For some reason known only to her, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) seems to have a pathological need to repeatedly humiliate herself by posting incredibly vapid and moronic crap on social media where the entire world can see her stupidity and laugh.
Such is the case with a bizarre tweet Boebert sent out Saturday afternoon shortly after President Joe Biden spoke at the end of the G7 summit in Great Britain. Biden has repeatedly said he will be taking a harder line with China, which prompted this head-scratching take from the Colorado congresswoman:
China is looking an awful lot like 1930s Germany.
The policy of appeasement didn't work then. It won't work now.
History doesn't repeat itself, but it definitely rhymes.
We’ve all known for some time that failed, one-term former President Donald Trump isn’t exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer, but something he said Monday morning during a phone interview with Fox Business host Stuart Varney may well go down on the Annals of Trump as one of the most absurd things ever uttered by a human being in the 21st Century.
Varney asked Trump how he thought the United States could best respond to cyberattacks such as the ones recently perpetuated by Russian hackers against the Colonial Pipeline and JBS Foods. The ex-president replied:
“The way you stop it is you go back to a much more old-fashioned form of accounting and things. You know, I have a son who is so good with computers. He’s a young person and he can make these things sing and when you put everything on internet and on all of these machines — you never see a piece of paper — I really think that you have to go back to a different form of accounting, a different form of compiling information.”
Trump then complained that “young people… can’t walk without computers,” adding:
“As a young person, my 15-year-old son is, you know, he’s just a genius with this stuff. And you have people that are going to break into systems. I think you have to go back and you have to be much more reliant, there has to be much better security.”
Seconds later, however, Trump proved that he knows diddly about anything related to cybersecurity, telling Varney:
“I don’t know how the hell they get paid, by the way, Stuart. You’re going to have to explain that to me.”
Yeah, good luck with that! Varney and a team of computer experts could “explain” the process to Donald for hours and he still wouldn’t have a clue.
Varney told Trump:
“They get paid through Bitcoin.”
That led Trump down another mental rabbit hole as he blathered:
“That’s another beauty. The currency of this world should be the dollar. And I don’t think we should have all of the Bitcoins of the world out there. I think they should regulate them very, very high.”
Though it may be hard to believe, it’s quite obvious that Donald Trump has gotten significantly dumber since he left office. At this rate, by the end of the summer, he’ll be drooling on himself and demanding that someone bring him an abacus so he can attempt to count his fingers.
If you didn’t catch any of failed, one-term former President Donald Trump’s bizarre and often incomprehensible speech to Republicans in North Carolina on Saturday evening, you didn’t actually miss anything other than him claiming for the ten-millionth time that the 2020 election had been stolen and his suggestion that he may run for office again in 2022 or 2024.
However, there was one odd moment after Trump had finished his remarks (which went on for 90 freaking minutes!): He stepped away from the podium and it suddenly became clear that there was something terribly wrong with the front of his pants. Take a look:

Wait a damn minute! Don’t pants have a zipper on the front of them? So where’s the zipper? Is Donnie wearing pull-ups? Or did he actually put his pants on backwards?
So many damn questions! Which is why we have Twitter to help us figure things out. Let the trolling begin:
Did Trump not have a single staffer with the guts to tell him that he put his pants on backwards last night? pic.twitter.com/92LPkg6lWz
Uhhh, Jon- hate to tell you. Those are likely pull up pants to cover his Depends, which are wrapped in an industrial strength girdle. And, the only reason you put those on anyone, is for quick and easy diaper changes. And, this is the leader of the GOP.
We asked Donald Trump what the main focus of his NC speech would be. He said, "Depends. But definitely something backward." #Trumppantspic.twitter.com/TJOjwXQ8GP

Random Thoughts from a Hospital Bed: (No Judgment Edition):
A FORMER president giving a speech about the country moving in the wrong direction while wearing his pants on backwards is just about all my astonishment can take. #TrumpSpeech#Trumppants#pants#PantsOnBackwards
Anyone laying odds on how long before every Republican begins wearing his or her pants backwards to curry favor with Trump supporters? And who will be the first? Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, or Josh Hawley?
Perhaps you thought Fox News couldn’t possibly get any lower or more disgusting, If so, then you might be interested to know that Fox host Greg Gutfeld is actually saying he hopes Russian President Vladimir Putin kills President Joe Biden when they meet for a summit on June 16 in Geneva.
During a discussion of recent cyber attacks by Russian entities on the United States according to Crooks and Liars, most of the co-hosts said Biden should refuse to meet with Putin, even though they had no problem with failed, one-term former President Donald Trump doing so and kissing Putin’s butt every chance he got.
Co-host Dagen McDowell was adamant, insisting that meeting with Russia was a gift that Biden should refuse to grant Putin.
That’s when Gutfeld spoke up, proudly declaring:
“I gotta disagree, if he holds firm you know, there’s going to be something we can get out of this. There’s going to be something. If Putin decides to have them killed. That’s something. You know? It’s possible.”
The director of the show immediately cut to a commercial, but Gutfeld never said he was kidding or clarified what he had wished for. And worst of all, he still hasn’t been taken off the air and fired!
If nothing else, Gutfeld should get a visit from the Secret Service and have the shit scared out of him.
UPDATE: Jessica Ketner of the Fox News media relations department insists Gutfeld wasn’t referring to Putin killing Biden:
“Greg does not suggest Putin may kill President Biden. Greg said Putin could have the hackers killed.”
In a desperate attempt to pretend he’s still relevant, Eric Trump sent out a tweet that raised questions about his mental stability and left most people scratching their heads.
HuffPost notes that Eric wanted to announce that he’d just unsubscribed from the email list of Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris:
“Ex-President Donald Trump’s son shared what appeared to be a screenshot showing a successful unsubscribe. Checked was a box explaining it was because ‘the emails are inappropriate.’
“Trump captioned his post with the #unsubscribe hashtag.”
How pathetic was the tweet? So much so that Eric later deleted it, but not before everyone had seen it. That set off a wave of mockery aimed in Eric’s direction:
There’s an old saying that certainly applies to every member of the Trump family: Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
