Jonathan V. Last: How Much Stupid Can We Possibly Take?

Hegseth is intimidated by competence and retreats to jinning up culture wars instead of soberly attending to the vital work of our national defense

Tillis's statement is hypocritical because he was the single vote that confirmed Hegseth, and his phrasing alibis Trump by urging the president to act rather than criticizing the commander-in-chief

Tillis is jerking off in public by criticizing Hegseth without acknowledging his own vote to confirm him, and his statement avoids holding Trump accountable

Collins's entire career in the age of Trump has been making sure she does not influence anything by ensuring her vote won't matter

Collins is delusional to claim influence when she hasn't stopped anything, and her voting record shows she works hard to not have influence

The oil deal is illegal under both U.S. law and Venezuela's constitution, and the intermediary Alejandro Betancourt Lopez is an alleged money launderer with Epstein connections who facilitated the coup

Vance's statements are deeply weird and contradict Catholic theology, as Roman Catholicism doesn't believe human actions can accelerate the end times and every Catholic's answer to heaven confidence should be one

The government showed restraint at the Bundy Ranch standoff, but it's unclear if they would show the same restraint if left-wing activists created an armed sanctuary for Haitians in Springfield

Governor Mike DeWine should take concrete action like suing the administration or deploying state police instead of just thinking about the tragedy

People like Leah are not open-minded but stupid, and society should bluntly tell them they don't understand science instead of respecting their feelings

It is better to accept one's own weaknesses and stupidities, and the mechanic analogy shows that experts should be able to call out ignorance without coddling

If a Republican wins again after Trump, it would tell us something is fundamentally broken about America and leave no alibi for voters

The assumption of a Democratic win in 2029 is mostly a psychological exercise to avoid dealing with the possibility of another Republican victory

The strategy of highlighting deported Christians didn't work in 2016 because conservative voters don't care about non-white Christians

Conservatives don't care about criminal justice or deported Christians because of racism, and people backfill their beliefs to justify what they already want

JVL would candlelight dinner Rick Perry, marry Wilbur Ross, and Falcon Heavy Bill Barr from the first Trump cabinet

Tim would candlelight dinner Linda McMahon, marry Rex Tillerson, and Falcon Heavy RFK Jr. from the second Trump cabinet
