This Week In Stupid- Who's The Idiot Redneck From Alabama? Oh, That's Just Tommy Tuberville.
Hunter Biden, who sniffs cocaine off the butts of hookers...and why having sex is a totally gay act (incel logic)
Remember, when you are dead, you do not know you are dead. It is only painful for others.
The same applies when you are stupid.
Ricky Gervais
You should not seek sex, because if you seek sex, you will become gay. Because sex is a gay act. It’s totally gay.

Trump supporters condemn January 6 charges after third arraignment this year:
Well, sorry to inconvenience y’all. I know justice can be quite messy and tiresome, but some things really shouldn’t be given a free pass- like trying to overthrow the government, f’rinstance. Losing an election doesn’t mean you can stage a coup to stay in office and disenfranchise 81 million people.
Yeah, that’s kind of a BFD, if you know what I mean.
It’s the third time Donald Trump has been arraigned this year, even as he is the only former US president in history to face criminal charges. Each time, Trump and his supporters, as well as detractors, have moved to gain from his time in court.
Trump pleaded not guilty on Thursday in a Washington federal court to three counts of conspiracy and one count of obstruction in a plot to subvert the results of the 2020 election. He similarly denied his guilt in March over hush money payments to adult film actor Stormy Daniels, and then in June for illegally hoarding classified documents at his Florida resort….
Trump has also moved to profit from each of his own indictments, blasting supporters with a barrage of fundraising requests after his court appearances in Miami and New York.
Minutes after Trump left Washington, his son, Eric Trump, sent out a fundraising email with language calling the city “the belly of the beast”, according to NBC News. His campaign pulled in nearly $4m after his first arraignment in March and considerably less but still more than $1m after his arraignment in June, according to the New York Times.
Trump earlier said being arrested was “a great honor” in a post on Truth Social, his social media platform. He also posted Thursday ahead of his arraignment: “I NEED ONE MORE INDICTMENT TO ENSURE MY ELECTION!”
Despite what The Former Guy may think, being indicted for the third time is hardly a badge of honor. His bravado undoubtedly masks a deep fear that he could do some serious jail time…and even risk dying in prison.
Nice legacy you got there, eh? It would be a shame if something were to happen to it.
His die-hard base is convinced that The Former Guy is being persecuted by a weaponized Department of Justice at the behest of the shockingly evil and über-corrupt Joe Biden. To them, every indictment confirms their view that their hero/Messiah is being more deeply persecuted and that only he has the strength to stand up to the evil arrayed against him.
Need I remind y’all that his January 6 coup resulted in at least five dead Americans and several hundred wounded? That’s what you’re wasting your hero worship on. Excellent work, eh?
Sometimes Pictures Really DO Say More Than A Thousand Words:
BTW, the Governor on the left is Democrat Tim Walz of Minnesota. The one on the right is Republican Sarah Huckabee Sanders, though she’s out of the picture. Imagine her with a huge shit-eating grin on her face. The kids with her? Not so much.
So, yes, I think I’ve established beyond a fare-thee-well that Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) is almost certainly the dumbest biped in the US Senate. That’s a tight race, but Sen. Tuberville’s won it by a (red)neck.
What sealed it for him is his ongoing eight-month, one-person crusade against the Department of Defense funding abortions in the US military. Sen. Tuberville’s decided to shut the whole thing down until he gets his way, and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin caves.
And while the junior senator from the Yellowhammer State is having his hissy fit and holding up promotions for senior officers in all branches of the armed forces, military readiness is beginning to suffer.
Not bad for someone who consistently brags that no one is more committed (“No one’s more military than me!” And, no, he never served.) to the military than he is, eh? What a putz….
Fresh off his latest round of defending white nationalists in the military, everybody is getting kind of sick of Coach Dumpfuck screwing over the military because he’s having a crybaby crying jag over abortion. Like come on, dude, we get it, you’re trying to appeal to the rubes, but even Republicans are tired of this grandstanding shit. We have to have military readiness, which means we can’t hold up military confirmations forever just because Coach Brain Injury thinks Jesus will give him a spanking if he doesn’t….
Politico reports that Murk’s counterpart, Senator Dan Sullivan of Alaska, looked at finding a way around Tubberblubber’s hold to get the Marine commandant position filled, but Mitch McConnell wouldn’t let it happen because “precedent.” (You know how he is about letting hallowed Senate traditions fall by the wayside.) So the Senate went home without confirming a commandant for the Marines.
There are some Republicans trying to have it both ways, acting like both sides are getting something great out of this — Dippy the Clown getting to brush up his anti-abortion bonafides, while the Biden White House gets to very publicly fight for abortion. You know, because it’s all a game to these people.
And no one appears to be enjoying the game more than Tommy Tuberville. The publicity gets him press at home, and he can claim he’s being true to his anti-abortion bona fides.
It’s too bad that it’s coming at the cost of military readiness. With Congress now on its August recess, more than 600 senior positions remain unfilled, meaning families can’t move and training can’t be undertaken.
Nice work, Coach. Especially since no one’s more “military” than you.
No Woman in Her Right Mind Should Follow This Guy ANYWHERE:
'Barbie' Director Greta Gerwig Responds To The Movie's Right-Wing Backlash:
I haven’t seen Barbie, and I probably won’t…or maybe I will. I’m pretty ambivalent about it, but it’s not because I hate pink or have political misgivings. And it’s sure as Hell not because I’m on board with the idiocy being pushed by Ben Shapiro, Charlie Kirk, or Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Mordor).
For some reason, the Brotherhood of the Tiny Penis is convinced that Barbie is transgender propaganda and that it’s also pushing anti-patriarchy and pro-feminist messages. Shapiro, in particular, was incandescent because the movie’s dialogue uses “patriarchy” more than ten times.
Oh, the humanity of it all.
“Certainly, there’s a lot of passion,” [Greta] Gerwig, who wrote and directed “Barbie,” told The New York Times. “My hope for the movie is that it’s an invitation for everybody to be part of the party and let go of the things that aren’t necessarily serving us as either women or men. I hope that in all of that passion, if they see it or engage with it, it can give them some of the relief that it gave other people.”
“Barbie” grossed more than $155 million at the box office its opening weekend, and despite its massive success, some right-wing pundits and lawmakers, like Ben Shapiro and Sen. Ted Cruz, weren’t fond of the movie. Shapiro said the movie, which includes commentary on feminism and the patriarchy, divides men and women. He also called it “flaming garbage” and “woke.”
Cruz took issue with a map shown in the movie, and Charlie Kirk, a conservative radio talk show host, said the movie was “trans propaganda” because Hari Nef, a trans actor, played one of the Barbies in the film.
In “Barbie,” the teenager character Sasha, played by Ariana Greenblatt, calls Barbie sexist and a fascist. Mattel, which produced the movie, was originally skeptical about the scene, but Gerwig told the Times that it was important to include the arguments against Barbie.
“I didn’t think there was any way to do this without giving that real estate and having well-articulated, correct arguments from a really smart character given to Barbie against Barbie,” Gerwig said. “Also, I grew up with a mom who was kind of against Barbie, so that’s how I knew all that. If you don’t give voice to that, then you’re nowheresville.”
Allowing a transgender actor to play one of the characters hardly seems as if it would qualify as “transgender propaganda.”
As for being upset about the movie's premise, what did they think they would see- Barbie Does Dallas? If they were stupid enough not to understand what they were getting themselves into, that’s on them for getting into a situation where they lost two hours of their life they’ll never get back.
Cry me a freakin’ river.
They expected Barbie to feature female characters who were uniformly dumb, deferential, and worshipful of men. That those characters were anything but so stereotypical upset the Brotherhood of the Tiny Penis to no end.
Deal with it, ya impotent freakin’ ninnies.
You Don’t Think Your Life Would Be Better If You Were Enabling Pedophiles??:
The 'Barbie' Movie Is Ending Relationships Left And Right:
OK, y’all…if a movie is prompting you to break up with your boyfriend, don’tcha think you might’ve had a pretty crappy relationship to begin with? If you’re devoting your time to a man who doesn’t have the emotional bandwidth to understand how difficult it can be to be a woman, you don’t need a movie. You need a new boyfriend and some serious professional help.
And yet it appears that Barbie is helping (or hurting, depending on your perspective) to end relationships nationwide.
More than a week after the release of the “Barbie” movie, social media is full of stories of women who say they deeply reconsidered their relationships after seeing the film, which has grossed more than $775 million globally so far.
“AITA for breaking up with my boyfriend over the Barbie movie?” one woman asked on the popular “Am I the Asshole” subreddit, before sharing the story of how her boyfriend complained to her about the movie’s feminist themes after they left the showing.
On TikTok, another woman said the Mattel movie inspired her to break up with her boyfriend after a string of bad behavior on his part: “Thank you, ‘Barbie’ for empowering me, for giving me the confidence, for making me realize I deserve better.”
Anything that gives someone the confidence to recognize they deserve better is a good thing, but if it takes a movie, let’s just be glad it wasn’t Inglorious Basterds or Fight Club, eh?
Elsewhere on TikTok, women are sharing how they plan to use “what did you think of Barbie?” as a litmus test for dating. (It should be noted, plenty of men passed “the test” easily, dressing up in pink for the movie, or sympathizing with their girlfriends or wives after seeing it.)
“If you go see it with a guy who says, ‘Ken did nothing wrong, patriarchy [is] good,’ then you need to get rid of him,” Megan “The Fangirl” Gotham said on TikTok. “[Director Greta Gerwig is] trying to save us all, through Barbie!”
I have to think that Greta Gerwig would recoil at the idea of being seen as a savior of the female gender, but if some women need to see things that way to get themselves back to a good place, then why not? At least it’s happening, right?
Having not seen the movie, I can’t speak to its content, but I find it difficult to imagine that Gerwig saw it as an anti-male manifesto. That said, if it gives some women the strength and/or confidence to stand a little stronger on their feet, then good for them. We all need a push and a little support now and then.
And guys, if you can’t find it within yourself to be supportive and understanding of the woman you’re seeing Barbie with, you probably don’t deserve her, anyway.
Sometimes the Stoopid Speaks for Itself:
Here’s the reality. Perez said. The [America] Revolution was an insurrection. What else would it be? What happened is people stood up against the tyrants that were basically controlling their every move. … They were living under absolute tyranny, and what did they decide to do? They decided to take up arms against the government. They formed militias in their communities, and they took up arms against the most powerful military in the world. Are we not living under very similar circumstances here in America? Does this not call for the same, if not a similar response, to that situation? Why else would we have a Second Amendment? They specifically put the Second Amendment in there because we didn’t ever want to have to come to this point, to be quite honest.
Unfortunately for Ms. Perez, she’s not a historian with any particular insight into American history, particularly around the time of the revolution. No, she’s a Far-Right commentator, which means she’s gifted at twisting history and the Constitution to fit a pre-determined Conservative agenda.
In this case, she’s trying to convince her listeners that the 2nd Amendment was put into the Constitution so that The People could revolt against a government that got out of control. That argument is, not to put too fine a point on it, pure, unadulterated, 24-karat bullshit.
But why let a good story get in the way of the truth, right?
Why else would we have a 2nd Amendment? Perhaps because in the late 18th century, you couldn’t call 911, and so self-defense was a much more immediate concern. There was no real standing army, and a citizen militia was the only thing resembling a fighting force America had. So having weapons handy in case of an attack from the local Native Americans was no small thing.
That’s the great thing about history, though. If your listeners aren’t willing to engage in at least a wee bit o’ fact-checking, you can tell them anything you want. Bullshit becomes truth, and no one will be the wiser for it.
A quarter-millennium later, not much has changed.
…
That’s it for this week’s parade of stupid. Tune in next week when Ben Shapiro takes on Greta Gerwig in a steel cage naked oil wrestling match. I’m not sure what it will settle, but it should be a helluva lot of fun to watch.
I want to hear the stories of women breaking up with their BF's after watching Oppenheimer ...
