Bobservations in Blue

Y’all, we did it! We CAST OUR GODDAMNED VOTE and changed the outlook for this country. Keep that feeling and remember it every election cycle, we can force change when We The People band together and do the right thing like voting for Renee Good and Alex Pretti, for accountability and decency, for healthcare, for immigrants, for the environment , for the future of our kid's, for Democracy, for LGBTQ+ Americans and Americans of color,  and for kindness and hope.… and here are some of those changes:

Democrat Allison Montgomery becomes the first transgender woman ever elected to the Alabama legislature.

Democrat Nancy Lacore, who was fired by DUI hire Pete Hegseth, has won her Congressional seat in Congress and may just be a vote in impeaching Hegseth.

Democrat Troy Jackson ended Susan Collins'—that very Concerned Woman—30-year Senate career.

Democrat  Xavier Becerra won the governorship over a billionaire whose sole interest was billionaires.

Democrat Deb Haaland has won New Mexico’s governor’s race, becoming the first Native American woman elected governor of a U.S. state.

Democrat Keisha Lance Bottoms won the governor’s race in Georgia as the first Black woman elected to that office.

Democrat Gina Hinojosa won the goi9vernor’s race in Texas and is the first Latina governor of that state.

Democrat Abdul El-Sayed won the race for Senator from Michigan.

Democrat Aaron Ford flipped the governorship from Red to Blue in Nevada.

Democrat Amy Acton is the first woman governor of Ohio.

Democrat Bentley Hudgins is Georgia’s first openly trans and non-binary state legislator.

Democrat Dina Nina Martinez-Rutherford is Wisconsin’s first openly trans state lawmaker.

Democrat Annie Andrews won the race for Senator from South Carolina for the first time in 38 years. The joke is that Darline Graham gave up her race to honor her brother Miss Lindsey by finishing on the bottom.

Democrat Congresswoman Sarah McBride won reelection to the Delaware Senate as an openly trans woman.

Democrat Cynthia O Ford won election to SC House District 57.

Democrat Chris Pappas made history as the first openly gay man elected to the U.S. Senate where he will represent New Hampshire.

Democrat JD Ford becomes the first openly gay person elected to Congress from Indiana.

Democrat Becca Balint becomes the first woman and first openly LGBTQ+ member of Congress from Vermont when she wins he third term.

Democrat Emily Randall is the first openly LGBTQ+ Latina elected to Congress representing Washington.

Democrat Leigh Finke becomes Minnesota’s first openly trans state legislator winning reelection to her third term.

Democrat Zooey Zephyr Montana’s first openly trans state legislator won reelection for another term

Democrat Jeremy Moss makes History as Michigan’s first openly LGBTQ+ member of Congress.

Democrat, and LGBTQ+ Marine Veteran JoAnna Mendoza won election to the Arizona Congress.

Democrat DeShanna Neal, Delaware’s first nonbinary expected official, won reelection.

Democrat Maura Healy, America’s first openly elected lesbian, won her second term as governor of Massachusetts.

Democrat Robert Garcia, the first openly LGBTQ+ immigrant elected to Congress from California, won his third term.

Democrat Malcolm Kenyatta, Pennsylvania’s first openly gay Black state legislator, won his fifth term to office.

Democrat Ann Johnson, an openly lesbian Texas lawmaker, has won a fourth term in office.

Democrat Takano, the first openly gay person of color elected to California’s Congress, won his eight term.

Democrat, one of the first Native American women elected to Congress and Kansas’ first openly LGBTQ+ representative, wo/n her fifth term.

Lastly … Leon Skum pissed away nearly half a billion dollars in Texas GOP races and won exactly nothing … except maybe a rigorous Congressional investigation to his DOGE crimes.

And for the first time since we moved here nearly 19 years ago, the color of South Carolina’s state flag feels appropriate.

I Didn't Say It ...

Jasmine Crockett, Democrat Representative from Texas, on Cankles obsession with the Nobel Peace Prize:

“This self-obsessed president keeps whining about not getting the Nobel Peace Prize, but under his administration a father was just killed by ICE. Children are still locked away in detention centers. And this war he promised he’d end? It’s still going [so] spare us the pity party. We deserve better.”

Peace isn’t killing schoolgirls in Iran or Americans on the streets of this country. Peace isn’t starting wars in Iran and threatening to start more wars.

But that illiterate fuck in the White House is too delusional to see that.

Hunter Biden, on the death of Miss Lindsey:

“When I heard about Senator Graham’s death last night, the first thing I thought about was not all the things he said and did in service of [Cankles]. I thought of the time before [Cankles] when he was a brother to Senator McCain. A time when senators from different parties could fight about politics and still be friends. A time when a conservative Republican from South Carolina could say of my father, “If you can’t admire Joe Biden as a person, you’ve got a problem. He’s the nicest person I’ve ever met in politics. As good a man as God every created.” This is the Senator Graham I will remember today. Not because I have forgotten what came after [but] because in that memory there is hope. Hope for a country where brothers can fight like hell over policy and still share a meal, and a laugh, and the loss of the people they love. I will choose to remember the time before [Cankles] because I believe in an America after [him].”

Once again, Hunter is spot on … this time about the fall of Lindsey Graham after hitching his wagon to a traitor.

Thomas Massie, GOP Representative from Kentucky, on Cankles and the GOP screaming about election fraud:

“It’s ironic that we Republicans control the House, Senate, Supreme, Supreme Court and White House –and we’re lying about election fraud? We won all the damn elections. What are we doing with that? We’re bankrupting the country. We’re starting new wars. We’re violating the Constitution. We Republicans are not cracking down on the fraud.”

Seriously, how do you control every branch of governemt if the other party cheated at the election.

Make it make sense.

photo

Raphael Warnock, Democrat Senator from Georgia, on Cankles perpetual fight to relitigate the outcome of the 2020 election:

“[He] lost in Georgia in 2020. That’s not my opinion, it’s a fact. The votes were counted, recounted, audited, and litigated. He lost, he lost, he lost. He’s trying to sow doubt on the integrity of our elections in Georgia a so he can create the pretext to interfere in 2026. This president is a liar, a cheater, and a fraud and he has shown us over and over again that staying in power matters more to him than anything else.”

We’ve all heard the phone call or Cankles demanding Georgia find 11,780 votes so he could win the state. And we all remember Miss Lindsey going after Georgia and being smacked down by every single court, including Scotus.

Do not believe the GOP lies.

Michael Fanone, former DC police officer attacked on the Capitol on January 6, on Lindsey Graham’s death:

“Lindsey Graham is dead. I will always remember my first and only encounter with him when he looked the grieving mother of a dead police officer in the face and barked that he wasn’t going to listen to her blame [Cankles] for January 6^th. When I showed him my body cam footage of that day he turned away and looked at his phone. Rest in Piss, you fucking worthless scumbag. If there is a Hell I hope you’re in it.”

Harsh words? I don’t think so, not when you remember that the day after January 6 Lindsey Graham spoke in Congress saying he was “done” with Cankles after the insurrection, and then just a few months later he completely switched his opinion.

Res in Piss, indeed.

Bobservations

Last weekend we had a lawn service come out and give the back yard a refresh, trimming trees, cutting branches back, shaping hedges and holly bushes and the popcorn tree. The workers are all Latino so Carlos was walking them around the yard telling them what we wanted done and he didn't know I was there. 

At the side yard, under the trees, was our Pet Cemetery and I heard Carlos telling them that the big stones under the trees are cat and dog graves and not to remove those markers. But when he mentioned Tuxedo, whom I buried under the trees and then placed a rectangle paver over him, he told the men not to move the paver because that was the grave site of, as Carlos said, “El gato más espectacular de todos los tiempos” or “the most spectacular cat ever.”

All the times that Carlos poked at me for my love of The Great Tuxedo and now he says this.

I love that man.

This Tale of Tuxedo is from June 2010 and is entitled “Artist’s Model”:

"Years ago, in San Francisco, a friend and I stumbled upon a cool little furniture store in the Mission, where I saw this piece of wrought iron sculpture called "Twisted Kitty."

I bought it instantly.

This morning, finding Tuxedo on the floor, I wondered if, in one of his Nine Lives, he'd been the inspiration."

Tuxedo was a lot of things but he was most definitely bendy!

Sam Neill, star of the original “Jurassic Park,” died Monday at 78. His death came just two months after he announced he was cancer-free following his battle with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. 

I had a crush on Sam ever since I saw him in “Dead Calm” with Nicole Kidman. As both a younger man and an older man he was always a most handsome fella.

RIP

Lindsey Graham has barely boarded the Handbasket to Hell and already the South Carolina Sludge™ is eyeing his seat … Nancy Mace, whom the entire state just said “Oh Hell no” to when she ran for governor is lurking around, and so is Nikki “I am the Queen of Flip Flopping” Haley.

Oh, and Cankles wants Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, a native of South Carolina, to run for the seat and at least with him you’d be trading one sold-his-soul-to-the-Devil closeted gay man for a sold-his-soul-to-the-Devil out gay man.

Dear goddess, let’s get Democrat Annie Andrews into that office!

Remember married Kristin Cabot, the woman caught on camera at a Coldplay concert making out with her married boss, on the Jumbotron?

Well, I guess her fifteen minutes of fame wasn’t enough for the boss’ sidepiece and Kristin is now telling anyone who will listen that Coldplay frontman Chris Martin never reached out to check on her.

Oh Kristin, go sit in a corner and think about what you’ve done, and then get a real life.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, if football players dressed like this I might be more interested in watching them, um, “play.”

In a Sunday night Truth Social post, the 80-year-old demented man in the White House claimed that his approval rating was ::: hold for laughter ::: “59 percent” and that “prices [were] coming down along with the lowering of oil and gas.”

Seriously? Could anyone in DC get the straitjacket and haul this doddering old rapist off to the Nut Barn?

Atila Escolano Sanchez is a Spanish male model and musician based in Madrid, and is also an avid trail runner so, if you could catch him Would You Hit It?

Miss Lindsey Is Dead

Well, well, well …♪♫ Ding Dong ♫♪ Lindsey Graham is dead. I saw lots of words about it on Facebook yesterday and kinda put it all together and do what he asked of America in 2016 when he said, on camera:

"Use my words against me."

And so these are some of his words … but first the facts: Miss Lindsey died Saturday night at his Washington home of what his office calls a “brief and sudden illness.” He served four terms, chaired the Judiciary and Budget committees, and spent decades as one of the loudest voices in American foreign policy.

First thing Sunday morning the stories came in … Cankles declared Lindsey a "true American Patriot" while fellow war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu said Lindsey was a beloved friend. But now let’s hear Lindsey Graham in his own words:

In December 2015, Graham called Cankles a "race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot."

In February 2016 he said: "I think he's a kook. I think he's crazy."

Also in 2016 he said: “There’s only one way to make America great again. Tell [him] to go to hell.”

In May he wrote: "If we nominate [him] we will get destroyed... and we will deserve it."

And he refused to vote for him. But then Cankles won the presidency and Lindsey Graham discovered golf and by late 2017 Lindsey was scolding the media for calling the president a “kook.” Not the first time his own words came back at him.

His best friend was John McCain, a man Cankles the Draft Dodging Bone Spur mocked for being captured in Vietnam and kept mocking even after McCain dead. Lindsey Graham wept for McCain on the Senate floor and then kissed the ass of the man who spat on McCain’s grave.

In response to Cankles remarks about McCain, Miss Lindsey said: “I don’t like what he says about John McCain but when we play golf, it’s fun.”

The words he wanted used against came in 2016, when he swore that if a Supreme Court seat opened in an election year, the next president should fill it; in 2018 he repeated the promise and added: "hold the tape." Then, in October 2020, as Judiciary chairman, he rammed Amy Coney Barrett onto the Court eight days before the election.

In November 2020, Georgia's Republican secretary of state said Graham had called him asking about tossing legally cast mail ballots. Graham lied about it and denied it, fought the grand jury subpoena all the way to the Supreme Court, and lost.

On January 6th, with the glass still on the Capitol floors, doors still broken into pieces and insurrectionists’ feces still smeared on the walls, Lindsey Graham announced:

"Count me out. Enough is enough."

He was done with Cankles … but within months he was back at Mar-Illegal.

He cheered the country into war with Iraq and just three weeks ago he was on television promising that if diplomacy failed, Cankles was "going to take the Strait of Hormuz."

Graham infamously and shamelessly and relentlessly defended Cankles during corruption investigations, impeachment proceedings, rape trials, and manner of legal controversies, and was widely known as the biggest brown-noser in Washington.

Now, to be fair Lindsey was, at one time, a fair politician, working with both parties to get things done, and to the very end of his life, he was one of Ukraine's most reliable champions in the Senate. In fact, he died the day after standing beside President Zelensky in Kyiv. He will deserve some praise for that …

Still, during his Senate tenure, South Carolina has routinely ranked among the nation's worst-performing states in education, healthcare, poverty, infant mortality, and overall quality-of-life indicators. Miss Lindsey, long rumored to be a deeply closeted homosexual, was also a staunch opponent of LGBTQ+ rights.

We have Lindsey Graham to thank for that.

But how do you weigh that against a man who saw Cankles for exactly what he was, spoke of him as a bigot and a racist and a kook, watched him denigrate his best friend, even in death, and then spent over a decade bowing and scraping to a racist, fascist, con artist, grifter, thief and sexual predator.

Bless his heart.

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 XLI

His ego inflates with talk of ballrooms and arches and god statues while his approval rates drop lower than his IQ. His minions circle the globe to say stupid things and he keeps taking dementia tests.

Oy, what a week …

This week the Gang of Six Racist and Stupid Supreme Court Justices dismantled the Voting Rights Act, actually saying that the racial gap in voter turnout has closed.

Which explains why many states in the South are now trying to redraw their Congressional maps to make everything all-white. As soon as the ruling came down Tennessee’s GOP-controlled legislature redrew the congressional district of Memphis, which has long enjoyed its own Democratic-leaning House seat and split it into three GOP-leaning districts.

If you don’t think this is a racist attempt to keep Black Americans from being represented in government, answer me this: would you choose to be Black in America today knowing what’s happening?

 

The British energy giant Shell reported robust profits following the surge in oil prices prompted by the Cankles war with Iran. Shell’s adjusted profits soared 24%, to $6.92 billion, in the first three months of the year from the same time last year.

Well, Big Oil and billionaires are certainly being paid handsomely by the war while the rest of America suffers. If only there was a way to stop this bull shiz …

 

Last October the Cankles Regime abruptly stopped paying third-parties for medical care provided to detainees in ICEstapo custody; third-party providers are used to provide “medically necessary” care including “dialysis, prenatal care, oncology, [and] chemotherapy” but no more of that for detainees; they can suffer and die, I guess.

 

Senate Republicans want to provide the Secret Service with $1 billion for “security adjustments and upgrades” related to the construction of Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Ballroom™.

Yes, it was supposed to be built and funded without taxpayer money and now the GOP wants YOU to pony up your share of a billion dollars for a ballroom no one other than the Pedophile In Chief wants.

 

The Department of Education opened an investigation into Smith College, an all-women’s institution in Massachusetts, for admitting transgender women.

The move is the latest by the Cankles Regime—whose rhetoric has frequently included attacks on trans people—to limit, and more likely end, transgender rights in America.

Ten years after celebrating his caucus victory at the Iowa State Fair, GOP Nutbag and Senator Rafael Cruz returned to Des Moines fueling chatter about a potential 2028 presidential bid. Cruz told the audience that the GOP is “winning historic victories” under Cankles’ second administration but failed to name one.

He also made no note of the fact that not only do Democrats despise him, so does the majority of the GOP so his little trip to Des Moines was a waste of time.

He should have gone to Cancun again.

 

Transportation Secretary and reality show “star” Sean Duffy blamed to collapse of Spirit airlines on both President Biden and former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.

But Sean? Moron? How do you explain that you opposed bailing out Spirit Airlines saying there is no need for a federal bailout of any low-cost airline.

Sounds like another GOP liar.

 

The current US Senator from South Carolina, and former Miss Cotton Ball Queen 1924, Miss Lindsey Graham wants to arm the Iranian people to fight the Iranian government:

“I love the idea of empowering the Iranian people with weapons, a Second Amendment solution to make the Revolutionary Guard’s life hell. It’s one thing to be bombed by America. It’s another thing to have your neighbor shoot back at you because they’re tired of being slaughtered.”

Siddown, Sassy, and pour yourself another Mint Julep you ignorant fuck.

 

Health and Human Services Secretary, heroin addict and collector of raccoon penises Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is demanding hospitals stop serving sugary drinks and foods, including Jell-O.

Calley Means, one of Kennedy’s top lapdogs, is asking members of the public to report hospitals for their Jell-O usage because that’s so important … not the measles or the hantavirus.

It’s Jell-O.

 

Real estate magnate Steve Roth is standing strong with fellow billionaire Ken Griffin in his spat with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani for suggesting billionaires should pay their fair share in taxes; Roth thinks the ultra-rich should be “praised and thanked” and also said this:

“I consider the phrase tax the rich … when spit out with anger and contempt by politicians both here and across the country, to be just as hateful as some disgusting racial slurs.”

Tax the rich is the new N-word, y’all.

 

This week Secretary of State Marco Rubio made the following statement about Iran:

“This is an international waterway; no country can control them. There is no international law that allows you to say, I’m going to put mines in an international body of water, and I’m going to blow up ships that don’t listen to us and try to go through. We cannot live in a world where a rogue state like this Iranian regime is allowed to claim, as a new normal, control over an international shipping lane.”

He’s right … but then since September last year, the US military has conducted 47 strikes on civilian marine vessels travelling in the Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific Ocean, leading to over 190 deaths.

Maybe you should zip it, Little Marco.

A towering, gold-leaf statue of Cankles’ was unveiled with great fanfare at Cankles’ National Doral golf course, in a dedication ceremony that included a prayer from a MAGAt pastor even though Alan Cottrill, the artist behind the statue, called the whole thing a “clusterfuck”:

“I usually deal with people that have everything organized. From the start, this was chaos … and almost never, anytime whatsoever, does anyone miss a payment.”

That wasn’t the case with the 22-foot statue as demands to nix his vagina neck, AKA turkey neck, requests to make the model look, um, not so fat, and late payments soured Cottrill on the deal.

And when it went up his minions circled round and prayed while God was watched.

She was not amused at the false god idolatry.

 

Cankles once again went off script to brag once again to brag once again to brag about passing a test meant to detect cognitive decline linked to dementia:

“I’ve taken three. No president, think of this, has ever taken one.”

To be fair no other president has ever needed one, but then Cankles said the best thing ever, that he takes the test whenever someone calls him a moron.

Testing is a 24/7 gig at the Cankles White House.

PS The test he described―the Montreal Cognitive Assessment―is not an intelligence test but an exam to detect the signs of cognitive decline.

Why is he taking it so much? Asking for a country.

Violent crime in New York City remained at historically low levels through April, with the Bronx recording some of the steepest declines and department leaders said they are hoping to build on that progress ahead of the summer, when crime typically spikes as more people gather outdoors.

NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said the crime declines are the result of a policing strategy focused on using data to remove illegal guns from the streets and dismantle violent gangs and criminal groups.

Huh. Removing guns, you say.

 

Americans are deeply uncomfortable with recent religion-related statements by Cankles and DUI Hire Pete Hegseth. In fact, 87% of Americans have a negative view of Cankles’ social media post appearing to depict himself as Jesus and 69% dislike Hegseth praying at the Pentagon for “overwhelming violence of action against those who deserve no mercy.”

When you allow rapists and drunks who cannot quote a favorite Bible verse or refer the Bible According to Pulp Fiction, you’ll have these issues.

 

Days after suspending Louisiana’s US House primaries, GOP Governor Jeff Landry is facing mounting backlash from residents in the form of a recall to remove him from office.

Good. His racist ass needs to be removed.

 

Madison Sheahan, a former top official with the ICEstapo, has lost the Republican primary in Ohio’s 9th district as what some see as a sign of how unpopular ICE has become amid an aggressive immigration crackdown in Cankles’ second term.

Good. Keep all these bigots and racists and criminals out of office.

And how do we do that …

Ain't That America XXXVII

A bit of good news this week as Cankles found himself smacked down by several courts, as Pammy Jo Bondi found herself smacked down from her boss, as Kristi Noem and her husband were smacked down by ginormous boobs, and the war that isn’t a war, that’s over but not over, that is killing more and more of our troops, raged on and will cost Americans childcare and healthcare among other things …

Due to his illegal war in Iran Cankles has decided the federal government can no longer take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare because, as he said:

“We have to take care of one thing: military protection.”

Cutting funds for Americans to continue to fight a war he says we already won?

 

Shortly after his rambling nonsensical speech the other night, telling us that Iran was basically obliterated, but then also saying the war goes on, the spot price for current physical cargoes of Brent crude oil soared to $141.36, the highest level since the 2008 financial crisis.

Making America Great Again.

 

Ten years ago last week, Cankles said he would pay off the national debt in the span of just eight years.

Didn’t happen because instead of paying it off he doubled it from $19 trillion to over $39 trillion and the bill will be due long after Cankles is gone.

 

ICEstapo agents will be stationed outside graduation events for the nation’s newest Marines to identify whether any of their family members are undocumented.

As the illegal war in Iran continues, the Marine Corps has begun requiring everyone to present REAL IDs, US passports or US birth certificates to access any sites.

Since undocumented immigrants are ineligible for federal REAL IDs and don’t have US passports or birth certificates they will be rounded up and detained just for visiting their families who are fighting wars for the criminal president.

 

Last week we learned that GOP Representative Elliott Engen was arrested on suspicion of driving while impaired. Now we also know that in his car was GOP Representative Walter Hudson, who was also impaired and in possession of a 9 mm Smith & Wesson handgun in his waistband.

Drunks and guns; what could go wrong?

 

In the first days after Pam Bondi was appointed attorney general last year, the Department of Justice began shutting down pending criminal cases at a record pace.

The cases included an investigation into a Virginia nursing home with a record of patient abuse; probes of fraud involving several New Jersey labor unions; an investigation into a cryptocurrency company suspected of cheating investors.

In total, the DOJ closed more than 23,000 criminal cases in the first six months of Cankles’ regime so they could open cases against his so-called enemies.

And since so many of those cases were dismissed, well, read on until the end ...

Cankles shared the first images of his planned presidential library in downtown Miami, posting a video that depicts a skyscraper that appears to be about 50 stories tall.

That tall and yet not one book? What the hell kinda library is that?

 

Lindsey Graham was ineffective talking his colleagues into keeping the government open, but he chatted up Mickey Mouse last week at Woke Disney World where he had breakfast at Chef Mickey’s while Disney characters go around to all the tables for a little chit chat.

Then when he slithered back to South Carolina, he went to a shooting range to prove his masculinity, perhaps with a Pink Barbie Rifle.

 

Republicans are considering reductions in federal health spending to help pay for a budget bill containing as much as $200 billion to fund the illegal Iran war and immigration enforcement.

Say goodbye to healthcare because the illegal war is more important than We The People and remember that on Election Day.

Spain has closed its airspace to US planes involved in attacks on Iran, ​a step beyond its previous denial of use ‌of jointly-operated military bases. The closure forces military planes to bypass NATO ​member Spain en route to their targets ⁠in the Middle East though it does not include ​emergency situations.

Oh, and then Italy also denied permission for US military aircraft to land ‌at the Sigonella air base in Sicily ‌before flying to the Middle East.

And then Poland humiliated Cankles by bluntly rejecting his desperate plea for them to send their Patriot air defense system to the Middle East to help with his illegal Iran War.

You started this mess for no reason other than Epstein, asshat, so see your own way out of it.

 

The Cankles’ Regime is extending family planning grants for Planned Parenthood after a protracted legal battle. White House spokesman Kush Desai said the regime could not fulfill its goal of withholding Title X family planning grants for the nation’s largest abortion provider due to “significant legal challenges.”

 

Pope Leo said last week that God rejects the ‌prayers of leaders who start wars and have “hands full of blood,” in unusually forceful remarks as the illegal Iran war.

Of course, Faux Christian KKKarolying Leavitt completely lied about the Pope’s remarks, suggesting he said he will not prayer for the soldiers.

He said God rejects the prayers of leaders who start wars, dear. God gave you two ears and one mouth for a reason.

 

In a fairly scathing ruling, Judge Richard Leon declared that “The President of the United States is the steward of the White House for future generations of First Families. He is not, however, the owner...no statute comes close to giving the President the authority he claims to have” and then shut down construction of the so-called ballroom Cankles wants;

“Unless and until Congress blesses this project through statutory authorization, construction has to stop!”

We need to oppose this ballroom at every turn. It’s the People’s House, not Demented Old Pedophile’s House, and he should not get to determine what is built on it.

 

U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss has ruled that Cankles’ executive order ending federal funding for National Public Radio and Public Broadcasting Service is unconstitutional as it violated the First Amendment of the Constitution by perpetrating “viewpoint discrimination and retaliation of this type.”

 

Cankles kicked Pam Bondi to the curb last week and replaced her, for now, with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche.

How embarrassing to be the Attorney General of the United States and be fired by a convicted felon.

Th upside is that Pammy Jo can still be called to testify about the Epstein Scandal and still see her ass in jail perhaps. But that shouldn’t stop America from …
