Our country's biggest problem: Unserious people being taken seriously. [View all]

Like a Loony Toons cartoon, it was inevitable that idiotic Dipshits would play a game of "shoot it now, shoot it later, don't shoot it at all" with this Chinese Balloon bullshit. Unfortunately, those idiotic Dipshits aren't the drunk morons at the Moose Lodge in Dumbfuckistan, 'Murika, or your uncle pontificating philosophically after a half-dozen PBRs. No! These are idiotic Dipshits that have real power.

Of course, since enough of your moronic neighbors and family members gave those Dipshits power, the MSM absolutely "MUST" report breathlessly about their opinions.

One thing missing from those media reports, is the one-thing most critical to this entire outrageous clown-show.

That issue is simply this - These people are completely UNSERIOUS people. By their very actions and statements, they have shown that they don't deserve one-fucking-second of our serious thoughts.

It's not "news" to cover ignorance, but that's exactly what our news does.

Reporting on morons with rifles saying they are "going to shoot down" a fucking balloon hovering at 60,000 feet is fucking fantasy.

Treating Retrumplican cartoon characters as "serious" people, with "serious" opinions is criminal.

The media might as well get people like Marge Green, Paul Gosar, Tom Cotton, Josh Hawley and the hundreds of other Dipshits that tried to violently destroy American Democracy, to share their opinions on the importance of supporting Democracy.

The media might as well treat Gym Jordan's "respect for Congressional Subpoenas" as a fucking serious thing.

But wait...THE FUCKING MEDIA "IS" DOING EXACTLY THAT

I have been forced to take a bunch of ignorant dipshits seriously, that I know with every fiber of my being, deserve not one-fucking-second of my serious thoughts.

You just know that those ignorant fucksticks are going to bring balloons to the SOTU, because these are entirely unserious people, with unserious supporters, that spew unserious policies.

It's way past the time to treat them as the cartoon-characters they are.
