Ain't That America XXVII

We’re doing things a bit backwards today and starting with good news, resistance news, and news of a shift in the GOP, before moving on to the Party of Party Over Country, swearing their allegiance to a rapist, racist, predator, adulterer, con artist and war criminal, so let’s go …

In the wake of the Florida’s mandated removal of the Key West’s Pride crosswalks homeowners across the island have made their yards a little brighter by painting seven of their fence posts in rainbow colors.

But alas, the rainbows are also unpermitted in the historic district as Susan Kent learned the hard way when a neighbor, Penny Walker, a self-proclaimed “Christian Republican,” filed a complaint. Kent received a letter from the city’s Historic Architectural Review Commission alerting her that the city had received a complaint from Walker, who took to X to boast about her hate.

Kent painted over her rainbow to come into compliance but also said:

“Don’t worry, I have something else planned.”

This is Resistance ay work.

And in the same vein, St. Petersburg, Florida said it is honoring the Pride street murals removed earlier this by installing eleven “Pride-inspired bike racks” along Central Avenue and 25th Street. The city says the bike racks are “a vibrant way to honor the Pride street murals that were removed earlier this year due to state requirements.”

Again we see the Resistance at work ... in Florida where the city of Miami has elected its first Democrat Mayor in over 30 years!

Last week House of Representatives voted to overturn Cankles’ executive order ending collective bargaining rights for two-thirds of the federal workforce. It marks the first time in Cankles second term that the House secured enough votes to smack his bulbous orange melon.

The measure faces an uphill battle as it heads to the GOP-controlled Senate but the House did its job for a change.

Colorado Governor Jared Polis has told Cankles he cannot pardon Tina Peters:

“Tina Peters was convicted by a jury of her peers, prosecuted by a Republican District Attorney, and found guilty of violating Colorado state laws, including criminal impersonation. No President has jurisdiction over state law nor the power to pardon a person for state convictions. This is a matter for the courts to decide, and we will abide by court orders.”

Snap.

Shortly after that Cankles “symbolically” pardoned Peters which means absolutely nothing.

Indiana Republican state senators voted against a redrawn congressional map that would have favored their party in the 2026 elections, a resounding rejection of a plan pushed by Cankles to help his floundering GOP win all nine of the state’s congressional districts.

Twenty-one senators from the Republican supermajority and all 10 of the chamber’s Democrats voted down the redistricting proposal, which would have split the city of Indianapolis into four districts and potentially eliminated the districts of the state’s two Democratic congressional representatives.

Good on the Indiana GOP.

For a second time in a week, a federal grand jury in Virginia has refused to indict New York Attorney General Letitia James for alleged mortgage fraud and once again told Pam Bondi and her criminal DOJ to pound sand.

My guess is that Pam Bondi will run around Virginia looking for a court to do her dirty work for her but it looks like she won’t have any luck.

Illinois Democrat Representative Delia Ramirez is pressing the House Judiciary Committee to begin impeachment hearings into Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem AKA Border Barbie AKA DogKiller Kristi AKA Koncentration Kamp Kristi.

Michigan Democrat Representative Haley Stevens filed articles of impeachment against HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on a litany of charges mostly related to his efforts to roll back public health measures.

Another Michigan Democrat, Representative Shri Thanedar  filed articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary DUI-hire Pete Hegseth over both Signalgate and a reported double-tap strike on an alleged Venezuelan drug boat in the Caribbean.

If we take the House in November these criminals can be removed from office.

The Secretary of State is America’s top diplomat managing foreign policy, negotiations, passports, and advising the President, but in the case of Marco Rubio it’s also Font Control.

You see, last week Rubio  ordered American diplomats to use the Times New Roman font in official communications and drop Calibri, which was brought in during the Joe Biden administration and is now described as a “woke” font.

Seriously.

As the cost of nearly everything is going up, and the so-called president says the affordability crisis is a Democratic hoax, Ohio GOP Senator Jon Husted has a solution:  

“Look, there are three ways to make things more affordable: earn more, keep more of what you earn, and drive down prices.”

Or maybe vote these self-entitled, multimillionaires who don’t worry about the costs of things out of office.

Nancy Mace, South Carolina’s GOP loon of a Representative is playing the ‘poor me’ card:

“We have to take our security very seriously, if you’re conservative, if you’re well known, if you have fought the transgender community exponentially like I have, in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s public assassination— the death threats, the amount of political violence, the celebration of the killing of conservatives is deeply disturbing …  I had an incident just three weeks ago — it was the last time I was in public — I had a leftist person come up to me aggressively, physically threaten me in front of a group of people, including my security.”

In the three weeks that Mace claims to have been in hiding, she’s made a least a dozen appearances on cable news and has voted on multiple bills before the House, including just a few minutes ago, so once again Nancy Mace shows herself to be a liar.

Cankles and several administration officials have already informally discussed the idea of preemptively pardoning an array of his advisers, policymakers, and others who the president believes will likely be criminally investigated once Democrats are back in power.

But, gosh, is this the regime admitting they are criminals if they are seeking pardons before any charges, much less any investigations, occur?

Ahead of his reelection bid next year, Senator, and former Miss South Carolina Magnolia Queen, Lindsey Graham dropped his support for the Dream Act, a bill to help undocumented immigrants and a bill that he co-sponsored each time it was introduced for nearly a decade, saying:

“Yeah, there will be no Dream Act. Not until you deal with the millions of people here illegally.”

Is he suggesting there are now more undocumented immigrants in this country than were here for the last ten years or … is he just following orders from Cankles so he can have his cotillion at Mar-Illegal?

House Speaker Mike Johnson said the military’s decision to attack an alleged drug-smuggling vessel for a second time to kill survivors of an initial strike was “entirely appropriate” and followed Defense Department rules.

How Christ-like.

Erika Kirk, AKA The Grieving Grifter,  says some of her late husband’s controversial comments, lacked context and that he should not “be deteriorated” to a few sentences. Things like:

“MLK was awful. He's not a good person. He said one good thing he actually didn't believe.”

“There is no separation of church and state. It’s a fabrication, it’s a fiction, it’s not in the constitution. It’s made up by secular humanists.

“The Democrat Party supports everything that God hates,

“This is something that I hope will make Taylor Swift more conservative. Engage in reality more… Reject feminism. Submit to your husband, Taylor. You're not in charge.”

“Black Women do not have the brain processing power to be taken seriously.”

Yes, Erika, I see exactly what you mean … about how Charlie said women should submit their husbands and how they are not I charge and yet here you are making money off the fetid corpse of your former racist husband.

Take a seat, grifter.

Cankles went to the Army-Navy game to do the coin toss and proved himself a bumbling buffoon who cannot even toss a coin; in fact, he looks like he setting a baby bird free, and then points to the ground like a child to where the coin landed:

Help us!

Ain't That America V

Well, what a week or so it's been in America … The Felon has launched a propaganda website …RFK Jr. once again proved himself mentally ill … The Felon admitted that tariffs will hurt Americans … Pam Bondi went full Nazi and stupid  … a Nebraska GOP asshat laid out plans to gut Medicaid while Lying Mike Johnson said there would be no cuts … DOGE is the Cybertruck of government agencies … The Felon’s first 100 days were golf and lies, and lies about golf …the GOP and planes don’t mix …Marco Rubio lived his parent’s dream of becoming an anti-immigrant fascist … the GOP clearly puts party over country, but … the Equality Act is up for a new vote … a wrongfully detained man was released .. Mark Carney and Canada .. pools show The Felon to be the worst … and impeachment charges were brought up …

The White House has launched its own Drudge Report-esque website—White House Wire—to spotlight positive news stories on The Felon.

Talk about your fake news.

Heroin addict and victim of a brain worm, Robert Kennedy Jr claims that the MMR, or Measles, vaccine contains a lot of aborted fetus debris and DNA particles.

No. Seriously.

The Felon acknowledged that toy shortages are possible as his tariff hikes ripple through the economy after the CEOs of Walmart, Target and Home Depot privately warned him about the likelihood of shortages and price spikes.

Huh. It’s almost as if he admits he’s a liar.

In the midst of The Felon’s major immigration crackdown and violent law enforcement techniques, Attorney General Barbie Pam Bondi boasted about her plans to kill American citizens:

“That’s keeping America safe. We’ve rescinded the death penalty. I’m signing death warrants.”

Bondi also claimed that “119 million lives have been saved” due to fentanyl seizures and the next day that number more than doubled to 258 million.

There are 340 million Americans so is she suggesting that anywhere from 35% to 75% of us are hooked on fentanyl or is she just another blithering lying fascist idiot.

Nebraska’s GOP Representative Don Bacon is drawing a red line on Medicaid cuts saying he won’t accept more than $500 billion in reductions to the program.

Just $500B.

On the other side, Hose Speaker Little Lying Mike Johnson, Nationalist Christian or Nat-C, says do not believe the lies the Democrat Party says about the GOP gutting Medicaid.

Even the GOP doesn’t have an effing clue as to what they’re ]doing.

DOGE promised $2 trillion in savings but now says it has saved the government just $160 billion but, in fact, the government has actually been spending more compared to this time last year as spending rose by $156 billion since The Felon took office.

Grifters, all of ‘em.

The Felon’s First 100 Days:

He promised to reduce the price of eggs and then egg prices reached record highs. He promised to bring everyday prices down but everyday prices have risen. He promised a booming economy but tanked the stock market. He promised to create jobs and then fired 100s of 1000s of government workers.

And then there was SignalGate, trade wars, Social Security benefits at risk, deported citizens, declassified the JFK files—but not the Epstein files, ended federal support for paper straws, ended production of the penny.

But the rich got their tax breaks so …

An F/-18E Super Hornet assigned to the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman was lost at sea during a towing incident in the hangar bay on Monday.

The plane cost $66 million.

What is it with this regime and airplanes?

In addition to El Salvador, The Felon’s regime is seeking other countries willing to accept illegally deported people from America and Marco Rubio, whose family escaped the fascist Castro regime in Cuba only to see their son join a fascist regime, says:

“We want to send you some of the most despicable human beings to your countries … the further away the better.”

He wants these Latino immigrants sent to Libya and Rwanda.

His family must be so proud.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul is open to renaming New York’s Penn Station after The Felon after his regime announced that the federal government would take over its redevelopment.

Stepping with the fascists, Kathy? Because you’ll re=name it after him and then he’ll pull funding.

That’s what grifters do.

House Republican leaders are moving to thwart Democratic efforts to probe DUI hired Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s controversial use of Signal, using their power to stop the minority party from forcing a vote that could embarrass The Felon.

Anything goes in the Party Over Country group as long as their gelatinous tub of lard doesn’t look bad.

As leaders in the House and Senate are set to reintroduce the Equality Act—historic federal legislation that would ensure comprehensive nondiscrimination protections for LGBTQ+ people everywhere—a coalition of civil rights organizations urgently calls for the legislation’s swift passage.

The bill’s reintroduction comes amidst a dangerous rise in anti-LGBTQ+ legislative and executive actions, including the erosion of nondiscrimination protections and weaponization of federal authorities against marginalized communities.

The nonpartisan Public Religion Research Institute found that national support for the Equality Act topped 75 %, including a majority of Republicans and Independents.

But fascists in power … the march goes on.

A federal judge dealt a blow to The Felon’s regime and ordered the release  of Columbia University student Mohsen Mahdawi, who was arrested at his U.S. citizenship appointment.

Now do Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

One thing to remember during The Felon’s first 100 days that he helped Mark Carney win the Canadian election.

I mean, he did that one thing right, eh?

A majority of Americans say The Felon is a “dangerous dictator” who poses a threat to democracy and believe he’s overstepped his authority by actions such as the mass firing of federal employees and the illegal deportations without due process.

Forty percent of Americans expressed favorable views.

Fifty-two percent expressed unfavorable views.

Forty percent still seems high.

Great Britain and the European Union are set to sign a formal declaration committing to “free and open trade” in defiance of The Felon’s tariff agenda.

A leaked draft seen by POLITICO promises a “new strategic partnership” between London and Brussels based on “maintaining global economic stability and our mutual commitment to free and open trade.”

The rest of the world will turn away from us thanks to the Bankruptcy King.

This week Democrat Congressman from Michigan, Shri Thanedar, introduced articles of impeachment against The Felon citing a sweeping abuse of power, flagrant violations of the Constitution, and acts of tyranny that undermine American democracy and threaten the rule of law.

Doubtful much will come of this right now, but the Cultists and Fox news are already playing the race card and wondering how someone named Shri Thanedar was elected to political office.

This Bitch: James Comer

House Oversight Committee Chairman, and Republican, because, of course, James Comer, is in discussions with at least one publisher about a book deal at the same time that he is leading the Biden impeachment probe.

And while Comer’s impeachment investigation of Biden is looking like a dud, and while Republicans insist they plan to keep pressuring the Biden over family money ties into 2025, a book would be a high-profile way to do that.

The project came to light when a source pointed Axios to a page on the HarperCollins website that shows placeholder cover for a book by Comer with a provocative title, “All the President’s Money,” and a supposed publication date of September 10.

But no book is imminent and there’s no book deal, Comer’s staff says and ye t the guy leading the investigation that is going nowhere, and has offered zero proof, has a book deal?

Yeah, nothing shady there.

PS Since this seems so perfectly above board, I suggest Joe Biden write his own book about this sham of an investigation and he can call it: This Bitch: James Comer.
