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.
