America the Brave?!?
Being a surrender monkey to Dear Leader and his street gang is straight-up cowardice.
[Note: This is a longer post, for the full post, click through to read it on the web. Thanks.]
The outward capitulation by a laundry list of politicians, journalists, and talking heads (aka the pundits) is mind-boggling. Seemingly, everyone and their igit brother are looking to give a free pass to wannabe dictator Dear Leader Porn Star Humper
and his continuous pronouncements in support of fascism. Suddenly, most people apparently want to give the architect of the worst Presidency in the history of the country and an insurrection a free pass on his dictatorial attempts (yes, attempts, plural).
If you don’t think that refusing to comply with the peaceful transfer of power like every single President has done since our first President, George Washington, is not disqualifying, you may be a drooling Nationalist or a weak-ass surrender monkey.
Sidenote: Actually… George Washington was admittedly against any notion of a king or king-like figure in America. Washington really did not want to run again and at the end of his second term, he told his supporters they had to move on from him. Washington wanted to go home and retire, plus he realized a third term would be king-like and that would be inappropriate within the Madisonian Experiment. The peaceful transfer of power can be credited in a major way directly to George Washington. [Salute!]
I think the majority of the State Supreme Court of Colorado got the case regarding Dear Leader absolutely spot-on correct. There is no doubt in my mind. Why do I think this?? First, let’s start with the (actually) Conservative (read: not a moron Nationalist) retired federal judge J. Michael Luttig who gave a crystal clear case months ago why this was, in fact, a violation of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. Post the Colorado decision, Luttig expertly opined that the Colorado court delivered exactly the correct decision that was in line with the intent of the Constitutional framers.
Luttig reviewed the Colorado decision with acumen and clarity, but a legion of surrender monkeys are making a list of excuses why America should blindly capitulate to the fascist dickheads in Dear Leader-ville.
“No person shall ... hold any office, civil or military, under the United States ... who, having previously taken an oath ... as an officer of the United States ... to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.”
Suddenly, court decisions and the intent of the Constitution can be dismissed on a whim… when you are scared of the street gang the court is making decisions about. Interesting. The control-by-fear that Dear Leader’s political mafia has been delivering is obviously working.
Take constant right-wing tool Newt Gingrich calling the 14th Amendment suddenly antiquated and irrelevant to today’s governance. That’s frankly an absurd cop-out bar none. If the 14th Amendment is out-of-date and you agree with Newt The Toady [“There’s no point at which it references anybody today”], then the Constitution itself is out-of-date and all of the U.S. Constitution can be flippantly dismissed as “out-of-date” and unusable.
That’s a complete setup for a dictatorship under the next Dear Leader regime.
So much for the far right’s “Originalist” bullshit!! But it conforms to all the other behaviors of the far right, including the fact their own hypocrisy does not bother them and the fact they have no shame. What Gingrinch did there was similar to the crap Clarance Thomas did when corruption and graft were discovered and reported in the news. Suddenly the law is either 1) ineffectual and/or 2) simply does not apply to those caught with their hands in the cookie jar, getting caught like an episode of Catch a Predator.
Yes, the Orwellian self-serving argument once again: All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others.
Then the “libertarians” chime in from Reason saying we are all buffoons and seemingly think that taking Dear Leader and his Nazi street gang at their repeated words is “to give airtime to an awful lot of clownish #Resistance types.” Hipster Surrender Monkeys, great!!
Dear Reason: If you don’t think your heads are on the chopping block during a dictator/Dear Leader v2.0, you are a fucking fool. I wonder if Reason and their free market/individualism veneer are now actually supporting Dear Leader. Maybe they will vocally back his recent socialist education program a la Stalinist America Freedom Patriot Homeland Anti-Woke ProudBaby University, paid for (seriously, go find Dear Leader’s announcement video) by destroying all top-tier private universities in the country, bankrupting their endowment funds (because they allegedly create woke terrorists), and putting private education establishment permanently out-of-business.
By the way, this would be the equivalent of handing control of the global economy in the later parts of the 21st Century directly to China. In fact, it is akin to surrendering to the Communist People’s Party without them having to fire a single shot.
Wow, Dear Leader Putin ass-kisser wanting to seize the means of production to fund a government propaganda factory that replaces free choice education (school choice is no longer your thing?? Also interesting…) and replace it with an Authoritarian Nazi University funded by Communist asset seizures and state control.
Does Reason think Dear Leader is a fucking libertarian now?!? WTAFO! With Dear Leader, any authoritarian construct will do, even though he is too fucking stupid to know the actual differences between left-wing authoritarianism (the commie shitheads) and right-wing authoritarianism (the Nazi shitheads). Dear Leader is just a simpleton who loves a strongman. It is that facile. Dear Leader is the proverbial moth-to-the-flame, a moth who can not STFU about his desire to become a totalitarian ruler.
If Dear Leader thinks he can destroy Havard, Yale, Columbia, et al, and Reason ain’t NewsMax, you don’t think Dear Leader won’t send in troops (under Kash Patel, WTF. See that Project 2025 craziness) to shut you down?!? You are above it all?!? Fools. Ignorant fools.
All this passive cowardly faint-heartedness is ridiculous. Did Alexander Hamilton consider insurrection a threat to the republic?!? Fucking A he did…
From The Federalist Papers No. 9:
A FIRM Union will be of the utmost moment to the peace and liberty of the States, as a barrier against domestic faction and insurrection. It is impossible to read the history of the petty republics of Greece and Italy without feeling sensations of horror and disgust at the distractions with which they were continually agitated, and at the rapid succession of revolutions by which they were kept in a state of perpetual vibration between the extremes of tyranny and anarchy.
Between the extremes of tyranny and anarchy. Hmm, Alex was a smart dude with a sense of both history and the future. But the clueless herd needs to dismiss Hamilton. (Why, they did not like the theater play?!? Too hip hop?!? FFS.)
Alexander “The OG Baller of the Founding Fathers” Hamilton simply nailed it in 1787. Any student/avid reader of history should be able to nail it, but they choose to concede defeat instead. Why?!? Is Hamilton “out-of-date” as well?!? If so, then Newt, Bannon, and the rest of the white Nationalist street gang have abandoned everything they allegedly believed in since minimally Reagan, if not going back to Eisenhower.
Check yourselves, damn it!!! Because this surrender monkey bullshit is the opposite of the Federalist Society’s current legal opinion.
Remember when the Federalist Papers meant something to “Conservatives”? Remember when the Federalist Society was the backbone of the Conservative movement?
The entire Republican-come-aggrieved-Nationalist movement has ABANDONED everything actually conservative. Laughably so. Moronically so.
Where are all the “tough on crime” right-wingers now?!? Oh, that’s right, you don’t care about your own hypocrisy that had become a hallmark of the idiotic Nationalist movement. The Insurrections did not commit crimes you claim. In fact, you claim the rioters were all federal agents and crisis actors. Anything to avoid responsibility.
The Gimps for Dear Leader know they have broken the hypocrisy needle off the meter and they don’t care whatsoever. Not caring at all about it is their [only] superpower.
So the next thing you want to say is something silly like “America is the reason the French did not have to speak German” or diss to the Italians “Brand new rifle, never fired, dropped once.” — Hold up, Sparky. America no longer holds the high ground here. It can’t, given the majority of Americans who support an encroaching despotic Reign of Terror. Oh, and according to The Hill’s reporting/polling, a majority of Americans are ready to flush the democratic Republic down the toilet without a care:
All for a self-aggrieved con artist whose biggest claim to fame is being a bankrupt casino owner walking around in an adult diaper.
We are on the road to failure, America, and if the majority of the country does not come to their fucking senses quickly, the America you thought we had will be over. You can’t elect someone who truly believes that he should run America as a strongman akin to Orban, Ortega, Maduro, or Milošević.
America, don’t be surrender monkeys, it is unbecoming of y’all.
Think about it.
Postscript #1: A clear disclaimer so that no one says I am using deceptive imagery persuasion (DIP): All AI art was created using a locally installed Stable Diffusion AI (1.4|1.5|2.1) running on a custom-built Windows 10 workstation running an i9-9900K CPU and a Nvidia 2080 Ti FE GPU (slightly overclocked) with 11GB of dedicated GPU memory and 4352 CUDA cores. Python 3.10.6 or higher is recommended.
Postscript #2: Let’s talk quickly about the severe stupidity of Dear Leader's legal claims: If Trump and Pence had the “constitutional authority” to dismiss the will of the voters and anoint Dear Leader to permanent power, then guess who now has that same magical powers?!? Dark Brandon and Kamala Harris, aka the two people you love to hate the most. If one President and Vice-President can declare victory for themselves by simply refusing to count the states they lost and yell Olly olly oxen free!!, then that is what exactly Kamala could do come the next election certification process. You dullards did not think this through, obviously…
Postscript #3: This is Dear Leader 2.0’s administration in a nutshell. 😂
Beware of flying ketchup bottles, America.
Gov Brylcreem wants to capitulate now. SMFH.
