Ain't That America XVI

Another week down, another crazy week down, and we're still battling liars and thugs and grifters, oh my. Comics are being pulled off TV, reporters are being told not to ask tough questions, and Cankles is so butt hurt he wants you jailed if you're mean to him. But even in that darkness is some light so let's dig in ...

On Sunday Cankles tried to justify the fatal US strike on a Venezuelan boat by claiming that 300 million people, presumably Americans, died from drugs last year.

He was off by almost 300 million and, yes, he’s that stupid..

The Fascist Regime ordered the removal of signs and exhibits related to slavery at multiple national parks including a historic photograph of a formerly enslaved man showing scars on his back, a move that was in line with his March executive order directing the Interior Department to eliminate information that reflects a “corrosive ideology” that disparages historic Americans.

He means disparages white Americans cuz he’s a racist.

On Fox News, making the announcement of the arrest of Charlie Kirk’s killer, President Cankles was asked how we fix the country and come back together and he replied:

“I couldn’t care less.”

When he tells you who he is, believe him.

Erik Siebert, the US attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, investigating New York Attorney General, Letitia James and the former FBI director James Comey resigned hours after Cankles called for his ouster. Siebert found insufficient evidence to bring charges against James or Comey.

Of note, Cankles claims he wanted Siebert removed because Mark Warner and Tim Kaine, the Democratic senators from Virginia, had approved of his nomination even though it was Cankles himself who nominated Siebert after Kaine and Warner wrote to him praising Siebert.

Within the past few days, after Charlie Kirk was killed, the Department of Justice deleted one of its own studies from its website showing that “far-right extremists have committed far more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist extremists.”

They’re covering up the truth to make their case that it’s liberals and transgender people doing the shooting when their own study says otherwise.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics postponed the release of a key annual report central to future inflation data but did not explain the reasoning for the delay or when it might ultimately be released.

So I’ll tell you: the news is bad because that’s the only reason Cankles would hide. He’s fucking the economy like it was a porn star who loved orange mushroom dick.

Last week Cankles rolled out a version of his regime’s long-promised gold card, a $1 million fast-track for wealthy foreigners to live and work in the United States.

Yes, pay a million and the doors fly open but where does the money go? Cankles suggested it could be used to lower taxes and pay down the federal debt.

Could be … which means it will disappear into his wallet.

The Fascists unveiled a new crackdown on journalists at the Pentagon, saying it will require them to pledge they won’t gather any information—even unclassified—that hasn’t been expressly authorized for release, and will revoke the press credentials of those who do not obey.

You report what they say and only what they say or you’re out. Anyone here who did Nazi that coming?

Millions of dollars in federal funding for New York City’s magnet schools are in jeopardy after the White House told the nation’s largest school district that it must re-evaluate its policies regarding transgender students—including ones that allow students access to sports and bathrooms matching their identities.

With all that’s going on in this country … Medicaid losses, SNAP benefits halted, the economy tanking, drunks at DOD and in DC law offices, American citizens being rounded up on the streets, National Guard doing cleanup of garbage in major cities, and this Regime focuses on trans people because the Cult is a’scurred of them.

Cankles says he’s a “very strong person for free speech. But 97, 94, 95, 96% [clearly counting in hard] of the people are against me” and that it should be illegal to speak ill of the braindead.

Cankles, the racist, rapist, pedophile, sexual predator, fascist, lying, cheating, stealing, grifting, adulterous, traitor con artist is butt-hurt and says it should be illegal to speak ill of him, so .... speak up y’all!

The EPA has ordered scientists in at least one of its research offices to immediately pause almost all efforts to publish research. The researchers were told that unless scientific journals had already returned proofs—the final step in the academic publication process—the studies would be subject to a new review process.

Cuz science is bad.

Contribute money to the new White House ballroom Cankles is building and, in exchange, donors may be able to choose to have their names etched inside the White House forever.

Wait, didn’t the racist, rapist, pedophile, sexual predator, fascist, lying, cheating, stealing, grifting, adulterous, traitor con artist say he was paying for the ballroom? Is he lying? Still?

ABC suspension of Jimmy Kimmel for pissing off a demented old man in a soiled diaper triggered so many people to cancel their Disney+ and Hulu accounts that the page to cancel those subscriptions crashed.

The power of the dollar at work; the Resistance at work.

A copyright infringement lawsuit former Congressman, and the GOP's Favorite Drag Queen, George Santos filed against talk show host Jimmy Kimmel and ABC was properly dismissed when the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan rejected the lawsuit.

But that’s not the good news, no, it was the headline of the article which read:

Jailed Ex-Drag Queen Loses Appeal Against Kimmel

Oh, snap.

A US judge has struck down Cankle’s $15B lawsuit against the New York Times and some of its individual journalists, though Cankles could appeal.

Cankles launched the  lawsuit last week accusing the NYT of being a “mouthpiece” for the Democratic party and of “spreading false and defamatory content” about him.

Meaning the NYT printed the truth and Cankles can’t handle it.

California Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom has raised roughly $70 million in less than two months for the ballot measure to redraw the state’s congressional lines, with the family of the prominent Democratic financier George Soros recently kicking in $10 million.

Soros? Oh this will send Cankles to the White House pantry looking for the industrial sized bottle of ketchup.

Four people have been arrested after pictures of President Cankles and BFF, and convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, were projected onto Windsor Castle while he visited England last week.

Better still, the citizens of Brighton joined a global anti-Felon protest with a song for the visitor. The crowd arranged a version of the quintessentially English song, "Hey! Baby," a melody that has become a popular football chant but with different lyrics:

♫ ♪ Heyyyyyyyy Donald _____. Boo. Yah. I wanna know why you're such a cunt! ♪♫

Brighton is quite creative.

Democratic candidate Xp Lee prevailed in a pivotal special election to fill the seat opened by the killing of House leader Melissa Hortman and will return the House to a 67-67 tie between the parties.

Hopefully, other Democrats will win and Minnesota’s House will turn Blue.

US District Judge William Alsup of San Francisco said the Regime’s central human resources office acted illegally when it directed the mass firings of probationary workers as part of Cankles efforts to downsize the federal workforce,.

In awarding judgment to a coalition of labor unions and nonprofits Judge Alsup said the Cankles regime “unlawfully exceeded its own powers and usurped and exercised powers reserved by Congress to each individual” federal agency to hire and fire its own workers.

So he broke the law and lied. Got it.

The National Guard compiled data regarding troop morale after being used as Cankle’s own personal Gestapo and the data shows that troops felt an overwhelming amount of shame.

The bigger problem is that the report wasn’t sent to the Pentagon where it was supposed to be sent but that the National Guard “accidentally” sent it to the Washington Post..

The Regime tried to downplay the data saying that it wasn’t a big deal that it was sent to a newspaper but you know Cankles is crapping his Pampers hourly.

King Charles is apparently very fussy about his bed linen—only the finest Egyptian cotton—but that’s not enough for Cankles who had his aides inspect his suite in Windsor Castle before his arrival and provide housekeepers with bedding.

Is it that he didn’t want to leave a nasty orange stain on the pillowcases from the spray paint he uses on his face, or is it because he craps the bed so often that he needed extra bedding and a plastic liner to ease the cleaning?

Oh, and Melanie wouldn’t help with the mess as she had a separate suite … The Slovenian Hooker Suite in the stables.

Dutch comedian, Arjen Lubach, poked fun at Disney on his talk show last week joking about “the new Disney,” where a golden Felon Tower appears behind the world-famous fairytale castle.

The prince from The Little Mermaid wants to “grab Ariel by the pussy” and Aladdin disappears in a flash when the ICEstapo arrives.

Once again proving he’s an idiot with the IQ of a tomato, Cankles promised drug costs would drop 1,000%—then claimed a $10 pill would become $20:

“We’re gonna be reducing drug costs over the next year, year and a half… by a thousand percent … it’ll go from $10 to $20 for us.”

Oh Cankles? Um, a 1,000% “reduction” from $10 would take the price to negative $90, meaning Big Pharma would pay patients to take pills.

Kids, this is your brain on stupidity.

The White House Press Secretary Karo-lying Leavitt shared a bizarre post on social media that claimed that an earthquake in Utah on the night of Charlie Kirk’s death was a sign of God’s anger; it reads:

“On the night Charlie was shot, a 4.1 earthquake struck Utah. In scripture, 40 represents trials; 41 signifies a shift. It hit at 5:57 local time, 7:57 Eastern. Acts 7:57 describes Stephen, the first martyr, stoned as the crowd silenced his truth. The Bible says the earth trembles when God is angry. That night, as a voice was silenced, the ground groaned.”

Karo-lying reposted it with:

“Wow.”

As in ‘Wow, I am an idiot.’

Are you tired yet? Well, then ...

Ain't That America XIII

Here we go again … the GOP doing everything from lying and cheating to hating and acting foolish … to a good step for LGBTQ+ Americans ... to one of Krist's Koncentration Kamps closing ... to losing in court and forcing Miss Lindsey to her fainting couch … so let’s dish …

Last week, in the middle of the night like rats and cockroaches, GOP Governor Ron Gogo Boots DeSantis ordered the removal of a rainbow-colored crosswalk outside the Pulse nightclub where 49 people were gunned down.

DeSantis said he “will not allow our state roads to be commandeered for political purposes.”

The murder of Americans is not a political issue, but DeSantis turns hate into politics.

On the upside, the very next day citizens took to the streets and repainted the crosswalk in an act of Resistance.

The US Gulf Coast is facing billions of dollars in yearly property damage by 2050 due to extreme weather tied to climate change which nary a single Republican believes in.

That’s all.

The Felon’s Justice Department is demanding that hospitals turn over a wide range of sensitive information related to medical care for young transgender patients, including billing documents, communication with drug manufacturers and data such as patient dates of birth, Social Security numbers and addresses.

It's an attack on privacy, individual rights, and trans Americans; it’s hate.

The Felon has called war criminal Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a “war hero” and announced that he is also a war hero for sending US bombers to hit Iran’s nuclear sites.

Draft Dodger and a Murderer … birds of a feather.

The Felon is saying the people of Washington DC are thrilled to have armed troops patrolling their streets but the numbers tell a different story.

It was reported that business at DC’s restaurants, bars, and nightclubs has plummeted since the federal takeover of DC police.

Trust a liar or trust the people.

In a 2016 court filing, Marco Rubio, then a senator running for president, made the case that the Constitution conferred citizenship on essentially all children born in the United States.

Now, under this regime he sings an entirely different tune as he now seeks to restrict birthright citizenship.

Flip flop hypocrite.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development [HUD] is moving to make English the sole language used for all agency business, a move that is in line with The Felon’s executive order to make English the official language of the United States.

Funny then, that The Felon can’t speak English and let’s not get started with his Slovenian Hooker Wife.

Judge Kathleen Williams of the Federal District Court in Miami has ordered that no more immigrant detainees be sent to Kristi’s Koncentration Kamp in the Florida Everglades, and that much of the facility be dismantled. 

Williams gave both branches of the government 60 days to move out existing detainees and begin to remove fencing, lighting, power generators and other materials. The order also prohibits any new construction at the site.

US District Judge Fred Biery has ruled that Texas cannot require public schools to display the Ten Commandments in every classroom; it’s a temporary ruling against the state’s new requirement but it’s the third such state law to be blocked by a court.

Brian Cornell, the CEO of Target, is stepping down as the department store chain seeks to turn around its fortunes amid an ongoing customer boycott over its scaling back of diversity, equity and inclusion [DEI] initiatives.

Target said people were scaling back spending over worries about the impact of tariffs and the state of the economy but also admitted that customer boycotts affected sales.

Boycotts work, y’all, keep resisting.

A dedication ceremony for a longtime public servant in New York’s North Country was interrupted by protesters on Monday. The event to rename the Clinton County Government Center as the John Zurlo Government Center was overtaken by a large crowd that quickly shifted to the protest against GOP Congresswoman Elise Stefanik; protesters zeroed in on Stefanik’s stance on the war in Gaza, barely letting her speak and forcing her to cut her speech early.

Stefanik eventually returned and shrieked over the protesters.

Fox News host Howard Kurtz has delivered a brutal assessment of The Felon’s meeting with Russian Dictator Vladimir Putin saying “it was clear not much was accomplished”:

“No ceasefire, no details, no questions from the press, just vague assurances that some progress was made without explaining what that was.”

Kurtz noted that the meeting, which did not include Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, had been preceded by a White House effort to dramatically lower expectations as it became clear in the days before the summit that The Felon is inept in every sense of the word.

The cult is demanding that Fox fire Kurtz. Because of course.

The Republican Party of Florida was pushing a new line of merchandise including baseball caps, T-shirts, mugs and insulating drink sleeves with “THE DEPORT DEPOT” in blocky stencil font diagonally across a bright orange square.

But the Home Depot stepped up and expressed concern about the unapproved use of its branding and suddenly the items were scrubbed from the Florida GOP’s digital storefront.

The GOP puts the Duh in Flori-duh.

The Felon has a new target, Democrat Senator Chris Murphy from Connecticut and as usual his issues is with appearance:

“The very unattractive (both inside and out!) Senator from Connecticut, Chris Murphy, said ‘Putin got everything that he wanted.’ Actually, ‘nobody got anything,’ too soon, but getting close. Murphy is a lightweight who thinks it made the Russian President look good in coming to America. Actually, it was very hard for President Putin to do so. This war can be ended, NOW, but stupid people like Chris Murphy, John Bolton, and others, make it much harder to do so.”

There’s a side-by-side of The Felon and Murphy; who’s the ugly one? Inside and out?

Hours after Texas GOP lawmakers approved a new gerrymandered congressional map a group of Texans asked a court to block it.

The plaintiffs, a group of Black and Latino Texans, filed an amended complaint in an ongoing challenge to the electoral districts Texas drew in 2021. The amended complaint alleges that the new map violates Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act and the 14th Amendment by diluting the voting power of Black and Latino communities.

Clearly the Texas GOP doesn’t want Black and Brown people to be represented in their state.

Illinois Democrat Governor JB Pritzker announced that his state is launching a “first of its kind” resource guide and hotline to support LGBTQ+ residents called Illinois Pride Connect that will serve English and Spanish speakers, according to the program’s site.

Callers can get advice on access to health care, identifying documents, housing, safety concerns and government benefits, such as Medicaid and SNAP.

As always, Democrats help, Republicans hurt.

South Carolina GOP Representative, Liar and Transphobic Loon, Nancy Mace—who is currently running as a South Carolina gubernatorial candidate—was forced to cancel a speech for the local chapter of the far-right organization Moms for Liberty last week.

Not because she was booed offstage but because only eight people showed up.

Mace reportedly slunk away backstage to avoid addressing the situation directly, before pivoting to speaking with those in attendance individually, which didn’t take long because there were only eight of them.

Speaking at the White House recently The Felon told reporters he was going to stop mail-in ballots because it’s corrupt.” He then claimed that he went to vote in person—though in the last several elections he has voted mail-in, he was asked to show his “license plate.”

Maybe one day, someday, he’ll be working a job making license plates and be only too happy to show them.

Right after The Felon was publicly spanked by Dictator Vladimir Putin in Alaska, South Carolina GOP Senator Lindsey Graham announced that the next phase of American diplomacy over the war in Ukraine needs to target Moscow’s pocketbook.

Graham has personally threatened to discontinue his use of Russian male prostitutes to help crush the Russian economy and that alone could cripple a nation.

And now, just a reminder …
