this week in stupid: April 25 edition

Donny throws it, Hannity blows it, and so much more...

Apr 25, 2026

as another stupid week comes to a close here in America, let’s look back at the dumbest fucking shit that happened.

monday: really? still?

it’s the start of a new week. please tell me that the dumbest fucking imbeciles in America have moved on from their infantile obsession with New York’s Islamo-communo-marxo-anarcho-fascist Mayor Mamdani having hugged a sports-ball mascot.

please tell me that Fox News’ own Plankhead of the Airwaves™ isn’t wasting precious airtime on—

oh, dear.

“and by the way, the New York Mets are on an eleven-game losing streak, including — oh, right after the mayor met and hugged the team mascot, Mr. Met, at Citi Field, on April 9th, a phenomenon people are calling the Mamdani Curse.”

seriously, Sean? is there nothing else going on in the world right now, that we need to stretch this nothingburger of a story into a second week? because I seem to recall something about a don’t-you-dare-call-it-a-war in Iran that Dear Leader’s clownfucked us into. how about reporting honestly on that?

oh great, look what other useless pantload has stepped into the breech.

really? Rudy ‘Broke, Drunk and Stupid’ Giuliani? what is this vodka-soaked buffoon going to do, hold an exorcism at Four Seasons Total Baseballing?

hey, maybe Preznit Fuckwit wants to get involved. he loves to hog the spotlight.

oh dear lord. never mind.

Mayor Mamdani, can you step in here a moment and give these diaper-babies the reaction they deserve?

hey, maybe the Mets lost eleven games in a row because they’re the Mets and they fucking suck.

tuesday: don’t bogart that joint, Beelzebub

this week, Donny and his Sewer Clowns actually stumbled into doing a good thing. they moved to reclassify marijuana as a less-dangerous drug.

I know, right? I’m as shocked as you are. I guess that’s what you do when your approval ratings are circling the drain — you cast about in desperation for any move that might make you slightly more popular.

naturally, this talk of decriminalizing dope caused MAGA’s Christofascist Evangelical Wing to shit their breeches. over to you, Tony Perkins.

“we talk about the nature of drugs, and the Bible speaks to this issue. and it is opening up our children and of course others to demonic activity.”

I’ll bet you didn’t know that weed is in the Bible, but it’s true — most famously in Potheads 4:20, the verse that starts ‘and Jesus did mightily spark up a fat one…’

but please, kids, don’t smoke pot — because everyone knows that getting ripped to the tits in your dorm room and going ‘hey man, did you ever really look at the back of your hand?’ is the most pernicious form of demonic activity of all.

and don’t even get me started on these tools of Satan.

wednesday: break out your magnifying class

this week, the NCAA Division 1 champion Georgia Women’s Tennis team visited the White House. here’s the official photo the WH press office put up on Elon’s Nazi Bar and Child Porn Emporium.

wait, I don’t see any women’s tennis team. do you? all I see are a bunch of dudes who look really proud of themselves for no earned reason — oh wait, here they are, shoved all the way to the back of the room, behind some demented grinning jackass.

what the fuck? is this really the level of contempt the Donnyverse has for women, that they stick the actual champions into the background, like they’re some kind of afterthought?

spoiler alert: yes it is — because everyone in the Donnysphere fucking sucks.

imagine being at the top of your game, winning a tournament, and getting invited to the White House — and then you end up being treated like shit.

ugh. fuck these fucking misogynist fucks. let’s focus instead on what Jesus so wisely counseled us in his Sermon on the Mount: ‘blessed are the meme creators, for they shall win the internet.’

folks, I give you the winners:

thursday: you keep using that word

let’s listen in as Tennessee Rep Andy Ogles sums up everything that’s wrong with modern-day conservatism in seven concise words.

“we’re the dominant predator across all landscapes.”

I’m sorry, what? this underachieving doughy dweeb sees himself as a dominant what?

there you have it, folks. that’s why we’re now living in the shittiest possible timeline — because Dominant Andy and MAGA ilk refuse to accept that we all are members of a community who need to help each other to survive. they see every interaction as a confrontation to be won or lost.

oh, and ‘predator’? are you sure that’s the thing you want to brag about being, in the current climate? because here are a couple of prime predators for you, Andy.

is it any wonder that this was Mister Dominant Predator’s Christmas card a few years ago?

pro tip for bloodthirsty MAGA types: if you want to fantasize about being some alpha dipshit, go for it. just don’t force your children to participate — because that’s some fucking predatory behavior right there.

friday: the further adventures of Some Fucking Idiot™

some fucking idiot’s Friday started just about as early as possible — at 12:18 in the morning, when he unleashed a barrage of not-tweets that went on for two and a half hours.

holy fucking shit.

look — here’s possibly the most crazypants of all the fucking idiot’s early-morning posts.

what the fuck does the Southern Poverty Law Center have to do with the 2020 election? I thought it was Joe Biden’s autopen that rigged all that shit. are we just playing Pin The Tail On The Random Grievance now? but that’s what was on the fucking idiot’s mind at 1:13 in the morning. he really needs to lay off the adderall.

the fucking idiot had no official events on his Friday schedule, and his handlers kept him far away from the press — but since no one thought to hide his phone, the fucking idiot kept right on posting, right on through the day.

oh look, here’s some prime racism, directed at Candace Owens.

oh, how charming. now here’s some more racism, this time directed at Hakeem Jeffries.

‘Hakeem, a fine American name.’

oh, fuck all the way off, you bigoted fucking fuck.

finally, when it was time for the fucking idiot to fly off for his weekend playdate in Florida, his handlers made sure he couldn’t interact with the press.

and, because they were being kept far away from the fucking idiot, not one reporter had the opportunity to stand up to ask ‘what the fuck is wrong with you?’

how fucking idiotic is that?

saturday: ?

hey, it’s still morning as I sit here writing this — but give it time, I guarantee you that some dipshit wingnut is going to do something stupid before the day is over. you can set your watch to it.

do you have a nomination for This Week in Stupid? email me at jefftiedrich@gmail.com. thanks!

here’s your daily reminder that I can be found on Blue Sky at this link.

this is going to be my closing message for the foreseeable future:

practice self-care. do what you need to do to keep sane. if that means you need to disengage with my daily posts for a while, I get it. this community of ours will still be here when you return.

to all the people who have signed on in the days since the election, welcome aboard. settle in as we all try to deal with the shitfuckery that’s ahead of us.

we are all in this together, and we are all here for each other.
