Ain't That America XXXVII

A bit of good news this week as Cankles found himself smacked down by several courts, as Pammy Jo Bondi found herself smacked down from her boss, as Kristi Noem and her husband were smacked down by ginormous boobs, and the war that isn’t a war, that’s over but not over, that is killing more and more of our troops, raged on and will cost Americans childcare and healthcare among other things …

Due to his illegal war in Iran Cankles has decided the federal government can no longer take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare because, as he said:

“We have to take care of one thing: military protection.”

Cutting funds for Americans to continue to fight a war he says we already won?

 

Shortly after his rambling nonsensical speech the other night, telling us that Iran was basically obliterated, but then also saying the war goes on, the spot price for current physical cargoes of Brent crude oil soared to $141.36, the highest level since the 2008 financial crisis.

Making America Great Again.

 

Ten years ago last week, Cankles said he would pay off the national debt in the span of just eight years.

Didn’t happen because instead of paying it off he doubled it from $19 trillion to over $39 trillion and the bill will be due long after Cankles is gone.

 

ICEstapo agents will be stationed outside graduation events for the nation’s newest Marines to identify whether any of their family members are undocumented.

As the illegal war in Iran continues, the Marine Corps has begun requiring everyone to present REAL IDs, US passports or US birth certificates to access any sites.

Since undocumented immigrants are ineligible for federal REAL IDs and don’t have US passports or birth certificates they will be rounded up and detained just for visiting their families who are fighting wars for the criminal president.

 

Last week we learned that GOP Representative Elliott Engen was arrested on suspicion of driving while impaired. Now we also know that in his car was GOP Representative Walter Hudson, who was also impaired and in possession of a 9 mm Smith & Wesson handgun in his waistband.

Drunks and guns; what could go wrong?

 

In the first days after Pam Bondi was appointed attorney general last year, the Department of Justice began shutting down pending criminal cases at a record pace.

The cases included an investigation into a Virginia nursing home with a record of patient abuse; probes of fraud involving several New Jersey labor unions; an investigation into a cryptocurrency company suspected of cheating investors.

In total, the DOJ closed more than 23,000 criminal cases in the first six months of Cankles’ regime so they could open cases against his so-called enemies.

And since so many of those cases were dismissed, well, read on until the end ...

Cankles shared the first images of his planned presidential library in downtown Miami, posting a video that depicts a skyscraper that appears to be about 50 stories tall.

That tall and yet not one book? What the hell kinda library is that?

 

Lindsey Graham was ineffective talking his colleagues into keeping the government open, but he chatted up Mickey Mouse last week at Woke Disney World where he had breakfast at Chef Mickey’s while Disney characters go around to all the tables for a little chit chat.

Then when he slithered back to South Carolina, he went to a shooting range to prove his masculinity, perhaps with a Pink Barbie Rifle.

 

Republicans are considering reductions in federal health spending to help pay for a budget bill containing as much as $200 billion to fund the illegal Iran war and immigration enforcement.

Say goodbye to healthcare because the illegal war is more important than We The People and remember that on Election Day.

Spain has closed its airspace to US planes involved in attacks on Iran, ​a step beyond its previous denial of use ‌of jointly-operated military bases. The closure forces military planes to bypass NATO ​member Spain en route to their targets ⁠in the Middle East though it does not include ​emergency situations.

Oh, and then Italy also denied permission for US military aircraft to land ‌at the Sigonella air base in Sicily ‌before flying to the Middle East.

And then Poland humiliated Cankles by bluntly rejecting his desperate plea for them to send their Patriot air defense system to the Middle East to help with his illegal Iran War.

You started this mess for no reason other than Epstein, asshat, so see your own way out of it.

 

The Cankles’ Regime is extending family planning grants for Planned Parenthood after a protracted legal battle. White House spokesman Kush Desai said the regime could not fulfill its goal of withholding Title X family planning grants for the nation’s largest abortion provider due to “significant legal challenges.”

 

Pope Leo said last week that God rejects the ‌prayers of leaders who start wars and have “hands full of blood,” in unusually forceful remarks as the illegal Iran war.

Of course, Faux Christian KKKarolying Leavitt completely lied about the Pope’s remarks, suggesting he said he will not prayer for the soldiers.

He said God rejects the prayers of leaders who start wars, dear. God gave you two ears and one mouth for a reason.

 

In a fairly scathing ruling, Judge Richard Leon declared that “The President of the United States is the steward of the White House for future generations of First Families. He is not, however, the owner...no statute comes close to giving the President the authority he claims to have” and then shut down construction of the so-called ballroom Cankles wants;

“Unless and until Congress blesses this project through statutory authorization, construction has to stop!”

We need to oppose this ballroom at every turn. It’s the People’s House, not Demented Old Pedophile’s House, and he should not get to determine what is built on it.

 

U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss has ruled that Cankles’ executive order ending federal funding for National Public Radio and Public Broadcasting Service is unconstitutional as it violated the First Amendment of the Constitution by perpetrating “viewpoint discrimination and retaliation of this type.”

 

Cankles kicked Pam Bondi to the curb last week and replaced her, for now, with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche.

How embarrassing to be the Attorney General of the United States and be fired by a convicted felon.

Th upside is that Pammy Jo can still be called to testify about the Epstein Scandal and still see her ass in jail perhaps. But that shouldn’t stop America from …

Ain't That America X

Another week down and the Midterms cannot come quickly enough … Faux Christians watching porn at work … Nazi Mace … White House Press Liar doesn’t pay her bills … Epstein …  GOP boosts White Nationalist to power … Another Republican paying for his mistress’ abortion … Another Felon supporter arrested for child porn … but some good news … the courts are stepping up and stopping the regime … Leon Skum causes another explosion … MAGAts cannot spell the name of the state they want to represent … and President Cankles, the most bloated gasbag on the planet, wants to reinstate the president’s fitness test … seriously …

Ryan Walters, Oklahoma’s State Superintendent of Public Instruction, was accused of watching porn on his work TV and claims it was a lie and a setup:

“We have got a gross accusation that has already been proven, by OMES [Office of Management and Services] and the sheriff’s office, to be impossible to have happened. There’s no devices connected to that cable TV.”

BUT … an OMES report says Walters’ claim about the TV’s streaming capabilities was a lie. The TV had cable access and was connected to an empty DVD player and connected to the state’s open WiFi network. A one-time passcode was required to access screen casting to the TV, limiting the number of people with casting ability to the device.

Good Christian MAGAt Walter’s is lying.

South Carolina GOP Representative, transphobic fool, and all-around liar, Nancy Mace, teased a run for South Carolina governor because the state has “gone woke” and says one of her  “favorite things to watch on YouTube these days are the court hearings where illegals are in court and ICE shows up to drag them out of court and deport them.”

Let me give one example of how “woke South Carolina is; we have the death penalty here and the governor has paved the way for death by firing squad.

I think lynching may be next.

The Felon’s White House press secretary, KKKaroline Leavitt  has a money problem that won’t go away. It seems her 2022 congressional campaign committee failed to pay off a penny of the $326,370.50 it owes across more than 100 creditors.

Leavitt, as you may know, loves to rant about “deadbeats” over their student loan payments and poor people who “expect government handouts” such as Medicaid and food stamps.

Every GOP accusation is an admission.

The FCC’s approval of CBS owner Paramount’s $8 billion merger with Skydance came with a condition to install a “bias monitor” to make sure the news company’s reporting meets standards demanded by The Felon.

Bye CBS.

The Felon now says he ended his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein and threw the now-disgraced financier out of his private club in Florida after Epstein betrayed him more than once by hiring people who had worked for him.

Every day the story changes because … He’s on the list.

Marco Rubio on the idea that he may run for the White in 2028 … hold for laughter … though may change his mind if JD Vance … hold for laughter … wants the job.

I know of no two other Republicans more disliked by their own party except for maybe Ted Cruz.

Hell let ‘em all run.

Senate Republicans voted this week to confirm Joe Kent, who buddied up with white nationalist Nick Fuentes, gives interviews to Nazi sympathizers, downplayed the extremism of the neofascist Proud Boys, and grouped the Black Lives Matter movement with “child trafficking rings and cartels,” saying they should all face “federal terrorism charges,” was named to lead the National Counterterrorism Center; every Republican but one, Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina, voted for him.

That’s the GOP … add a racist, terrorist, and far-right wingnut to a Counterterrorism office.

Texas GOP Congressman Giovanni Capriglione who rammed through a six-week abortion ban in his state has been exposed as having a 17-year long affair and paid for several abortions for his mistress. He has also recently resigned from office though claims the whole story is a lie.

Remember, every GOP accusation is a confession.

Texas GOP Senator, Rafael Cruz, taking time from his Greek vacation while Texas flooded, has actually claimed lied that, after the shooting in New York City, the Democrats are coming for your guns.

Except what Democrats, and most Americans, wants, is stronger gun laws, assault weapons off the streets and background checks.

What Ted Cruz wants is to stoke fear amongst his gun-toting base to stay in office so he can take another holiday while Texas floods, or burns, or blows away, or loses power or another elementary school gets shot up by a lunatic with an assault weapon..

Scott Soucek of Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, a fervent Felon supporter who said he cast his 2024 vote to fight child trafficking, has been charged with 10 counts of possessing child pornography.

Soucek isn’t just a Felon supporter, he is also married to a leading GOP Party operative in the state.

Again, every GOP accusation is a confession and, once again, ever notice how all these pedophiles and child porn lovers are also Felon supporters?

Judge Jesse M. Furman of the Federal District Court for the Southern District of New York permanently barred The Felon’s administration from imposing penalties on two law professors over their involvement with the International Criminal Court, finding that the threat violated their First Amendment rights.

Smackdown.

It is being reported that Leon Skum’s America Party will likely never launch, but if it does, expect to explode in midair.

Along with France and Canada, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has said Great Britain will recognize the state of Palestine in September unless the Israeli government takes substantive steps to end the “appalling situation” in Gaza, reaches a ceasefire, makes clear there will be no annexation in the West Bank, and commits to a long-term peace process that delivers a Two State Solution.

Stand up!

Stephen Flynn, the Scottish National Party MP for Aberdeen South, refused to meet with The Felon because, he says, he was busy washing his hair and had his own toddlers to looks after.

Hey world? Be like Stephen.

U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani in Boston has ruled Planned Parenthood clinics nationwide must continue to be reimbursed for Medicaid funding as the nation’s largest abortion provider fights The Felon’s administration over efforts to defund the organization in his signature Tax Scam for Billionaires.

Resist!

U.S. Wisconsin GOP Representative Bryan Steil was met with consistent boos during a town hall over his support for The Felon’s fascist policies.

His in-person town hall was the first for a Wisconsin Republican since House GOP leadership advised members to avoid the in-person event to avoid public protests.

In other words, hide from your constituents.

MAGAt Representative Mike Collins of Georgia has his work cut out for him as he enters the 2026 Republican Senate primary field and not just because his GOP challengers will include another MAGAt candidate and former college football coach Derek Dooley, who reportedly has Governor Brian Kemp’s support.

Meanwhile, Democrat Jon Ossoff is building massive momentum to take on whichever MAGAt steps up,

But the funny is that Collins stumbled right out of the gate with an early campaign video that misspelled the name of the state he’s running in:

This is one time I can’t actually blame him … apparently The Felon appeared to doze off again in public this week when “Dr.” Mehmet Oz spoke of a new health-tracking system at the White House.

Perhaps DonOLD needs a new heath tracking system?

Make it make sense … President Cankles has signed an executive order reinstating the national fitness assessment implemented in public schools from 1956 until 2013. And the role of administering the test will fall to HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

So, the unhealthiest human on the planet wants a fitness test for public school students and wants the drug addict and brain worm infected moron who took a swim in sewage to administer it?

Keep calm and …

The first season of FX’s Feud: Bette & Joan hasn’t even started yet—it’s this Sunday, March 5, set your DVRs—but that hasn’t stopped FX from ordering a second season from creator Ryan Murphy.

And season two’s feud? Feud: Charles & Diana! No word on whether this will be the whole marriage, or just the final few years.

But still, since they can’t do Feud: Hillary & Donald, this is the next best thing.

San Francisco has never been a city to shy away from saying what it feels and, well, now this ...

Beginning on February 23rd, and continuing on, San Francisco City Hall will light up with the colors of the transgender flag—pink, white, and light blue—in response to _____’s roll back of protections for transgender students.

I think it looks gorgeous.

So, I was watching GMA this week and they were set to announce the latest contestants on Dancing With The ‘Hey, Didn’t You Used To Be Somebody?’ Stars. And amazingly enough one person who was ALLEGED to have been asked said, “Oh hell no.”

Hillary Clinton. Seriously. They asked Hillary Clinton to appear on their bumbling show.

I mean, who did they think she was: Rick Perry?

In Good LGBT News ... Arizona Wildcats recruit My-King Johnson will become the first openly gay football scholarship player in the NCAA.

King had verbally committed to UCLA before flipping to Arizona possibly, and I don’t know if this is for sure, but possibly because, when he told UA assistant coach Vince Amey about his orientation, Amey said:

“We want you to be a Wildcat.”

And that was what Johnson wanted to hear, and now he’s become a trailblazer of sorts:

“I do feel like when I say that, it can put a target on my back, but whatever.”

Exactly.

Good luck My-King ... ooh, that sounds kinda odd!

So Bates Motel is back for its final season and Mother is dead and Norman’s lost his mind and bodies are piling up at the motel.

And Rihanna is set to play the Janet Leigh role—stabbed in the shower, you know—as the season, and series ends but ...

First we have Austin Nichols, as the husband of a woman, a live woman, that Norman thinks looks suspiciously like Mother.

And Austin might not be such a good guy, but he is deliciously, evilly hot ... Carry on.

Damn it. A week or so ago American Horror Story creator Ryan Murphy was on Watch What Happens Live and suggested that the next season of the fright-fest might be the scariest ever because it was going to be based on the election last fall of _____.

Talk about horror! But now Murphy is saying he might have been a wee bit drunk when he said that and walked that idea back:

“The themes of ‘American Horror Story’ have always been allegories. You will not see [Donald] Trump and [Hillary] Clinton as characters on the show.”

He did mention, though, that AHS favorite, Sarah Paulson, would make a perfect Minister of Propaganda and AlternativeFactoid.

While I might have enjoyed a horror version of that horrible election, the idea of reliving that mess for a few months might have been too much even for me.

I love this story ... did you know that when you donate to Planned Parenthood you receive a Thank You letter? And if you donate in someone else’s name they receive a Thank You note? That happened last year when thousand s of folks donated to the cause in the name of Mike Pence and he received thousands of Thank You’s.

And now folks have been donating to Planned Parenthood in the name of Greg Locke, the pastor of something called Global Vision Bible Church and poor Greg has gone off on Facebook ...

‘SINCE PLANNED PARENTHOOD IS TAKING HUNDREDS OF DONATIONS IN MY NAME, I’LL REPOST THIS VIDEO. THIS IS ONE FIGHT I WILL NOT BACK DOWN FROM.”

Easy on the all-caps, Cowboy! Who do you think you are, the president?

Locke is anti-gay, anti-women’s right, anti-choice, anti-transgender, and even went last year posting videos denouncing Target’s gender-neutral bathroom policy.

Locke is also known as a “pervert hunter” though he might not be so good at that because just three years ago he hired a youth pastor who was later arrested on multiple counts of raping a thirteen-year-old girl.

So, if you wish to donate to PP, do it in Greg Locke’s name. Thank you.

So that picture ... of Kellyanne Conway, propped up on the couch in the Oval office looking like a stuffed, dumbassed lapdog, after taking a picture of Hair Furor with representatives from Historically Black Colleges and Universities.

What a display of disrespect from the C U Next Tuesday except .... Kellyanne is the victim, y’all:

“I was very busy today and didn’t follow a lot of [the controversy] but I know there are a couple of reports at least showing what happened. And what happened is we had the largest gathering of men and women to date in the Oval Office for a picture. I was being asked to take a picture in a crowded room with the press behind us. I was asked to take a certain angle and was doing exactly that. I certainly meant no disrespect, I didn’t mean to have my feet on the couch. It is venomous, it is vicious, it bothers my children to be frank with you. I have 24/7 Secret Service protection because people do wish us harm and people should take that very seriously. I’m not a victim at all but people should take very seriously the import of their words when I meant no disrespect. This came from a journalist that is not happy that Donald Trump is the President. But I just want people to focus on the great work of the HBCU presidents and how honored we were to have them here.”

Um, Kellyanne, you remarkably dip-shitted tool? No one questions the angle at which you took the picture, but we are wondering why you propped your foul ass on the couch like one of the Queen’s prized Corgi’s and then, after the photo, played tag the picture on Facebook while still sitting on the couch like a dog.

Show some respect in the last days you have in this job. You are an embarrassment. You knew you were being photographed because you said you were in front of a slew of photographers. Seriously, bitch, and I mean that in the most disrespectful way possible, is there one topic about which you will not lie?

That’s a rhetorical question.

Now get off the couch and get back in your kennel.

The Resistance Continues ...

Not quite three weeks into the _____ Regime and we have our first casualty with Michael Flynn resigning his post as National Security Advisor because he either lied to Vice president Mike Pence about things he may or may not have said to Russian diplomats and ambassadors, or he told the truth to Pence and then Pence lied to We The People.

Either way it’s just another liar in Hair Furors inner circle and the first to go.

But this isn’t about that, it’s about The Resistance and how it continues, and how it’s growing, and how it will work to change this mess we’ve gotten ourselves into by being complacent and thinking this could never happen.

Up in Raleigh, North Carolina, over 80,000 people marched against the _____ administration, and the policies he will try to enact with the GOP-led Congress on immigration, health care, gun control and civil rights.

The Reverend William Barber, president of the North Carolina NAACP branch, and leader of the “Moral Monday” movement:

“A racist and greedy extremism that came to power in North Carolina four years ago now controls the White House and the Congress in D.C. Millions are afraid.  A loud majority is outraged and the whole world is in turmoil asking what can we do. Well, we know we’ve got a hard fight ahead, but we know how to win.”

Resist. Stand up. March. Speak up. Vote.

Barber has called Hair Furor an “extremist, narcissistic con artist” who is “obviously unsuited for the job of president” and said he and others were marching “because it’s wrong to defend and excuse the lies and the fear and the hate of _____ism” that has brought “extreme federal appointees and white nationalists into the White House ...

“It’s wrong and it’s racist and it’s demonic to (instill) fear into our immigrant and our Muslim brothers and sisters. It’s wrong to build a wall to keep Mexicans out while you let the Russians in. Bowing down is not an option. Standing down is not an option. The guy in the White House is a mortal, not a god.”

And he’s got to go, and the more we march and speak out the more the movement grows; but it’s in the voting booth that the resistance turns real.

End the fear and hate that the GOP propagates as they try to serve only themselves and keep everyone else down.

Resist.

And then, up in St. Paul, Minnesota, about 500 people attended a protest against Planned Parenthood organized by the #ProtestPP Coalition to urge Congress to defund the organization.

Other marches were held around the country but it’s the one in ST. Paul that makes me the happiest because, while these 500 fools marched to defund Planned Parenthood, they were met by a group that was marching in support of the organization ... a group of over 5,000.

Five hundred against; five thousand in support. Strength in numbers y’all.

The Resistance, and the march, goes on ...

So, the Senate Republicans, lead by Mitch McTurtle, are saying they won’t  even allow a committee hearing on President Obama’s Supreme Court nominee no matter who that nominee might be because Obama is a Black man and he’s got no business telling racist Republicans what to do.

Okay, maybe that last part is what I said but I believe it to be true. But the Republicans don’t even care who the nominee is, even if it might be Nevada’s Republican Governor Brian Sandoval.

So, MoveOn has found a slew of Republicans who disagree with McTurtles and The Asshats — such as Senators Mark Kirk and Susan Collins and former Republican Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor — oh, and one more: the Messiah of the GOP, that Saint of All Republicans, Ronald Reagan:

Snap.

So, former failed — twice — GOP presidential contender Mitt Romney, who has endorsed Marco Rubio’s bid, is now speculating that Donald Trump might be deliberately concealing information about his net worth, his donation habits and his taxes.

Pot.Kettle.Black. It was just eight years ago that Romney tried to hide his wealth and minute tax bill from America and now he’s trying to use it against [t]Rump.

Why not simply say Donald [t]Rump is a bully and a moron and a loser? Keep the message simple.

I’m of two minds about this court order that Apple  must create a way to break into the San Bernardino terrorist’s iPhone.

First off, I don’t believe for one minute that Apple doesn’t already know how to do this, and

Secondly, how stupid does our government look that they can’t do it?

I mean, I bet there’s an eight-year-old in China right now who can do it …

Over there to Kentucky, the state Senate has approved a bill that creates different marriage license forms for gay and straight couples, with one Republican senator saying a form that does not include the words "bride" and "groom" is disrespectful to traditional families.

Yup, because Billy Bob and his cousin Betty Sue cannot sign a paper with the words “bride” and “groom” on ;’em, means they’re being discriminated against.

Future failed presidential candidate, Republican John Kasich says he rejects anti-LGBT discrimination by Christian-owned businesses though churches that discriminate are just fine with him:

“I think frankly, our churches should not be forced to do anything that’s not consistent with them. But if you’re a cupcake maker and somebody wants a cupcake, make them a cupcake. Let’s not have a big lawsuit or argument over all this stuff. Move on. The next thing, you know, they might be saying if you’re divorced you shouldn’t get a cupcake.”

But … before y’all get your rainbow flags out and think about marching behind Kasich, remembver5 he’s the Ohio governor who just last week cut funding to Planned Parenthood.

Yeah, he’s an asshat, too.
