Dear friends,

As you may have noticed, I’ve been slacking off lately on this “Week In Stupid” feature. It isn’t because there’s a shortage of stupid out there. Quite the contrary. Stupid still reigns. And reins. And rains, in barrelfuls and barrelfuls.

The truth is, I’ve become so drenched in it that sometimes I feel like I just have to take a break and dry off. So I haven’t gone out looking for it lately. But some of it manages to find me anyway. There’s just no escaping from it. So here’s a small sampling of what’s flooded under my door in recent days.

J D Vance. Oh my fucking god, J D Vance. There’s absolutely no end to the number of things he can do very, very badly. Looks like one of them is using metaphors. In addressing how the economy is still sputtering after more than a year of this regime, he insisted that “you don’t turn the Titanic around overnight”? So tell us, JD. How long exactly does it take to turn a ship around? And was the Titanic, in fact, ever turned around at all?

You’ve no doubt heard about Dear Leader posting a racist video depicting the Obamas as apes. African-American senator Tim Scott (R-SC), who has been a loyal bootlicker all along, heard about it, and commented, “Praying it was fake, because it’s the most racist thing I’ve ever seen out of this White House.” What? Dear Leader, racist? I am shocked, shocked, I tell you.

You probably could not have survived without knowing that the crypto cartel has commissioned a 15-foot gold-plated statue of Dear Leader. (But don’t you dare call it a cult. )The sculptor, however, is learning the hard way the risk of doing business with anyone associated with Dear Leader. The statue is still sitting in his foundry, because he has yet to be paid.
