for me, the perfect 'week in stupid' entry is both stupid and buffoonish, like the South Dakota Rep who actually believes that Mount Rushmore is a portal for communism-spreading demons.

I shit you not, that was a 'week in stupid' item from July 1, 2023.

https://www.jefftiedrich.com/i/130837879/tuesday-the-mystery-of-where-commies-come-from-solved

unfortunately, since the election, 'stupid and buffoonish' has been replaced by 'stupid and evil,' which is a lot less fun to write about.

Jeff, I will never understand, in a million years, for TEN years now, how every single reporter, and frankly how every single politician, business leader, religious leader, educational leader, and all the rest, have not asked your “what the f____ question over and over and over again. The failure to do so, and follow up relentlessly on that question, and expose the insanity and inanity that is DJT are to our everlasting shame and now our destruction. Listening to him and following him and yes voting for him, has gone from just wrong and misguided and perhaps ignorant (2016), to horrifying and immoral and craven and cruel(2020) to outright lunacy and insanity and evil(2024). Welcome to the hell hole that is the 2025 USA. We have met the enemy, and he is US. My 72 years of living did not prepare me for national suicide……. I still cannot believe it. I wake up every morning for almost ten years now, and ask, when will the adults in the room show up and rid us of this cancer? Not yet………

Oh, he probably wrote some of it. There's still his signature tic of capitalizing random words that don't need it. It's like someone once told him nouns are capitalized and he thought it meant every single noun, not just proper names. There's no reason to capitalize "world" or "countries" or "trade. Of course, it does surprise me that he realizes that those words are nouns. Unless, as you say, someone else wrote it and tried to make it look like his stock in trade verbal diarrhea.

Some of the bullshit religious narrative described here reminds me of the t-shirt being worn by one of the New York Yankees when trump was invited into their fascist-supporting locker room: "Jesus Won" was plastered on the t-shirt.

Meanwhile, the entire team, or almost the entire team (?), stood around trump like one of his propaganda rally photos -- all with big grins and smirks on their faces, with the guy with the t-shirt standing right next to trump, and even Aaron Judge right there yukking it up with the rest of them.

It was an absolute pleasure watching a Canadian team kick their asses and eliminate them from the playoffs. Must've hurt a lot more that they were Canadian. Because in this weird timeline, the U.S. is suddenly not friends with Canadians, and we need to boo their national anthem at Yankee Stadium, etc.

Yep, I wouldn't be surprised if many of the Blue Jays are maga, too, and probably many or all of the other baseball teams. There's no escaping it. But the New York Yankees and Detroit Tigers were probably the most visibly supportive of the orange buffoon.

(On the same day that the Yankees invited trump into their locker room, a few of the Tigers did the 'trump dance' after getting base hits, and during the season you could detect a few fascist dog whistles here and there. Meanwhile, Colin Kaepernick was disappeared from his sport many years ago for being concerned about police brutality and gun violence. Politics for me, and not for thee.)
