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 …

This Is The GOP & Why You Need To Vote Blue

Here we are again, showing you the GOP and their true colors … white hooded grifters, traitors, liars and asshats …

On Sunday ABC News anchor Martha Raddatz spoke to Speaker of the House, Christian Nationalist, Mike Johnson, about The Felon’s attacks on Kamala Harris for her laugh, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi and President Biden, whom he called a “sick, weak, pathetic man” and Johnson, lips firmly pressed to The Felon’s gelatinous ass said:

“Look, there’s campaign rhetoric on both sides…there has been. It’s beyond disputed that [The Felon] has been the most attacked and maligned public figure in the history of the country.”

Funny how someone who calls himself a Christian can lie so easily.

As VP hopeful  JD Vance faces renewed scrutiny over his previous comments criticizing childless individuals, an newly unearthed 2021 interview shows the vile pig advocating for higher taxes on Americans without children and saying that people with children should get extra votes.

For someone who seems to advocate for children he’s done very little to stop children from being slaughtered in schools.

Remember a couple of weeks ago, in I Didn’t Say That here on this blog, Utah’s GOP Governor Spencer Cox said he would neither endorse nor vote for The Felon? Well, he drank the Kool-Aid and now, after #EarGate, says:

“Your life was spared. Now because of that miracle, you have the opportunity to do something that no other person on earth can do right now: unify and save our country.”

Unity? If Cox expects unity from a man who bashes anyone and everyone who dares disagree with him, he’s dumber than this flip-flop makes him look.

Last week Alabama GOP Senator and certified loon, Tommy Tuberville announced a $550 million federal grant for the I-10 Mobile River Bridge and Bayway Project. He claims to have been working with the Department of Transportation to secure this grant since being sworn into office in 2021 but the facts suggest differently as White House Senior Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates pointed out:

“Those are someone else's points, Coach … the commencement of a bridge project in [your] home state … was made possible by money from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which [you] voted against."

Another lying hypocritical Republican.

There’s an old saying that when someone shows you who they are, take them at their word; I give you, The Felon:

“And again, Christians, get out and vote! Just this time. You won’t have to do it anymore. Four more years. You know what? It’ll be fixed! It’ll be fine! You won’t have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians. I love you, Christians! I’m a Christian. I love you. Get out. You gotta get out and vote. In four years, you don’t have to vote again.”

The man is a lunatic and needs to be stopped.

The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services has ordered Balanced Nutrition Inc., to repay more than $132,000 in federal funding following a finding of “serious deficiencies” against the organization earlier this week.

Balanced Nutrition is run by Yolanda Hill Robinson, wife of hate-filled pastor and current candidate for governor,. Gov. Mark Robinson. Balanced Nutrition improperly billed the federal food program for some food purchases and bought items not allowed for the childcare program.

The candidate’s wife is a grifter.

Here’s a direct quote from J.D. Vance at the RNC and if this doesn’t scare the shiz out of you …

“We want to promote the types of virtues that exist in Kyle Rittenhouse.”

The underage murderer who crossed state lines with weapons and shot and killed two men and wounded another man are the virtues J.D. Vance finds good.

The 2024 RNC platform, that aides to The Felon drafted, stops just shy of calling for a constitutional amendment to give embryos or fetuses constitutional rights and does not call for any national bans on abortion, but it does say that existing constitutional rights to due process grants states the power “to pass laws protecting those rights.” The new platform draft also removes language from 2016 platform condemning SCOTUS’ 2015 decision to grant same-sex couples the right to marry.

But you can rest assured if the GOP wins in November a national abortion ban will be put in place and same-sex marriage will no longer be legal.

Trust.

The Felon repeatedly attacked Vice President Kamala Harris during a rally on Wednesday, telling the crowd:

“She’s totally against the Jewish people.”

The is news to her husband, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, who is Jewish.

He also mispronounced Harris’s first name dozens of times either because he’s a scared little baby or he’s simply stupid..

This week Tennessee GOP Representative Tim Burchett dismissed the qualifications of Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle and Vice President Kamala Harris, calling both women “DEI hires.”

I’d like to remind you all that when you hear the words “DEI hire” tell yourselves that it’s the new “n****r” or “f****t” or any other derogatory term for marginalized people.

It’s racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic and wrong.

Self-avowed Christian nationalist—more commonly called Nat C’s—Daily Wire host Matt Walsh said of Kamala Harris:

“Having children gives you a stake in the future of the country that those without children simply don’t have. OK? That’s not a moral judgment, it’s just a fact. You have more invested in the future of the country when you have children who will be living in it … The larger point is not that Harris has no children of her own—it’s why she has no children of her own. She’s a woman who has chosen to dedicate her life to her own personal ambition and career advancement.”

I guess step-children don’t count in a Christian Nationalist world. And I guess if your children were murdered in a school shooting, church shooting, or mall shooting, your votes don’t matter because you are no longer an asset to America.

In North Carolina, Mark K. Robinson, a GOP candidate for governor and ALLEGED pastor, is known for his hate-filled views, like when he called for “killing” his fellow Americans who disagree with the GOP policies, He also referred to members of the LGBTQ community as “maggots,” called Michelle Obama a “he,” and has denied the Holocaust.

And yet he still thinks he’s a man of God? I’m sure God has heard his bull shiz and She is not happy.

The Felon spoke with Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner that his solution to illegal immigration was “we’re going to get them out,” which is entirely in line with a massive deportation plan of as many as 12 million people detailed in the controversial Project 2025 plan.

You know, the plan that 144 of his people created and the plan he says he knows nothing about.

The Alabama GOP has refiled a bill to arrest librarians. The new bill redefines “harmful to minors” by redefining the term “sexual conduct” and sets out a procedure that would allow criminal charges to be brought against librarians if material “harmful to minors” is shelved in sections for minors.

Remember the last time a political party suggested banning and burning books because that is where the GOP is headed.

Heritage Foundation President and Project 2025 architect Kevin Roberts has a new book coming out, and The Felon’s running mate, Vivian JD Vance wrote a very enthusiastic foreword and review promoting the book.

And all the while The Felon wants you to believe he knows nothing about Project 2025. Uh huh.

Please note that each time JD Vance speaks he digs a deeper hole for The Felon; as does most of the hate-filled, bigoted, racist, misogynistic, anti-children GOP.

So, stand tall, speak up, and …

I Didn't Say It

John Fetterman, Pennsylvania Democratic Senator, mocking Fox News over a report about the loosening of Senate dress code by taking down Fox, the GOP and Bobo:

"I figure if I take up vaping and grabbing the hog during a live musical, they'll make me a folk hero."

Aaaaaand scene!

Cassidy Hutchinson, former aide to Thing 45 lapdog Mark Meadows, smacking down Florida GOP loon Matt Gaetz after he claimed they dated:

"I will give Matt credit [to] his part of the statement that we did have an amicable working relationship and we were good friends—at points [but] Matt Gaetz, in my opinion, is somebody that I personally do not hold in high regards in terms of trust, and I do not think that Matt Gaetz has the best track record for relationships. I will say for myself: I have never dated Matt Gaetz. I have much higher standards in men, and Matt, frankly, is a very unserious politician ... I don't really have much else to say to somebody that is more concerned about a soundbite than actually passing legislation."

So, basically she’s saying Matt Gaetz is a moron who is woefully out of his depth and nowhere near her league.

Sounds right; he’s one of those social media politicians who want clicks but have no real interest in doing their job.

Vivek Ramaswamy, smarmy GOP presidential candidate, discussing transgender youth at this week’s debate:

“Transgenderism, especially in kids, is a mental health disorder… It is not compassionate to affirm a kid’s confusion. That is not compassion, that is cruelty.”

I wonder when this slimeball used car salesman asshat became an expert on transgender and why he disputes the American Psychiatric Association which says diverse gender expressions “are not indications of a mental disorder.”

Perhaps he’s just catering to bigoted MAGAt asshats ... or he’s just a lying fuck himself.

photo

Tim Scott, at that same GOP debate the other night, saying that welfare assistance was harder than slavery for Black Americans:

“Black families survived slavery! We survived poll taxes and literacy tests. We survived discrimination being woven into the laws of our country. What was hard to survive was Johnson’s Great Society, where they decided to put money—where they decided to take the Black father out of the household to get a check in the mail.”

Funny, sounds a little like Scott might actually be acknowledging systemic racism, something he says does not exist.

As for welfare being harder than slavery … I can’t.

Tim Burchett, Tennessee’s GOP Representative, on Kevin McCarthy and his future as Speaker:

“I have my doubts right now because I’m seeing—we need leadership … We don’t need someone just to say we’ve got 218 votes or whatever that jumps on the train after it leaves the station. Speaker Pelosi, I don’t agree with her ever, hardly on anything, but she was pretty successful. And the way she did it was she put an issue out amongst her caucus. She met with them. She figured out what they wanted, and then they put it out on the floor and they passed it and they rallied around it. A lot of work goes into that but I’m not seeing that work right now. And it’s very disappointing to me.”

Cuz it’s all games, Tim; it’s all show for Matty and Marge and Bobo, and Kevin’s hanging onto his power by a thread, so they can’t get anything done. Your party doesn’t work; it stopped working a long time ago and in the last six years has become a group of traitorous jokes.

Howard Stern, embracing being called “woke” by the wingnuts:

“I kind of take that as a compliment, that I’m ‘woke.’ To me, the opposite of woke is being asleep, and if woke means I can’t get behind [Inmate # P01135809], which is what I think it means, or that I support people who want to be transgender, or I’m for the vaccine—dude, call me woke as you f—ing want. I’m not for stupidity. I am woke, motherf—er. And I love it. I think that’s a compliment. These guys who I see on the internet who say they’re not woke, but they seem to be really angry, super against gay people—especially transgender. Am I for kids being able to read about anything in school? Yeah, I am. I don’t give a s— what kids read. Give me vaccines, man. I’m all for it. I like being woke.”

The opposite of woke is asleep, and the Republicans, many of them, in America, are asleep as to what they’re being told; they’re too fast asleep to even question the lies; they’re far too sleepy to see that what they’re being fed is hate.

Unless they all just hate, which might be true, too.

PS  A USA Today-Ipsos poll released in March found that 56% of Americans have a positive association with the term “woke,” understanding it to mean to “be informed, educated on, and aware of social injustices.”

I feel sad for the 44%.

I Didn't Say It

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., running for president, repeating an old Alex Jones lunatic claim about trans boys:

“I think a lot of the problems we see in kids, particularly boys, it’s probably underappreciated on that how much of that is coming from chemical exposures, including a lot of the sexual dysphoria that we’re seeing. I mean, they’re swimming through a soup of toxic chemicals today, and many of those are endocrine disruptors. There’s atrazine throughout our water supply.”

Yes, trans is in the water. Dear Baby Jeebus, save us from this brand of Robert Q. Kennedy crazy.

Odd, though, he doesn’t say what makes girls “turn” trans.

Nikki Haley, 2024 Republican presidential candidate and certified Flip-Flopper, says she would be “inclined” to pardon Thing 45 if he is convicted of federal crimes:

“We need to see exactly what happened. But when you look at a pardon, the issue is less about guilt and more about what’s good for the country and I think it would be terrible for the country to have a former president in prison for years because of a documents case. That’s something you’ve seen in a third-world country.”

Three days and three different thoughts from braindead Nimrata Haley.

First she said there was no case at all and it was a politically motivated case.

Then she said if the charges were true, Thing 45 was “incredibly reckless” and “put our military men and women in danger” including, as she said, her own husband who was about to be deployed again.

And now she says she’d pardon the man whose reckless behavior put the lives of many at risk.

Nimrata can fuck all the way off.

Tim Burchett, G OP congressman from Tennessee—a state not known for intelligent representation—claiming giants are real because they’re in the bible:

“I’ve never seen a UFO, but they’re in the bible. I mean, read the first chapter of Ezekiel. It’s the King James version, it’s a translation, but it describes a wheel within a wheel. It describes what you and I would call the classic saucer shape UFO. It’s in the bible. It’s in hieroglyphics. It’s in, you know, Dark Ages paintings. It’s there.”

Burchett has also blamed a mass shooting in his own state on a lack of Jesus in public schools, and then claimed that “people who pray” never commit mass shootings. He’s also best known for saying that there’s simply no way to “fix” the epidemic of mass shootings.

William Barr, on his former boss, Criminal Grifter:

“It started out under the Presidential Records Act and the Archives trying to retrieve documents that [he] had no right to have. But it quickly became clear that what the government was really worried about were these classified and very sensitive documents. And so the government’s agenda was to get those, protect those documents, and get them out. And I think it was perfectly appropriate to do that. It was the right thing to do. And I think the counts under the Espionage Act that he willfully retained those documents are solid counts. I do think that even half of what Andy McCarthy said, which is if even half of it is true, then he’s toast. I mean, it’s a pretty, it’s a very detailed indictment, and it’s very, very damning.”

This, coming from Thing 45’s most notorious henchman is quite telling.

photo

Demi Lovato, on why she switched back to identifying as she/her:

“I constantly had to educate people and explain why I identified with those pronouns. It was absolutely exhausting. I just got tired. But for that very reason I know that it is important to continue spreading the word.”

Really? It got too hard to explain? Doesn’t really sound like you identified as they/them as much as you identified as media whore.

It saddens me because an ALLEGED ally thinks it’s just a flick of a switch. Think of all those people begging to be accepted as gender nonbinary and being called all sorts of names, and Demi just changes her mind.
