DUMBCON and Gohmert-Greene Score Updates

The last time I updated the National Stupidity Condition (DUMBCON) was on October 22nd of last year, when we went from DUMBCON Zero ("Stupid Beyond Your Worst Nightmares") to DUMBCON Minus One ("Forget It, Just Hide Under Your Bed") in preparation for the election. Since the return of Der Furor to the White House, the situation has deteriorated far more quickly than I had expected, and I find myself forced to update the stupidity level yet again. To accommodate the current situation, I have had to go all the way back to 2018 for a version of the DUMBCON scale able to handle the breadth and depth of stupidity cascading from Der Furor and his teeming MAGAts:

In order to keep up with the cascading ass-clownery, I have decided to raise the DUMBCON by an unprecedented two levels. Ladies and Gentlemen, Dear Readers, we are skipping DUMBCON Minus Two ("What a Bunch of S**t") and going directly to

DUMBCON Minus Three

("Please God, Make It Stop")

I wish I could tell you that this is as high (or low) as we'll need to go, but the lower the bar, the harder this administration works to limbo under it. The highest DUMBCON level we ever reached was Minus Five ... and at the rate we're going, it'll be breached soon.

In addition to raising the DUMBCON at the national level, I am also assigning a permanent minimum score of 1,500,000 gags (the upper limit of "Dangerously Stupid") on the Gohmert-Greene Stupidity Scale to a number of current and prospective members of the administration, based on their past records, public comments, and suitability for their positions.

The individuals receiving the initial score of 1,500,000 gags are:

President Elon Musk; 

Der Furor;

Vice President JD Vance;

Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt;

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth;

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent;

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem;

Commerce Secretary Nominee Howard Lutnick;

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy;

Health and Human Services Secretary Nominee Robert F. Kennedy, Jr;

Attorney General Nominee Pam Bondi;

Education Secretary Nominee Linda McMahon;

FBI Director Nominee Kash Patel;

Director of National Intelligence Nominee Tulsi Gabbard;

OMB Director Nominee Russ Vought; and

UN Ambassador Nominee Elise Stefanik

I am provisionally withholding a decision on a permanent minimum score for other officials with whom I am less familiar.

Stand by for updates on both the DUMBCON and the awarding of Gohmert-Greene scores.

Have a good day, and guard yourself against the relentless gaslighting.

More thoughts coming.
