I Didn't Say It ...

Elena Kagan, US Supreme Court Justice on the ruling regarding the Voting Rights Act:

“The Voting Rights Act … was born of the literal blood of Union soldiers and civil rights marchers. In ushered in awe-inspiring change, bringing this Nation closer to fulfilling the ideals of democracy and racial equality. And it has been repeatedly, and overwhelmingly, reauthorized by the people’s representatives in Congress … I dissent, then, from this latest chapter in the majority’s now completed demolition of the Voting Rights Act.”

How simple is this: make voting easier and fair for all Americans regardless of color or gender or age or sexual orientation.

Voting by anyone eligible to vote should be the easiest fucking thing to do.

Rick Wilson, political strategist, pundit and author, on Cankles’ newest push for the ballroom:

“As America’s economy teeters on the brink due to [his] insane tariffs, calamitous war with Iran, and his deeply incompetent Administration, I think I speak for the majority of Americans when I say FUCK YOUR BALLROOM.”

Seriously,  this is akin to Marie Antoinette and her “let them eat cake” remark. Americans can’t afford food or gas or healthcare or energy bills and this regime wants to build a $300 million ballroom because a diaper-wearing, racist, rapist, predator, con artist has a fragile ego?

Fuck that.

Don Lemon, journalist best known for being a host on CNN, on the right pushing the idea that dangerous political rhetoric is coming from the left:

“I cannot say with a straight face that Democrats saying [Cankles] is terrible for this country is the same thing as [Cankles] standing in front of a crowd on January 6th and telling them to march to the capitol and fight like hell. I cannot say those things are equivalent because they are not. I am so sick of false equivalence. It drives me fucking crazy because that is bullshit. Because these things are not equivalent.”

No one on the left has celebrated the death of other politicians or celebrities; no one on the left has mocked the disabled in front of a crowd; no one on the left has called for destroying an entire civilization.

All we are saying is, ahem, FUCK TRUMP.:

Jimmy Kimmel, responding to Melanie and Cankles ‘ calling for him to  be fired … again:

“It was five days ago. It was a pretend roast. I said, ‘Our First Lady, [Melanie’s] here. Look at her, so beautiful. [Melanie] you have a glow like an expectant widow’—which was obviously a joke about their age difference and the look of joy we see on her face every time they’re together. It was a very light roast joke about that fact that he’s almost 80 and she’s younger than I am [Melanie is 56]. It was not, by any stretch of the definition, a call to assassination. And they know that.”

Melanie is still riding the wave of bad reviews from her “documentary” and bad reviews from her incredibly awkward White House press conference on Epstein and now her idiotic tone-deaf reaction to a joke from BEFORE Correspondent’s Dinner.

Take a seat Melanie; why not put your architecture degree … hold for laughter … to good use and design and build a changing station for Cankles’ “accidents; that’s needed more than any ballroom.

Melanie Stansbury, Democrat Representative for New Mexico, on the irony of King Charles reminding us of democracy:

“Imagine getting in a time machine and going back to 1776 and telling the Founding Fathers that the King would be one day reminding America about the importance of democracy and our checks and balances. That is the timeline we’re living in.”

The King has to remind a US president what America was founded on and stands for because the president is a drug addled narcissist.

I Didn't Say It ...

Barack Obama, my President, speaking at Reverend Jesse Jackson’s funeral last week:

“We are living in a time when it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback is the idea of the rule of law. An offense to common decency. Every day you wake up to things you just didn’t think were possible. Each day we’re told by those in high office to fear each other, and to turn on each other. And that some Americans count more than others, and that some don’t even count at all! Everywhere we see greed and bigotry being celebrated and bullying and mockery masquerading as strength! We see science and expertise denigrated, while ignorance and dishonesty, and cruelty, and corruption ,are reaping untold rewards! every single day we see that and it’s hard to hope In those moments. So it may be tempting to give to get discouraged, to give in to cynicism. It may be tempting for some to compromise with power, and grab what you can, or even for good people to maybe just put your head down and wait for the storm to pass. But this man, Reverend Jesse Louis Jackson, inspires us to take a harder path. His voice calls on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope, to step forward and say, ‘Send me!’ wherever we have a chance to make an impact, whether it’s in our school, or our workplaces, or our neighborhoods, or our cities. Not for fame, not for glory, or because success is guaranteed, but because it gives our life purpose. Because it aligns with what our faith tells us God demands. And because if we don’t step up, no one else will. How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him. May God bless Reverend Jackson. May he rest in eternal peace. God bless you.”

This is how a president marks the passing of a Civil Rights legend.

Sadly, our current regime failed to even acknowledge the man’s passing, didn’t lower a single flag to half-mast, though they afforded that honor to racist Charlie Kirk.

I cannot help to think it’s because Jackson was a Black man, plain and simple, and our current president is a racist.

Ruben Gallego, Democrat Senator from Arizona, on funding Cankles’ illegal War of Distraction:

“Americans are being told we can’t afford lower drug prices, affordable childcare, or relief at the grocery story, but somehow we can afford a pointless way that costs $1 BILLION every single day. What the fuck happened to America  first?”

A war where schoolchildren are killed by American bombs. Is that America first? While people cannot afford food, or gas, or their energy bills, or their healthcare, but we can afford billions to bomb children?

Melanie Stansbury, New Mexico Democrat Representative, calling for DUI hire Pete Hegseth’s removal from office for his incompetence, cruelty, and illegal actions:

“I wanna just address the elephant in the room. And that is that it is time for Pete Hegseth to go. Now, whether the Secretary of Defense resigns of his own accord or whether he is removed, it is way overdue … because we have seen over the last year, nothing but death, destruction … and the unauthorized, illegal, and reckless use of the United States military to wage unauthorized wars, civilian deaths, and the dismantling of the agency that is meant to safeguard American national security …. So let's lay out the case. Today, it was confirmed by NPR that the US Department of Defense is not investigating if a US Tomahawk led to the death of 165 school children and teachers in Iran, but why? That means that the agency that is intended to secure national security used American munitions to murder 165 children and did not have appropriate safeguards in place to prevent that from happening. Now, how did this happen? What we know is that Pete Hegseth was personally responsible for downscaling the office that is intended to prevent civilian casualties. And so because they were operating with a skeleton crew for whatever reason, the fact that that target was incorrect was never flagged inside the system. And so a US bomb was allowed to be used to kill school children. Now, in addition to that, seven American service members have now died in this war. And it is reported that up to 150 American soldiers have now been injured. And this is a war of choice, a war that has not been authorized by Congress, a war that the president and the secretary of defense cannot even explain to the American people, a war that they do not seem to have an exit strategy for …. In addition to that, Secretary Hegseth has gutted the fundamental legal checks inside of Department of Defense that are designed to make sure that the U.S. military is following the rule of law, not just domestically, but internationally. We know that they have now engaged in three separate military actions that have not been authorized by Congress, including strikes in the Caribbean that have led to the death of over a hundred civilians. [We know that] secretary, Hegseth, misappropriated $93 billion, not million, but billion dollars just a couple of months ago on lobster and king crab and cable TV and furniture for the Department of Defense. These are your taxpayer dollars that he went on an absolute blowout, spending spree at the Department of Defense. While these folks at the administration are telling you that they don't have enough money for American healthcare and food assistance and housing for the American people … Pete Hegseth has $93 billion to waste on furniture and crab and lobster … This is absolutely disgustingly unacceptable. They have issued purges … some of the most distinguished members of our military have been asked to leave their posts. They have erased the history of our proud service members who have served this country generation after generation. And they have misappropriated American taxpayer dollars to fight wars that they told you they would not fight. And so it is time for Pete Hegseth to be gone. It is time for him to go. So whether he resigns or whether it requires congressional action, it is time for Pete Hegseth to go.”

She is absolutely right. Get this insecure alcoholic Christian extremist man-child out of office before more innocent civilians die in illegal wars.

Irene Maria Montero Gil, Spain’s Member of the European Parliament, with a suggestion for Cankles:

“Send your son, [Cankles]. If you want war, send your own people to the front line. We in Spain want our children, our daughters and our loved ones at home, safe. We don’t want war. Those who want war should send their own children.”

Barron, anyone?

Pete Buttigieg, Afghanistan War veteran, former Secretary of Transportation and future President of the United States, takes on Cankles and his “war of choice" against Iran:

“This nation learned the hard way that an unnecessary war, with no plan for what comes next, can lead to years of chaos and put America in still great danger. When you get ready to deploy, you of course are constantly thinking about the worst-case scenario, and the scenario that you pray hard is never going to happen is that your loved ones get the knock on the door. That has now happened to six families that we know of. And the people who serve [are] patriots, they’re ready to go wherever their chain of command tells them they are needed. In exchange for them making that promise, putting their lives on the line, they are supposed to be assured that their commander in chief would never put their lives on the line unless it was absolutely necessary. Unless there was no alternative. Billions of taxpayer dollars are now flowing to the Middle East instead of going toward pressing needs at home. Prices will rise. The debt will grow. The economy will become even less stable, and Washington will be even less capable of facing urgent needs at home.”

Enough is enough. Listen to those who have actually served; read your history books about Vietnam. End the war.

And to be clear, it is a war, a war for oil, and a war for distraction from the fact that the current president is a pedophile.

Ain't That America III

Well, what a week or so it's been in America; another shooting by another MAGAt; Karoline Leavitt proves she’s no Christian; RFK Jr shows us he still doesn’t have a clue; the new regime lies to fired employees and ends their healthcare; ICE arrested another citizen; Nancy Mace once again shows her true hate-filled, lying, victim colors; but the resistance shows up in Cory Booker, Massachusetts representatives, Harvard resists, the Wall Street Journal of all places stands against The Felon, a trio of Democrat governors, along with another protest against fascism.

In case you’re keeping score the Florida State University shooter has been identified and is …

—Not a Drag Queen

—Not Transgender

—Not an Immigrant

—Not Woke

—Not DEI

But just a white, homegrown MAGAt cult member and Felon supporter.

If you still need any proof that this White House is a viper’s nest of faux-christian hate and nastiness just read what Spokesperson, Karoline Leavitt, AKA BullShit Barbie 2.0 said about Kilmar Abrego Garcia:

“Nothing will change the fact that Garcia will never be a Maryland father… The Supreme Court ruled unanimously that the p[resident of the United States and secretary of state cannot be compelled to forcibly retrieve this citizen of El Salvador.” 

Here's a fact for this lying POS: The United States Supreme Court issued a unanimous ruling ordering The Felon’s Regime to facilitate the return of Garci and they are refusing to comply.

As Felon’s and the Goose-steppers who support are apt to do.

Health Secretary and heroin addict Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s purge of tens of thousands of federal workers has halted efforts to collect data on everything from cancer rates in firefighters to mother-to-baby transmission of HIV and syphilis to outbreaks of drug-resistant gonorrhea to cases of carbon monoxide poisoning putting efforts to solve those problems in jeopardy.

But, hey, is it’s just poor people who can’t afford health care dying, then it’s okay with The Felon’s Regime.

Probationary workers who were re-fired this month from the Commerce Department say their health insurance is being terminated earlier than they expected.

The workers were told their health insurance would run into May but received notices this week that the department is backdating their termination to an earlier date, meaning the health insurance ran out last week.

At a time when The Felon is bragging about how investors have made millions, even billions, off recent swings in the stock market, this regime is showing its cruelty and inhumanity to fired NOAA employees.

And if it can happen to them …

In Arizona 19-year-old Jose Hermosillo, who was visiting Tucson from Albuquerque, says he was lost and walking near the Border Patrol headquarters on April 8 when an agent arrested him for illegally entering the country.

Hermosillo was not carrying identification and court documents say a Border Patrol agent arrested Hermosillo “at or near Nogales, Arizona, without proper immigration documents” and that Hermosillo admitted to illegally entering the U.S. Hermosillo says he has never been to Nogales.

Friends and family members made numerous calls looking for him before they found out he was being detained in the Florence Correctional Center, which ICE uses to detain people. Another family member drove to the detention center, about 70 miles northwest of Tucson, but said officials wouldn’t provide any information or release him.

A magistrate judge in Tucson dismissed Hermosillo’s case late last week.

If it can happen to him …

The GOP’s lying Representative from South Carolina, Nancy Mace posted a video on social media blasting the “evil” voters who call her office to complain; I believe these are actually called constituents, AKA the people who elected her to office and those she ALLEGEDLY represents. Hundreds of people have called Mace after she ditched a town hall meeting last month organized by the Lowcountry Accountability Alliance in South Carolina because she said it was unsafe for her to attend.

And then Nancy Mace, who lives for social media clicks, posted a video yesterday by Mace where she repeatedly tells a constituent whom she decides is gay to “fuck off” and “go fuck yourself” because he asked why she isn’t holding any town halls.

At one point she tells him, “by the way, I voted for gay marriage twice.” But you’ll note that in her post she also mocks him for wearing what she calls “daisy dukes.”

This is the GOP; if you ask them a question they tell you to fuck off.

Cory Booker, Democrat Senator from New Jersey, wants Congress to hold hearings and defended Democratic lawmakers’ calls for investigations into any possibility of insider trading after The Felon encouraged people to buy stocks before reversing his tariff policy last week.

Democrats began questioning whether anyone traded improperly after The Felon said on social media that “this is a great time to buy” when stocks were slumping after his idiotic tariff rollout and then, just hours later, announced that most of the steep tariffs would be temporarily reduced, sending the stock market shooting up.

His rich friends and his fellow GOP criminals are getting rich with the rest of the country suffers.

A new legislative push led by Elizabeth Warren and Melanie Stansbury, Massachusetts Democrat Senator and Representative, is seeking to bar Felon advisor Leon Skum from communicating with government agencies that interface with their companies and would require federal employees like Skum to meet new ethics requirements; hell, meet any ethics requirements.

The bill, titled the SGE Ethics Enforcement & Reform Act of 2025, would create what the lawmakers are calling a “bright-line rule” that makes new provisions explicitly applicable to owners of a “large company,” which the bill defines as any for-profit company making over $1 billion.

Harvard University has rejected policy changes requested by The Felon Regime that would have placed “unprecedented” demands on the institution.

The Felon had demanded that Harvard reduce the power of students and faculty members over the university’s affairs; report foreign students who commit conduct violations immediately to federal authorities; and bring in an outside party to ensure that each academic department is “viewpoint diverse,” among other steps. Alan Garber, Harvard’s president, responded:

“No government—regardless of which party is in power—should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue.”

This is the Resistance.

The conservative Wall Street Journal stunned MAGAts with a scathing editorial of their Dear Leader in defense of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell—who The Felon wants to "terminate" for disobedience:

"The problem for [The Felon] is that Mr. Powell spoke the truth. The main lesson from [The Felon] vs. Powell is that the central bank can’t make up for the economic policy errors of politicians."

The Felon’s meltdown was prompted by Powell stating that the "level of the tariff increases announced so far is significantly larger than anticipated." The Fed is tasked with promoting full employment while managing inflation but these tariffs are raising inflation because the import duties are passed on to consumers and companies are laying off workers to make up for lost profits.

The Felon is inept and ill-equipped to run a business much less a country.

In Wisconsin, Democrat Governor Tony Evers has successfully increased school funding in the state for the next four hundred years by crossing out a few numbers on the bill to change it from “2024-2025” to “2425.”

And the state Supreme Court upheld his right to do so.

In Pennsylvania, Democrat Governor Josh Shapiro  is taking legal action against The Felon Regime which had revoked $185 million that was owed to PA schools.

In New Mexico, Democrat Governor Lujan Grisham signed into law new funding to help the state combat the climate crisis, something The Felon Regime and the GOP do not comprehend.

This past weekend, from Wyoming to Washington and Mississippi to Manhattan, protesters at hundreds of rallies in small towns and big cities gathered to The Felon’s sweeping policy moves, the second day of mass action this month as opposition to the administration continued to coalesce.

The more than 700 planned events were part of the “50501” movement, a decentralized campaign that got its name from a Feb. 5 push for “50 protests in 50 states on 1 day.”

That effort led to anti-Trump protests at state capitol buildings across the nation. Hunter Dunn, a spokesperson for 50501, described the group as a “pro-democracy, pro-Constitution, anti-executive-overreach, nonviolent grassroots movement.”

Saturday’s demonstrations — on the 250th anniversary of the start of the American Revolutionary War — came two weeks after the April 5 “Hands Off” rallies, which drew millions across the country in the largest single-day protest of Trump’s second term.

And for this 93-year-old woman it was her first protest …
