Ain't That America XXIII

Here we are again, still reveling a bit in the wins by Democrats in the elections and the recent Supreme decision and the swearing-in of Adalita Grijalva who became the vote to release the Epstein files which caused a ketchup explosion at the White House by the man who says he is not in the files but doesn’t want you to read them, so let’s dish ….

On the downside, several Democrats voted with Republicans on ending the shutdown even though they got nothing for their vote and one such vote, John Fetterman, is the text book example of that brand of fuckery. See, Fetterman had a heart episode and fell at his Pennsylvania home and was rushed to the hospital where all his bills were taken care of by his Congressional medical insurance even after he voted along with Republicans to end healthcare for some Americans or see the costs of healthcare double and sometimes triple is costs.

Ain’t that a traitorous Democrat? He got his but screw you …

This week Cankles pardoned Dan Wilson—that’s him up there with the gas mask, proud to let everyone know he’s a traitor to America—a militia member who joined the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, for the second time, this time after Wilson was convicted of illegally possessing firearms in his Kentucky home.

Cankles had already erased Wilson’s felony conviction for his role in the insurrection and now he has given Wilson a “full and unconditional” pardon, explicitly references Wilson’s firearms case.

This is the US president pardoning criminals again and again.

I loathe Megyn Kelly and now I loathe her even more in light of her recent statements about Jeffrey Epstein on her little podcast-y thing:

“[Epstein] was into the barely legal types. Like, he liked 15-yerar-old girls. He wasn’t into like 8-year-olds. But he liked the very young teen types that could pass for even younger than they were but would look legal to a passerby. We have yet to see anybody come forward and say I was under 10. I was under 14 when I first came into his purview. I think there’s a difference. There’s a difference between a 15-year-old and a 5-year-old you know?”

Um, Megyn, you blithering moron, a 15-year-old girl is legally a child and cannot consent to sex and the idea that you want to normalize Epstein, and Cankles, having sex with underage girls is sickening. You have a daughter, would you think nothing of Jeffrey Epstein having sex with your child at age 15?

It’s a crime and you’re a vile rightwing MAGAt pig.

White House Press Secretary KKKarolying Leavitt said the October jobs report and inflation data will likely not be released even after the government reopens because the numbers are so bad that they will make Cankles look even more like an unqualified demined buffoon than he already is.

That’s all.

Legislation moving through Congress after reopening the government would allow eight GOP senators to seek up to $500,000 in damages for alleged privacy violations stemming from the Biden administration’s investigation into January 6.

The legislation retroactively makes it illegal in most cases to obtain a senator’s phone data without disclosure and allows those whose records were obtained to sue the DOJ for $500,000 per violation, along with attorneys’ fees and costs.

Grifters and con artists from the top down.

PS The first GOPer said to want his free cash is former Miss South Carolina Lindsey Graham.

Cankles has a new friend in Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa whom he called "strong" and "tough," and excused his "rough past."
His past included killing US soldiers, civilians, women, and children when he was a member of Al-Qaeda.

We put a $10M bounty on his head and Cankles admires him.

Cankles’ efforts to force mid-decade redistricting suffered a major setback after Indiana’s GOP state Senate leader declared the chamber will not convene in December to redraw maps.

It’s a massive blow to Cankles’ efforts to steal another election and remain in power and out of jail.

The Supreme Court turned down a request that it consider overturning its landmark decision—Obergefell v Hodges—to legalize same-sex marriage a decade ago. The court, without comment, declined the petition filed by Kentucky Kounty Klerk Kim Davis.

Now go on home Kim, before someone drops a house on you.

Jack Schlossberg, the grandson of former President John F. Kennedy, is running for Congress in 2026 in New York state. He says he's running in response to Cankles so-called “Big Beautiful Bill,” which has led to a “cost of living crisis” with historic “cuts to social programs working families rely on. Health care, education, childcare”:

“We deserve better, and we can do better, and it starts with the Democratic Party winning back control of the House of Representatives.”

Let’s do this.

In last week’s  Seattle mayoral race Katie Wilson, a 43-year-old transportation advocate, first-time candidate and self-proclaimed socialist unseated incumbent Democrat Bruce Harrell with 50.2% of the vote compared to Harrell’s 49.5%.

Like Zohran Mamdani in New York, Wilson ran on a platform of affordability, with a particular focus on housing, food access and cost-of-living issues.

The march goes on …

A four-year-old social media post by Vice President JD CouchF*cker Vance has resurfaced after that bombshell email drop revealed that Cankles once spent “hours” with a Jeffrey Epstein victim at the notorious sex trafficker’s home, reads:

“Remember when we learned that our wealthiest and most powerful people were connected to a guy who ran a literal child sex trafficking ring? And then that guy died mysteriously in a jail? And now we just don’t talk about it.”

Huh, it looks like JD flip-flopped again just to advance his own political career. Now he turns a blind eye to child sexual predators.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and her lover Corey Lewandowski ordered 10 Spirit Airlines jets before realizing the planes … wait for it, it’s epic, and so indicative of this corrupt unqualified regime … had no engines. Officials warned the lovers that buying the jets—which they said would be used to increase deportations and for their own travel—was impractical, and simply hiring additional flight contractors would be far less costly,.

But Noem and Lewandowski went ahead and blew through the funds allocated by Congress until officials looked deeper into the adulterer’s spending spree and realized that Spirit—which has filed for bankruptcy twice—didn’t own the planes and that the engines would have to be purchased separately.

Noem and her shopping partner then purchased two Gulfstream jets for $200 million.

Adulterers, criminals, thieves, grifters and dog killers.

In light of his illegals tariffs, Cankles wants to provide $2,000 tariff rebate checks to most Americans,. But the Wall Street Journal editorial board says Cankles is trying to dull the public’s tariff pain with direct payments that he can take credit for but it’s a superficial fix at best and just an attempt to shore up his approval ratings and … what else?

Oh, change the topic from the Epstein Scandal!

Cankles criticized the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program [SNAP] in an interview with Fox News’ Eva Brain, er, Laura Ingraham  saying:

“People keep talking about SNAP, but SNAP is supposed to be if you are down and out. That’s what the purpose of it [is]. People are getting it, they walk in and they get it automatically now. So the number is many times what it should be, it’s disgraceful. Snap has gone from like 7 billion to many times 7 billion.”

Facts—which are hard for Cankles to comprehend—prove that there are fairly strict requirements to get food benefits; SNAP is for people with very low incomes—at or below 30% of the poverty line [about $34,000 a year] —and almost no financial assets.

Again, an unqualified criminal buffoon.

In another display of his batshittery, Cankles wants to send the National Guard to Chicago’s Miracle Mile Shopping Center because, though it was “once considered our Nation’s BEST, now has a more than 28% vacancy factor, and is ready to call it quits unless something is done about the murder and crime, which is prevalent throughout the City. CALL IN THE TROOPS, FAST, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE! ‘Just the News'”

Let people shop!!! Send the Guard to the mall!!!!

Cankles, sharing his illiteracy on Fox News:

“President Xi was willing to do the railroad things—that’s magnets. Now, nobody knows what a magnet is. If you don’t have a magnet, you don’t have a car. You don’t make a computer, you don’t make, er, televisions and radios and all the other things—you don’t make anything. It’s a 30-year effort to monopolize a very important thing. Now, in two years, we’ll have magnets, all the magnets we want. Because of tariffs, listen I called, I said you’re going to play the magnet, we’re going to play the tariff on you.”

Lordy, is Sarah Palin, the Queen of the Word Salad, writing for him now?

In another attempt to deflect people from the thousands of times his name has appeared in the recently released Epstein emails, Cankles has ordered Pammy Jo Bondi to investigate Bill Clinton for his connection with Epstein because … Cankles is a predatory child rapist and wants us all to “look over there”:

“Now that the Democrats are using the Epstein Hoax, involving Democrats, not Republicans, to try and deflect from their disastrous SHUTDOWN, and all of their other failures, I will be asking A.G. Pam Bondi, and the Department of Justice, together with our great patriots at the FBI, to investigate Jeffrey Epstein’s involvement and relationship with Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, Reid Hoffman, J.P. Morgan, Chase, and many other people and institutions, to determine what was going on with them, and him. This is another Russia, Russia, Russia Scam, with all arrows pointing to the Democrats. Records show that these men, and many others, spent large portions of their life with Epstein, and on his ‘Island.’ Stay tuned!!!”

Every Cankles accusation is an admission.

GodBlessTheUSABible.com, a website that pays licensing fees to Cankles selling merchandise bearing the official presidential seal—including a $150 record player and $20 beer pong set with “Presidential themed balls”—that could violate federal law restricting commercial use of the seal.

Federal law prohibits anyone—unless authorized under regulations prescribed by the president and published in the Federal Register—from manufacturing or selling likenesses of the presidential seal or “any substantial part thereof” in a way that could suggest a sponsorship, with violations punishable by fines and up to six months in prison.

Plus, “Presidential themed balls” from the president who has no balls?

But you know who does have balls? We The People because we proved that last week and we ill prove it again in 2026 …

Bobservations

The kitchen remodel is coming along, though we’ve had a couple of glitches. Nothing serious, but things just slowed down progress. The countertops are in and I am in love with them … The light for above the sink is ordered, as is the hood for the stove, and the knobs and handles for drawers and door. I am now looking into tile because I have this idea … more on that later.

We have been using the laundry room as our makeshift kitchen, with an espresso machine, a coffee maker, microwave and crockpot moved into it. Carlos has dubbed it the “laundritchen” and the dining room is the “pantrining room.”

And Carlos is loving the chaos … I kid.

This Tuxedo Says is from June 2021:

I would never suggest Tuxedo buys into conspiracy theories but every so often he comes up with a thought that makes you wonder …

He just had questions, you know.

I have been looking for something to do when I retire and then I saw this and thought, Yeah, I could do that.

My wife and I went into town and visited a shop. When we came out, there was a police officer writing out a parking ticket. We went up to him and I said:

“Come on man, how about giving a couple of senior citizens a break?”

He ignored us and continued writing the ticket until I called him an “asshole.” He stared at me and then started writing a second ticket for having worn-out tires so my wife called him a “shithead.” He put that ticket on the windshield and then started writing more and more tickets; this went on for about twenty minutes. The more we abused him, the more tickets he wrote. He finally finished, sneered at us, and walked away.

Lucky for us, because just then our bus arrived and we got on it and went home. We always look for cars with those red Make America Great Again bumper stickers on them because we like to have a little fun now that we’re retired.

I realized that, living in South Carolina, this could keep me busy all day long.

Out there in Utah, of all places, a judge just terminated the  Republicans’ gerrymandering attempt and ordered a new map that includes a new Blue seat.

In Utah, the Resistance is at work.

In good news, 93-year-old Ruth Gottesman donated $1 billion to the Albert Einstein College of Medicine to make tuition free for all students permanently. The donation, which is the largest ever to a U.S. medical school, comes from the fortune left to her by her late husband, David “Sandy” Gottesman. 

Ruth Gottesman, a former professor and current board chair at the school, specified that her only requirement is that the institution not be renamed in her honor. 

Again, in a world of Bezos and Musk, be a Gottesman.

And also be a Barack Obama …

This week the former President recently surprised a plane of veterans arriving in Washington, D.C., ahead of Veterans Day; the vets were traveling with an Honor Flight from Madison, Wisconsin, when Obama boarded the plane to greet the veterans, many of whom were from the Korean and Vietnam wars.

After his brief remarks, Obama stood on the jetway and personally shook the hand of each veteran as they deplaned and presented each veteran with a Presidential Challenge Coin. 

That’s my President.

Last weekend, Cyndi Lauper was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and sang her song “True Colors.”  When she got to the line, “Don’t be afraid …” she stopped singing and raised her fist.

Don’t be afraid.

Two days later the Supreme Court ruled to maintain marriage equality for same-sex couples.

Don’t be afraid.

As with Cankles, I also try not to use her name, and simply call her That Woman.

She turned seventy this week and threw herself a birthday party/thirst trap and I saw one website that mentioned how great she looks and that she appears to be aging backwards. But, um, she has clearly invested thousands and thousands of dollars into plastic surgery and Botox and injections and peels and deals with the Devil. She is far from the natural beauty some seem to suggest.

PS One of the guests of honor at her party was … wait for it … her plastic surgeon. That's him down there with her newest face.

Go figure.

Kirill Kabachenko is a Ukraine-American real estate agent in New York City and a working model. I wonder is he shows houses dressed in just his briefs and I also wonder … Would You Hit It?
