Ain't That America XXVIII

Let’s once again start with some good news, good votes, standing against the regime, and speaking up before discussing the Grieving Grifter and Melanie’s panties …

In a special election for Kentucky State Senate District 37, Democrat Gary Clemons won the election with 72.5% of the vote.

This is the Resistance at work.

After a closed-door deposition with the House Judiciary Committee last week, attorneys for Jack Smith, the former special counsel who led the criminal cases against Cankles, demanded their client to be allowed to testify in an open forum:

“[We] reiterate our request for an open and public hearing. During the investigation of [Cankles], Mr. Smith steadfastly followed Justice Department policies, observed all legal requirements, and took actions based on the facts and the law. He stands by his decisions.”

The GOP is scared that Smith will speak in public and reveal the facts of this case and proof Cankles guilty of criminal activity.

Ohio Democrat Representative Joyce Beatty is calling out faux-christian KKKarolying Leavitt for not telling the truth about the “unanimous vote” to add Cankles’ name to the Kennedy Center; Leavitt lied:

“I have just been informed that the highly respected Board of the Kennedy Center, some of the most successful people from all parts of the world, have just voted unanimously to rename the Kennedy Center to the [Cankles]-Kennedy Center.”

Surprise, but this was not the case at all, and Joyce Beatty, who serves as an ex officio member of the Kennedy Center, shared a very different version:

“I'm Congresswoman Joyce Beatty … I was on that call. And as I tried to push my button to voice my concern, to ask questions, and certainly not to vote in support of this, I was muted. Each time I tried to speak, I was muted. Participants were not allowed to voice their concerns who were online. Yet it was said at the end, it was a unanimous vote.”

This is completely unsurprising, as the regime lies about literally everything.

A Siena College poll shows that New York Governor Kathy Hochul has a 19-point lead over her Republican challenger, New York GOP Representative Elise Stefanik, in a hypothetical 2026 general election matchup.

And so Stefanik, who garnered zero support from Cankles has quit the race before it really began and has announced she will also resign from Congress.

This is one goose-stepper who was kicked to the curb by her own regime.

The Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled that former Superintendent, and cultist, Ryan Walters and the Oklahoma State Board of Education [OSBE] violated the Open Meeting Act by approving new K-12 social studies standards promoting Christianity to public school students by making changes to standards without notifying the public or providing notice to the other OSBE members.

The court declared the standards invalid according to Americans United and reinstated the prior version of the standards enacted in 2019.

Wyoming GOP Senator Cynthia Lummis has announced that she will not seek re-election to the Senate in 2026:

“It’s an incredible honor to represent Wyoming in the U.S. Senate, and throughout my time here, Wyoming has been my one-and-only priority … Deciding not to run for re-election does represent a change of heart for me, but in the difficult, exhausting session weeks this fall I’ve come to accept that I do not have six more years in me. I am a devout legislator, but I feel like a sprinter in a marathon. The energy required doesn’t match up.”

If anyone thinks this isn't Lummis getting out now and then running for office once Cankles is gone so she can play the "I did nothing wrong" card is a special kind of stupid.

A Cynthia Lummis kind of stupid.

Senate leaders gave up on trying to pass a government funding package before adjourning for the holidays, punting the issue to the new year—when lawmakers will have just a few weeks left to avoid another government shutdown.

Senators tried to make an eleventh-hour attempt to find a path forward on bringing up a bundle of five bills but Democratic Senators Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper of Colorado announced they would hold up the package after White House budget director Russ Vought’s decision to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research.

It has been reported that the dismantling of the climate center is retribution from the regime for Colorado Democrat Governor Jared Polis refusing to allow a pardon of QAnon nutbag Tina Peters from state prison.

Resisting extortion!

Minnesota Democrat Representative Ilhan Omar, one of the first Muslim women in Congress, wants GOP Representative Randy Fine expelled for Islamophobic remarks. The Minnesota Democrat’s campaign sent out an email blast citing comments Fine made in a House committee hearing stating about “mainstream Muslims” specifically:’

“I don’t know how you make peace with those who seek your destruction, I think you destroy them first.”

Fine proudly shared the clip of his Hate Speech online.

Fine also called for denaturalizing and expelling all Muslims living in the United States.

At the end of CBS’ heavily promoted Saturday night town hall with Erika “Grieving Grifter” Kirk, CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss promised viewers that there would be “many more conversations like this in the weeks and months ahead” on the network.

Trouble is, no one was watching ; according to early numbers from Nielsen’s Big Data + Panel measurement, the one-hour CBS News town hall drew 1.548 million total viewers and 237,000 in the coveted advertising demographic of viewers aged 25 to 54.

The Erika Kirk sit-down declined 11% in total viewership compared to the network’s normal programming of reruns and was down 41% percent in that key demographic.

And like Cankles, CBS is rewriting history saying the town hall was actually up compared to the network’s programming in recent weeks.

Uh huh.

In September, Cankles’ assistant Margo Martin shared a video of a hallway filled with the portraits of former presidents and calling it the "The Presidential Walk of Fame.” The video she shared panned over multiple portraits of former presidents before lingering on an image of Biden's autopen signature.

Cankles has long lied that Biden’s pardons were signed using an autopen, citing a report which has been used by rightwingnut and mainstream media morons to fuel claims about Biden’s cognitive decline.

The Biden plaque that refers to him as "the worst President in American History" who took office "as a result of the most corrupt Election ever seen in the United States."

A plaque installed under the portrait of former President Barack Obama refers to him as “one of the most divisive political figures in American history." It, among other things, criticizes the Affordable Care Act as "ineffective" and derides other policies that would be "later terminated by [a narcissistic, racist fuckmonkey called [Cankles].”

It’s really a Walk of Shame of a President who cannot get anything done other than bitch and moan and kvetch about being a loser.

I want to plaque dedicated to Cankles:

I like it.

Erika “Grieving Grifter” Kirk says Turning Point USA, the hate group her husband founded, would work to elect JD Vance president in 2028 as infighting over the future of the GOP took center stage:

“We are going to get my husband’s friend JD Vance elected [in 2028].”

I’m not sure, I wasn’t there, but I wonder if she mentioned that she would then become First Lady once she orders CouchFucker to dump Usha. And, if so, does she know she'd be playing second fiddle to a sofa?

The Justice Department released thousands of new records on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein last week but at least 550 pages in the documents are fully redacted because nothing says transparency like blacked out text and nothing says Cankles isn’t a child raping pervert like making sure any mention of his name is not seen.

I need Pammy Jo Bondi to be arrested for crimes against America and aiding and abetting a rapist.

PS Democrat Congressman Ro Khanna and GOP Representative Thomas Massie say they are committed to holding Justice Department officials, especially Pammy Jo Bondi, accountable for their failure to release all eligible Epstein files by Friday’s deadline.

Good.

At a rally in North Carolina over the weekend to talk about affordability—gas is down to just 30-cents in some areas, and eggs are free, and healthcare is … well, eggs are fee—Cankles got wrapped up in one of his Doddering Demented DonOLD rants about Melanie’s panties and the FBI raid on Mar-Illegal:

"They went into my wife's closet ... they looked at her drawers … Her undergarments, sometimes referred to as panties, are folded perfect, wrapped. They're, like, so perfect. I think that she steams them."

With the American people facing double and triple costs for healthcare in the New Year, with a rapist in the White House threatening war with Venezuela, his main concern were that his wife’s panties … which he has been in since Melanie said “I do” were touched and not by him.

Seriously.

What can we do? Oh, I know …. 

I Didn't Say It ...

Billy & Janice Crystal, Albert & Kimberly Brooks, Martin Short, Alan & Robin Zweibel, Larry David & Ashley Underwood, Marc Shaiman & Lou Mirabal, Barry & Diana Levinson, James Costos & Michael Smith, on the loss of Rob and Michele Reiner:

“Going to the movies in a dark theater filled with strangers having a common experience, laughing, crying, screaming in fear, or watching an intense drama unfold is still an unforgettable thrill. Tell us a story audiences demand of us. Absorbing all he had learned from his father Carl and his mentor Norman Lear, Rob Reiner not only was a great comic actor, he became a master storyteller. There is no other director who has his range. From comedy to drama to ‘mockumentary’ to documentary he was always at the top of his game. He charmed audiences. They trusted him. They lined up to see his films. His comedic touch was beyond compare, his love of getting the music of the dialogue just right, and his sharpening of the edge of a drama was simply elegant. For the actors, he loved them. For the writers he made them better. His greatest gift was freedom. If you had an idea, he listened, he brought you into the process. They always felt they were working as a team. To be in his hands as a film maker was a privilege but that is only part of his legacy. Rob was also a passionate, brave citizen, who not only cared for this country he loved, he did everything he could to make it better and with his loving wife Michele, he had the perfect partner. Strong and determined, Michele and Rob Reiner devoted a great deal of their lives for the betterment of our fellow citizens... They were a special force together—dynamic, unselfish and inspiring. We were their friends, and we will miss them forever. There is a line from one of Rob’s favorite films, ‘It’s a Wonderful Life,’ ‘Each man’s life touches so many other lives, and when he isn’t around, he leaves an awful hole, doesn’t he?’ You have no idea.”

I don’t know why these deaths hit me so hard; I know neither one of these people. But I think they fought a good fight for all of us, stood up to the worst of us, to try to make the world better for us.

And perhaps we should all be doing more of that.

Zohran Mamdani, Mayor of New York Cityin response to the shooting at Brown University:

“Two people were killed this evening at Brown University by a gunman who remains at large. Eight others are injured, fighting for their lives in a nearby hospital. This senseless violence—once considered unfathomable—has become nauseatingly normal to all of us across our nation. Tonight, on the eve of the anniversary of the Sandy Hook shooting, we find ourselves in mourning once again. The epidemic of gun violence stretches across America. We reckon with it when we step into our houses of worship and out onto our streets, when we drop our children off at kindergarten and when we fear if those children, now grown, will be safe on campus. But unlike so many other epidemics, we possess the cure. We have the power to eradicate this suffering from our lives if we so choose. I send my deepest condolences to the families of the victims, and to the Brown and Providence communities, who are wrestling with a grief that will feel familiar to far too many others. May we never allow ourselves to grow numb to this pain, and let us rededicate ourselves to the enduring work of ending the scourge of gun violence in our nation.”

Perhaps we should be like Australia, where their mass shooting was not done with assault weapons for if it had been many more would be dead or injured.

Let’s end the United States of Guns and start with assault weapons and vote out any politician who utters that bull shit line, “Now is not the time.”

Jack Smith, attorney who has served in the United States Department of Justice, in his opening statement before the House Judiciary Committee, during a private deposition:

“Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that [Cankles] engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and to prevent the lawful transfer of power. I made my decisions in the investigation without regard to [Cankles] political association, activities, beliefs or candidacy in the 2024 presidential election. We took actions based on that the facts and the law required—the very lesson I learned early in my career as a prosecutor.”

Okay, so then let’s vote out the GOP and let the Democrats get back to the business of punishing a traitorous criminal for what he tried to do, and is doing now, to this country.

Jimmy Kimmel, talk show host and friend of Rob & Michele Reiner:

“I know from my personal interactions with Rob Reiner that he would want us to keep pointing out the loathsome atrocities that continue to ooze out of this sick and irresponsible man’s mouth. So we’re going to do that over and over again until the rest of us wake up.”

Be like Rob and Michele and stand up for America before there is no America left to stand for.

Jon Stewart, comedian, writer, producer, director, actor, political commentator and host of The Daily Show, on Cankles’ real constituents:

“For those of you who were wondering, during this delightful first year of his presidency, who the ‘you’ was that he was going to work so tirelessly for it turns out he is for you, if you are a personal friend, if you donated a lot of money, or if you enriched his meme coin businesses, or you enriched his son’s crypto coin businesses, or of you beat up police officers on his behalf, or if you bought him a plane, or if you probably promised not to reveal anything incriminating about him. Those are the yous it turns out he was for. And if you’re one of those yous, life’s pretty sweet. But for the rest of us, we’re on the outside. And I can only guess what the view is that we’re going to enjoy.”

He isn’t for you, at all. And neither is the GOP.

Vote them all out.

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.
