What amazes me is that the Republicans have no policies for the future. When the Republicans counter saying they have more on then the Democrats, All I hear is moron.
What’s the message behind The Marching Morons by Cyril M. Kornbluth (1951)
John Barlow, a racist and vulgar conman and real estate developer from 1988, accidentally ends up in suspended animation. He wakes up in the future. Society changed. Now the majority of intelligent people have been bred out by the dumb. There’s a small minority of intelligent people but they feel oppressed by the majority because they have to do the significant heavy lifting to keep society running. So they want Barlow to fix this problem and so he demands to become world dictator. Apparently 20th century people are the only one’s self interested enough to devise a plan. His plan is to convince all the morons 99% of people to nationalistically rush to Venus to become the first nation to colonize it. And it works using lessons he learned from Hitler and they all die in space. In the end, the intelligent people put him in a rocket too because they hate the self-interested, pragmatic and far-sighted people of the 20th century who created the problem in the first place. He dies.
So what is this story supposed to be satirizing? Unlike the story Fahrenheit 451, it can’t be a commentary on culture, the morons are truly genetically inferior, not just distracted by popular entertainment. In fact it feels like its strongly endorsing prejudice against those with low intelligence. Or does it? After all Barlow is written very abrasively. A conman and racist that knows all about Hitler. So I would have expected the intelligent congress to stop his plan but they go along with it. Perhaps this passage says it all
Repub logic is astounding. Particularly, since Orange Traitor is nearly the same age as Biden, but far older due to the lack of care he’s given his body over the years.
Trump made the other NATO countries pay their fair share.
Under the regime of Biden and the brainwashed wokes, the US taxpayer has paid $200 billion to the rest of NATO paying $20 billion for Ukraine. Maybe the MAGA guy is tired of being forced to be used as a sucker by Europe.
And some of that $20 billion supposedly paid by the European countries originally came from the US.
The other NATO countries prefer to spend their money on things like healthcare and education and let the US pay for their defense.

I am still trying to understand the MAGA fascination with the bearded, Al-Qaida, Muslim look. Any ideas?

Ninety-one contrived felony counts does not a conviction make. But 80 years old is 80 years old.
