Stupid Jerk ONT

Not feeling it tonight guys, I had some stuff happen at work that I'm not real happy with. I'll try to pull some stuff together like this stupid jerk chicken.

Stupid Jerk Romney

Romney’s Entire Career Has Been About Punishing Republicans For Voting For Him

Romney is an “inveterate chameleon” whose political opinions are not founded upon any transcendent principles but based solely upon what he perceives as capable of granting him the most approval from DC sycophants.

He attempts to portray himself as a moral bulwark, but as the above shifts in opinion indicate, many of his political leanings seem to be more a product of self-interest than of genuine moral clarity. In the coming days, he will be paraded around by the media as the model Republican for all the reasons GOP voters increasingly dislike him. Contrary to the media’s deification of Romney as the only principled figure within the GOP, it’s ironically all politics to him. No principles.

Nailed it.

Was Mitt Romney’s vote the fulfillment of a Mormon prophecy?

While I'm sure Romney views himself as a staunch moral crusader (when in fact he's one of the least principled politicians in the country, see the quote from the first article above), the fact of the matter is that Constitutionally, his vote was meaningless. Vote convict, vote acquit, abstain...it doesn't matter. His vote wasn't the deciding vote in any way, shape or form. Save the Constitution, hanging by a thread? Please. Feed your ego, roaring through your head is more like it.

Stupid Jerk Media

The media love anti-Trump ‘Republican strategists' and 'experts' because the media love drama

Non-Binary Ben had this to say about the SOTU:

Now I don't dislike Ben as much as the boss does, and I give him credit for at least going to hotbeds of liberal brainwashing and engaging the SJWs, but come on, this is stupid. As much as I think that it would be a better world if the SOTU was still delivered by courier to the Speaker, that's not the world we live in, the SOTU is a once a year, media circus event that guarantees Trump a wide audience nationwide. If he were to announce that he was going to give an important speech March 3rd on opportunity scholarships, followed by a speech April 15th on tax cuts and one May 9th on banning late term abortions, how much press do you think he would get? Either none or carefully crafted negative press. Nobody would carry these great speeches, nobody except those in attendance would hear them. Trump's Twitter account is his way of living inside the media's OODA loop, and the only way he has of cracking the media wall that surrounds him. I'm sure that Ben would prefer a president who adopts W's “lie back and think of the dignity of the office” approach to being gang raped by the media, Ben's the high school debate club type, where everybody gets their turn to deliver measured responses. Unfortunately, we don't live in that world anymore, this is a back alley knife fight and “With respect to the honored gentleman, I disagree” gets you nothing but 6” of steel in the belly. The media created, if not Trump, then the demand for someone like Trump. Until the MSM is destroyed utterly and completely, no other type of Republican president will accomplish anything, no matter how “nice” a guy he is.

Stupid Jerk Gangs

Man who was supposed to testify against MS-13 gang members found dead

What an amazingly lucky coincidence for the gang!

Massive MS-13 bust: Officials charge 96 members in gang takedown

And they were smart enough to charge them with a crime that isn't subject to New York's tiptoe through the tulips bail process. Still, the gang is becoming active in the county where I live, including a presence at the high school down the street. I'm not thrilled about that.

Stupid Jerk Clickbait

U.S. States Ranked by Their Food

Can't really argue with Maryland at 15, that's respectable, our crabcakes alone earn us that. Also, the 1 and 2 of California and New York seems right if you don't mind stepping in a street full of shit or getting robbed by a newly bailed out criminal on your way to dinner. What do you think of where your state ranked?

Stupid Jerk Textbooks

14 Hilarious Textbook Illustrations That Will Make You ROFL!

Stupid Jerk Brutalist Architecture

Will the White House Order New Federal Architecture To Be Classical?

I think this is a fabulous idea, just about every government building built since 1960 looks like an abortion. Still, I'd go one further. I am a big supporter of all government buildings being built in the neoclassical style, complete with a labyrinth containing a Minotaur. All bureaucrats must enter through the labyrinth every day.
