Ain't That America V

Well, what a week or so it's been in America … The Felon has launched a propaganda website …RFK Jr. once again proved himself mentally ill … The Felon admitted that tariffs will hurt Americans … Pam Bondi went full Nazi and stupid  … a Nebraska GOP asshat laid out plans to gut Medicaid while Lying Mike Johnson said there would be no cuts … DOGE is the Cybertruck of government agencies … The Felon’s first 100 days were golf and lies, and lies about golf …the GOP and planes don’t mix …Marco Rubio lived his parent’s dream of becoming an anti-immigrant fascist … the GOP clearly puts party over country, but … the Equality Act is up for a new vote … a wrongfully detained man was released .. Mark Carney and Canada .. pools show The Felon to be the worst … and impeachment charges were brought up …

The White House has launched its own Drudge Report-esque website—White House Wire—to spotlight positive news stories on The Felon.

Talk about your fake news.

Heroin addict and victim of a brain worm, Robert Kennedy Jr claims that the MMR, or Measles, vaccine contains a lot of aborted fetus debris and DNA particles.

No. Seriously.

The Felon acknowledged that toy shortages are possible as his tariff hikes ripple through the economy after the CEOs of Walmart, Target and Home Depot privately warned him about the likelihood of shortages and price spikes.

Huh. It’s almost as if he admits he’s a liar.

In the midst of The Felon’s major immigration crackdown and violent law enforcement techniques, Attorney General Barbie Pam Bondi boasted about her plans to kill American citizens:

“That’s keeping America safe. We’ve rescinded the death penalty. I’m signing death warrants.”

Bondi also claimed that “119 million lives have been saved” due to fentanyl seizures and the next day that number more than doubled to 258 million.

There are 340 million Americans so is she suggesting that anywhere from 35% to 75% of us are hooked on fentanyl or is she just another blithering lying fascist idiot.

Nebraska’s GOP Representative Don Bacon is drawing a red line on Medicaid cuts saying he won’t accept more than $500 billion in reductions to the program.

Just $500B.

On the other side, Hose Speaker Little Lying Mike Johnson, Nationalist Christian or Nat-C, says do not believe the lies the Democrat Party says about the GOP gutting Medicaid.

Even the GOP doesn’t have an effing clue as to what they’re ]doing.

DOGE promised $2 trillion in savings but now says it has saved the government just $160 billion but, in fact, the government has actually been spending more compared to this time last year as spending rose by $156 billion since The Felon took office.

Grifters, all of ‘em.

The Felon’s First 100 Days:

He promised to reduce the price of eggs and then egg prices reached record highs. He promised to bring everyday prices down but everyday prices have risen. He promised a booming economy but tanked the stock market. He promised to create jobs and then fired 100s of 1000s of government workers.

And then there was SignalGate, trade wars, Social Security benefits at risk, deported citizens, declassified the JFK files—but not the Epstein files, ended federal support for paper straws, ended production of the penny.

But the rich got their tax breaks so …

An F/-18E Super Hornet assigned to the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman was lost at sea during a towing incident in the hangar bay on Monday.

The plane cost $66 million.

What is it with this regime and airplanes?

In addition to El Salvador, The Felon’s regime is seeking other countries willing to accept illegally deported people from America and Marco Rubio, whose family escaped the fascist Castro regime in Cuba only to see their son join a fascist regime, says:

“We want to send you some of the most despicable human beings to your countries … the further away the better.”

He wants these Latino immigrants sent to Libya and Rwanda.

His family must be so proud.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul is open to renaming New York’s Penn Station after The Felon after his regime announced that the federal government would take over its redevelopment.

Stepping with the fascists, Kathy? Because you’ll re=name it after him and then he’ll pull funding.

That’s what grifters do.

House Republican leaders are moving to thwart Democratic efforts to probe DUI hired Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s controversial use of Signal, using their power to stop the minority party from forcing a vote that could embarrass The Felon.

Anything goes in the Party Over Country group as long as their gelatinous tub of lard doesn’t look bad.

As leaders in the House and Senate are set to reintroduce the Equality Act—historic federal legislation that would ensure comprehensive nondiscrimination protections for LGBTQ+ people everywhere—a coalition of civil rights organizations urgently calls for the legislation’s swift passage.

The bill’s reintroduction comes amidst a dangerous rise in anti-LGBTQ+ legislative and executive actions, including the erosion of nondiscrimination protections and weaponization of federal authorities against marginalized communities.

The nonpartisan Public Religion Research Institute found that national support for the Equality Act topped 75 %, including a majority of Republicans and Independents.

But fascists in power … the march goes on.

A federal judge dealt a blow to The Felon’s regime and ordered the release  of Columbia University student Mohsen Mahdawi, who was arrested at his U.S. citizenship appointment.

Now do Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

One thing to remember during The Felon’s first 100 days that he helped Mark Carney win the Canadian election.

I mean, he did that one thing right, eh?

A majority of Americans say The Felon is a “dangerous dictator” who poses a threat to democracy and believe he’s overstepped his authority by actions such as the mass firing of federal employees and the illegal deportations without due process.

Forty percent of Americans expressed favorable views.

Fifty-two percent expressed unfavorable views.

Forty percent still seems high.

Great Britain and the European Union are set to sign a formal declaration committing to “free and open trade” in defiance of The Felon’s tariff agenda.

A leaked draft seen by POLITICO promises a “new strategic partnership” between London and Brussels based on “maintaining global economic stability and our mutual commitment to free and open trade.”

The rest of the world will turn away from us thanks to the Bankruptcy King.

This week Democrat Congressman from Michigan, Shri Thanedar, introduced articles of impeachment against The Felon citing a sweeping abuse of power, flagrant violations of the Constitution, and acts of tyranny that undermine American democracy and threaten the rule of law.

Doubtful much will come of this right now, but the Cultists and Fox news are already playing the race card and wondering how someone named Shri Thanedar was elected to political office.

On This Date In ISBL History: Russia Bans Tribute To LGBT Victims Of Nazi Germany

As I am in Oregon helping my Dad recuperate from knee surgery, I thought I’d do something I’ll call “On This Date In ISBL History” and repost some things from back when the blog was new, and newish … this was originally published November 4, 2011:

To paraphrase an old Kermit the Frog ditty …

♫ ♪ It ain’t easy bein’ gay ♪ ♫

In fact, it’s downright hard being accused of being responsible for all of the ills around the world. I mean, we’re on the threshold of ruining marriage; we’re thisclose to the absolute degradation and downfall of society as we know it, and we’ve long been accused of unleashing Rip Taylor on the world.

Can’t a fag catch a break?

I mean, over there in Russia, we can’t even say we’re gay lest we’re accused of sparking some sort of propaganda. Now, that I get; I can’t recall how many times I’ve walked down a street here in Smallville and passed someone who says, "How are you?” And when I respond with, “I’m gay” they have me arrested for trying to spread that Gay Propaganda!

Or howsabout the time Carlos and I were in the coffee aisle at Kroger, debating on trying a new brand of coffee, you know, acting all like a couple and stuff, and then we found ourselves kicked out for trying to convert folks to gayism, or something.

I know, stupid, right? To paraphrase Dan Savage: It Gets Dumber.

Back there is Russia, where just saying you’re gay is a criminal offense, they have banned a tribute to the LGBTI victims of Nazi Germany. Yup, the Moscow government has refused a group that sought to condemn Adolf Hitler’s actions and honor the 100,000 gay people arrested during World War II.

The intention of the tribute was to also spread the message about not repeating past mistakes and ensuring something like the Holocaust never happens again, but the authorities rejected the application, saying paying tribute to gay victims of Nazi Germany could potentially ‘influence’ children on homosexuality.

Oh. Well, since you put it that way, I guess I can see it. I mean, I can see how calling attention to the 100,000 or so gay men and women in Nazi Germany who were rounded up, arrested, and taken to a concentration camp where  they were experimented upon, used as slave labor and then murdered, would make a bunch of questioning Russian kids say, “Ooh, being gay sounds fun!”

Let me say this again: seeing someone gay cannot make you gay; having someone tell you they’re gay cannot make you gay; hearing the word gay cannot make you gay. You know what makes you gay: being born that way, and no matter what Russia tries to do, little bitty gay Russian babies will continue to be born every single day.

And it’s still dangerous, even life-threatening, to be gay in Russia.

Or even to be gay-friendly.

And you can blame all of that on the homoerotic posturings, both on camera and in politics, of Donald's BFF Vladimir Put-It-In, I mean, Putin.
