We need a new word. Calling the high-decibel pronouncements of the MAGAloons and Q-ANONics

merely "stupid" I like characterizing a root-canal without anesthesia "uncomfortable".

I propose "FUBARISHUS"; FUBAR, of course, being the WWII acronym for "Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition".

If that doesn't suit you, how about "Guanorific" or "facepalmative".

"Stupid" is just insufficient.

“Thou woldest make me kisse thyn old breech, And swere it were a relyk of a saint, Though it were with thy fundement depeint!… I wolde I hadde thy coillons in myn hond… Lat kutte hem of”

Geoffrey Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales: “You’d have me kiss your old trousers and swear they were the relic of a saint, even though they’re stained with your s—… I wish I had your balls in my hand… I’d cut them off.”

"deplorable"? They think it's awesome to be deplorable. I just call them MAGAts or Qnuts.

FUBAR would work for both the pronouncements and, when extremely exasperated, those they came from.

(The adjective form would probably be "fubaricious," or perhaps "fubaritious"? )
