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!

I Didn't Say It ...

Will Ganss, out ABC producer and Good Morning America correspondent, condemning his hometown in Texas for considering revoking anti-discrimination protections for LGBTQ+ people:

"What I know to be true because I grew up in Arlington, Texas, is that every person deserves to feel safe, no matter who they love or what their preferences might be. In fourth grade, I got my ass absolutely kicked during a game of football at recess, and I ran immediately to my elementary school library because my librarian made sure that I knew that there was a safe space for me there. I'm still in touch with my elementary school music teacher because she cares about my success and safety and happiness as a human being. These are Arlington, Texas values. Arlington is a community that is filled with faith and filled with compassion and, yes, filled with queer people. I know because I am a person who is faith-filled and compassionate and queer, so before the vote on November 18, I would encourage you to reach out to your city council members, to your mayor and let them know how you feel about this. Y'all know I don't post a lot of stuff like this, but the younger version of me needs this version of me to say something."

Spot on. Good on Ganss for speaking up and out.

The Arlington City Council will vote on a revised ordinance November 18, which would remove “gender identity and expression” and “sexual orientation” as protected characteristics. The vote comes after the council temporarily suspended the clause in September due to threats from Cankles’ Regime.

Mark Pocan, out Democrat Representative from Wisconsin, blasts Cankles’ trade war and his misguided priorities:

“Of course it’s going to hurt us. You can’t throw tariffs around indiscriminately and then not negotiate because you’re mad about a pushback from one of the countries that you’re having a trade war with. People are paying too much for groceries, for durable goods; inflation is up from September, all because of Trump’s tariff taxes on all of us. It does have a negative effect on Americans, and it has a negative effect on Canadians. The president needs to be more mature and go back to negotiations. He’d be better off if he just took away this irresponsible use of tariffs since Congress is supposed to have that responsibility. And let’s get back to helping lower the cost for Americans.”

Get back to helping ALL Americans, not just the grifters and con artists and dog killers and rapists and heroin addicts.

All those elected people work for We The People and we need to remember that we have the power to change this but we have to get up, stand up, speak up and VOTE!

Charlie Angus, former Member of Canda’s House Oof Commons, on Cankles AI sh*t-show:

“This is a guy who showed an AI video of himself dumping diarrheas on his own citizens. So the fact that he’s freaking out because we showed a video that just had Ronald Reagan speaking shows  he’s not trustworthy.”

He’s a narcissistic child; a clueless moron.

Not trustworthy? He’s a criminal, a rapist, a racist and ….

Letitia James, New York’s indicted attorney general, spoke at a campaign rally for mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani, and did not mention the name of the President but took him on nonetheless:

“I will not bow, I will not break, I will not bend, I will not capitulate. I will not give in. I will not give up. You come for me, you gotta come through all of us. I won’t give up and I won’t give in. So we have no time to linger and focus on pettiness and revenge. We’ve gotta press on, press forward, continue the journey, claim the victory … and so I fear no man.”

Of all the things Cankles most fears it a woman of color standing up to him, and James is doing all of that and I stand with her every step of the way.

Ariana Grande, actor and singer, speaking to The Cult:

“I want to check in with [his] voters. I have one very genuine question: it's been 250 days. Now that immigrants have been violently torn from their families and communities have been destroyed, now that trans people have been blamed for virtually everything and live in fear, now that free speech is on the brink of collapse for us all—has your life gotten better? Have your groceries gotten cheaper? Has your health insurance premium gone done? Has your work/life balance improved? Can you take a vacation yet? Are you happier? Has the widespread suffering of others paid off for you in the way he promised it would or are you still waiting?"

Good on Grande for speaking out; she has a sizable social media presence and her standing up and resisting could reach a whole new audience … younger people who are the future of America.

Erik Bottcher, out New York City Councilman, running for the seat of retiring Congressman Jerry Nadler, and raising nearly $700,000 in campaign funds in his first 24 hours:

“This congressional district has a proud tradition of representatives who’ve fought for LGBTQ+ rights, from Bella Abzug to Jerry Nadler, but we’ve never actually had one of our own at the table. And there’s an old saying, ‘If you’re not at the table, you’re on the menu.’ Our community is under attack in terrifying ways, and it’s time to take the gloves off. I love my country, and right now it’s being torn apart by [Cankles] and his neo-fascist forces. This is the moment for all Americans, especially those of us in public service, to stand up and fight back. I’m out in the community day and night, every day of the week. People want real representation. They want to know and feel connected to the people who speak for them. That’s been at the heart of my work in City Council District 3, and it’s exactly what I’d bring to the 12th District if I run. I’ve spent my life serving my community, and serving in Congress would be one of the highest honors imaginable.”

This historic, grassroots-driven achievement marks the biggest first-day total in New York State history and one of the biggest nationwide. Bottcher is one of the city’s most visible LGBTQ+ officials and a rising star in Democratic politics.
