Stucky QOTD: Morans

 I am convinced America’s morans now exceed 50% of the population.

I would like to do a Pictorial Essay on America’s morons. I think it would be a blast if I can find just the right pictures.

I could use your help identifying said morans.  They can be from any walk of life (politics, economics, religion, finance, culture, etc. etc.),  or individuals,  … etc etc. Even things people do. Anything.  If I pick your selection I will note “submitted by”, unless asked not to do so.  Submit as many ideas as you want.

Q: An American Moran is (fill-in-the-blank).

MORONS ABOUND

“As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their hearts desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.” – H.L. Mencken


Kanye West Is Retarded

Kanye West Is Retarded

Why aren’t more people making fun of Kanye West? Is it because he’s retarded? Who cares? That’s hilarious. On Tuesday, Virgin Airlines told him he should “EAD” (eat a dick) and added that he’s a “douche.” This is interesting because douchebags were designed to clean vaginas and if there’s one thing that should eat a dick it’s a clean vagina. Just kidding, they said nothing of the sort, and quickly apologized to Yeezus “for any offence caused.” The original comment was a response to Kanye claiming he deserved a 30 out of 10 for his album instead of the 9 critics had given him. With context, “EAD” and “douche” seem remarkably benevolent.

As a Canadian immigrant by way of Britain, I am constantly surprised by the soft bigotry of low expectations blacks in America are awarded. I don’t care about slavery. America got 3% of the slaves Africa sold the New World and Americans lost 650,000 men abolishing the practice (the equivalent of 7M today). I heard they had it rough in America, but where I’m from “No Blacks, No Dogs” included “No Irish,” and they were slaves too. When a black person says something completely insane, I laugh my head off and go, “That’s idiotic.” In America, they say, “It’s complicated.” So a concussed entertainer such as Kanye West can go gallivanting through life like something out of a children’s book and the response is usually positive.

“Americans laugh at this asshole in polite company, but in public they’d much rather kiss his black ass (which he insists he doesn’t enjoy).”

UNIVERSITY OF DELAWARE PRESIDENT IS A BLITHERING LIBERAL IDIOT

This is the picture of an ultra-liberal shrew who acted like your standard race baiting liberal idiot by declaring a hate crime before she had any facts whatsoever to substantiate her hysterical rantings. These are the kind of ideologues in charge of State universities today. What a worthless, brain dead, pustule on the ass of higher education. Liberal are hopeless, dangerous and a menace to society.

University of Delaware ‘hate crime’ investigation ends on comedic note

An investigation into an alleged hate crime on the campus of the University of Delaware ended yesterday when it was discovered that what was believed to be hangman’s nooses turned out to be leftover decorations.  The “nooses” were found in the general vicinity of a Black Lives Matter protest, leading to hysterical hate crime charges.

And hilarity ensued.

Washington Times:

Campus officials were alerted late Tuesday by students who thought nooses had been left hanging from a tree on campus not far from the location of a recent Black Lives Matter demonstration.

“This hateful display stands in stark contrast to Monday night’s peaceful protest and discussion. We condemn this despicable action and ask everyone in our community to stand together against intolerance and hate,” Nancy M. Targett, the school’s acting president, said in a statement Tuesday.

Within hours, however, officials retracted their concerns after realizing the supposed nooses were actually harmless remnants from a separate event.

“Thanks to tips from students who responded to our earlier call for information and the investigative work of University of Delaware Police, it has been determined that the three noose-like items found outside Mitchell Hall were not instruments of a hate crime, but the remnants of paper lanterns from an event previously held on The Green,” the acting president explained early Wednesday.

“I am confident that we have determined the origin of these items,” weighed in Police Chief Patrick Ogden.

No fewer than eight students had described the lanterns to authorities as resembling nooses before the investigation was halted, Chief Ogden told a local NBC News affiliate.

The “acting president” of the university should be fired for generating hysteria over nothing and for jumping to conclusions.  She put white students in danger with her wild, unsubstantiated charges.  Note that there was no hedging, no caveats – she described the lanterns as a “hate crime.”

And no apologies for ginning up outrage for no reason.

It would be nice if university officials and students would learn a valuable lesson from this, but they won’t.  So we await the next fake “hate crime,” with an overreacting administration and students enslaved to a politically correct reaction.


Bernanke Says “No Large Mispricings In US Securities”; These 5 Charts Say Otherwise

We all know Bennie is a financial guru. His foresight is unquestioned. He saved the world, don’t you know? His wisdom and ability to portend the future is unrivaled. Who could forget his previous market calls?

(October 20, 2005) “House prices have risen by nearly 25 percent over the past two years. Although speculative activity has increased in some areas, at a national level these price increases largely reflect strong economic fundamentals.”

(January 10, 2008) “The Federal Reserve is not currently forecasting a recession.”

(March 28, 2007) “At this juncture, however, the impact on the broader economy and financial markets of the problems in the subprime market seems likely to be contained. In particular, mortgages to prime borrowers and fixed-rate mortgages to all classes of borrowers continue to perform well, with low rates of delinquency.”

(July, 2005) “We’ve never had a decline in house prices on a nationwide basis. So, what I think what is more likely is that house prices will slow, maybe stabilize, might slow consumption spending a bit. I don’t think it’s gonna drive the economy too far from its full employment path, though.”

(February 15, 2007) “Despite the ongoing adjustments in the housing sector, overall economic prospects for households remain good. Household finances appear generally solid, and delinquency rates on most types of consumer loans and residential mortgages remain low.”

(November 15, 2005) “With respect to their safety, derivatives, for the most part, are traded among very sophisticated financial institutions and individuals who have considerable incentive to understand them and to use them properly.”

(January 18, 2008) “[The U.S. economy] has a strong labor force, excellent productivity and technology, and a deep and liquid financial market that is in the process of repairing itself.”

(May 17, 2007) “All that said, given the fundamental factors in place that should support the demand for housing, we believe the effect of the troubles in the subprime sector on the broader housing market will likely be limited, and we do not expect significant spillovers from the subprime market to the rest of the economy or to the financial system. The vast majority of mortgages, including even subprime mortgages, continue to perform well. Past gains in house prices have left most homeowners with significant amounts of home equity, and growth in jobs and incomes should help keep the financial obligations of most households manageable.”

“The GSEs are adequately capitalized. They are in no danger of failing.”

(Two months before Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac collapsed and were nationalized) “They will make it through the storm.”

(June 10, 2008) “The risk that the economy has entered a substantial downturn appears to have diminished over the past month or so.”

OUR PROBLEM IS LOW SELF-ESTEEM, NOT A $2 BILLION BUDGET DEFICIT

Our problem is electing morons like Wolf to run the State. His master plan to revive PA was to tax the shit out of shale energy companies. Oops!!! That plan is DOA, as these companies will be going bankrupt over the next two years. He is a Democrat. Therefore, he will want to spend more of my money on useless shit. His new solution will be to tax the shit out of me and every other working Pennsylvanian so he can funnel money to his Democratic paradises of Philly and Pittsburgh. It’s for the children, don’t you know. That’s how you get re-elected in 2018. Low self esteem my fat ass. I have no esteem for idiots like Wolf and the rest of the bought off politicians in the bankrupt state capital of Harrisburg.

Pennsylvania’s problem? Low self-esteem, Wolf says

WASHINGTON – As he begins his tenure facing a $2 billion budget gap, struggling schools, and aging bridges and roads, Gov. Wolf said there’s another key area to improve: his state’s self-esteem.

“I think one of the responsibilities that leadership in Pennsylvania [has] to address head on – not only the structural issues in education, transportation, all those things, but also the psychological issues that keep us, hold us, back,” Wolf told other governors during a panel discussion of their states’ economic challenges. “So low self-esteem actually is a big problem.”

His comments came during a Saturday afternoon roundtable at a governors’ conference, and on Monday had Harrisburg buzzing. State Republicans poked fun at the Democratic governor, saying he should focus his attention elsewhere.

Wolf stood by his words Monday, though he didn’t use self-esteem. Instead, he cited an “excess of modesty.”

“The only people that really don’t believe that Pennsylvania should be the dominant state are Pennsylvanians,” Wolf said in an interview. “We have an excess of modesty, and in a lot of ways, modesty is a wonderful trait, but I think it keeps us from recognizing the amazing things that we are capable of, so I think we are an underachiever.”

At one point during Saturday’s panel at the National Governors Association conference, Wolf called self-esteem the state’s biggest economic problem.

When Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker chuckled and pointed to Pennsylvania’s highly touted universities, Wolf said he wasn’t aiming for a laugh. “We’re an underachiever,” Wolf said.

OBAMA – “YOU’RE SO DREAMY & HANDSOME”

Now that Chris Martin has dropped this vacuous twit for Jennifer Lawrence, it looks like she wants some dark meat. This is the type of person Barack Obama associates with. She’s a brain dead, spoiled, rich, Hollywood starlet who has nothing in common with any average person in this country.

This picture shows Gwynth Paltrow practically drooling at the sight of Obama in her Brentwood, LA garden on Thursday night. Lending out her big backyard for a $1,000-$15,000-a-plate Democratic Party fundraiser, the “de-coupled” Hollywood starlet went all tongue tied:

“You’re so handsome I can’t speak,” she managed to gush out, adding that she was one of his “biggest fans, if not the biggest.”

The WSJ reporter who was on the scene said she earned a high-five from her daughter Apple as she sat down.

She also praised Obama’s green energy efforts, and then his advocacy for equal pay for women “something very important to me as a working mother.”  Back in March, Paltrow took some flack from the female species over this little gem:

“I think it’s different when you have an office job, because it’s routine and, you know, you can do all the stuff in the morning and then you come home in the evening…I think to have a regular job and be a mom is not as, of course there are challenges, but it’s not like being on set.”

Oh and she managed to fire this comment off to her audience, which included Julia Roberts and Bradly Whitford, as well before she sat down:

“It would be wonderful if we gave this man all of the power that he needs to pass the things that he needs to pass.”

SILLY WABBIT FOR PRESIDENT IN 2016

Our democracy has finally been perfected. The time has come to elect a person who reflects the inner soul of our nation. I think everyone would agree that V Stiviano is that person. The time has come for the nation to be ruled by a downright moron. V Stiviano in 2016. I think a Stiviano/Sterling candidacy would be unbeatable.

“As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”

DO YOU TAKE SELFIES & LAUGH LIKE A BLITHERING IDIOT AT A FUNERAL?

This is the fucking leader of the free world? WTF happened to the people of this country that they could possibly elect this fucking lightweight imbecile – TWICE?

 

He truly does represent the inner soul of the American people.

Tuesday (Un)Humor: Selfies At A Funeral

Tyler Durden's picture

Probably the largest and most watched funeral (memorial service) of the modern era and it appears President Obama just could not resist a selfie with Denmark’s leggy blond PM (oh and David Cameron)… as an aside, it seems FLOTUS was not amused.
