THE DUMBASS MOTHERFUCKERS BERATING THE WISE

There are intelligent & knowledgeable people in the USA. I have met many both inside & outside U.S. borders.

But there also some dumbass motherfuckers in it too as George Carlin has memorably opined.

I suspect George was commenting mainly on those at the top of the tree, at the elite “owners” as George called them.

These particular dumbasses are the ones who have partitions in their brains when it comes to war and peace. They shut off the half of their brain that deals with logic and compromise, labeling that side their ‘weakness’. That side is dangerous when it comes to a hothouse environment in the White House where to be a warmonger makes you look strong and to suggest things ain’t so bad and maybe we should talk to the other wide makes you look weak. That side has to be closed off for self-preservation.

If you saw Oliver Stone’s ‘JFK’ you may remember only one of those within the top circle around John Kennedy offered his career on a plate because he didn’t suggest war and invasion of Cuba as the best or only option, he suggested dialogue and some sort of compromise. The scene tells you almost everything you need to know about how the permanent state works in times of conflict.

“If the only tool you have is a hammer every problem has to look like a nail.”

(General Wesley Clark on US going to war in 7 countries in 5 years.)

Luckily for the world John F. Kennedy was an internationalist not a knee-jerk exceptionalist. He was open to what Winston Churchill advised was better than “War War” and that was “Jaw Jaw”. Negotiations through a third party with Khrushchev took place and an agreement to compromise and avoid war was reached.

It hardly needs saying that Donald J. Trump is no John F. Kennedy. In fact Donald Trump is the dumbass motherfucker’s dumbass motherfucker and then some. Trump has said in recent days he was ready to assassinate the leader of another sovereign nation that had never so much as laid a finger of the USA, the president of Syria, Bashar al-Assad. He was only stopped by advice not to do so by so-called ‘Mad Dog’ Mattis. Even a rabid dog has more sense than Dumbass Donnie.

The elites of the USA that surround Donald Trump now include such thugs as Mike Pompeo. Happily the ultra-thug Bolton was sent packing. But Pompeo is an evangelical sophist, a cunning man who knows not to argue with his boss, not to contradict him and keep him sweet. Behind his back he is no doubt scathing about the hapless geopolitical moron however.

Trump used every weapon available to him in his 2016 presidential campaign. He is a skillful operator when it comes to dirty deals using lies, subterfuge, misdirection and an attack-dog mentality. He is the political equivalent of a mafia don. As a seasoned sociopath who has deceived and betrayed people all his adult life he knows how to manipulate people into doing what he wants. As regards geopolitics or any issue requiring nuance, empathy, logic or simple common sense, forget it. He is a dildo and dodo combined mixed with an absence of that old grey matter skull padding. Have you watched him read someone else’s words from a teleprompter recently? It’s glacial in its slowness, like every world hurts his near absent brain.

Back of Trump are a cowering mass of sycophants aware one wrong move or word on their part gets them fired. talk back to The Great All-Knowing Guru and you’re number’s up. That lucrative career you have is over and you become a pariah to both sides of the aisle.

Further back from Trump you have the seething mass of those who long to see him gone so they can carry on where they left off waging wars like they could under previous administrations. This is the moron Trump’s single saving grace, he hasn’t started a war yet. Not that he hasn’t come close. Murdering Soleimani could well have ignited a war with Iran and if he wins reelection this may occur yet. Trump is no peacenik. The man who said he wanted to outdo waterboarding, who is waging an economic war against China and a war of poverty against Venezuela and who also has Cuba in his sights is not averse to war. Like all sociopaths he has no conscience and no empathy. If it is in his interests he will start a war. If not, he won’t.

Collectively these are the deranged and dysfunctional bozos who run America. These are the warhawks and group-thought exceptionalist, the hard-of-thinking who see all problems as nails with a hammer ever ready in their hands. They are the ill-informed, the Cold War brainwashed, the elitists and the exceptionalists, those with a stake in broadcasting fear to enhance their status. These are the dumbass motherfuckers who own American and run it as their feifdom and the hell with that so-called democracy.

And these dumbasses, these dumbest, most insular and self-congratulatory lowlife numbnuts are the selfsame mouthy dimwits who berate the wise leaders of both Russia and China.

You really couldn’t make this stuff up, could you?
