Apparently Right Wing MAGAT Nutjobs Do Not Understand What A Democratic Constitutional Republic Is

A couple times previous I have blogged about an individual who was in my high school class, who did not attain sufficient credits to graduate. Previous to that he had been held back a couple years. This individual posts regularly on Facebook, sharing his learned observations.

I find this individual's mind meanderings interesting. Methinks he is representative of much of the right wing nutjob world, also known as Trump MAGATS. 

If you do not have exposure to the type nonsense this guy spews, and thinks to be true, you can't know how totally ridiculous that which these types believe to be true, is. It is downright appalling.

I know some of can be explained by the Dunning-Kruger Effect, basically people too stupid to know they are stupid. But still, with all our modern era means of checking information, it is almost like you must have to almost work at it to remain so woefully stupid.

I refer to the person to which I am referring, as Pal Duller. The two previous blog posts about this individual were Right Wing Nutjob Facebook Plea for Mr. Trump to Save Seattle & Washington and Pal Duller Thinks Obama Began America's Downfall & Washington's Communist Governor is Destroying 90% of the Population

In today's blog post about Pal Duller's Facebook spewing's I am sharing some of the more embarrassing right wing nutjob MAGAT type postings.

The one above is a classic. You see this frequently. Right wing nutjobs who do not understand what a Constitutional Republic is, or what a Democracy is, think this makes sense.

It really takes little effort, via Googling, to alleviate one out of their woeful ignorance about this Democratic Constitutional Republic subject.

The above is classic bizarro world right wing nutjob nonsense. Leftists are usually well-educated, which is what causes them to be progressive and liberal. And thus, deal with actual facts when operating in this world. Whilst rightists of our modern era do not much deal with facts. They mostly deal with ignorant opinion, based on nothing factual.

How can Pal Duller be a few years older than me and not know that one needs a voter's registration card, to vote, along with another identification, like a driver's license. Has Pal Duller never voted?

The right wing nutjob MAGAT sorts have really been thrown a loop by the fact that on Saturday the NO KINGS Protests became the largest mass protest in American history. That, and the NO KING Protests happened world-wide. I am assuming the above meme, where the guy says "So I went to the "no kings" protest today..." is supposed to indicate that the massive protests were a gay thing. Is that what this means? Sometimes the stupid is really hard to figure out.

Again, another bizarro world right wing nutjob MAGAT meme which is the opposite of reality. Again, too stupid to know they are stupid.

Oh yes, I am sure whoever created the above meme thought they were being totally clever, totally making a valid point. Whilst having zero clue that what they were actually doing was advertising how woefully stupid and clueless they are.

This has been just one day's sampling of Pal Duller's Facebook postings. Maybe I'll make a habit of sharing the Duller's postings, so as to give those who do not have direct exposure to the right wing nutjob twisted mindset, examples of the type lunacy which causes them to utter the idiotic nonsense they way too often ignorantly utter...

Anti-Immigrant Demonizing Takes Me Back To My Family History & Know Nothing MAGATS

My Dutch ancestors arrived in America way back in 1882. Of those who made the float from Holland to America, the only one still here, for me to know, when I arrived, was my Great Grandma Tillie. Great Grandma Tillie's funeral was the first such I remember attending.

Great Grandma Tillie was married to Great Grandpa John. Great Grandpa John died before I was born. My Great Grandparents migrated from Holland with Great Grandpa John's parental units, my Great Great Grandpa Cornelis and Great Great Grandma Aagje.

I may have some names spelled wrong.

Upon arrival in America my ancestors moved to several locations, looking for a place to permanently call home. Including a short stay in Texas. Eventually my Great Grandpa John was sent, solo, via train, to the West Coast, to extreme north Washington, near the border with Canada, because they'd heard there was a Dutch community, called Lynden there.

Great Grandpa John returned from Lynden to tell his family that the area was like Holland, but with big mountains. He brought back a pinecone to give them an idea of how big the trees were. Soon the family made the trek west, farming a large track of land a couple miles east of Lynden.

In the photo you are looking at some of the Slotemaker farm land. That is my niece, Ruby, sitting on my shoulder, under the road sign which is named after us.

That photo was taken in August of 2017. I have not been back to Washington since then.

All the fussing about immigration, illegal aliens, undocumenteds and such, has had me wondering about how my ancestors came to be American.

On August 11, 2001, I was in Washington, at my mom and dad's 50th Wedding Anniversary party.

At that party I was given a box of family photos, and other documents, which I then brought back with me to Texas.

Among those documents were two family histories. One of which you see photo documented on the right.

From these documents I learned, for the first time, how my ancestors came to be in America.

A month after mom and dad's 50th on August 11, a week after I got back to Texas, 9/11 arrived and changed the world we live in.

This somehow made me suddenly have an interest in my family history. I began scanning all the photos I took back to Texas with me.

Soon I became making a Slotemaker Family History website. It soon became huge. 

Then on July 22, 2002, the largest reunion in family history took place, at the Lynden Fairgrounds.

At the top, that is a coffee cup from that reunion, sitting on my laptop, with the Slotemaker website on the screen. (That website is no longer on-line, but still exists)

Yet, with all this family interaction I still do not know the precise means by which my ancestors entered America. Did they have some sort of visa when they left Holland? Where did they enter America? Ellis Island? Were they what we call undocumented aliens nowadays?

This whole anti-immigrant hate speaking totally annoys me. The demonizing is so wrong. And America has a long history of such.

Way back in the first half of the 1850s, before the Civil War, there was a short-lived political party called the American Party. Made up of what the sorts we now call MAGATS.

The better educated Americans of that era took to calling the American Party the Know Nothings. Again, the Know Nothings were what we now call MAGATS.

Like the MAGATS, the Know Nothings demonized immigrants, particularly the Irish and Catholics, whilst being ardent advocates of native-born Protestant dominance.

Sound familiar? 

The most famous Know Nothing MAGAT of the 1850s, the Donald Trump of that era, was Millard Fillmore, the 13th President of the United States...

Pal Duller Thinks Obama Began America's Downfall & Washington's Communist Governor is Destroying 90% of the Population

 A few days ago I blogged about a Right Wing Nutjob Facebook Plea for Mr. Trump to Save Seattle & Washington who was in the same high school class I was in, but he was a couple years older, due to being held back a couple times.

He was not able to graduate high school due to being unable to acquire the required number of credits.

But, due to the times we live in, with the advent of social media,. a woefully ignorant, high school dropout, can share his delinquent ideas with the world. 

Such was not the case just a few decades ago. The ignorant nutjobs among us did not have an outlet where they could share their stupidity. They had to join things like the Klu Klux Klan or John Birch Society or other such things to find other equally ignorant sorts, willing to listen to nonsense.

This latest instance of mentioning this subject again, was brought about by the two items you see above.

The first is something the entity copied and shared. We can tell it was not his original creation due to the formatting, the proper spelling and grammar. Well, there should have been an apostrophe between a and s, indicating a possessive noun, when typing about America's alleged downfall. But that is an extremely minor mistake.

But that second item, that is class Pal Duller. Ignorant nonsense, spelling errors, grammar errors, punctuation errors.

I have no desire to actually ever be in the same room with Pal Duller, or his like sorts, again. He has shown up at recent high school reunion events, even though he did not graduate. He is not the only person who had the same education opportunities I did, but ended up being a right wing nutjob. Pal Duller is just the worst of the lot, as far as I have seen.

Trump's Un-Inspiring Presidential 2025 Memorial Day Message to America

The United States current president, Donald Trump, with his un-inspiring 2025 Memorial Day message to America.

Above is a screen cap image from Donald Trump's official Real Donald Trump's Truth Social social media creation. 

Trump's' deranged message is copied below in copiable text form, for easy sharing. And below that, a collection of comments about his inspiring presidential message, gleaned from a Facebook posting of the message.
 
HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY TO ALL, INCLUDING THE SCUM THAT SPENT THE LAST FOUR YEARS TRYING TO DESTORY OUR COUNTRY THROUGH WARPED RADICAL LEFT MINDS, WHO ALLOWED 21,000,000 MILLION PEOPLE TO ILLEGALLY ENTER OUR COUNTRY, MANY OF THEM BEING CRIMINALS AND THE MENTALLY INSANE, THROUGH AND OPEN BORDER THAT ONLY AN INCOMPETENT PRESIDENT WOULD APPROVE, AND THROUGH JUDGES WHO ARE ON A MISSION TO KEEP MURDERERS, DRUG DEALERS, RAPISTS, GANG MEMBERS, AND RELEASED PRISONERS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD, IN OUR COUNTRY SO THEY CAN ROB, MURDER, AND RAPE AGAIN---ALL PROTECTED BY THESE USE HATING JUDGES WHO SUFFER FROM AN IDEOLOGY THAT IS SICK, AND VERY DANGEROUS FOR OUR COUNTRY, HOPEFULLY THE UNITED STATES SUPRREME COURT, AND OTHER GOOD AND COMPASSIONATE JUDGES THROUGHOUT THE LAND, WILL SAVE US FROM THE DECISIONS OF THE MONSTERS WHO WANT OUR COUNTRY TO GO TO HELL, BUT FEAR NOT, WE HAVE MADE GREAT PROGRESS OVER THE LAST 4 MONTHS, AND AMERICA WILLSOON BE SAFE AND GREAT AGAIN. HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY, AND GOD BLESS AMERICA!

The collection of comments....

What a wonderful, inspiring message honoring those who gave their all for our country. Right on par with his West Point Cadet graduation ceremony word salad rally.

I want to laugh listening to his speeches this past weekend yet realizing how serious this is. Does he have dementia? Who knows?

What a clueless small minded man!

He needs a mental exam. He’s been off his rocker for quite a while, and we are stuck with him.

I mean how can one not feel Patriotic when reading this?

He doesn’t even mention the reason for the holiday. Those who died fighting for our country will always be suckers and losers to him. Veterans take note.

“Monsters” … that would be the current criminal administration trying to send our country to hell. Such disrespect to our veterans, to our active military… to those who gave their lives serving our country.

Who writes in all caps??? This is one angry old man, who sounds like he’s losing his mind. Surely the MAGA Republicans must be starting to see his mental state is failing.

He uses every single holiday as an occasion to spew hatred. Can't let an iota of good will escape from his despicable mouth.

I have never been so embarrassed about our nation as I am now.

Basically, Memorial Day is just an excuse to write his conspiracy rants and false information. He is full of rage and hate and not mentally stable.

Imagine using Memorial Day — a day to honor fallen soldiers — to spew hate and division. This post isn’t patriotic, it’s toxic. You can love your country without vilifying entire groups of people, judges, or political opponents. True leadership unites; it doesn’t incite.

He doesn't know or understand what Memorial Day is for. Not one word honoring the fallen or the sacrifice of real American Heros. He is disgusting.

Happy Memorial Day to all those who believe in the concept of Human Rights, and the concepts Justice for all and trial by a jury of peers. Happy Memorial Day to those who respect others, who fight against discrimination, who work for a world of liberty and Justice for all, not just for a few. Happy Memorial Day to all the families mourning a loved one who has died from violence, or war, or malnutrition. Happy Memorial Day to all those teachers who try to bring students from the darkness of ignorance and prejudices to the light of truth and scientific facts! Happy Memorial Day to all those who work for Peace and try to right the wrongs that some have brought onto others because of their differences, their ideologies or their misguided concept that human rights do not stand for equality for all. Peace and Love to all those who mistakenly confuse brotherhood with communism and liberty with left wing crazy folks. I am not crazy, but I do firmly believe in the necessity and goodness of human rights for all the humans on our planet!

Right Wing Nutjob Facebook Plea for Mr. Trump to Save Seattle & Washington

I gleaned these nuggets of wisdom from the Facebook page of an entity who was in my high school graduating class, but was unable to graduate, due to not having passed, successfully, enough classes to earn a high school diploma.

It impresses me that someone so ill-educated feels he has the knowledge level and understanding of complex issues, sufficiently, to give himself permission, and the delusion required, to share his thoughts.

For this type thing we have social media to thank.

Prior to social media the masses of the ignorant had no means to share "there" insights in such a broad manner.

Grammar, spelling and punctuation mistakes are a common trait among these sorts.

Of today's three postings from my former classmate which I combined as one, it is the one at the top I believe to be a product of his cranial misfires. The other two I suspect he copied from a like source. I make this assumption because only the first posting contains the grammar, spelling and punctuation problems which always seem to plague this former classmate.

"please Mr. Trump come save Seattle & Washington from these Dem,lib, perverts ' please ' there doing what calipornia did to there state ' there destroying it ' "

It is truly amazing that someone can share this please Mr. Trump plea and not be embarrassed by it.

And he always gets supportive comments to these embarrassments, with one being a constant, a moronic Skagit Valley lady I'll call Icky Pea Lady.

Another thing perplexing about these type postings, and the posters who post them, is the constant mentioning of Jesus, and God. Posting posts which are the total opposite of the basic teachings of Jesus. 

Do these sorts actually attend a church? I suspect not. 

It is all perplexing...

Has Trump Nonsense Reached Section 4 of the 25th Amendment Invoking Time?

The day after Trump's bizarre social media attack on Bruce Springsteen, which was not only totally not presidential, due to its childish gibberish, embarrassingly immature coming from a 78-year-old adult male, Trump went on a fresh tirade, somehow triggered by President Biden's use of an Auto-Pen to sign Executive Orders.

Trump may have already committed high crimes and misdemeanors, in his second presidential term, warranting impeachment. 

Trump's attacks on Bruce Springsteen, Taylor Swift, and others. And nonsense like this Auto-Pen diatribe may not be impeachable offenses, but they are surely indicative of a man who is not of sound mind.

Dealing with such is why the 25th Amendment was added to the United States Constitution. Section 4 of the 25th Amendment, specifically...

Section 4. Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.

Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.

Article 4 of the 25th Amendment has only been considered for invocation twice. Once when President Ronald Reagan was shot. And a second time after the January 6 United States Capitol attack, President Donald Trump was accused of having incited the incident, and by evening some of his Cabinet members were reportedly considering trying to get Vice President Mike Pence to agree to invoke Section 4.

Methinks the majority of Americans, and the majority of the citizens of the rest of the World, agree, something needs to be done about Trump. And done soon...

Rock Music Lover Trump Critiques Dumb Rocker Bruce Springsteen

Donald Trump, well known for his highly regarded musical tastes and insightful critiques, issued one of his more colorful verbiage bouts about one of the world's top rockers, Bruce Springsteen.

Following is Trump's Springsteen critique, followed by what Springsteen said which caused Trump to offer his obviously well thought out opinion...

“I see that Highly Overrated Bruce Springsteen goes to a Foreign Country to speak badly about the President of the United States. Never liked him, never liked his music, or his Radical Left Politics and, importantly, he’s not a talented guy — Just a pushy, obnoxious JERK, who fervently supported Crooked Joe Biden, a mentally incompetent FOOL, and our WORST EVER President, who came close to destroying our Country. If I wasn’t elected, it (the United States) would have been GONE by now! Sleepy Joe didn’t have a clue as to what he was doing, but Springsteen is ‘dumb as a rock,’ and couldn’t see what was going on, or could he (which is even worse!)? This dried out ‘prune’ of a rocker (his skin is all atrophied!) ought to KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT until he gets back into the Country, that’s just ‘standard fare.’ Then we’ll all see how it goes for him!”

And this is what Springsteen said to his concert audience before launching into one of his many hit songs....

“The mighty E Street Band is here tonight to call upon the righteous power of art, of music, of rock ‘n’ roll, in dangerous times. In my home, the America I love, the America I’ve written about, and has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration. Tonight, we ask all who believe in democracy and the best of our American experience to rise with us, raise your voices against the authoritarianism, and let freedom ring.”

Bruce Springsteen is three years younger than Trump. Reading their words, which one seems to come across as a juvenile brat, which one comes across as an adult?
