We all know I have many … MANY … Husbands-In-My-Head but this is a tale about Carlos’ boyfriend.

When he and his family moved in behind us we struck up a n over the fence friendship and when Carlos asked me to describe the husband I said he was bearded and beefy and dirty, because he works with his hands. That intrigued Carlos so I began calling the new neighbor Carlos’ boyfriend and saying things like:

“Your boyfriend is outside.”

“Your boyfriend is working in his shed.”

Your boyfriend is mowing his yard.”

This week the neighbor was using a small tractor to grade his property for better water drainage and I said to Carlos:

“Your boyfriend is outside on a tractor. Maybe if you’re nice he’ll let you take a ride.”

“I don’t want to ride on a tractor.”

I smiled:

“I didn’t say anything about a tractor.”

I’m fun.

This Tuxedo Says is from July 2012 …

Can you imagine Tiffany testifying? 

I mean, she’d probably admit that Daddy kidnapped the Lindbergh baby if it saved her ass.

Actor and director Rob Reiner and his wife Michele, a film producer, were killed this past weekend by their own son, Nick, who had a history of substance abuse issues.

But this isn’t about that.

Rob Reiner starred in one of the most iconic TV shows of all time, All in the Family, and went on to produce and direct such films as This Is Spinal Tap, Stand by Me, The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally…, Misery, A Few Good Men, The American President, LBJ, and The Story of Us among others.

But this isn’t about that either.

At a time when many people in this country stood against LGBTQ+ rights and marriage equality Reiner cofounded the American Foundation for Equal Rights, which funded the legal fight against Prop 8, the California ballot measure that revoked marriage equality in that state.

When two same-sex couples—Kris Perry and Sandy Stier, and Paul Katami and Jeff Zarrillo—sued over Prop. 8 after they were denied marriage licenses, the American Foundation for Equal Rights hired lawyers Ted Olson and David Boies to argue the case against Prop. 8.

U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker ruled in 2010 that Prop. 8 violated the U.S. Constitution while California state officials in two consecutive administrations declined to defend Prop. 8; in 2012, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit upheld Walker’s ruling and the following year, the U.S. Supreme Court let that decision stand.

Reiner likened the Prop. 8 case to the landmark civil rights case Brown v. Board of Education, which determined that separate is not equal:

“We don’t believe in separate but equal in any other legal position except this. We feel that this is the last piece of the civil rights puzzle being put into place.”

And he continued to be an ally; at the Human Rights Campaign’s Los Angeles dinner in 2019, he spoke out for LGBTQ+ equality, saying:

“We have to move past singling out transgender, LGBTQ, Black, white, Jewish, Muslim, Latino. We have to get way past that and start accepting the idea that we’re all human beings. We’re all human beings, we all share the same planet, and we should all have the same rights, period. It’s no more complicated than that.”

At a time when the courts, the state legislatures, and our own Congress were standing against equality Rob and Michele Reiner stood up for simple equality, for all of us.

That’s what this is about.

Thank you, Rob and Michele, for taking up the fight, for standing by us, and with us, and with anyone who’s ever been considered less than in America.

RIP

I just saw the photos Vanity Fair took of Cankles staff, unretouched photos, and the right is calling it an act of sabotage. I say, Good for Vanity Fair, showing that his team is rotting right before our eyes.

Claudio Breitscheidel was born in Southern Germany to Polish immigrant parents who wanted to model after seeing an ad on television and two weeks later he was walking in Fashion Week. He moves fast, so … Would you Hit It?

Ain't That America XXI

Another week down, and part of the White House has fallen, along with our democracy ... and we elarn that Cankles is hoping to make money because he was invetsigated for a crime ... and he takes OUR money and gives it to another country while Americans in need of healthcare or food porgrams will go without so ...

... this comes as no surprise as we see the daily piles of literal rubble at the White House but nearly two-thirds of Americans believe the US is headed in the wrong direction, fueled by dissatisfaction with Cankles’ impact on the economy, immigration, race relations and the nation’s global standing. Six in 10 Americans say the state of race relations in the US has mostly changed for the worse since the beginning of the year and that cuts in federal funding of health care programs such as Medicaid, Medicare and the Affordable Care Act have gone too far.

But wait, there’s more … as Americans struggle with rising costs Cankles has decreed that the federal government owes him “a lot of money” for prior Justice Department investigations into his actions and insisted he would have the ultimate say on any payout because any decision will “have to go across my desk.”

Yes, Americans are suffering, while he gives $40,000,000,000 to Argentina and now he’s saying that We The People owe him $230 million in damages related to the FBI’s 2022 search of his Mar-a-Lago property for classified documents and for a separate investigation into potential ties between Russia and his 2016 presidential campaign.

But wait, there’s still more … the White House said last week that it will submit plans for Cankles’ “Jeffrey Epstein Ballroom”—not the actual name—project to a body that oversees federal building construction, even though demolition work has already begun.

Yet many people … count me in …  are sickened by images of the White House walls crumbling after Cankles lied that the project would not interfere with the existing landmark.

But wait, I’m not finished … The Dutch intelligence services AIVD and MIVD have reduced the amount of information they share with their American counterparts, citing political developments in the United States under Cankles and growing concerns over the politicization of intelligence and “respect for human rights.”

The Netherlands is will instead focus on European cooperation because they can be trusted.

And still more … after the peace agreement and another Nobel Peace Prize beg Israel has once again started bombing Gaza after Hamas militants fired anti-tank missiles at Israeli soldiers. The clashes were the most serious escalation since the ceasefire came into force proving that no one on either said knows what the hell “cease fire” means.

And then … Idaho consumers are getting the nation’s first look at price increases hitting Affordable Care Act [ACA, or Obamacare] marketplace plans as the federal tax credits that helped to trigger the Cankles and GOP Government Shutdown™ expire.

On average, gross premiums, or the overall cost of the premium, have gone up about 10% and the net premium, or the amount the consumer pays after the tax credit has been applied, has increased about 75%.

And lastly … in addition, millions  of low-income Americans will lose access to food aid on November 1, when half of states plan to cut off benefits also due to the Cankles and GOP Government Shutdown™. Twenty-five states are issuing notices informing participants of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program [SNAP]—the nation’s largest anti-hunger initiative—that they won’t receive checks next month.

But the ballroom and the payout for investigations into Cankles crimes …

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes has filed a lawsuit to try to force House Speaker Mike “Little Man” Johnson to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva, the Arizona Democrat who won her late father’s seat in a special election nearly one month ago.

Johnson, a Louisiana Republican, has said he will seat Grijalva once Senate Democrats agree to reopen the government but the two have nothing to do with one another and Johnson is trying to hold off on a vote to release the Epstein files as Grijalva could be the deciding factor.

Cankles biographer Michael Wolff sued First Slovenian Hooker Lady Melanie to stop her from filing a defamation suit over his statements about Melanie and Cankles’ relationship to convicted pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.

Wolff, a journalist whose upcoming book is tentatively titled “The Art of Her Deal: The Untold Story of Melania _____ (Redux),” claims Melanie’s lawyers sent a letter threatening to sue him for over $1 billion in damages and demanding he apologize for suggesting online that she is playing a behind-the-scenes role in the Cankles’ Regimes’ messy handling of the Epstein files.

Oh Melanie, admit it … we already know the truth.

The NFL is not considering dropping Bad Bunny as its Super Bowl halftime headline performer, commissioner Roger Goodell said this week:

“It’s carefully thought through. I’m not sure we’ve ever selected an artist where we didn’t have some blowback or criticism. It’s pretty hard to do when you have literally hundreds of millions of people that are watching.”

Good on the NFL for not caving.

Former special counsel Jack Smith has offered to testify in open hearings before the House and Senate Judiciary Committees about the federal investigations into Cankles’ handling of sensitive documents and alleged efforts to subvert the transfer of power after the 2020 election,.

Get the popcorn ready because Jack Smith has zero fucks to give.

Faux-Christian KKKarolying Leavitt’s tirade against the “Democrat activist” judge at the center of a deportation-related court conflict was interrupted by an awkward exchange after she falsely said, again, that Barack Obama first appointed him.

“It’s very clear that this is an activist judge [U.S District Judge James Boasberg ] who is trying to usurp the president’s authority. Under the Alien Enemies Act, the president has this power and that’s why this deportation campaign can be continued. This judge, Judge Boasberg, is a Democrat activist. He was appointed by Barack Obama. His wife has donated more than $10,000 to Democrats and he has consistently shown his disdain for this president and his policies and it’s unacceptable.”

Leavitt was then interrupted by NBC’s White House Correspondent Garrett Haake, who had asked the initial question about the deportations. He said Judge Boasberg “was originally appointed by George W. Bush and elevated by Barack Obama. I just felt like I should correct that.”

Leavitt ignored the correction and changed the topic cuz that’s what she does when she’s caught in a lie. And good on Garrett Haake for calling her out.

Dr. Mehmet Oz, AKA Snake Oil Salesman and administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, suggested Cankles has a plan to replace the Affordable Care Act — but provided no specifics about the proposal.

I wonder if it was the plan he promised every single lying year of his first term, or in nearly every single speech he gave while running in 2020—and losing—and running again in 2024 when he said he had a “concept of a plan.”

Hey Mehmet, take two Tylenol and try again.

Cankles’ plan to double the size of the ICEstapo has met a foe more powerful than any activist group … the ICEstapo personal-fitness test which more than 65% of applicants have failed, impeding the DogKiller’s plan to hire, train, and deploy 10,000 deportation officers by January. Applicants must do 15 push-ups and 32 sit-ups and run 1.5 miles in 14 minutes but they can’t.

But when your leader’s boss is a bloated gasbag  of orange flesh telling you about getting in shape this is what happens.

Speaking of a bloated gasbag  of orange flesh, last week Cankles’ boarded Air Force One using the small stairs due toALLEGED  “increased security measures” at Palm Beach International Airport but in reality maybe the gelatinous tub of flesh can’t hike the long stairs.

House Speaker Mike Johnson doubled down on his criticisms of millions and millions of protesters at last weekend’s “No Kings” rallies across the nation, decrying the widely peaceful demonstrations as evidence of “a rise of Marxism in the Democratic Party.”

Funny, cuz the last time we saw a MAGAt demonstration they broke into a federal building, broke window, busted door, stole government documents and equipment, smeared feces on the walls and threatened to kill the Vice President.

But go ahead, Little Johnson, tell us how dangerous the No Kings protests were.

The Resistance is out there and growing.

Some readers think I pick on Carlos a lot even though he loves being featured on the blog and has a fabulous sense of humor; he loves the attention. But now, I am beginning to wonder.

Every Sunday Carlos makes pancakes and last week, as he was serving them, he was setting my plate down on the table and tipped my café con leche into my lap.

Two days later, I was working in the office and he came back with a plastic container of gorgonzola to ask if it was bad. I took the container, opened the lid and knew instantly it wasn’t good. I handed him back the container but he knocked it back at me, throwing cheese all over my shirt.

I may have to rethink the Tales of Carlos stories.

Nah.

This Tuxedo Says is from February 4, 2020 …

But the real question is how much will it cost to change their name from GOP to PPP … Pedophile Protection Paty?

Let me get this queer … MAGAts want to save girls from trans athletes but not from wealthy sexual predators?

Got it.

I hate to play the conspiracy card but anyone who paved over a rose garden and wants a huge ballroom—though they have no balls—doesn’t plan on leaving the White House in three years and if that doesn’t scare you into The Resistance and into voting Blue I don’t know what will.

I helped my neighbor out with something this morning and she said to me, "I could marry you"

I couldn't believe it ... You do something nice for someone and they threaten to ruin your life in return.

If baking a cake for a same-sex wedding is endorsing homosexuality, then voting for a pedophile is endorsing pedophilia.

The Felon appeared on the roof of the White House yesterday so either he was thinking of jumping, but sadly didn’t follow through, or Melanie threw a snack up there and then locked the door.

More likely, he’s a demented traitorous moron.

Dean Cain, who played Superman in the 1990s series "Lois & Clark," revealed to fans … er fan … that he had enlisted as an officer in the Immigration and Customs Enforcement [ICE].

Well, to be fair, his acting career has basically been over since Superman was cancelled … and from the looks of the bloated face, maybe he meant his was asking for more ice in his vodka tonic?

Sergio Fernandez is a Latino older male model with salt-and-pepper hair and gorgeous baby blues so, Would You Hit It?

Ain't That America IX

Another week, and more scandals ... the Jeffrey Epstein scandal is still kicking because You-Know-Who is on The List and In The File … a Republican hates immigrants who are criminals unless they’re in his own family … another Republicans wants Palestinians to starve to death … instead of helping in the aftermath of natural disasters, FEMA will be spending its money to build more concentration camps … but George Santos went to jail and more Good News …

“Without my family, I’m nothing,” read the subject line of an email sent by then-state GOP Representative Gabe Evans to supporters in 2023 telling the story Evans has repeated often throughout his political career of his grandfather, Cuauhtemoc Chavez, who was born in Mexico and earned U.S. citizenship through his Army service in World War II.

But a 1941 INS document shows that Cuauhtemoc entered the country unlawfully with his mother and siblings in 1929 and resided unlawfully in Texas; it also shows that Cuauhtemoc, at 16 years old, was arrested for an “immigration violation” and “made the subject of deportation proceedings.” Cuauhtemoc’s AR-2 form also lists a prior, undated arrest for “attempted burglary.”

A category of immigrants that Evans has said without exception should be deported.

Oops.

The Felon, at a White House reception for Republican lawmakers:

“Where’s Tulsi? She’s like, hotter than everybody. She’s the hottest one in the room right now. Speaker, she’s hotter than you right now, speaker. She’s the hottest person in the room right now, speaker. She found out that Barack Hussein Obama led a group of people and they cheated in the elections and they cheated without question. She has all the documents; she has everything that you need. You’ve found things that nobody thought we’d ever find. Would you say there is even a little question there Tulsi? She says no. Very happy and very honored to have you with us. We’re very proud of you, Tulsi.”

I’d take a year of Joe’s stutter over this nonsensical childish bull shit from a rapist.

This week GOP Representative Randy Fine said Palestinians should “starve away” while also claiming the reports of people dying of hunger due to the US-backed Israeli blockade are a “lie.”

This was in response to the news that 15 Palestinians, including four children, died of starvation over 24 hours; reports of starvation deaths from Gaza’s Health Ministry are corroborated by photos and interviews with family members of those who died, including six-week-old Yousef al-Safadi, who lost his life due to the lack of baby formula.

Since winning a special election to replace GOP Representative Mike Waltz, Fine has called for nuking Gaza and has called Muslim members of Congress “terrorists.”

I think the guy who cheers children starving and wants to “nuke” an entire region is the actual terrorist.

Senate Republicans handed The Felon a win with confirmation of one his first judicial nominees, Joshua Divine who has a long record of litigation against women’s reproductive rights, who argued in favor of bringing back literacy tests for voting, who has compared LGBTQ rights to pedophilia and bestiality., and who believes Christians are “obliged ethically to impose their beliefs on others.”

This is why we vote and why we resist.

Facing backlash from MAGA supporters about the handling of files related to Jeffrey Epstein The Felon’s regime has begun squawking … Comey … Hillary … Obama … and wants these years old grievances litigated again.

He’s on the list y’all, as a rapist.

The Felon, in another attempt at deflection, is threatening to hold up a new stadium deal for Washington’s NFL team if it does not restore its old name of the Redskins, which is considered offensive to Native Americans; he also wants Cleveland’s baseball team to revert to its former name, the Indians.

Other folks suggest an entirely different name …

The Federal Emergency Management Agency is preparing to send $608 million to states to construct immigrant detention centers Kristi’s Koncentration Kamps as part of The Felon’s to round up more innocent immigrants.

I guess we don’t need money for the floods in Texas or the fires in the northeast or tornados in the Midwest of hurricanes in the south. We just need more camps for the ICEstapo to fill up.

A U.S. appeals court has declined to lift restrictions imposed by The Felon’s Fascist Regime on White House access by Associated Press journalists after the news organization declined to refer to the body of water long called the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America as he prefers.

Freedom of the Press is dying, y’all.

Oklahoma’s Senate President Pro Tem, Republican  Lonnie Paxton, said an inquiry is underway following “a bizarre and troubling situation” where two board members reported that they saw naked women on State Superintendent, and Nationalist Christian AKA Nat-C, Ryan Walters’ office TV.

This is the guy who wants The Felon Bibles in every classroom, forced daily prayers to Jesus, and purity tests to weed out “woke” and pro-LGBTQ teachers while he watches nekkid women in his office?

Judge Colleen McMahon of the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York issued a preliminary injunction stopping the mass cancellation of National Endowment for the Humanities grants to members of the Authors Guild on the grounds that their First Amendment rights were violated.

The resistance at work.

Disgraced former GOP Representative and Liar and Drag Queen George Santos reported to a federal prison in New Jersey to begin serving a seven-year sentence for the fraud charges that got him ousted from Congress.

Cell Block Q got a new bitch, y’all!

U.S. District Judge Lindsay C. Jenkins for the Northern District of Illinois Eastern dismissed “in its entirety” The Felon Regime’s lawsuit against Illinois, Cook County and the city of Chicago over “sanctuary city” policies that the fascists say will impede its efforts to crack down on undocumented immigrants. Jenkins says The Felon “lacks standing” to invalidate the state, city and county laws that limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.

Well, of course he lacks standing; have you seen his cankles?

District of Massachusetts Judge William Young, appointed by Reagan, has ruled that many of The Felon’s cuts to grants for the National Institutes of Health are now “void and illegal” and declares:

“Have we fallen so low? Have we no shame? I am hesitant to draw this conclusion, but I have an unflinching obligation to draw it—that this represents racial discrimination and discrimination against America’s LGBTQ community. That’s what this is. I would be blind not to call it out. My duty is to call it out. I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this ... I ask myself; how can this be?"

In total, Young has ordered the NIH to move forward with disbursement on funding for 357 grants that fascism tried to kill.

The Felon posted an AI-generated video showing former President Barack Obama being arrested.

If it weren’t so disgusting, the idea that a convicted felon with his own mugshot has to post a faked image of someone he fears, someone he’s jealous of, someone he will never be, would be laughable.

For his family’s holiday this year the Vice president CouchFucker AKA James Donald Bowman AKA James David Bowman AKA James Hamel AKA JD Vance is taking his family to the Cotswolds in England.

The people of the area are less than pleased and if tradition continues CouchFucker-Bowman-Hamel-Vance’s will be booed off the island quite quickly.

Gird your Sofas, Great Britain.

Newly uncovered archived video footage and photos reveal fresh details about The Felon’s friendship with fellow pedophile and rapist Jeffrey Epstein. Photos from 1993 confirm for the first time that Epstein attended The Felon’s 1993 wedding to Marla Maples.

In a brief call with CNN, The Felon was asked about the wedding photos, responded:

“You’ve got to be kidding me.”

Oops, Demented DonOLD, you lied. Is it because you’re on the list?

An effort is under way among some Pentagon officials to denounce Pete Hegseth as unfit to serve as Defense Secretary. Since May, drafts of a letter have been circulating among high and mid-level military brass and civilian workers to ‘Let the American public know this guy has no clue what he’s doing,’ one of them told DailyMail.com.

Three Pentagon officials—two military and one civilian, and each with at least 20 years in the department—spoke on the condition of anonymity. Aside from losing their jobs, they fear prosecution by the fascists.

Between Epstein and Bondi and Hegseth, The Felon is not having a good week, but we are …

And now for some funny … The Felon has announced that he will get drug prices down ...

“Not 30 or 40 or 50%, not 60%—which would be great. We gonna get em down 1,000%, 600%, 500%, 1500%. These are numbers not even thought to be achievable. Because I used a certain talent that I have and convinced the drug companies that you have no choice. The drug companies – one-fifth, one-half. It’s a tremendous difference and this is for the people in this room. Because this is something that nobody else can do.”

Does he not know math at all?

But he will know this …
