I must admit, it takes some getting used to.

The young bloke cried off Waiotapu thermal area because the stench was too much.

After the first couple of days you stop noticing it.

What a fucking moron.

Purely for show, because it's shit as a close-combat weapon.

I'm guessing he's trying to make up for something.

It was apparently part of an anti-lockdown protest...

I think the guy was asked if he would eat outside.

Huh, I was unaware anywhere had distancing rules in place in 2023.

The Constitution is sacred!

What could be more American than a fatal shooting at a birthday party?

My mind boggles at the idea of patting down guests, but obviously it was both necessary and unsuccessful.

For today's version of American Stupid, we return to that most glorious moment of American history, January 6, 2021.

So, the recent development is that lots and lots of new video footage from the day of the riot was released to the press yesterday. Here's the MAGA take on it:

This new video shows lots of peaceful people just strolling around, not being violent. That proves that the media/Democratic story about January 6 is a lie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The mind boggles at the stupid.

I listen to talk radio, and hear plenty of this idiocy. It isn't just Tucker Carlson. I heard other people saying the same thing, and repeating the same talking points.

One of those talking points is that it shows Capitol Police, inside the Capito Building, are walking with people, and not arresting them on the spot. Sebastian Gorka jusl wondered aloud whether those officers should be charged with aiding and abetting a crime, since the people they were walking with were ultimately arrested.

However, there was one thing that was so stupid it made me decide to post here for the benefit of those of you who might not get US media coverage and therefore might have thought you had already heard something as stupid as it could possibly get. So, Brian Sicknick (sp?) was a Capitol Police officer. I say was, because he's dead. The stupid thing being said is that this new footage proves he was not killed in the riot, the way the media says. It shows him leaving the Capitol grounds. The media are lying to you!!!!! He didn't die in the riot!!!!!

Of course, I've never heard that he died during the riot. He died the next day, as was reported by all the media I've ever heard. He got bonked on the head during the riot, The next day he died of a blood clot in the brain.

I suppose it's just a straw man sort of argument, as we see all the time, but it's just blantantly, obviously, and verifiably false. It's just wrong. I have never heard anyone say he died during the riot, just that he died as a result of the riot. That's not quite provable, it is conceivable that a healthy young man can drop dead for no known reason, but if he happened to have been hit very hard in the head the day before, doctors are goint to start their investigation with that, because, well, that has been known to kill people, even if they don't die right away, or even feel more than an ouchie right away.

I;m not hyperpartisan. I point out false things that Democrats believe sometimes. However, this kind of just plain old falsehood of easily verifiable facts shows that something is severely amiss in America. Anyone who believes such an easily verified falsehood is just too stupid, or deluded, to deserve a democracy. Sadly, there are lots of people in America, on all sides of the political spectrum, who believe that nonsense, but in the case of the MAGA crowd, it's pretty much universal, and while I don't think Trump can win again, the fact that he is considered anything more than a bad dream is a true stain on America. At this point, his whole candidacy is built on this sort of lie. I fear for my country, once more.
