Ain't That America XII

Another week and another load of crazy, good and funny … from liars lying for a liar … to childishness … to Border Barbie mess … TACA … erasing history and the LGBTQ+ community … it goes on …

Tennessee GOP Representative, and loon, Tim Burchett says when he’s in DC he sleeps in his office because of the rampant crime.

But just last February Burchett said he sleeps in his office because it helps him stay productive and get to meetings early.

Liar, liar … Republican.

US layoffs surged in July to their highest level since the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic. In July, there were 62,075 jobs cut, a 29% jump from June and 140% higher than the 25,885 announced in July 2024. It pushes the 2025 total to 806,383 layoffs—a 75% increase compared with the same period last year and already 6% higher than all of 2024.

The Felon has got this economy running like a rusted jalopy.

Once a feature of the White House entryway, the official portrait of former President Barack Obama has been moved to the top of the Grand Staircase where it will now be out of view from thousands of visitors who tour the White House each day because The Felon is a narcissistic child with a diaper overflowing and no one around to change him.

Move it, put it in a basement, you will still never be more than the worst president ever and the worst human to slither across the globe while Obama will always be one of the best and most admired presidents. EVER.

Oh, and at least his portrait isn’t a mug shot.

After the Felon fired the head the Bureau of Labor Statistics,  Erika McEntarfer , because the job numbers were bad and he was pissy, he replaced her with E.J. Antoni, who wants to suspend the bureau’s monthly jobs report so as not to upset the worst president ever.

See, they don’t want to work at making the numbers better, they just want to hide them.

TACO has signed an executive order that will prevent US tariffs on Chinese goods from snapping back into effect for another 90 days. The order was signed just hours before midnight, when the pause on tariffs was set to expire.

The Felon’s regime released human rights reports for countries worldwide that makes no mention of discrimination faced by LGBTQ people.

He’s trying to erase us.

For two months, Democratic Representatives Brad Sherman, Judy Chu and Jimmy Gomez have been unable to enter a downtown L.A. processing center run by the ICEstapo. This past week when they got their first look at the basement facility known as B-18 they found it empty.

Scores of migrants, as well as some US citizens, have been taken from Home Depot parking lots, car washes, and other locations by the ICEstapo and brought to B-18 but there were just two people in one of the holding rooms last week.

Sounds like Koncentration Kamp Kristi is covering something up.

White House officials sent a letter to Smithsonian Institution Secretary Lonnie Bunch instructing eight of the Smithsonian’s museums—including the National Museum of African American History and Culture, the National Museum of American History, the National Portrait Gallery and the National Museum of the American Indian—to replace exhibits that include “divisive or ideologically driven” material with “unifying, historically accurate” content.

In other words, erase those parts of history that make white people look bad.

For the second time in two weeks, GOP Senator Markwayne Mullin has disclosed trades showing that he violated a federal conflicts of interest and financial transparency law. The transactions—mostly sales—are worth between $1.4 million and $3.5 million.

Grifter Old Party.

The Felon regime’s claim that it is saving billions of dollars through DOGE-related cuts to federal contracts is … a lie.

DOGE said it has saved taxpayers $52.8 billion by canceling contracts, but of the $32.7 billion in actual contract savings that could be verified were closer $1.4 billion.

Again, every word out of their mouths is a lie.

Each month, some 42 million people receive SNAP benefits to help supplement their grocery budgets. Able-bodied SNAP recipients between 18 and 54 who don’t have children have always been required to work. Veterans, however, have been exempt from those rules … until now after The Felon eliminated that exemption.

Beginning in 2026, veterans will have to prove they are working, volunteering, participating in job training, or looking for work for at least 80 hours a month to keep their food stamps beyond three months, unless they qualify for another exemption, such as having certain disabilities.

The party of war gives zero fucks to our veterans. Remember that in 2026.

US District Judge Stephanie Gallagher said the Education Department violated the law when it threatened to cut federal funding from educational institutions that continue with DEI initiatives.

The case centers on two Education Department memos ordering schools and universities to end all “race-based decision-making”—well, not the white race—or face penalties up to a total loss of federal funding.

The regime is racist; they are telling you they are racist. Pay attention.

South Park has doubled down on mocking Kristi Noem, the US Secretary of Koncentration Kamps, with an unaired post-credits scene released online in which Noem is shown entering a pet store and opening fire on the unsuspecting animals inside. One tiny dog manages to escape the massacre but Noem chases it down and kills it.

Last week Noem raged after South Park mocked her heavy makeup:

“It’s so lazy to just constantly make fun of women for how they look. Only the liberals and the extremists do that.”

Funny, I guess she forgot all the times The Felon denigrated women for their looks.

GOP Kentucky Representative Thomas Massie has invited multiple victims of Jeffrey Epstein to a press conference at the US Capitol as part of a bipartisan push to force the release of legal files linked to the late pedophile.

Massie, a thorn in The Felon’s ample ass, says he and Democratic Representative Ro Khanna will co-host the September 3 conference.

Massie gets small props because he's also a gun-toting MAGAt.

GOP California Representative Doug LaMalfa faced jeers and heckling at a town hall event over his support for The Fascist’s Big Beautiful Bill.

“No fascism in America!”

“You need to be impeached!”

“You’re a criminal!”

“You should be ashamed of yourself!”

When some in the crowd were chastised by LaMalfa for their language several people replied:

“Fuck you!”

Resistance is real.

The Felon cold-called Norway’s Finance Minister Jens Stoltenberg out of the blue last month to discuss trade tariffs—as well as his bid to win the Nobel Peace Prize.

Nothing funnier than a desperate gelatinous blob of orange flesh who could have been the leader of the Free World being reduced to begging for an award like the one given  to President Barack Obama.

A staff mutiny forced the management of a plush British countryside pub to turn away JD “CouchFucker” Vance just weeks after the same venue gladly hosted Kamala Harris.

The Humper had wanted to dine at The Bull in Charlbury, Oxfordshire, an early 16th-century countryside pub but the staff reportedly staged a mutiny, telling management that they wouldn’t show up to work if the venue accepted Vance’s reservation.

Freedom of Speech and Resistance go hand in hand.

Border Barbie, AKA DogKiller, AKA Koncentration Kamp Kristi, claims the US now has 1.6 million fewer undocumented immigrants since the start of the fascist regime.

Trouble is, Kristi’s Klaim is based on information from Center for Immigration Studies, an anti-immigration group, which said their own estimate may be overstated.

The liar got her numbers from liars?

Please remember …

The Felon put himself in charge of the Kennedy Center.

Then he invited himself to host The Kennedy Center Honors.

Then he told himself he was the President and “Do I have the time?”

Then he accepted the offer from himself before praising himself for honoring himself like no one else would.

This is not a joke; this actually happened.

But we can stop it if we …

The Funny Papers

Ed  Hall, Clay Bennett, David Horsey, Gary Huck, Adam Zyglis, Deb Milbrath, Mike Luckovich, Michael de Adder, Jack Ohman, Dave Whamond, Ann Telnaes,

This Bitch: Russian Hooker Lindsey Graham

Over the last five years, watching Lindsey Graham [Q-SC] go from calling the twice-impeached, one-term loser a “racist xenophobic bigot” who would ruin the Republican party to literally being one of his pet politicians, people talked about what the former president might have had on Graham in terms of blackmail, I often joked that maybe it was Lindsey Graham who was the Russian hooker who peed on the former president.

It was a joke … or was it?

You see, Miss Lindsey appeared on Fox News over the weekend and literally drank the Kool-Aid and then puked it up for Hannity.  Graham stated that the Republican Party officially “belongs” to IMPOTUS, and said he was grateful because the twice-impeached, one-term loser has, ahem, “allowed me to be in his world.”

Seriously. How much of a deeply, mentally bothered human being is Lindsey Graham? That’s a rhetorical question, but still, he goes on:

“I actually like [the twice-impeached, one-term loser]. He’s been very nice to me. He’s allowed me to be in his world. He allows me to give my two cents worth on issues when he was president. [The GOP] is his party. If you don’t get that, you missed a lot at CPAC .”

He's allowed me to be in his world?  What kind of sad sack delusional high school girl desperate for a boyfriend bull shit is that?

And he is seriously happy to get behind, or bend over for, the idea that one man is the GOP, which means Lindsey Graham is less about democracy than he is about a dictatorship. And then he continued humping the former president’s leg by predicting that, if the twice-impeached, one-term loser decides to run again in 2024, “no one” in the whole entire world would be able to beat him:

“I think he’s got a damn good chance of getting reelected again based on what the Democrats are doing to the country. Did you find one person at CPAC that criticized [him]? I thought it was amazing that we have so many people wanting to be president but not one person would say anything bad about him. That tells you a lot about the strength of [the twice-impeached, one-term loser].”

Sounds like someone, or perhaps an entire state of someone’s, should lay hands on Miss Lindsey, or call for a 5150 hold to find out how insane he is; or find out what the blackmail is. I’d be glad to start the movement to rescue Miss Lindsey from the cult and remove her from office.

Trouble is, she is so deep into it she doesn’t want to leave because without the twice-impeached, one-term loser she is nothing at all.

ISBL Asshat[s] of the Week: And It's a two-fer!

First up we have rabid _____ supporter, AKA goose-stepper, Wisconsin GOP Senator Ron Johnson, who learned directly from American ambassador Gordon Sondland that _____ was attempting to extort dirt on Joe Biden—his top Democratic opponent—by blackmailing the president of Ukraine in exchange for the release of $400 million in military aid.

Johnson says he confronted _____ on the quid pro quo allegations and _____ denied the facts, so Johnson didn’t pursue it any further.

Trouble is that Senator Johnson serves on the Committee on Foreign Relations, and so he has a fiduciary responsibility to investigate those allegations and chose not to because _____ swore he didn’t do it; Johnson is also the Chairman of the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, meaning it is literally his job to look into executive branch abuses of power, especially related to military aid to foreign countries.

Huh; and yet Johnson, who is a _____ lapdog did nothing.

Next up is House Republican Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, who is now, laughably, demanding that Speaker Nancy Pelosi suspend the entire impeachment inquiry until she agrees to a massive list of ultimatums that would effectively give the GOP equal control over the process.

Yes, he wants the GOP in control of impeaching the very man they are terrified of crossing, so they goose-step along with everything he says, every crime he commits.

McCarthy is the same asshat who admitted that House Republicans wasted millions of taxpayer dollars on a two-year Benghazi investigation, with the express purpose of harming Hillary Clinton’s presidential election prospects, and now he demands to be given control over this?

Take a seat lapdog.

Tuesday Thought #3

If You Think _____ Is Bad, Beware of Michael Elizabeth Pence

Well, the Blues are set to take over and perhaps drive _____ from office; that’s the good news. The bad news? Michael Elizabeth Pence. He’ll from being _____’s lapdog to the Wingnut In Charge, so let’s take a look back and Pence and all he’s ”done” for the country ….

The idiocy of Pence …

Pence was sent to South Korea as America’s official representative, but he showed up late to the VIP reception and was forced to walk table-to-table introducing himself; in doing so, he avoided key interactions with UN and Olympic officials that a normal delegation would have participated in.

Pence, in interviews, defended _____’s desire to hold a military vanity parade in America, all the while attacking Kim Jong Un’s regime for doing the same thing.

The dangerous lunacy of Pence…

Instead of standing by the Constitution, Pence lavished praise about _____’s free speech attacks, telling a reporter, “he’s a fighter!”

Instead of supporting the First Amendment, Michael Elizabeth Pence told a reporter that a White House ban on a CNN reporter was part of “maintaining the decorum,” and would not entertain an open exchange between journalists and Trump.

And remember the stunt at the football game, when Pence was used to prop up _____’s racist attacks on kneeling NFL players? That cost We The People $325,000 to shuttle Pence and Mother all over the country, merely to engage in phony moralizing.

Pence, at first, denied _____’s hush money payoffs to Stormy Daniels as “baseless allegations,” but when the truth emerged, suddenly he had nothing to say.

When the public became aware of the existence of a domestic abuser, Rob Porter, in the White House team and those in the administration who defended him, Pence called the whole thing a “staffing matter.”

Pence, in response to news that _____’s personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, was selling off access to corporations, called the corruption a “private matter.”

The hypocrisy of Pence ….

When Pence hosted a fake rabbi at an event just says after a mass shooting at Tree of Life, a Pittsburgh synagogue, he was widely condemned for the action.

Pence was showered with protests of “shame on you!” at a political rally for a pro-_____p PAC by protesters calling out the administration’s decision to separate children from their families at the border.

Pence, despite his longtime identification with conservative Christians, was vocally opposed by attendees at the Southern Baptist Convention who were concerned with the _____ administration’s anti-immigrant stance.

Pence, while attending a Martin Luther King Jr. Day sermon by Pastor Dr. Maurice Watson at a church Baltimore, listened as his boss was called out for his racist actions. Pence got an earful of admonition over his racist political partner, and a local news station reported that Pence was “red-faced” during the speech.

Pence said he “really would hope not” when asked if a member of his inner circle wrote an anonymous New York Times op-ed exposing _____ but realized his response meant it was a possibility, so he asked the reporter to turn the camera back on, so he could record a new, stronger answer.

Pence. appearing before the NRA at their annual meeting, told extremist group he was their “friend.” Two weeks later, while expressing supposed sympathy for the victims of a school shooting not far from the same site in Texas, Pence told victims “we’re with you.”

Pence appeared at an event with conspiracy theorist and racist former Sheriff Joe Arpaio and praised him as a “champion” of the “rule of law.”

The lies of Pence …

Pence, in an effort to bolster a racist lie by _____ that dangerous Middle Easterners were a part of the migrant “caravan” headed north, Pence said that if a migrant wasn’t Honduran, they could be Middle Eastern.

Pence, when _____ did not act to defend military pay during the government shutdown—something which President Barack Obama did in 2013—lied and said his boss was defending them during the political infighting.

Pence claimed that a story about _____ aides having to steal a document from the Oval Office to prevent a disastrous _____ action on trade never happened, even though there was evidence given to reporters; eventually, it was Fox News who made it clear to Pence that “it did happen.”

Sure, _____is the worst of the worst when it comes to US presidents, but when you have a goose-stepping, lying, hypocritical, racist homophobe, transphobe, Christian wingnut as back up, it could get worse before it gets better.

Hey Arizona? Take Note, Kelli Ward Is A Heartless B*tch

Kelli Ward is running for Jeff Flake’s soon-to-be-vacant senate seat in Arizona; she is a rabid, boot-licking, ass-kissing, goose-stepping _____ supporter so it is no surprise that she feels that John McCain’s statement last Friday that he was ending treatment for brain cancer was done solely to hurt campaign.

John McCain died Saturday hours after her remarks.

Her comment was made under a Facebook post by one of her campaign staffers, who questioned if it was "just a coincidence" that the McCain family released the statement the same day that Ward was kicking off her campaign bus tour, "or if it was a plan to take media attention off her campaign?" And Kelli Ward responded:

"I think they wanted to have a particular narrative that they hope is negative to me."

Seriously; this tool thinks John McCain decided to end his treatments and die with dignity just to cast a negative light on her campaign? Oh, honey, all the negativity is coming from you and your hateful heart.

Ward's campaign spokesman, Zachery Henry, is not taking calls to explain her words, but, although it’s far too late, her comment has been deleted from the page except for this screen shot:

And when that story broke, Kelli Ward took to Facebook to try to lie her way out of being a heartless bitch:

"The media loves a narrative. I’ve said again and again to pray for Senator McCain & his family. These decisions are terrible to have to make. I feel compassion for him and his family as they go through this. It’s not the McCain’s creating a narrative—it’s the media making something out of nothing. The media, the left, and the Establishment have the agenda. They’ve been attacking me over fake stories for a year on this issue. I ran against Mr. McCain. I don’t agree with his voting record and rhetoric. I pray for him as a man who is suffering."

Yup, it’s fake news, she says, except for the proof that she said it.

Arizona? Do you really want _____ in a dress representing you?

It's Always Lies

After a week in which we learned that, according to the Washington Post, _____ has lied about 3,000 times since becoming president, Jake Tapper has had enough.

He had _____’s Minister of Propaganda, Kellyanne Conway on—and that begs the question Whyyyyyyyhave her on?—and after letting her speak for about a minute, he was done with the lies, from both Conway and _____:

Jake Tapper: “Do you think his job includes lying to the American people because he continues to do so?”

Minister of Propaganda: “He does many things. You just want that to go viral and you want to say President Trump and lie in the same sentence.”

Jake Tapper: “No, I would like him to stop lying.”

Minister of Propaganda: “He talked about the three American hostages [taken by North Korea] and how the Obama administration tried and failed to get them free.”

And there it is!

Jake Tapper pointed out that two of the three detained while after _____ was elected and so how could Obama have tried and failed to get them out? He pointed out that _____ Tweeted that lie …

“That is just a lie and that tweet is still up there. That is just symbolic of the fact that this president gets in his own way all the time even when there is something good happening.”

Minister of Propaganda: “You are focused on the tweet and we are focused on the hostages.”

Except you lied about when two of the three were detained and tried to make it look like Obama had failed to do anything when it’s all _____.

Look, I know Deplorable won’t read this, unless they have someone read it for them, but if you’re out there, and if someone can tell you what this says, please use your words and tell me how this isn’t a bald-faced lie from both _____ and his Minister of Propaganda,

Oh, you can’t?

Oh, and Kellyanne …..

President-For-Now _____ Orders Cabinet To Plant A Wet One On His Ass

Hair Furor!

President-For-Now _____ held a Cabinet meeting yesterday—cameras present and running, of course—and asked that each and every Cabinet member around the table start off by kissing his big fat ass.

Oh, but he did.

But, as a narcissist will do, _____ started off first, praising himself—I guess to show his underlings what he expected of them:

"Never has there been a president, with few exceptions—case of FDR, he had a major depression to handle—who has passed more legislation and who has done more things than what we’ve done. We’ve been about as active as you can possibly be and at a just about record pace.”

Um, like what? Wall? No. Travel ban? No. Healthcare? No.

And then he asked the others to speak; Mike Pence went first:

“Never have I had a more gentle lover. The way you bend me over the couch in the Oval Office and make sweet sweet love to me.".

Okay, maybe Mike didn’t say that, but he did say this:

“It is the greatest privilege of my life to serve as vice president. The president is keeping his word to the American people.”

And Pence is awaiting impeachment so he can ascend to the throne.

Next up, Secretary of Energy Rick Perry:

“Now, because of you, Mr. President, people have stopped calling me ‘The Dumb One’ in the GOP.”

All right! He didn’t exactly say it in those words, but Perry—who had urged_____ not to drop out of the Paris climate agreement—praised the man for doing just that:

“My hat’s off to you for taking that stand and sending a clear message around the world.” 

Health Secretary Tom Price said:

“You have made my life. By allowing me to work toward denying healthcare to millions while making millions myself, well, I could go on kissing your lily white ass for decades.”

Or, he said:

"I can't thank you enough for the privileges you've given me and the leadership that you've shown. And we’re continuing to work very hard every day to accomplish these goals.”

But I’ll give it to U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley—who spends her days fixing the idiotic gaffes and statements issued by the Tool-In-Chief—who, instead of saying something along the lines of “How come you don’t wanna grab my pussy?” said:

“I think the international community knows we’re back."

But it was Chief of Staff Reince Priebus who walked up behind _____, made him stand, undid his belt, pushed down the President’s pants, pulled down his briefs, spread those clammy ass cheeks and planted a big went one on _____’s sphincter, with this one:

“On behalf of the entire senior staff around you, Mr. President, we thank you for the opportunity and the blessing that you’ve given us to serve your agenda and the American people,”

No joke; he said that.

Of course, rumors abound that Priebus is thisclose to being kicked to the curb, so can we blame him for being such a stunt man?

Despite Trump’s boasts to the contrary—the only thing they’ve accomplished are scandals, and low approval ratings—no major legislation has made its way through Congress.

None. Nearly six months in and the GOP—fully in control of the entire government—has done nothing.

But, hey, _____ wants a rim job.

Reason #1 The GOP Needs To Be Voted Out: Jason Chaffetz

So this week the GOP unveiled _____Care, their utter mess of a plan to replace Obamacare, or for those who still don’t get it, the Affordable Care Act [ACA], and the goose-steppers are out in force trying to shove it down our throats.

But one goose-stepper, one out-of-touch goose-stepper, actually stepped in it.

When Utah Representative Jason Chaffetz appeared on CNN to champion the bill he claimed it will benefit everyone if people use their money responsibly:

“We’re getting rid of the individual mandate. We’re getting rid of those things that people said that they don’t want. And you know what, Americans have choices. And they’ve got to make a choice. And so maybe, rather than getting that new iPhone that they just love and they want to go spend hundreds of dollars on, maybe they should invest in their own health care.”

You don’t think the GOP is out of touch? Chaffetz believes an iPhone is the same price as healthcare and so it would be an easy swap from one to the other. But Twitter disagreed ...

Even me:

Even more disturbing is that Chaffetz—who, let me remind you all, gets free healthcare paid for by We The People—says that the way the ACA subsidizes insurance makes people lazy and irresponsible, because they can buy luxuries and let the government pay for their essentials.

And to be clear, this is just the same kind of rhetoric employed by the GOP’s great leader, Ronald Reagan, that poor people, and especially poor minorities, are “welfare queens” who spend like crazy on so-called luxuries and then expect the government to give them more money.

But isn’t it funny that the real welfare queens seem to be those in public office, and in the GOP, who enjoy pensions for life and taxpayer-subsidized healthcare, and then will tell us we need to choose between a phone or a healthcare plan that will result in higher premiums, fewer protections, and millions of people getting kicked off their plans.

Ain’t that America ... in the eyes of the hyper-privileged, hyper-out-of-touch pricks like Jason Chaffetz?

And he’s not the only asshat; when Health and Human Service Secretary Tom Price was asked if Americans would have to choose between cell phones and health coverage under the proposed plan, he said Americans are already "having to sacrifice in order to purchase coverage."

Under Obamacare, more than 70% of enrollees found coverage for $75 or less in 2017, thanks to subsidies, but without that government assistance, the average cost of the cheapest plan available would be $311 a month.

Four times higher. And low-income enrollees would likely see their monthly premiums rise under the GOP plan because its tax credits are not tied to the cost of coverage and do not provide greater help to lower income Americans.

GOP; they are not the party of We The People.

Naturally, though, when the shiz hit the fan and people began calling for Jason Chaffetz to be voted from office—and let’s hope that happens soon—the little turd tried to walk back his statement, though he stood by his argument that Americans would need to better prioritize health care spending under the new plan:

"What we're trying to say -- and maybe I didn't say it as smoothly as I possibly could -- but people need to make a conscious choice and I believe in self-reliance. And they're going to have to make those decisions."

“Self reliance” says the man whose bills and healthcare are paid for by us ... until the good people of Utah wake up and vote him out of office.
