Unfit to Lead

“Our country’s future is too precious to rely on such a broken moral compass.” - NYT

[Full disclosure: I refer to he whose name will not be spoken, the criminal traitor, as Krasnov, a nom de guerre he corruptly earned and more respectful than he deserves.]

It is comically farcical to hear zealous psychophants talk about the rest of us cretins not understanding the ‘art of the deal’ (a term taken from a book title written by Tony Swartz not actually written by Krasnov) or how he’s playing some form of multi-dimensional chess that is simply beyond the comprehension of mere mortals. In reality, Krasnov isn’t capable of playing chess of any dimension. He’s not playing chess. He’s not playing checkers. He’s not even capable of playing marbles because all of his are lost. He is playing the ‘reality tv’ role of strongman, manipulated by his band of obsequious lickspittles into believing his hair is beautiful, his skin is attractively tinted, and that his figure is athletically svelte. If anyone really cared about him they would stop him from dancing, or however that hand-job gyration he employs on stage sometimes could be more accurately described. Very weird…

Every morning when I wake I take a moment to sense if what we are experiencing is real or imagined. As the vomit clears from the back of my throat I rise with that foreboding sense of dread that all those traumatized by any heretofore unimaginable physical or emotional and abusive evil feel. Some call it the upside down or an alternate universe or simply a nightmare. But whatever descriptor one uses, one thing is for certain. We are being visited by evil. Our world is besieged by cults of ignorance and malice and madness that after WWII it was said, “Never again.” But, again is now.

Someone posted recently that one thing the MAGA movement and reelection of Krasnov have shown is just how many stupid and hateful people there are in this country. The curtain has indeed been pulled back on our naiveté and arrogance that a vague and unspeakable “it” could never happen here. Well… here “it” is.

Laughable but dangerous.

George Orwell’s 1984 as it turns was prescient. What he called ‘newspeak’ are ‘alternative facts’ in MAGAspeak. To MAGA, the alternate existence which they imagine and project is how we should all live because they chose it for the rest of us. “The US is a Christian nation…” White predominantly of course, but “Christian” as they have re-imagined it. Jesus saying “love they neighbor” is woke shit lib-talk that no longer applies. Empathy is a threat to civilization quoth the muskrat.

“Types of newspeak in Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-four include the elimination of certain words or the removal of unorthodox meanings from certain words; the substitution of one word for another (e.g., uncold instead of warm and ungood instead of bad),” as described by Britannica.

“Its words include doublethink (belief in contradictory ideas simultaneously), which is reflected in the Party’s slogans: “War is peace,” “Freedom is slavery,” and “Ignorance is strength.” The Party maintains control through the Thought Police and continual surveillance.” Or as USAG Pam Bondage says, “We’re coming for you.”

As reported in The Guardian…

“After the FBI arrested a Milwaukee judge for allegedly obstructing the arrest of an undocumented immigrant, Bondi went on Fox News to threaten other judges who may defy their agenda. “They’re deranged. I think some of these judges think they are beyond and above the law, and they are not. We will come after you and we will prosecute you,” she said.”

The earth is flat. The moon landings were faked. Sasquatch and the Loch Ness monster exist. Magnets don’t work if they get wet. Prayers can raise people from the dead and are the only appropriate response to gun violence. Drinking bleach kills Covid and Vitamin A cures measles. Tariffs aren’t taxes. Putin is really a good guy genius who just wants peace. Being able to identify a whale cartoon as distinct from a giraffe or a tiger is indicative of cognitive exceptionalism. The letters in a “picture” of Kilmar Garcia’s fingers are real tattoos that clearly say M S 1 3. American citizens should be deported. The Constitution is just guidelines, more like concepts of a plan.

On July 12, 2024, before selling out their brand and their journalistic ethics, the New York Times ran an editorial titled, “(Krasnov) is Unfit to Lead” and included incisive top lines:

• HE IS DANGEROUS IN WORD, DEED AND ACTION

• HE PUTS SELF OVER COUNTRY

• HE LOATHES THE LAWS WE LIVE BY

[Full disclosure: Thank you to Joyce Vance, Substack: Civil Discourse, for the following NYT quotes.]

“A once great political party now serves the interests of one man, a man as demonstrably unsuited for the office of president as any to run in the long history of the Republic, a man whose values, temperament, ideas and language are directly opposed to so much of what has made this country great.

(Krasnov) has shown a character unworthy of the responsibilities of the presidency. He has demonstrated an utter lack of respect for the Constitution, the rule of law and the American people. Instead of a cogent vision for the country’s future, Mr. (Krasnov) is animated by a thirst for political power: to use the levers of government to advance his interests, satisfy his impulses and exact retribution against those who he thinks have wronged him.

“Voters frustrated by inflation and immigration or attracted by the force of Mr. (Krasnov)’s personality should pause and take note of his words and promises. They have little to do with unity and healing and a lot to do with making the divisions and anger in our society wider and more intense than they already are…When someone fails so many foundational tests, you don’t give him the most important job in the world.”

The NYT was right back in July 2024. They could be even more right if they were to continue to call him out daily for his unlawful and evil actions exacerbated by an undeniable lack of morals and mental acuity if not advanced dementia. But, nah…

“Be careful of false prophets. They come to you disguised in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are vicious wolves. You will know these people by what they do.”

The Christian Bible; Matthew 7:15-17.

The White House officially published a graphic that shows Krasnov as pope.

(pope dick the 1^st) FFS

A cult these people are.

Aside from the fact is that Krasnov is not Catholic, the reiterations of him imagining himself as “the chosen one,” are insane. Such musings are incontrovertible narcissistic visualizations indicative of a messianic complex that speaks ill of his mental stability.

The New York State Catholic Conference, which represents bishops in New York, took to X to criticize the picture. "There is nothing clever or funny about this image, Mr. President," the group wrote. “We just buried our beloved Pope Francis and the cardinals are about to enter a solemn conclave to elect a new successor of St Peter. Do not mock us."

In his recent interview with Time magazine he said many deluded ‘newspeak’ things:

“The price of groceries have gone down,” which as widely reported is demonstrably false.

aka: A lie.

As Time reported afterward, “Total food prices increased 3% in March, year over year, according to the federal Consumer Price Index. Grocery prices, specifically, rose 2.4% during that period and rose 0.5% since February.”

As regards ‘deals’ with the existing 195 countries, “I’ve made 200 deals.” That could be a rounding error, an hallucination, an indication of the need for a remedial math class, or a willful fabrication. The last one would of course also be a lie.

Discussing bringing manufacturing back to the US, Krasnov offered that there were products he did not want to be made here. When asked what products those were he responded, “I can give you a list because I actually have a list, but if you want, I could give it to you.” A response that is at best a vocalized lack of cogent synapse. Person, woman, man, camera, TV. If he has a list why not just name five things on it?

Asked about talks with Chinese president Xi Jinping, Krasnov said he would not call if Xi doesn’t call him, but that Xi has called him. China repeatedly denied Xi called.

Krasnov acknowledges that he could get Kilmar Albrego Garcia released but he does not intend to do so. When asked about the Supreme Court ruling 9-0 that he must immediately facilitate Garcia’s return, he claimed the DOJ had told him that SCOTUS had ruled differently, and it was up to “the attorneys” not him. “I don’t make that decision.” He’s the fucking president. The USAG and the DOJ report to him not the other way around. Krasnov is so demented that he may think that we will believe such nonsensical lying, or is so demented he no longer comprehends many such basic conditions.

Asked about the campaign promise he made many times over that, “I will end the war in Ukraine on day one,” Krasnov said, “Obviously, people know that when I said that it was said in jest, but it was also said that it will be ended.” What was obvious is that he never said that in jest. Not even once. Not ever.

So many things to unpack. So little time in every day to complete such herculean tasks when the firehose of lies gushes forth like the phantasmagorical spigot in Canada when it’s magically opened by the only person capable of doing it to let all the immeasurable, lifesaving water flow into California.

But let me close in all seriousness.

War is not something about which a sane person jests.

The war in Ukraine is an abomination and an affront to all civilized people. There are crimes against humanity being wrought against the Ukrainian people daily on the orders of a murderous mobster. Russia invaded Ukraine, is illegally occupying Ukrainian territory, kidnapping tens of thousands of their children, and bombing civilians. Russian ‘soldiers’ have wantonly raped women and girls and committed multiple other heinous crimes against humanity. Krasnov has tried to get Ukraine to capitulate to this. They continue to resist, and the free world will forever be in their debt for their bravery and resilience.

As the NYT ended their op-ed last July, “Our country’s future is too precious to rely on such a broken moral compass.”

The man boasts a messianic narcissism, jokes about war, and thinks he runs the world.

He is not fit. He is not fit mentally or physically. He is not fit to run this country let alone be considered leader of the free world, and the free world sees that. Clearly…
