Ain't That America XII

Here we go again … the GOP doing everything from lying and cheating to hating and acting foolish … to a good step for LGBTQ+ Americans ... to one of Krist's Koncentration Kamps closing ... to losing in court and forcing Miss Lindsey to her fainting couch … so let’s dish …

Last week, in the middle of the night like rats and cockroaches, GOP Governor Ron Gogo Boots DeSantis ordered the removal of a rainbow-colored crosswalk outside the Pulse nightclub where 49 people were gunned down.

DeSantis said he “will not allow our state roads to be commandeered for political purposes.”

The murder of Americans is not a political issue, but DeSantis turns hate into politics.

On the upside, the very next day citizens took to the streets and repainted the crosswalk in an act of Resistance.

The US Gulf Coast is facing billions of dollars in yearly property damage by 2050 due to extreme weather tied to climate change which nary a single Republican believes in.

That’s all.

The Felon’s Justice Department is demanding that hospitals turn over a wide range of sensitive information related to medical care for young transgender patients, including billing documents, communication with drug manufacturers and data such as patient dates of birth, Social Security numbers and addresses.

It's an attack on privacy, individual rights, and trans Americans; it’s hate.

The Felon has called war criminal Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a “war hero” and announced that he is also a war hero for sending US bombers to hit Iran’s nuclear sites.

Draft Dodger and a Murderer … birds of a feather.

The Felon is saying the people of Washington DC are thrilled to have armed troops patrolling their streets but the numbers tell a different story.

It was reported that business at DC’s restaurants, bars, and nightclubs has plummeted since the federal takeover of DC police.

Trust a liar or trust the people.

In a 2016 court filing, Marco Rubio, then a senator running for president, made the case that the Constitution conferred citizenship on essentially all children born in the United States.

Now, under this regime he sings an entirely different tune as he now seeks to restrict birthright citizenship.

Flip flop hypocrite.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development [HUD] is moving to make English the sole language used for all agency business, a move that is in line with The Felon’s executive order to make English the official language of the United States.

Funny then, that The Felon can’t speak English and let’s not get started with his Slovenian Hooker Wife.

Judge Kathleen Williams of the Federal District Court in Miami has ordered that no more immigrant detainees be sent to Kristi’s Koncentration Kamp in the Florida Everglades, and that much of the facility be dismantled. 

Williams gave both branches of the government 60 days to move out existing detainees and begin to remove fencing, lighting, power generators and other materials. The order also prohibits any new construction at the site.

US District Judge Fred Biery has ruled that Texas cannot require public schools to display the Ten Commandments in every classroom; it’s a temporary ruling against the state’s new requirement but it’s the third such state law to be blocked by a court.

Brian Cornell, the CEO of Target, is stepping down as the department store chain seeks to turn around its fortunes amid an ongoing customer boycott over its scaling back of diversity, equity and inclusion [DEI] initiatives.

Target said people were scaling back spending over worries about the impact of tariffs and the state of the economy but also admitted that customer boycotts affected sales.

Boycotts work, y’all, keep resisting.

A dedication ceremony for a longtime public servant in New York’s North Country was interrupted by protesters on Monday. The event to rename the Clinton County Government Center as the John Zurlo Government Center was overtaken by a large crowd that quickly shifted to the protest against GOP Congresswoman Elise Stefanik; protesters zeroed in on Stefanik’s stance on the war in Gaza, barely letting her speak and forcing her to cut her speech early.

Stefanik eventually returned and shrieked over the protesters.

Fox News host Howard Kurtz has delivered a brutal assessment of The Felon’s meeting with Russian Dictator Vladimir Putin saying “it was clear not much was accomplished”:

“No ceasefire, no details, no questions from the press, just vague assurances that some progress was made without explaining what that was.”

Kurtz noted that the meeting, which did not include Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, had been preceded by a White House effort to dramatically lower expectations as it became clear in the days before the summit that The Felon is inept in every sense of the word.

The cult is demanding that Fox fire Kurtz. Because of course.

The Republican Party of Florida was pushing a new line of merchandise including baseball caps, T-shirts, mugs and insulating drink sleeves with “THE DEPORT DEPOT” in blocky stencil font diagonally across a bright orange square.

But the Home Depot stepped up and expressed concern about the unapproved use of its branding and suddenly the items were scrubbed from the Florida GOP’s digital storefront.

The GOP puts the Duh in Flori-duh.

The Felon has a new target, Democrat Senator Chris Murphy from Connecticut and as usual his issues is with appearance:

“The very unattractive (both inside and out!) Senator from Connecticut, Chris Murphy, said ‘Putin got everything that he wanted.’ Actually, ‘nobody got anything,’ too soon, but getting close. Murphy is a lightweight who thinks it made the Russian President look good in coming to America. Actually, it was very hard for President Putin to do so. This war can be ended, NOW, but stupid people like Chris Murphy, John Bolton, and others, make it much harder to do so.”

There’s a side-by-side of The Felon and Murphy; who’s the ugly one? Inside and out?

Hours after Texas GOP lawmakers approved a new gerrymandered congressional map a group of Texans asked a court to block it.

The plaintiffs, a group of Black and Latino Texans, filed an amended complaint in an ongoing challenge to the electoral districts Texas drew in 2021. The amended complaint alleges that the new map violates Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act and the 14th Amendment by diluting the voting power of Black and Latino communities.

Clearly the Texas GOP doesn’t want Black and Brown people to be represented in their state.

Illinois Democrat Governor JB Pritzker announced that his state is launching a “first of its kind” resource guide and hotline to support LGBTQ+ residents called Illinois Pride Connect that will serve English and Spanish speakers, according to the program’s site.

Callers can get advice on access to health care, identifying documents, housing, safety concerns and government benefits, such as Medicaid and SNAP.

As always, Democrats help, Republicans hurt.

South Carolina GOP Representative, Liar and Transphobic Loon, Nancy Mace—who is currently running as a South Carolina gubernatorial candidate—was forced to cancel a speech for the local chapter of the far-right organization Moms for Liberty last week.

Not because she was booed offstage but because only eight people showed up.

Mace reportedly slunk away backstage to avoid addressing the situation directly, before pivoting to speaking with those in attendance individually, which didn’t take long because there were only eight of them.

Speaking at the White House recently The Felon told reporters he was going to stop mail-in ballots because it’s corrupt.” He then claimed that he went to vote in person—though in the last several elections he has voted mail-in, he was asked to show his “license plate.”

Maybe one day, someday, he’ll be working a job making license plates and be only too happy to show them.

Right after The Felon was publicly spanked by Dictator Vladimir Putin in Alaska, South Carolina GOP Senator Lindsey Graham announced that the next phase of American diplomacy over the war in Ukraine needs to target Moscow’s pocketbook.

Graham has personally threatened to discontinue his use of Russian male prostitutes to help crush the Russian economy and that alone could cripple a nation.

And now, just a reminder …
