this week in stupid: May 9 edition

MAGA erects it, Donny infects it, and so much more...

May 09, 2026

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

monday: third term? I’d settle for her getting a third brain cell

we all know that MAGA is where logic and reason go to die, so let’s settle in and watch the stupid as it burns in real-time.

~~(programming note: I don’t know who created this video. if you do, please tell me so I can give this person the proper credit they deserve.)~~

(update: I’ve been informed that this video was produced by The Good Liars. thanks, everyone!)

cultist: “I’m looking forward to 2028. Trump 2028.”
interviewer: “you want to see Trump run again in 2028?”
cultist: “he’ll win.”
interviewer: “would you be okay with him running for a third term?”
cultist: “I have no problem with that at all.”
interviewer: “even if it’s against the constitution?”
cultist: “I don’t believe it’s against the constitution. there are other routes there.”
interviewer: “and what would those routes be?”
cultist: “I don’t know, I’m not a constitutional lawyer.”
interviewer: “but if it was against the constitution, which it is, would you still be in favor of it.”
cultist: “I’m not in favor of breaking laws, no.”
interviewer: “so no Trump 2028.”
cultist: “Trump 2028. [walks away]”

holy fucking shit. Ms. MAGA here comes this close to getting it, only to snap back into her little Dear-Leader-can-do-no-wrong cult-poisoned mindset at the last minute. it’s as if the inside of her head is the Strait of Hormuz, and little tiny Iranians are keeping coherent thoughts from passing through it.

this is what we’re up against, folks. you can make all the perfect sense in the world and explain this shit until you’re blue in the face, and what do you get for your effort? bupkis. zip. nada. MAGA just doesn’t want to know.

by the way, we did an MRI of this cultist’s brain while she was blithering away, and here are the results.

complete obliteration.

tuesday: but did she flatten anyone’s tires

oh look, Fox News found object Jesse Watters has found some new dumbfuckery with which to attempt to shame Ilhan Omar.

“Omar’s been married three times. what do you say about a woman that’s been married three times?”

I don’t know, you snickering pantload, what would you say about a guy who’s so horny for a woman who works for him that he lets the air out of her tires so he has a pretext to start an affair with her — while still married to his first wife?

you know who I’m talking about, don’t you, Jesse? I’m talking about you.

and of course, no discussion of the sanctity of marriage would be complete without the fuckface who started an affair with his second wife while still married to his first wife, started an affair with his third wife while married to his second wife, and then stuck his tiny mushroom dick into a porn star while the third wife was at home, nursing his fifth child.

I am, of course, talking about this irresistible chick-magnet — Jabba the Trump.

wednesday: intolerance and hatred for fun and profit, part one

hypocrisy, thy name is Fox.

Laura Ingraham: “okay, everyone’s entitled to his or her opinion, First Amendment, but for a group that claims to be all about compassion and tolerance, they’re the most intolerant people on the face of the planet.”

Katie Miller: “the most intolerant people are the ones who have the lawn signs that say ‘hate has no home here’ — that’s exactly where hate has a home in America.”

wait a minute, wait a minute — you want to talk about where hate has a home? let us not forget that somewhere inside the residence of Katie Miller is a coffin where her undead husband Nosferatu sleeps.

I don’t even know who Laura and Katie were talking about in that clip. Fox News is an perpetual-motion shit-cannon of spite and grievance, and its targets change on a daily basis — but Stephen Miller is Ground Fucking Zero for hatred in America. so maybe Potty McKettleblack might want to clean up her own house before she starts pointing fingers.

long, undead fingers.

thursday: intolerance and hatred for fun and profit, part two

you know what? if Laura Ingraham and Katie Miller want to talk about hatred and intolerance, maybe they should start with the always-charming Nick Fuentes.

I’m not even going to embed the video — because every time I put up one of Fuentes’ rants, YouTube deletes it, and then puts a check against my account for ‘promoting hate speech.’ eventually they’re going to shitcan my entire page if I keep doing it. if you really want to watch Nick do an uber-racism, go here.

just know that what Right Wing Watch says about the clip is 100% accurate.

Nick Fuentes says that America is “n*gger hell,” then realizes he probably shouldn’t have said that while wearing a James Fishback for Governor quarter zip: “My apologies to the campaign.”

but that’s not the stupid part.

this is the rock-bottom stupid part: Nick Fuentes’s racist, n-word-laced rant while wearing “James Fishback for Governor” branded clothing did not harm the Fishback campaign — in fact, it helped it. sales of the Fishback quarter-zip increased by 978%.

that’s your Republican Party in the year 2026, ladies and gents — they’re an unredeemable fucktangle of racist shitweasels.

friday: the further adventures of Some Fucking Idiot™

on Friday, some fucking idiot launched Operation Distraction From My Iranian Debacle Which Was Supposed To Be A Distraction From My Dead Pedo Bestie Problem by announcing he was releasing a bunch of government UFO files.

spoiler alert: nobody was distracted. even the three-toed space laser enthusiast was all ‘fuck off, show us the Dead Pedo Bestie Files.’

the fucking idiot also did one of his patented ‘happy holiday to all you haters and losers’ posts.

the fucking idiot then called in to his bedbug-infested Doral golf motel, where MAGA preachers were holding a dedication ceremony for some fugly statue they’d erected in his honor.

but please, tell me how MAGA isn’t a cult, complete with fucknormous golden idol of Dear Leader.

the fucking idiot had one official public appearance on his Friday schedule, a Mother’s Day luncheon on the Epstein Parking Lot where the Rose Garden used to be. the fucking idiot used the occasion to admit that he was just reading off a printout someone gave him, and had no clue who he was talking about.

“I heard he was an outstanding— they give me lists and they tell me about people.”

fuck you, you callous fuck.

the fucking idiot also honored the mothers of fallen service members by plugging his shitty golf motel, because of course he did.

later on, talking to reporters, the fucking idiot reminded everyone of how he completely fucked up his response to covid six years ago.

why am I not reassured by what this fucking idiot hopes is true about hantavirus?

and, of course, the fucking idiot demanded infinite praise —

— for having settled every war that has ever been fought, going all the way back to those hominids who beat the shit out of each other using bones.

and, despite all the dumbfuckery going on right in front of their faces, not one reporter stood 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.
