs, man, can we just impeach him already?"
Shame is a powerful tool. We need to deploy it more and make Trump's ardent supporters feel like outcasts for denying reality.
