Ain't That America XLIII

Here we are with the 43rd edition of Ain’t That America. I never thought it would last this long, but I do feel an end in sight … an end to wars for profit from the “Peace” President … an end to the grift  … to the gold-leafing of America … and end to the goose-stepping GOP … a rise in voting … a rise in Democrats stepping up and speaking up and doing the work of We The People … so let’s go:

Senate Republicans are seeking reassurances from the Regime on guardrails for Cankles $1.8 billion Reparations For Traitors fund to compensate people who attacked the Capitol because they were butt-hurt Cankles lost, was a loser, did not win, failed etc.

Playacting Attorney General, and Cankles’ Bitch, Todd Blanche met with Senate Republicans and it turned into a shriek-fest refused demands that the most violent Capitol rioters be barred from getting payouts.

Yes, he refused demands to pay off the most violent rioters.

 

As a presidential candidate, Cankles painted his opponents as trigger-happy interventionists who would get the US bogged down in forever wars, up to and including World War III.

And since we know every Cankles Accusation Is An Admission™ Cankles has racked up a list of countries he’s both threatened to attack and actually attacked and this week added Oman to the list because he doesn’t know where it is or what to call the people of Oman—seriously he threatened Oman if it tries to control the Strait of Hormuz along with Iran.

Oman is at least the 15th country that he has either threatened to attack, left open the possibility of attacking, or actually attacked during his two terms as Draft-Dodging-Warmonger-In-Chief.

 

Not for the first time, clearly suffering from dementia or being the dumbest human in the world, Cankles once again confused Iran with Venezuela again:

“I don’t go into war, I go into conflict… Despite the conflict with Venezuela who no longer has a navy, no longer has an air force, no longer has a lot of people that were leading the country into very bad places. Their leadership is gone. Their second is gone. We’re dealing with half of their third as half of their third is gone too.”

Demented and stupid.

Vice President JD CouchFucker Vance was mocked by, well, nearly everyone in the world, when he said during a speech on the economy:

“If you want to rebuild the American Dream for the next generation, vote against the crazy leadership in Washington, D.C.”

Finally the truth from someone in the regime.

 

The day the “Freedom 250” concert series was announced, rapper Young MC announced he was backing out of the government-sponsored partisan festival taking place on the National Lawn in Washington, D.C.. His exit followed Morris Day‘s statement that he and the Time didn’t have the, um, er, time to perform either.

Meanwhile, C+C Music Factory frontman Freedom Williams posted a profanity-laced message in saying they would also back out of the show after learning about Cankles Trump involvement but then he backtracked and said C+C Music Factory might go ahead with the gig after all, to show he was impervious to the backlash and because no one knows who C+C Music Factory is and they need the coins.

Last week Bret Michaels and Martina McBride withdrew from the line-up leaving just C+C Music Factory, Vanilla Ice, Milli Vanilli’s Fab Morvan,  Flo Rida and Kid Rock.

Sounds like a Who’s Who of Who’s That?

PS You cannot make this shiz up, but after so many people backed out of The Cankles Shit Show™ Cankles himself has announced he will headline the event.

 

Cankles is once again bragging about the latest rounds of tests he’s undergone at Walter Reed Military Medical Center:

“Unlike other U.S. Presidents, none of whom have ever taken an approved, high difficulty, Cognitive Test, I scored a perfect 30 out of 30, considered ‘extreme intelligence’ … In fact, this is my fourth such test, all PERFECT or, 120 correct answers out of 120 questions asked! It is very rare that anyone gets a Perfect Score, especially when achieved four times in a row.”

It’s also rare that anyone needs to take four cognitive tests in one year unless there’s something wrong … like they’re a demented fuckwit, perhaps?

Utah GOP Senator and Certified Lunatic™ Mike Lee left critics dumbfounded after posting on X that James Talarico, the Democratic nominee for Senate from Texas, would engage in religious child sacrifice:

“James Talarico will put you first… On the altar to Moloch.”

A reference to the ancient figure of Moloch mentioned in the Hebrew Bible and associated with child sacrifice.

Seriously.

 

South Carolina Senator and the reigning Miss Corn Hole, Lindsey Graham, one of the biggest war hawks in Congress, stopped by Fox News’ Hannity to discuss Cankles’ vow that any agreement to end the war should include a requirement for Middle Eastern countries—including Saudi Arabia and Qatar—to join the Abraham Accords, a treaty Cankles helped broker during his first term to normalize relations between Arab countries and Israel:

“If he can pull this off, if he can get Saudi Arabia—the center of Islam for the entire world—to recognize the Jewish state of Israel, he will have ended the Arab-Israeli conflict that’s been going on for thousands of years. They should change the Nobel Prize to the [Cankles] Prize.”

I believe he went on to also say they should redesign the Peace Prize to look like Cankles’ anus so Miss Lindsey could come by the White House and kiss it every day.

 

In an April 11 Truth Social post, Cankles wrote:

“The United States has completely destroyed Iran’s Military, including their entire Navy and Air Force, and everything else. Their Leadership is DEAD!”

This week he claimed:

“Their Navy is totally gone ... Their Air Force is totally gone ... Their military, we’ve sort of left it alone—because we think that their military is somewhat moderate. They have other people that aren’t moderate. We’ve taken them out. We’ve taking different forms of leadership out. We’ve actually left their military alone. People would be surprised to hear that. Because mistakes have been made in wars where you wipe out everybody and then you have a country that for 40 years can never rebuild.”

Again, the dementia is real.

James Talarico, the Democratic nominee for US Senate in Texas, raised more than $3 million in the first 24 hours after Texas AG and Criminal Ken Paxton emerged as his Republican opponent:

“Texans are uniting behind our campaign to defeat (Paxton) and the broken, corrupt political system he embodies.”

Good work Texas, now get out there and Vote Blue.

 

Gavin Newsom vowed to tax any payouts that California residents receive from that $1.8 billion Reparations For Traitors fund that Cankles created:

“Anyone from California that receives any of those funds, we want to tax 100% of those proceeds.”

Newsom’s pledge mirrors legislation unveiled in New York by Democrat Alex Bores, state assembly member and House candidate, that would also assess a 100% tax against payouts from the fund.

 

Last week US District Judge Christopher Cooper ordered that Cankles name be scraped off the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and granted Democrat Representative Joyce Beatty’s request for a preliminary injunction to block Cankles from closing the institution.

The judge ordered Kennedy Center officials to scrape off Cankles’ name within two weeks.

Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is leading in new polling on a hypothetical Democratic presidential primary. A new Emerson College Polling survey puts Buttigieg at the top of the pack with 18% followed by California Governor Gavin Newsom at 165; AOC has 11% support, while Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and former Vice President Kamala Harris are at 10% each.

 Sure it’s early but it’s already an impressive field compared to alleged GOP choices JD "CouchFucker" Vance and Marco "Where Am I" Rubio.

The No Kings Movement has announced a nationwide event for June 14 directly counter-programming Cankles Dementia celebrations and a Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) bout on the south lawn of the newly named White Trash House.

The centerpiece is a 90-minute concert at New York’s Town Hall featuring entertainer Bette Midler, songwriter Patti Smith, actor Jane Fonda, musician Rufus Wainwright and commentator Joy Reid – streaming free nationwide, while local groups host watch parties across the country.

The event is co-presented by the Committee for the First Amendment, a coalition of artists and cultural figures, and frames the US’s 250th anniversary as a moment of democratic reckoning. 

Get out and march and resist and cast a goddamned vote.

Ain't That America XXXVIII

What a long, strange week it’s been, with the GOP clusterfucking all over the place about Pope Leo and Cankles latest AI-generated Epstein Deflection posts. And with JD Vance failing to forge a treaty with Iran, failing to get Viktor Orban re-elected in Hungary and failing to follow his Catholic faith as he, too, tells the Pope to take a seat.

So, what else happened …

US Transportation Secretary and Reality Star Sean Duffy says it makes a lot of sense to hire gamers to address a shortage of air traffic controllers.

They play games and you want to insert them into real-life situations?

This is the Regime.

 

We all know that, like his wives, Cankles has a complicated relationship with the Bible. He has often called it his favorite book, has posed with it for photographers outside a church and has sold his own edition for $60, but cannot utter a single passage as his favorite.

So now, after fighting with Pope Leo and portraying himself on social media as Dr. Jesus H. Christ, Cankles will participate in a marathon reading of the entire Bible in Washington.

The Bible and reading; one thing he doesn’t understand and the other thing he can’t do.

In Texas, where some estimates say nearly 10% of the work force is undocumented—compared with about 4.5% of the US work force—the Texas Restaurant Association wants the Regime to create work permits for “long-term, law-abiding immigrants playing critical roles from farms to restaurants.”

I guess those darn immigrants aren’t stealing jobs in Texas, they’re just doing jobs Texans don’t want to do.

Oh the hypocrisy.

 

PeeWee German’s wife, Katie “Eva Braun” Miller says childless rates among men and women differ according to political ideology. For instance, 60% of “extremely liberal” men report being childless, while 22% of “extremely conservative” men were childless and Katie’s response was brief:

“Liberal men aren’t attractive.”

This from the woman married to Stephen Miller.

 

Cankles stirred up a hornet’s nest, even deep within his MAGAt base, when he shared an AI-generated image portraying himself as Jesus Christ. The image, posted to Truth Social, shows Cankles in a Christ-like role, healing a sick patient while surrounded by followers. The post quickly spread across social media through the night until he finally deleted it and then claimed he thought the picture was of him as a doctor.

Seriously.

 

GOP Representative Lauren Boebert stunned reporters this week by chastising “horny” lawmakers in Congress; her comments came in the wake of sex scandals involving Eric Swalwell  and Tony Gonzales, both of whom resigned from Congress.

Does she think anyone has forgotten the video of herself in a public theater watching a musical version of Beetlejuice while stick her hands in between the thighs of her date to grope him?

Seriously Gropert, sit down.

 

Clearly in the White House it’s always Happy Hour for Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent who this week confused the name of the Strait of Hormuz, a key waterway for the world’s petroleum market, with his beverage of choice:

“The U.S. kept their side on the ceasefire. We’ve stopped firing. The Straits of Vermouth have not been completely reopened, so we will see ….”

I do think the strait is owned and operated by the country of Martini.

 

Former GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley indicated that she won’t seek the GOP nomination in 2028.

She failed to mention that no one had asked her to run.

Judge Darrin Gayles, U.S. District Court in Miami, dismissed Cankles’ $10 billion lawsuit against media baron Rupert Murdoch and The Wall Street Journal, which claimed the newspaper defamed Cankles with a story about the birthday card he’d sent his PBFF—Pedophile Best friend Forever—Jeffrey Epstein.

Gayles dismissed the civil complaint because Cankles had “not plausibly alleged that the Defendants published the Article with actual malice.”

It’s not malice when it’s fact.

 

U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Bryan in Minnesota has ordered the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security to turn over unredacted evidence in Nicole Renee Good’s January 7 killing within three weeks.

In a comprehensive discovery order, Bryan directed the Regime to produce not only photos, videos, and audio recordings from 30 minutes before to 60 minutes after the shooting, but also ICE officer Jonathan Ross’s training and personnel files, cellphone extraction reports, witness statements, and internal DHS and ICE use-of-force policies. The order also requires disclosure of Ross’s medical and psychological fitness evaluations after the shooting, widening scrutiny beyond the shooting itself to the federal government’s training, oversight, and post-incident response.

Justice needs to happen for Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti.

 

Democrat Analilia Mejía won a New Jersey special election for the U.S. House after defeating Republican Joe Hathaway on a message of standing up to thew Regime and defending progressive policies.

The Blue Wave continues.

The Dream City Church, a megachurch in Phoenix was supposed to be a venue for Cankles to drum up support among the young voters but instead he found an audience whose members skewed older and were focused on divisions within their own party. Sadly, Demented DonOLD didn’t notice the lack of young people:

“I want to thank all the young people. I’ve never seen so many young people.”

It seemed odd he thought he saw so many young people when the church, which holds about 4,000 people was barely half full.

Keep this up. Keep up the rage and resistance; keep up the demand for the release of all Epstein files and get yourselves ready for the next big protest on May 1st. The May Day Strong movement is organizing protests, marches, and a general strike featuring "No Work, No School, No Shopping" actions that demand “Workers Over Billionaires," protesting against economic inequality, anti-immigrant policies, and corporate influence to prove that We The People and not the billionaires have the power.

And remember …

Architecture Wednesday: The Atrium

This superbly restored midcentury home is sited on a towering bluff above Buffalo Bayou just outside Houston, Texas. It was designed in 1970 by architect Jack Stehlin—which explains the midcentury vibe of the home—but was extensively renovated in 2018-20—which explains the atrium.

The home features light-filled, open spaces with full-length windows and glass slider doors that open to the woods, as well as that massive, three-story glass atrium at the rear with panoramic views; there are terrazzo floors throughout, a conversation pit as you enter the home, and a modern kitchen comes with sleek cabinets, a Gaggenau refrigerator/freezer and a Bosch cooktop. It is 5,481 square feet with five bedrooms, four full and one-half baths, and sits on nearly an acre of woods.

It could be the atrium that sells the house … or the conversation pit … or the property … the floor-to-ceiling windows … but for me it’s the wide-open spaces and that spectacular primary suite with Zen garden, organize wood-clad tub, and a closet I’d be willing to go back into.

But that’s just me; does any part of this house make you want to part with $3.1 million of your hard-earned cash?
