The Week In Stupid (April 28-May 4)

Some of The White House Occupant’s shameless sycophants have suggested that maybe he should be the next Pope. Since it’s often impossible to know when these people are serious and when they’re just “trolling the libs”, we won’t mention any specific names here. But the WHO himself did post an AI image of himself in pope regalia — even as the Vatican mourned the death of Pope Francis.

They definitely are serious, however (despite his occasional claims to be “just joking”) about schemes to keep him in the White House permanently. A host at Newsmax commented that the 22nd Amendment might even be “unconstitutional” and that such petty laws limiting his power are part of a plot by the “deep state”.

Nonetheless, writing for Tangle, pundit Isaac Saul (who normally seems to have a good head on his shoulders) is convinced that other GOPers would never stand for such a thing: “I know many Republicans are acquiescing to him right now, but this is a bright red line I’m certain many wouldn’t cross.” He’s serious. After all he’s seen, he honestly believes that there are lines Republicans won’t cross.

Meanwhile, pundit Jim Garlow offers his own assessment of the WHO’s superhuman prowess, and the superhuman prowess of the gang of idiots gravitating to him: “I have NEVER EVER seen a cabinet assembled by a president anything close to what President T—p has done. I have been listening to the Cabinet Meeting for the 90 minutes or so. THIS IS ASTOUNDING. WHAT TALENT, SKILL, AND ANOINTING! Remarkable.” Anointing???

Maybe he’s angling for a spot on the cabinet himself. He’s already exhibited the unrestrained ass-kissing that is the only requirement. Then he could participate in the worshipful cabinet meetings, such as recently was enacted for the cameras, with the cabinet assembled displaying their brand new “Gulf Of America” caps they’d just been issued, and each in turn heaping the most lavish praise upon Dear Leader that they could possibly dredge up from the bowels of their imaginations. And of course they trashed President Biden in the process. In fact, J.D. Vance, vying for the title of Chief Ass Kisser, even noted that most of Dear Leader’s predecessors were mere “placeholders” compared to him.

Fox “News”, also trying no doubt to cough up more cabinet members, also strained to offer the greatest achievements of the the first 100 days. And what did they come up with? He “declassified the JFK files, ended federal support for paper straws, and ended production of the penny.” I don’t know about you, but I feel so much safer and more prosperous without those pennies and paper straws.

Speaking of cabinet, you already knew that RFK Jr. would make the grade again this week, didn’t you? There seems to be some kind of law that he must. His latest contribution: “The MMR vaccine contains a lot of aborted fetus debris.”

But Dear Leader himself several times tacitly admitted that he was a bit less than divinely perfect. When asked whether he is bound to adhere to the constitution that he recently swore an oath to uphold, he replied, “I don’t know. I’m not, I’m not a lawyer. I don’t know. ” What, you don’t have any knowledge of the law? Now you tell us.

He also acknowledged that his big beautiful perfect tariffs might cause Americans some pain, but countered that they can just suck it up in the name of patriotic worship of His Lordship. Even the kids. “I’m just saying they don’t need to have 30 dolls. They can have three. They don’t need to have 250 pencils. They can have five.” Let them eat graphite.

And announcing his plan to continue his usual pattern of renaming things to gratify his ego, this time Veterans Day and Memorial Day, he let a Freudian Slip slip: “That’s because we don’t have leaders anymore…”

The Superintendent of Schools in Oklahoma has decreed that high school textbooks in his state must start promoting the lie that the 2020 election was tainted by fraud. This, he assures us, is necessary to encourage “independent thinking”.

A Minnesota woman hurled racist insults at a black child she encountered in a park. About as stupid as you can get, right? Nope. The video went viral with an outpouring of support from fellow racists. So surely that takes the cake, eh? Well… no. When confronted about her behavior and asked whether she thinks it was justified to call the kid a racist epithet, she replied, “If that’s what he’s going to act like.” So there you have it. The pinnacle of stupidity, yes? Hold her beer. She then posted a request for donations on a fundraising page, claiming that she felt threatened because of her own behavior. Okay, now you can’t possibly get any worse than that, right? Um… almost immediately, the page raised more than $600,000 for her.
