So now to our regular feature, Two Weeks of Stupid: Clowns and Outrages. And as usual, we are starting with some Clowns.Okay, right at the top, we've done it again. I swear, Americans can be such clowns.
According to a Morning Consult poll, even as tensions between the US and Iran were rising in the wake of the assassination of Gen. Qassem Soleimani, only 23% of registered voters could locate Iran on an unlabled map of the world. Only 28% could do it even on a map zoomed in to just Europe, north Africa, and the Middle East.
Even broken down by sex, age, political party, education, and income, in not one subcategory of any of those groupings did the figure rise above 39%.
Notably, there were no statistical differences in support for the strike - or on a host of broader related questions - between those who could identify Iran on a map and those who could not. You know enough about the world to find Iran on a map? Makes no difference to what you think about the assassination. Have no flipping idea where it is - some guesses put it in the middle of the US? Makes no difference.
We really are clowns.

Two days after the assassination of Qassem Soleimani, at the very time tensions threatened to spiral totally out of control, Tweetie-pie The Lesser thought it was a great time to post a photo of himself to Instagram showing him smiling while holding a custom AR-15 rifle adorned not only with an image of Hillary Clinton behind bars but also a “Crusader” cross, which has become a symbol of a Christian religious war against Islam and is now used by white supremacists.
He referred to the images as "adding a little extra awesome" to his manhood machine. I see them as describing a spoiled rich kid imagining himself as daringly poking an Iranian hornet's nest while knowing he'd not be among the ones stung.
Idiot. Dolt. Clown.

Former Navy SEAL Edward Gallagher - you remember him, he was the one who was so bloodthirsty in Afghanistan that he was turned in by members of his own platoon, who called him “evil” and “toxic” but after being convicted at court-martial was pardoned by Tweetie-pie - yeah, that Edward Gallagher, has started his own line of clothing. It's called Salty Frog, a nickname for retired SEALs, and is described as a “coastal lifestyle brand with an edge.”
You'd think being an accused war criminal would not be a good foundation for a business, but it appears that these days you'd be wrong.

Earlier this month, singer, self-proclaimed sex god, and walking illustration of the Dunning-Kruger Effect Meat Loaf said he “feels” for Greta Thunberg, claiming she has been "brainwashed" and "forced into" into believing in climate change is real - which, he insists, it isn't.
Hey, Mr. Loaf as the New York Times has called you, you may think 2 out of 3 ain't bad, but when it comes to being a clown, you're not just 3 out of 3, you're 10 out of 10.
Oh and by the way: Australia is still on fire.
