Ain't That America XXIX ...

I have decided to simplify the “Ain’t That America” posts by giving you what amounts to a headline, along with my personal thoughts about said headline. It’s quicker for me to post a few bullet points and quicker for y’all to read, so let’s go …

What better way to get the media and your enemies to stop talking about you raping girls on a tropical island than by invading another country.

Remember when the GOP went after Putin for invading Ukraine without cause but stayed silent when America raided Venezuela for the same reason last week? It’s not drugs or terrorism; it’s oil and money and greed.

If you needed proof that former news network SeeBS has flipped to the MAGAt side, note that the White House gave them the scoop on the illegal attack on Venezuela.

Candace Owens says it was the Jews who orchestrated the attack on Venezuela because Candace is an anti-Semitic lunatic.

Cankles now says the US will “run” Venezuela. Funny, because he is running America into the ground so I guess we can see the future of Venezuela.

Miss Lindsey Graham pulled her head out of Cankles’ ass long enough to call the attack on Venezuela “amazing”  and says Cuba should be next.

Pammy Jo Bondi praised Cankles for his “courage” in sitting in the White House and ordering American military men and women to put their lives on the line in Venezuela while he stuffed his gullet with McDonalds.

Senator Tim Kaine says he will force a Senate vote on Cankles war powers, though the GOP—still Carrying Cankles’ water—will fight that.

Most of the world has denounced America—and Cankles—for the attack; that ain’t America when most of the world comes for us.

One MAGAt Republican Thomas Massie claims Cankles’ threat to Iran is just like Venezuela: it’s about oil and money. One smart Republican who isn’t afraid to speak the truth.

It seems that both Cankles and the Couchfucker claim the attack on Venezuela was because they had “stolen” our oil with no explanation of how it was done … maybe it was that giant invisible pipeline Venezuela built in Alaska to funnel oil to South America when no one was watching?

The Wall Street Journal poked Cankles for going TACO on another round of tariffs.

The Democrats vow to campaign on the expired Obamacare subsidies and the idea that a great many Americans will see their health care insurance rates triple, but, hey, there’s oil to be had in Venezuela.

Tommy Tuberville, GOP clown, and many in that party, melted down over NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani taking the oath of office on the Quran. Funny they had no trouble with a rapist, pussy grabbing pedophile swearing on the Bible.

Cankles says White House doctors say he’s in “perfect health” which explains the near constant medical procedures, the MRIs and the rotting flesh on both his hands, as well as those elephant ankles.

And Lastly, because this is funny and stupid and scary and all the things, but Chief Justice of the Supreme Court John Roberts is now calling for judicial impartiality. It’s kinda late, you traitorous prick.

And now you know, so …

Ain't That America XX

I’m going to try something different this week. Rather than focusing on the many bad things happening in this country, I have opted to focus on three things that piss me off … the phony peace deal between Israel and Gaza where the bombs are still dropping … the idea that this country is bailing out another country while our government is closed and our economy is in the tank … and the rise of Nazis, rapists and murderers in the GOP and the GOP doesn’t seem to care. And then we’ll have the good news, and there is some … from judges topping Cankles … to nekkid bike riders making a mockery of the DogKiller … and ending with No Kings Day and how the march is still going on and getting larger … so let’s dish …

In case you don’t know, it was President Joe Biden who secured the release of 140 hostages in Gaze while Cankles got 28 out. If anyone deserves credit it’s the Peace President and not the guy bombing boasts in the Caribbean.

But wait, there’s more … while Israelis and Palestinians danced in the streets when news broke overnight that a deal had been reached between Hamas and Israel over the first phase of a peace deal for Gaza, the terms of the deal were in place more than a year ago.

Gershon Baskin, the architect of the negotiations that freed the Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit in 2011, revealed that Hamas had agreed to the exact same terms of the Cankles deal in September 2024, in the last months of the Biden administration, but that Biden officials had disregarded it while Benjamin Netanyahu had refused point blank.

Bibi and Cankles met at Mar-a-Lago and decided to hold off on the treaty until Cankles took office to avoid giving credit to President Biden, so every single bomb, every rifle shot, on both sides,. And every death of men, women and children, is the fault of Cankles and Bibi who allowed war to continue and people to die so they could get the “win.”

Murderers and war criminals, both.

While hundreds of thousands of American service members brace for missed paychecks during the Cankles-GOP shutdown. The president decided to hand over $40 billion to Argentina … and to makes matters worse, his billionaire friends will make money on the deal while Americans go without pay.

Pay will be frozen soon for the troops and is now frozen for most federal workers and then the Cankles Regime began laying off government workers while the Treasury gives billions away to Argentina.

Hey MAGAts? How does this Make America Great Again? And how do you feel knowing that every single American is paying $100 each to save a foreign president from an economy he created? Do you have a wife and a couple of kids?

You paid $400 to help Argentina.

Leaders of Young Republican groups throughout the country worried what would happen if their Telegram chat ever got leaked, but they kept typing anyway and now they got caught referring to Black people as monkeys and “the watermelon people” and giggled about putting their political opponents in gas chambers … raping their enemies and driving them to suicide:

William Hendrix, the Kansas Young Republicans’ vice chair, used the words “n–ga” and “n–guh,” variations of a racial slur, more than a dozen times in the chat. Bobby Walker, the vice chair of the New York State Young Republicans at the time, referred to rape as “epic.” Peter Giunta, who at the time was chair of the same organization, wrote in a message sent in June that “everyone that votes no is going to the gas chamber.”

Vice President JD CouchF*cker Vance waded into the uproar, drawing criticism by saying a Democratic politician’s text messages suggesting the former Virginia House speaker should be shot were worse:

“This is far worse than anything said in a college group chat, and the guy who said it could become the AG of Virginia. I refuse to join the pearl clutching when powerful people call for political violence.”

Remember JD was the wimpy little lapdog called Cankles ‘America’s Hitler’ and now he’s the guy who rationalized Young Republicans praising Hitler.”

When they show you who they are … racist, Nazis, rapists, believe them.

Out in Oklahoma, where new state schools Superintendent Lindel Fields—who took over for MAGAt faux Christian and porn addict Ryan Walters, announced that he is dropping a Bible-teaching mandate for Oklahoma public schools issued by his predecessor.

It’s quite simple: the Separation of Church and State keeps religion out of schools, but if you want to learn the Bible you can go to a religious school or a church. You don’t need to inflict your faith on others.

At the Pentagon this week a  flyer with the words “journalism is not a crime” appeared on the wall outside the “Correspondents’ Corridor” where journalists operate; it was a silent protest of Defense Secretary, and DUI hire,  Pete Hegseth’s new policy that severely restricts press access.

The policy criminalizes routine reporting, according to media lawyers and advocates, so nearly all news outlets … even Fox News … are refusing to abide by it and are giving up their access while vowing to cover Hegseth and the military from outside the Pentagon’s five walls.

Nice to see the press take a stand. Now, take on the White House.

US District Judge Susan Illston issued an emergency order that the Cankles’ Regime must stop firing workers during the government shutdown. Illston said the administration was acting without thinking through its decisions … go figure … and said:

“It’s very much ready, fire, aim on most of these programs, and it has a human cost and it’s a human cost that cannot be tolerated.”

Stand up!

MAGAt supporters who paid for the new Cankles watches are seriously ticked off with many calling the sale a scam ... the watches are actually made in Wyoming, not in Switzerland ... after their orders were never filled.

Wait. Cankles scammed you on your Cankles watch, for which you paid anywhere from $499 to $2,999 per watch, or $5,389 for the “Ultra Mega Collector Set?”

Huh. Who saw that coming?

This week Australia’s highest court rejected US conservative commentator, and certifiable nutjob, Candace Owens’ bid to overturn an Australian government decision barring her from visiting the country. Three High Court judges unanimously rejected Owens’ challenge to Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke’s decision in 2024 to refuse her a visa on character grounds.

Sorry, Candy, they don’t want you.

The city of Lansing, Michigan will become an LGBTQ+ Welcoming City after City Council members voted unanimously  to pass a resolution expressing support for the LGBTQ+ community. The resolution “recognizes that, in the face of inadequate state and federal protections, we must take proactive steps to safeguard our most vulnerable residents.”

It’s a step and one step leads to another.

The Supreme Court rejected an appeal from conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and left in place the $1.4 billion judgment against him over his description of the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting as a hoax staged by crisis actors.

Good. SCOTUS did something right for a change.

Seattle-Tacoma International Airport will not broadcast a video of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem saying Democrats caused the federal government shutdown  due to its “political nature” saying:

“The Port of Seattle will not play the video on its screens at SEA Airport, due to the political nature of the content. We continue to urge bipartisan efforts to end the government shutdown and are working to find ways to support federal employees working without pay at SEA during the shutdown.”

And then Phoenix  joined Seattle, followed quickly by Portland … Buffalo, Charlotte, Cleveland, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas-Fort Worth, Dallas Love Field, Denver, JFK, LaGuardia, Newark, and San Francisco …

This is The Resistance at work.

Protesters rallying against the Cankles’ Regime in Portland put the city’s quirky and irreverent reputation on display last week by pedaling through the streets wearing nothing — or close to it — in an “emergency” edition of the annual World Naked Bike Ride. The ride usually happens in the summer, but organizers hastily said another nude ride was necessary to speak out against Cankles’ attempts to mobilize the National Guard to quell protests.

Crowds have gathered daily and nightly outside the immigration facility in Portland donning inflatable frog, unicorn, axolotl and banana costumes as they face off with federal law enforcement who often deploy tear gas and pepper balls.

Nekkid Resistance.

This week Cankles lied … what else is new … blaming the January 6 Capitol riot on former President Joe Biden, claiming that:

“THE BIDEN FBI PLACED 274 AGENTS INTO THE CROWD ON JANUARY 6. If this is so, which it is, a lot of very good people will be owed big apologies. What a SCAM – DO SOMETHING!!! President DJT”

Trouble is, Biden was not president on that day and in control of the federal government, which includes the FBI.

Cankles was in charge on 1/6 and is trying to rewrite history.

The Cankles Regime raced to rescind layoffs of hundreds of scientists at the Centers for Disease Control [CDC] who were mistakenly fired on in what appeared to be a substantial procedural lapse.

Among those wrongly dismissed were the top two leaders of the federal measles response team, those working to contain Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo, members of the Epidemic Intelligence Service, and the team that assembles the C.D.C.’s vaunted scientific journal, The Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.

The stupidity of this fascist clown car is stunning.

Cankles is quite upset about the photo of him on the latest issue of Time magazine, whining on Truth Social”

“Time Magazine wrote a relatively good story about me, but the picture may be the Worst of All Time. They ‘disappeared’ my hair, and then had something floating on top of my head that looked like a floating crown, but an extremely small one. Really weird! I never liked taking pictures from underneath angles, but this is a super bad picture, and deserves to be called out. What are they doing, and why?”

Pictures don’t lie … and I notice you said nothing about your vagina neck.

Sean Duffy, reality show star and Transportation Secretary, says the No Kings protests are part of antifa, paid protesters.

It begs two questions, the first being: if antifa is anti-fascism and you, Sean Duffy, are anti-anti-fascism that makes you pro-fascism?

And who has so much money they can pay millions and millions of people all around the world to attend a No Kings protest. Like all in the regime, when Duffy speaks, it’s a lie.

As the House remains out of session into a third week, Speaker Mike Johnson defended his decision to not swear in Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva until the full chamber returns to Washington.

But maybe it’s the fact that Grijalva, the Arizona Democrat who won a special election last month, would be the 218th signature needed to force a bipartisan vote to compel the release of more Jeffrey Epstein case files.

Little Mike is scrambling to save his master.

It appears that members of Congress are growing irritated by Border Barbie’s power. They claim that necessary government contracts are being slow-walked and that her office has become difficult to communicate with … go figure, there’s probably no photo op happening.

At the Federal Emergency Management Agency, housed in DHS, the DogKiller’s antics have significantly slowed the agency’s normally routine process of distributing much-needed funds to states trying to rebuild in the aftermath of natural disasters.

Huh, maybe the GOP should have seen that before they approved her nomination.

The US Chamber of Commerce sued the Cankles Regime over its decision to raise the fee for H-1B work visa applications to $100,000, arguing that Cankles exceeded his authority in altering the visa program.; you don’t say?

And are they going to ask where these extra funds will be going?

Admiral Alvin Holsey, the military commander overseeing the Pentagon’s escalating attacks against boats in the Caribbean Sea that the Regime says are smuggling drugs is stepping down.

It was unclear why Admiral Holsey is leaving less than a year into his tenure, and in the midst of the biggest operation in his 37-year career but one of the US officials—all of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity—say Admiral Holsey had raised concerns about the mission and the attacks on the alleged drug boats.

Holsey is Resisting.

Cankles #3 son, Eric, bizarrely stated he's Daddy’s "good boy"—and now a wave of mockery is lighting up social media. It started when CNN's Kaitlan Collins asked Eric:

"Obviously there are investment projects happening in Indonesia. First off, have you heard from the president?"

Collins was referring to a hot mic moment in which Cankles was overheard speaking to Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto, saying "I'll have Eric call you" and referring to him as a "good boy." The audio immediately supercharged rumors of a corrupt backroom business deal, which has become commonplace with this regime but it didn’t help Eric’s Dumb reputation when he said:

"No, not about that but I'm glad he acknowledges that I'm a good boy. I am a good boy."

In addition to being an incredibly strange thing for a grown man to say, Eric’s Good Little Boy moment spurred on the internet:

"What grown man says he's glad his Dad thinks he's a good boy????"

"If a Democrat offered him a hug he'd rat his daddy out tomorrow..."

"'I’m a good boy' says 41-year-old Eric. And he knows it’s true, because he made all gone with his bowl of paint chips this morning. And unlike daddy, he hasn’t made boom-boom in his pants today. But it’s early."

"Eric … has somehow out-parodied The Onion's depiction of him.”

That family is the poster family for dysfunction/

Lastly, organizers for Saturday’s No Kings protests against Cankles said nearly seven million Americans took part—two million more than the first “No Kings” protest in June:

“In one of the largest single-day nationwide demonstrations in U.S. history, nearly seven million Americans gathered today, 2 million more than June, in over 2,700 cities and towns for the No Kings Day of Peaceful Action, standing together in nonviolent defiance of authoritarianism and affirming that this nation belongs to its people, not to kings. With more than 2,700 lawful and peaceful protests across all 50 states, today’s mobilization was 14 times larger than both of President Trump’s presidential inaugurations combined, marking a historic moment of unity and resistance,” the statement added. “From rural communities to major metropolitan centers, the message was clear: America will not be ruled by fear, force, or one man’s power grab.”

Cultists are, of course, denying those numbers but at the Columbia protest we met many Republicans who came out in protest of Cankles. Keep the momentum up and take that to the polls, this fall and in 2026.

I Didn't Say It: The Lunatic Fringe Edition, But First ...

… the Official Presidential Portrait of Thing 45 … er, Mr-Former-Fake-One-Term-Twice-Impeached-Currently-Four-Time-Criminally-Indicted-Not-My-President-Gurl … hat tip to Randy Rainbow … er, INMATE # P01135809

Matt Walsh, Daily Wire host, whose fan murdered Laura Ann Carleton for displaying a rainbow flag, trying to compare drag to blackface:

“People are very offended by blackface these days because it’s a caricature. It’s degrading and everything else. But, of course, drag is woman face, and it’s every bit as degrading and every bit the caricature, and really even more so. Well, I’ll make it make sense for you. That’s because the guy in a dress is a million times more objectionable than blackface. You know—approximately. Really more than a million times. It’s infinite. And, in fact, it’s infinitely more degrading and offensive and also harmful for the culture.”

Funny he doesn’t explain how it’s harmful to the culture, but a man who rages against the LGBTQ+ community so hard that one of his ardent fans commits a murder, I would suggest, is the really harmful thing going on.

Oh, and Matt Walsh can shut the fuck up.

Kevin Sorbo, actor … hold for laughter … saying he’s been blackballed from Hollywood for being a Christian conservative Thing 45 lover:

“It was sad to me, you know, my manager and agent for so many years said that we can’t get you jobs anymore, work with you because of you being a Christian, being a conservative. And I almost had to laugh at that because it’s an industry that screams for tolerance, and yet it’s a one-way street. It screams for freedom of speech. But Hollywood’s a one-way street as well. And that’s just too bad, you know. The truth is too difficult for some people to take.”

Give us one job you didn’t get; give us the name of one project you weren’t hired for because you’re a Christian or a rightwingnut.

Look in the mirror, Jerkules, you don’t get hired because you’re a talentless hack.

PS  a quick scan of his IMDb page shows that Sorbo has worked steadily the last few years so, for a Christian and conservative, he’s a liar … big surprise, eh?

Liz Murrill, GOP candidate for Louisiana Attorney General, on pot ruining the world with its smell and, oh yeah, being laced with fentanyl:

“It just starts with pot. That’s why I’m not a fan of recreational use of pot. I think everywhere we go, we see these communities that are just being destroyed by the smell and it is bad. The people are sleeping on the streets. One thing leads to the other. It is not a great environment. If you go to Portland, you can’t even walk downtown. Go to Washington, D.C., walk around Vegas, it’s horrible. New Orleans is bad enough, and it’s really effectively legalized in New Orleans because nobody enforces the law. I’m not going to go into a hotel and the elevator smells no good for what it’s worth. The fact is that that also creates a great black market, and that’s what actually creates a great avenue for more fentanyl. And they do put fentanyl in pot a lot. It is also a problem, frankly, with abortion pills online.”

Oops, wait? Fentanyl is in pot and abortion pills? Someone needs to check her tinfoil hat …

PS Is it me, or does she seem to know all the best places to go for The Pot Smell™?

Sarah Huckabee Sanders, seeking to deny the teaching of Black history in America:

“We’ve got to get back to the basics of teaching math, of teaching, reading, writing and American history. And we cannot perpetuate a lie to our students and push this propaganda leftist agenda, teaching our kids to hate America and hate one another. It’s one of the reasons that we put into law banning things like indoctrination and CRT [critical race theory]. We want our kids to receive a quality education, and we want to make sure that every student has access to it and a pathway to prosperity. And that’s exactly what we’re doing here in the state of Arkansas.”

Here's the real scoop on Aunt Lydia … teaching Black history is American History and it doesn’t make kids hate America.

It makes their racist parents and their racist GOP leaders scared that these kids will grow up to understand where our country has been,  and perhaps work to make it a better place for all Americans, not just the rich white racists.

Candace Owens, speaking her usual self-loathing gibberish and transphobic nonsense:

“We are in a matriarchy. And this is why they accuse me of being an internalized misogynist because I’m able to think through and acknowledge the flaws of what happens in society when women get power. And if you wanna know what happens, look around you. Women fall for emotional arguments the entire time. They show us a commercial, it’s so sad, and before they get to the rational aspects of it, they’re already invested emotionally. And I think that virtually every societal ill that we are facing today is because of women. And I think the greatest recent example of that is the Bud Light controversy, because, I mean, trans people were just playing dress up as women, invaded every woman’s space, and women said, oh, but I feel bad. Because it’s how he identifies at the inside, without thinking through the fact that you’re quite literally disappearing yourselves. Right? You’re quite literally saying, I will cease existing before I let this grown man who’s wearing a wig have a bad feeling. That’s insane.”

We’re in a matriarchy? Has she seen Congress? Has she seen the white male faces in power?

And yet she claims to be the only woman who does see it because she is so smart, but then doesn’t that make her the root of all the evil in the world? A smart woman? Make it make sense. Are women in power or are women so meek and mild and confused by a transwoman that they will choose to become invisible.

Well, except for the self-proclaimed all-knowing Candy Ass.

I Didn't Say It

Lewis Hamilton, seven-time Formula One champion, blasting the anti-LGBTQ+ measures enacted by Florida lawmakers and ripped the state’s controversial “Don’t Say Gay” law with a reference to oppression seen in Saudi Arabia:

“It’s not good at all. I stand by those within the community here. I hope they continue to stand firm and push back. I’ll have the rainbow on my helmet. It’s no different to when we were in Saudi.”

Hamilton, F1’s only Black driver, regularly uses his platform to speak on issues of social justice and race, human rights and protection of the LBGTQ community and will wear the Pride emblem on his helmet during upcoming races.

Candace Owens, conservative loon, on drag queens:

“Let’s say we do get dragged into World War III, or if you’re wondering where it is that our military stands. Well, the US Navy has platformed a drag queen influencer—I wish I was kidding. I’m not—to attract the youth because right now the military is facing a hiring crisis. That makes sense to me, obviously—you are encouraging men to act like women, and I don’t think that those men are necessarily going to want to sign up to fight overseas wars. But yes, this is a real headline. There is a drag queen influencer that is trying to engage Gen Z—sign up for the military because I’m a drag queen or something. Here he, who dresses up like a she, is in his own words. You know what my first reaction was? I could probably beat that guy up. I just—I feel like I could beat that guy up. I feel like if you had to put money on a fight between me and that guy that you just saw, you probably would put your money on me. And that should make you very upset because this guy is now recruiting people. Not only is he in the military, he’s recruiting other people to be in the military. And that doesn’t make me feel secure about the direction of the United States military.”

Oh Candy, you dumb bitch.

Apparently you don’t know LGBTQ+ history or you might have known that it was trans women and drag queens who started the march for equality for our community because they refused to back down any longer. But go ahead, do you, and think that because it might be what your bigoted narrow little mind calls a man in a dress that somehow makes him an easy target for dumb bitches …

Girl, bye.

Marsha Blackburn, Tennessee’s follically challenged GOP Senator, on her “SAFE ACT” bill that would grant $900 million for schools to “harden security”:

“To have this grant pool and to allow local school systems and local law enforcement to work together to bring in veterans and retired law enforcement to serve as a security officer at a school—they know how to use weapons. They know how to deescalate situations. I’ve talked to a lot of them. They like this idea. They are grandparents like we are—my husband and I are grandparents—and they want to be there to help protect children.”

I’m sorry? She wants to spend $900M to have Meemaw and Peepaw park their walkers in the hallway and carry guns??

Marsha Marsha Marsha, you ignorant fool.

Mitt Romney, on what he wished the verdict against Thing 45 would mean:

“I hope the jury of the American people reach the same conclusion about [Thing 45]. He just is not suited to be president of the United States and to be the person who we hold up to our children and the world as the leader of the free world. At some point when the people who work with you, your cabinet secretaries, and juries conclude that you’ve done something severely wrong, it’s time for us to recognize that the great majority of those who’ve worked with him are right and he’s wrong.”

Sadly, most of the GOP and many Republican voters think a sexual abuser is a good look for president.

photo

Mike Pompeo, former Secretary of State, has dropped out of the 2024 presidential race:

“We’re not going to join the race in 2024. We came to the conclusion that this wasn’t the moment for us.”

He could’a saved himself time and money and embarrassment if he’d just asked me because I always knew he would never be president of anything other than a homeowner’s association.

photo

Dan Andrews, premier of Victoria, Australia, on people who think like the Florida GOP having no place Down Under:

“This Americanization of our politics has no place here. My message to those people is, very clearly: if you want to behave like the worst elements of the Floridian Republican Party, get to Florida. Head over there, where your hateful views might be worth something. They are worth nothing here. We will not stand for this sort of ugly behavior. It is appalling, and I again make the point: it is not about free speech. This is hate speech plain and simple. It’s wrong. It is out of step with the values of fair-minded, decent mainstream Victorians. It is on the fringe. But enough about those people. Let us send the clearest message that equality is not negotiable. And despite the carrying-on and the shameful behavior of a small few, this government and this community remain committed to every single Victorian no matter who they are or who they love.”

Andrews was responding after a local library canceled its Drag Queen Story Time due to threats of violence against “families, the performer, councilors and staff” from people who think like Sunshine State Republicans.

I Didn't Say It

Chris Evans, actor and hunk and LGBTQ+ ally, who voices the main character in Pixar’s animated movie Lightyear, on people reacting negatively to a gay couple in the film:

“The real truth is those people are idiots. Every time there’s been social advancement as we wake up, the American story, the human story is one of constant social awakening and growth and that’s what makes us good. It’s incredible, and a real hats off to Disney and Pixar for having that kiss be a part of this story. The kiss is a greeting and a gesture of love that is tender. It does establish who they are as people, but it is not the singular identifier for who either of them are. Seeing a loving gay couple in a meaningful way is important for everybody. There’s always going to be people who are afraid and unaware and trying to hold on to what was before, but those people die off like dinosaurs. I think the goal is to pay them no mind, march forward and embrace the growth that makes us human.”

While I agree in part about ignoring them and moving on as they, hopefully, die off, some of these bigots are in office and seeing things like a simple same-sex kiss as grooming of children and then use that as a weapon against the whole community.

We need to speak up, loudly, and we need to have our allies speak up even louder.

Case in point: Lightyear was banned in the United Arab Emirates because it depicts homosexuality, and Disney has been unable to secure permission to show it in 13 other Middle Eastern and Asian countries, including Saudi Arabia.

Ron DeSantis, Florida’s fascist GOP governor, and now apparent dumbest man on Earth, responding to Elon Musk’s Tweet that he was leaning toward supporting DeSantis for president in 2024:

“I’m focused on 2022, but with Elon Musk, what I would say is, I welcome support from African Americans, what can I say?”

Musk is white and from Pretoria, South Africa.

DeSantis is white and a dumbfuck from Florida.

Candace Owens, conservative wingnut, on Pride:

“I have been covering the wonderful month of Pride, for which I feel no pride for at all. I think it should be called shame month. It’s absolute debauchery. You’re seeing right now that adults are getting behind this narrative so they can have a woke t-shirt on and say, ‘I love my children. I allowed my child to pick their gender and pick their species.’ And they feel proud of themselves because they can go and they can say this on Facebook that they are wonderful, accepting, and loving adults. When, in reality, they are underqualified to have children. They should have their children taken away from them because it’s child abuse.”

Yes, Candace believes people can choose their gender or even choose their species, but the only thing Candace Owens chose was to be an ignorant, hate-filled, delusional, homophobic bigot.

Dave Rubin, homocon podcaster, on the backlash he received after announcing that he and his husband are expecting two children via surrogate later this year:

“There’s a lot of mean people and trolls and clickbait people and all of that stuff. 99% of what I got, especially from the public people that I’m associated with. So are there gonna be some traditional religious conservatives that are not happy with same-sex marriage and same-sex couples having kids? Of course, there are, I believe in religious liberty. And, as long as your beliefs don’t impede on my life and my ability to have a family and all of that stuff, then I still think we can live in the same country. And I would hope that they can too. You’re allowed to believe what you want.”

Does anyone else find it odd that Dave Rubin is the same guy who recently said that Karine Jean-Pierre got her job as White Press Secretary because she’s a “Black lesbo” is whining that people are saying mean things about he and his husband having kids.

Look in the mirror, Dave, the hateful things are in you, too.

photo

Dwyane Wade, on why he fights for his trans daughter Zaya:

“Just being a father and seeing our child grow up every day, and doing what you are supposed to do as a parent [which is] is to make sure that you sit back and see what it is in life that they want to do and try to go there with them, and try to help them … and believe them when they tell us who they are. The moment when you were in the hospital and you grabbed your daughter and you looked at your daughter, all the emotions that went through your mind and how much love filled your heart at that moment. Don’t let that ever leave you—no matter what. The one thing we do as parents is: We find our mini-mes and we try to make them just like us, but our kids are going to be who they are.”

Believe your children, your friends, your co-workers, your family,  when they tell you who they are.

It really is that simple.
