Ain't That America XVIII

Oh yes, another week of fascism and racism and criminal activity, but with bright spots of judges stepping up and FBI employees standing down, with a little rant from The Dumb One, Eric … Let’s dish …

That’s Lindsey Halligan, Cankles’ handpicked attorney, whom he met on a golf course, going after James Comey.

Her resume is unique … she’s a beauty contest winner and an insurance attorney who has never prosecuted a single case.

No skills, other than the ability to kiss orange ass.

Koncentration Kamp Kristi DogKilling Cosplaying Noem has said the ICEstapo will be “all over that place. We are going to enforce the law. You shouldn’t be coming to the Super Bowl unless you are a law-abiding American citizen.”

That means Cankles cannot attend.

In 2019 Cankles pledged to boost HIV spending, with the goal of ending the epidemic before 2030, and last year this federal initiative, Ending the HIV Epidemic, demonstrated progress.

Now the GOP wants deep cuts to HIV prevention and treatment funding, with Cankles’ proposed 2026 budget eliminating the CDC’s HIV-prevention division and seeking nearly $2 billion in HIV-related cuts in their federal health spending bill that would increase the total number of new HIV cases by more than 213,300 and the number of HIV-related deaths by over 10,600.

As they said back in the 80s, at least it’s killing all the right people.

KaroLying Leavitt trying to spin the Mormon shooter as a faith hating liberal, and making no mention that the shooter once wore a “Make Liberals Cry Again” Trump 2020 campaign shirt, that he had a Trump/Pence campaign sign on his fence, or that he and his family attended pro-Trump and QAnon/anti-vax demonstrations.

When her lips are moving, she’s either on her needs as Cankles’ Beck-and-Call-Girl or she’s lying.

Speaker Little Mike Johnson is not inclined to bring the House back into session until the Senate passes the House’s continuing resolution and so he has canceled the House session for next week:

“The House will come back into session and do its work as soon as Chuck Schumer allows us to reopen the government.”

Congress is in the hands of the GOP; the Senate is in the hands of the GOP; the White House is in the hands of the GOP; SCOTUS is in the hands of the GOP. And Little Mike Johnson wants you to believe the shutdown is the Democrats fault.

White House Press Secretary KaroLying Leavitt said Cankles is exploring plans to cut federal funding to “war torn” Portland due to what she said was a rise in “Antifa” related incidents. KaroLying is so stupid she doesn’t realize Antifa is not a group, but rather a political philosophy or movement; an anti-fascist movement.

Also she seems unaware that Portland is also home to a great many Republican voters who wonder why they’re being attacked by a bloated gasbag.

The Cankles Regime is preparing a plan that will make it harder for older Americans to qualify for Social Security disability payments, part of an overhaul of the federal safety net for poor, older and disabled people that could result in hundreds of thousands of people losing benefits.

But hey, as long as the rich get richer and we win the wars in Portland and Chicago; priorities.

On Saturday Judge Karin Immergut of the U.S. District Court in Oregon blocked Cankles from using Oregon National Guard soldiers in response to nightly protests at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in Portland and issued a temporary restraining order blocking the mobilization.

Immergut wrote that she expected a trial court to agree with the state’s contention that the president exceeded his constitutional authority in mobilizing federal troops for local work and likely violated the 10th Amendment.

Cankles restored $187 million of law enforcement funding to New York state last week, reversing a massive cut to the state’s historical budget levels. The cuts eliminated a staggering 86% of New York’s homeland security funding and were opposed by both Republican lawmakers and the state’s Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul who claimed they were “politically-motivated.”

It’s almost as if he doesn’t know what he’s doing; make the cuts, end the cuts.

This week Koncentration Kamp Kristi Noem was not allowed inside the Village of Broadview Municipal Building in Illinois to use the bathroom. And she whined:

“This is a public building. The Village of Broadview receives at least $1 million in federal funding every year. This is how JB Pritzker and his cronies treat our law enforcement. Absolutely shameful. This is what we have to put up with every single day. All we’re doing is getting criminals and terrorists and heroin and gang members off the streets to make families safer.”

Like the heroin dealers that were sleeping in their homes the other night when ICEstapo raided and threw mothers and children into the streets?

Fuck off, Fraulein.

Once again Cankles’ effort to curtail birthright citizenship was declared unconstitutional when a three-judge panel of the 1st US Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston upheld an injunction won by Democratic-led states and immigrant rights advocates that stopped Cankles’ executive order from taking effect.

In  July the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco upheld a nationwide injunction blocking Cankles’ order from taking effect on the grounds that it violated the citizenship clause of the Constitution’s 14th Amendment.

Cankles’ now wants the appeal heard by SCOTUS.

An FBI agent was relieved of duty for declining to arrange a “perp walk” of the bureau’s former director, James Comey, in front of news media cameras after Comey was federally charged last month.

Comey was charged on September 25 with making false statements and obstructing a congressional investigation as part of Cankles’ Butt-Hurt Retribution Tour.

This is the Resistance at work; stand your ground.

A Chicago delivery guy has gone viral for yelling “F*ck Trump! I am not a citizen!” at ICE Agents, then narrowly escaping as about a dozen officers gave chase in full tactical gear. The agents are heard yelling, “Get him!” as they start running after the man who escaped on his bicycle.

US District Judge Royce Lamberth has ruled that the U.S. Agency for Global Media [AGM] cannot implement a reduction in force eliminating 532 jobs for full-time government employees.

Kari “Loser” Lake, the agency’s acting CEO, announced in late August that the job cuts would take effect Tuesday but the judge’s ruling preserves the status quo at the agency until he rules on a plaintiffs’ underlying motion to block the reduction in force.

Judge David Campbell of the Federal District Court in Arizona, who was temporarily assigned to handle the case in Nevada, has disqualified Sigal Chattah, that state’s top federal prosecutor from handling cases, a rebuke to Cankles’ attempts to circumvent federal appointment procedures put in place by Congress.

Campbell said that Chattah was “not validly serving as acting U.S. attorney” and that her involvement in cases “would be unlawful.”

Chattah is a Republican activist and a Cankles supporter who was previously a lawyer for the state Republican Party. She was also the party’s unsuccessful candidate for attorney general in 2022.

The Supreme Court has ruled that Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook can remain in her post pending oral arguments in January on whether Cankles has legal cause to fire her.

The court’s move is a blow to Cankles, who has repeatedly and unsuccessfully asked federal courts to allow him to terminate Cook from the Fed’s Board of Governors without delay.

Cankles has cited claims that Cook committed mortgage fraud—the same mortgage fraud committed by three members of his Junk Drawer who are still employed—as his reason for firing her.m

A pornographic blog linked to Virginia Lieutenant Governor candidate John Reid shared content from accounts that fetishized Nazism and sexual violence. Reid has denied ownership of the blog even though it was hosted on Tumblr under the name JRDeux, the same handle he uses on Instagram and TikTok.

Oh, and JRDeux deleted his blog right after the report came out.

Huh.

Vice President JD CouchF*cker Vance dismissed criticism of AI-generated videos that Cankles posted to social media of Representative Hakeem Jeffries in a mustache and sombrero that have characterized as racist.

Vance said Cankles was “joking” and “having a good time” because racism is fun.

Cankles is once again saying the Associated Press lost the case on the renaming of The Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America—it’s the Gulf of Mexico, by the way, and has been for almost 500 years.

Fact: No judge in the ongoing lawsuit said what Cankles claimed they did. First, a Cankles-appointed district court judge sided with the AP and issued a preliminary injunction against Cankles’ restrictions, calling them a violation of the First Amendment. Then, on appeal, two judges on a three-judge panel of the District of Columbia Circuit Court sided with Cankles and ended most of the injunction but these two judges, both Cankles-appointed conservatives, never declared that “the name is Gulf of America” nor that the AP’s decision to use “Gulf of Mexico” was “not appropriate.”

The full DC Circuit court subsequently declined to overrule the panel but also did not make any statements about the AP’s language decisions. And the lawsuit is not over; the appeals court has not yet heard oral arguments on the merits of the case.

PS It’s The Gulf of Mexico.

There’s a reason they call Eric ‘The Dumb One’ and here’s why:

“They came after me like I was a dog. They tried to impeach my father two times. You know, they went after him for a Russia hoax that did not exist, that was paid for by Hillary Clinton. The FBI and the DOJ spied on my father’s campaign. They de-platformed him. They weaponized every attorney general and every district attorney around the country. They indicted him 91 times, 34 times in a bogus trial in New York City. They posted his mugshot. He’s the most recognizable person in the world. They posted his mugshot even though they didn’t need to. It totally backfired on him. They gagged him over and over and over! They raided his home! They raided Mar-a-Lago! They tried to get him divorced! They tried to separate our family! They tried to go after our employees! They attacked us. They tried to bankrupt our company. They de-platformed us! They stripped every bank account away from me and the [Cankles] Organization that you can imagine.”

Someone is desperately trying to stay in the will.

Two insiders in the Department of Defense, one who works directly with Pete ‘DUI Hire’ Hegseth’s  office and the other indirectly, say that in the last few weeks Pull-Up Pete has been erupting in tirades, raging at staffers and obsessing about matters related to his security:

“There’s a manic quality about him. Or let me rephrase, an even more manic quality, which is really saying something.”

Hegseth insisted on pushing through the name change to the Department of War months earlier than his staff was ready, berating those who tried to delay the announcement. They also say he has had tirades in response to legal advisors’ and congressional members’ suggestions that the military’s recent killings of alleged Venezuelan narcotraffickers on boats in the Caribbean broke international law.

He’s just the guy you want overseeing the nation’s nuclear arsenal, right?

DOGE poster boy Edward “Big Balls” Coristine shared details of the carjacking that made headlines but one key detail differs from police reports. Coristine recalled being attacked at around 3AM:

“I was walking one of my friends back to her car and as we were walking to the car, there’s a group of 10 guys right across the street. And as we get to the car and she begins to fumble for the keys, they start shouting at us and really quickly I knew something was really off about the situation.”

And yet in a statement released on two days after the incident, authorities announced the arrests of two 15-year-olds, one male and one female, both from Hyattsville, Maryland who were charged with carjacking. Big Balls is more like No Balls.

But we have balls and we have voices and votes and the ability to use them …

Ain't That America XV

Another week in America with The Felon sending troops to our cities to fight crime by picking up garbage and spreading mulch ... to a man who lived by hate, dying by hate ... watching the Right scramble to cover their asses when the shooter was revealed to be one of them ... it was just another week of incompetence and protests, bad news and good news, so let's dive in ...

I have no comment on the shooting last week except to say that The Little Johnson wants more security for politicians and racist pundits but not one iota of protection for school children.

Yes, I will start off with a giant FUCK YOU to The Little Johnson.

South Carolina’s own bigot, transphobe, homophobe and liar Nancy Mace—who is running for governor—proves herself to be the most disgusting member of Congress when, after word spread that Charlie Kirk’s shooter was transgender, Tweeted this:

And when it was revealed that the shooter was a MAGAt through and through, she changed her mind to this:

Nancy Mace is the problem.

Just in case you’re keeping track:

South Korea is pulling BILLIONS in investments after the ICEstapo raid on their Georgia Hyundai plant.

Qatar is pulling a $1.5 TRILLION investment in the US after The Felon collaborated with Israel to bomb Palestinian negotiations in Qatar.

Denmark reject US Patriot missiles in favor of French-Italian made Samp-T weapons system, costing the US $9.1 BILLION

China has purchased $0 of US soybeans this year putting farmers across America on the brink of bankruptcy. Last year, China purchased $13.2 BILLION of US soybeans, 54% of ALL soybean exports

The Felon’s 25% tariffs on auto parts and 50% tariffs on steel & aluminum cost Ford $800 MILLION in the second quarter, wiping out all of their profits

The Felon was right about one thing; he is responsible for the greatest economic turnaround in American history only he took us in the wrong direction.

GOP Congressmen Michael Cloud of Texas and Glenn  Thompson of Pennsylvania introduced a joint resolution to designate September 12th as the National Day of the Bible.

Freedom of Religion … when is the National Day of the Quran … the National Day of the Talmud  … the National Day of the Vedas, the Upanishads, and the Bhagavad Gita … the National Day of the Tripitaka … the National Day of the Guru Granth Sahib … the National Day of the Kitáb-i-Aqdas … the National Day of the Agamas … the National Day of the Analects, the Great Learning, the Doctrine of the Mean, and Mencius … the National Day of the Tao Te Ching … the National Day of the Kojiki … the National Day of the Avesta.

Freedom of and from Religion

Hundreds of thousands of a poor Americans are poised to get their disability benefits cut as The Fascist Regime moves to reverse a Biden-era change to Supplemental Security Income [SSI], a federal program that provides monthly payments to impoverished Americans who are unable to work—typically because they’re disabled.

Often they’re older Americans who haven’t earned enough during their lifetime to qualify for any meaningful Social Security benefits, but hey, tax breaks for billionaires!

President Cankles has pledged to remove the makeshift blue tent that has sat directly across from the White House since 1981 and is the nation’s longest continuous peace vigil:

“Take it down. Take it down today, right now.”

A peace vigil … the man who is foaming at the mouth for a Nobel Peace prize wants a peace vigil removed.

It would likely cost billions of dollars to change the names of hundreds of Pentagon agencies, their stationery, emblems, plaques and other signage at the Defense Department, along with bases around the world to the Department of War.

Well, he’s cutting SSI—see above—so maybe he can afford it. People will starve but he gets to be the War President.

Delta Air Lines revised its manuals to use “Gulf of America” for the body of water spanning Florida to Mexico in line with his executive order renaming the marginal sea.

Delta said it was simply complying with Federal Aviation Administration requirements when in fact they are bending to the whims of Cankles.

Georgia GOP Governor Brian Kemp will send members of his state’s National Guard to Washington DC to join thousands of other National Guard members deployed under The Fascist Regime’s plan to reduce crime in the nation’s capital. 

They will join thousands of other members of the National Guard from other states to pick up garbage, spread mulch in flower beds and ticker people for not wearing seatbelts.

Crime is rampant.

Prominent MAGAts expressed fury at the Secret Service for a major security failure after protesters heckled President Cankles his face on a visit to an upscale seafood restaurant near the White House. The Felon, along with Couchfucker, DUI Hire Hegseth and Foam Party Boy Marco Rubio, were screamed at by protesters shouting:

“Free D.C! Free Palestine! [Cankles] is the Hitler of our time!”

Resistance.

U.S. District Court Judge Jia Cobb blocked President Cankles from firing Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook as a lawsuit challenging her removal continues, writing:

“The public interest in Federal Reserve independence weighs in favor of Cook’s reinstatement. Cook has made a strong showing that her purported removal was done in violation of the Federal Reserve Act’s ‘for cause’ provision.”

Resistance.

Senator Ruben Gallego, Democrat of Arizona, will seek to block the Pentagon from offering full military funeral honors to insurrectionist criminal Ashli Babbitt. Gallego has criticized the Pentagon for agreeing recently to provide Babbitt with an honorary military funeral and will attempt to pass legislation this week to prevent the honor from being conferred.

It will likely not pass but this is The Resistance at work.

The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan refused to throw out an $83.3 million jury verdict against President Cankles for damaging the reputation of the writer E. Jean Carroll in 2019 when he denied her rape claim.

Sell some more Gold Bibles, asshat.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries chose California Representative Eric Swalwell to lead Democrats on a newly formed subcommittee to reinvestigate … I guess once wasn’t enough … the events surrounding the January 6 Insurrection.

Jeffries also picked Representatives Jasmine Crockett and Jared Moskowitz to sit on the panel, which was initiated by the House GOP as part of a broad effort by Republicans to rewrite the history of the Capitol attack.

It was just tourists, y’all.

Texas Democratic state Representative James Talarico—one of many Texas Democrats who left the state to hold up a Cankles-led plan aimed at netting more GOP-leaning seats—announced his Senate bid last week, a smart move by the rising political star.

If embattled state Attorney General Ken Paxton wins the GOP primary in March, the state could be a ripe target for Democrats next November. Current polls show incumbent Senator John Cornyn trailing Paxton, and Republicans have said that Paxton would be a weak general election candidate.

Sidenote: a favorite quote of mine from Talarico:

“Ken Paxton, like all of us Christians, should spend more time praying than forcing others to pray.”

Snap. Talarico is possibly the most popular state rep on TikTok, where his denouncements of Christian nationalism and anti-LGBTQ activism often get millions of views.

Good. Vote Blue Texas!

The Kennedy Center has been practically empty  since Cankles took over. The Stuttgart Ballet performed in the opera house was roughly 19% occupied and subscription revenues are down 50%.

Everything he touches gets ruined,

And y’all know what to do, take a stand, raise a voice, cast a vote, and march …

The Resistance is gearing up for what may be its biggest mass-demonstration yet against the increasingly militaristic Fascist Regime—which has sent armed troops to occupy the nation’s capital and is threatening to do the same in large cities from Chicago to New Orleans.

After a series of smaller summer protests, the movement will be back in the streets on October 18 for “No Kings 2”—a sequel organizers are expecting to outshine the original, amid revulsion to the mass deportation led by the ICEstapo.

Head over to No Kings for more information and get out there and Resist!
