There Is No Defense Against Stupidity
In a fog of lies about making Gaza the 'new Riviera,' a bigger Trump lie gets immediately fact-checked by Saudi Arabia.
Do you see this war-torn neighborhood? Don’t blink because before you know it, this street will be filled with some of the world’s most luxurious hotels, streets lined with fashionable boutiques, and cork trees to provide shade. There might even be an “all-you-can-eat humus” place if we are lucky — well, let me say more accurately if someone mixes up a bowl of really-super-pooper good humus for Dear Leader and he falls in love with it.
Dear Leader is, of course, Donald Trump, our beloved president and developer-in-chief.
Donald Trump is used to speaking to stupid people. Stupid people love listening to his fairytales, which lure them into a stupor, and like drooling zombies, they go out into the world confident that their burning pants are actually good for their private parts — “It’ll hurt a little, but the pain will lead to a gain, bro.” What Trump doesn’t realize, though, is that more than half of the country isn’t part of the cult. We see through his blitzkrieg of lunacy and lies. We know damn well that no U.S. bulldozers will ever be “removing the ruins of Gaza,” as Trump so callously said yesterday, and a new U.S. own French Riviera will rise like a phoenix from the death and destruction.
We know this won’t happen because just like Trump never built even a single public toilet during his first administration, and just like his tariffs were smacked away by President Sheinbaum of Mexico and Premier Trudeau of Canada, very little Trump says ever gets implemented — unless “Leon” Musk is in charge of it.
Trump’s off-the-cuff announcement that he wants to annex Gaza, with the fascist murderer Benjamin Netanyahu sitting nearby, was the latest crock of steaming excrement meant to distract his cult of dumbasses — and yes, the overwhelming majority of Trumpists are dumbasses, and I don’t care if this offends them or not! Trump’s announcement was like a sparkly lure designed to distract, and it worked like a goddamn charm. The world’s papers today are filled with this latest bout of deception.
However, what many in the world are not paying attention to is the greatest lie of all the lies tossed out like candy at a parade yesterday. When one of the reporters managed to snap back to reality and realize that Trump was doing it again — “Here he goes again!” — a question was asked whether Saudi Arabia still insisted on a separate Palestinian state. Trump, without thinking, just said, “No. Nope.”
Here is what Saudi Arabia said.
Saudi Arabia said it would not establish ties with Israel without the creation of a Palestinian state, contradicting President Donald Trump’s claim that Riyadh was not demanding a Palestinian homeland when he said the U.S. wants to take over the Gaza Strip.
In a shocking announcement, Trump said on Tuesday the United States would take over the war-ravaged enclave after Palestinians are resettled elsewhere and develop it economically. He was speaking at a joint press conference with visiting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Saudi Arabia rejects any attempts to displace the Palestinians from their land, Saudi Arabia’s foreign ministry said in a statement on Wednesday, adding that its stance towards the Palestinians is not negotiable.
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has affirmed the kingdom’s position in ‘a clear and explicit manner’ that does not allow for any interpretation under any circumstances, the statement said (No Ties With Israel Without Palestinian State).
Trump’s proposal to relocate the remaining Gazans and turn Gaza into a pre-revolutionary Cuba is probably not what the Muslims of the U.S., the naive kids, and other clueless liberals who sat out the election — or voted for Trump — had been hoping for. Knowing what we knew then would be Trump’s approach to a war-torn Gaza, and now knowing what they know because Trump confirmed he does not give a shit about Gaza, I wonder if these silly people would still vote for Trump — or not vote at all.
We are not stupid, but like it says above, there is no defense against the stupid. This is why they goosestep deeper into our national soul year after year. Stupidity sinks to the bottom, and rock after rock piles higher and higher. The truth is fragile, and like boiling water, it transforms into steam and wafts away out of sight, gone forever except for some moisture on the vent directly above the stove.
Thank you, thank you and again, thank you B
