I Didn't Say It ...

Viola Davis, actor, on a Halloween costume at Target that seems a bit racist and the store’s apology for it:

“Target, I do not accept your apology, and I do not believe that you understand the impact … the pain … the dehumanization of the above. These images laid the foundation and the ideology for every atrocity that has been committed against my people. We MATTER!! You have shown us that you are not on OUR side.”

Target called the costume the "Kids’ Glows Under Blacklight Circus Clown Halloween Costume.” I think they totally missed the mark and even I see the hideous history behind that costume.

Target pulled the item—that’s it, below right--and said the company “got this wrong,” was “deeply sorry,” and is “looking closely at how this happened.”

Some racist running things at HQ seems plausible.

Zohran Mamdani, Democrat Socialist Mayor of New York City, on the mourning of both Israelis and Palestinians:

“There must be room to mourn the lives of the more than 1100 Israelis that Hamas killed three years ago. There must be room to mourn the 74,000 Palestinians the Israeli government [has] killed since. What I appreciated about being at the vigil yesterday was a vigil that brought together New Yorkers to read testimonies of their own family members [and] of others who’ve been killed either on that day or in the genocide since and ends with a shared vision for peace and an end to the genocide.”

This killing needs to end.

Why the government of Israel would decimate an entire country because of a group of terrorists is beyond me. Punish Hama and not the people.

And blame Israel for it, not the Jewish people.

Andrew Scott, out actor starring in Elsinore in which he plays Ian Charleson who was diagnosed with HIV/AIDS in 1989 and the importance of telling stories about the AIDS crisis:

“I welcome things like Heartstopper and Heated Rivalry and Red, White, and Royal Blue and all those things that are joyful. I really, really, really do. And I think the fact that there’s lots of different types of gay drama, so to speak, on film [and] television is extraordinary. It troubles me a little bit because I think people perhaps don’t want to go back to a time when you’re talking about the AIDS crisis, or you’re talking about [a time] when it was incredibly difficult for gay people. I think that sometimes comes from a place of shame. You go, ‘I don’t want to go back there. I don’t want to see that anymore.’ There’s something a little troubling about that for me, to say: ‘I don’t want to go and see something that was a difficult time.’ Because the shame does not lie with the gay people. The shame lies with the governments who ignored the AIDS crisis and the stigma that was around people and the innate prejudice that was in society. That’s someone else’s shame.”

The shame is those who did nothing.

The shame is on those who cheered gay men dying.

We must never forget.

Pete Buttigieg, former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, saying Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth should resign:

“Well, Secretary Hegseth is attacking Americans he disagrees with politically, while failing to deal with the actual enemy in Iran so he has no business lecturing various people domestically that he doesn’t like. He needs to get to work and get us better results. [Hegseth and the Cankles’ regime] have created a huge strategic problem for the United States that will reverberate long beyond this war itself because they brought out the kinetic power of the most powerful military in the world, the American military, and failed to get their way,” Buttigieg said. “When that happens, you have created a massive problem for the safety of the American people, for the credibility of the American military. [Hegseth] should be working overtime, or better yet, he should be stepping aside and letting somebody who knows what they’re doing take that all-important office at the Pentagon and try to do a better job.”

Buttigieg noted that the current president promised not to get into foreign wars, and noted that the presidential administration pledged to get Iran’s unconditional surrender and to keep the Strait of Hormuz, an international waterway vital to global trade, open. Now, nearly eight months into the conflict, Iran hasn’t surrendered, and the strait remains closed.

Dan Levy, out actor, has called out ALLEGED comedian Shane Gillis over remarks he made about women during his SNL opening monologue last weekend:

“Women wearing short shorts at the gym does not make them whores. It makes the men calling them ‘whores’ misogynists. There's a difference there. By the way, I've seen more men's nipples at the gym than I've ever seen women showing their bodies off. But I'm speechless that something like that can exist on live national television. And to be perfectly honest, more men need to be standing up in opposition to it because it's complacency that has created the environment in which women are sexually assaulted and it's a 'conversation' as opposed to a 'crime.' This is not a women's issue, this is an everybody issue. Because the more that men objectify women in the media, the more that other men see them as objects and treat them as objects. They are not objects. They are superior human beings to men, OK? And I'm sorry if this gets me in trouble with the internet, but fuck."

Levy specifically took issue with a portion of Gillis' monologue in which the comedian described going to the gym and observing that "women just dress like whores now."

So, so funny … cough.

I Didn't Say It ...

Mrs. Betty Bowers, America’s Favorite Christian, on Cankles’ latest deflection:

“I don’t think it’s a coincidence that [he] is banning news outlets the week before a court’s deadline for Todd Blanche to release interview notes with underage girls [Cankles] is alleged to have raped and threatened. He’s rather we talk about his censorship than his pedophilia.”

Bad news, Cankles, America is great at multi-tasking; we see your deflections and we bring up the illegal war, your pedophile ring of rapists, high food and gas prices, lack of healthcare, ICE murderers running rampant in the streets.

We see you and know what you are … a criminal, a rapist, a pedophile, a grifter and the worst human being to ever enter politics.

photo

Pete Buttigieg, former Secretary of Transportation and future President of the United States, taking Congress to task for avoiding their jobs:

“How can Republicans in Congress justify leaving for vacation right now? Diesel costs just hit an all-time high. Our nation is at war. The bond market is quivering. The urgency of AI regulation has come to a critical moment. Congress should be working overtime. Instead, Speaker Johnson sent them home. You don’t have to be a Democrat to find that disgraceful.”

They work for We the People and are scarcely in DC at all. Every time some tricky situation comes up … a vote on the Epstein files or a vote to impeach Pete Hegset, Little Mike Johnson sends them home for recess.

It’s enough; vote the entire lot of them out of office.

photo

Macklemore, rap artist, on his Palestine remarks as Ed Sheeren’s opening act:

“I didn’t need 10 shows from Ed. I needed 2. Two chances to stand in front of 90,000 people and say the words that somehow became too dangerous to say: Free Palestine. But if those words cost me the stage, while turning the conversation back to Palestine, then it was the most successful tour I’ve ever been on.”

You cannot blame the Palestinians for Hamas, just as you cannot blame the Jews for war criminal Bibi Netanyahu or blame Americans for war criminal and rapist Cankles.

photo

Maria Shriver, journalist, on Cankles’ banning the press from the White House:

“The President of the United States just said he wants to ban the Free Press. He said he doesn’t want them in his office, which by the way is the Oval Office in the People’s House. This is unheard of and We The People cannot let this be. The midterms are around the corner. Vote like your life and the lives of others are at stake.”

If you don’t vote in this election you are dooming America to forvere be in the hands of billionaires, criminals, predophiles and power hungry straight white men who will do anyhting to stay in control including silencing anyone who speaks out against them.

photo

James Talarico, Democrat candidate for Senate from Texas, on yet another ICEstapo murder, this time in Texas:

“Wilbur Garces Perez, the man ICE shot on Sunday in Austin, has no criminal record. An ICE agent shot him anyway. He slept on a prison cell floor with a bullet still lodged in his back. He can’t move the left side of his body. This isn’t law enforcement, it’s lawlessness.”

This is not America; we are not going back to murdering people of color because we think they might be criminals. Wilbur Garces Perez is not a criminal and he desrves justice and those who shot him, dragged him to the ground and threw him on a bare concrete floor need to be punished.

photo

Stuart Stevens, former GOP strategist:

“When Democrats take the House, they must understand they are not a governing party, they are a dissident movement. Act like it. First day: cut off all funding of the Executive Branch. Vote to nationalize Starlink and SpaceX. Defund ICE. That’s the first day. On the second, get more aggressive. There is nothing in the middle of the road but yellow lines and dead armadillos.”

Don’t take the high road, and don’t tell not holding the regime accountable is the best thing for America. The best thing for America is to punish the regime so others in the GOP will think long and hard before trying this again.

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.

I Didn't Say It ...

Barack Obama, greatest president in my lifetime, living rent free in Cankles addled brain, pointing to the 2015 nuclear deal as evidence that Tehran’s program can be constrained without  military intervention:

“We went about trying to negotiate a diplomatic agreement that would get the enriched uranium out of Iran, that would assure they could not get to a nuclear weapon without us knowing about it … and that there were mechanisms in place to enforce it and verify it. And we pulled it off without firing a missile. My basic theory was that Iran couldn’t become a nuclear state, that the regime itself was murderous, oftentimes towards its own people, engaged in state-sponsored terrorism, was a threat to the United States and allies of ours, so the idea that they would have nuclear weapons would be extraordinarily dangerous. What I also believed was that the regime was not entirely irrational, that they had a survival instinct, and that when you carry out the military force, innocent people die. There’s no dispute that it worked, and we didn’t, we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz.”

The JCPOA [Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action or Iran Nuclear Deal] remained in effect from January 2016 until Cankles unilaterally withdrew the US from the agreement during his first term in 2018 and then started a war in the hopes of getting the exact same deal in 2026.

Obama did the same deal years earlier and no one died and gas prices didn’t nearly double.

Terri Sewall, Democrat Representative from Alabama, on the state’s Republican passage of legislation to erase Black voters:

“This is a dark day for the State of Alabama. The Foot Soldiers of the Civil Rights Movement fought, bled, and died to overturn Jim Crow in the South and secure Black representation in government.. Today, Republicans in the Alabama State house passed legislation to erase their legacy and suppress the voices of Black Alabamians. To be clear, the State of Alabama remains under a federal court injunction which prevents the state from redistricting until 2030. The Supreme Court has yet to rule on lifting the injunction, However, Alabama Republicans’ rush to suppress Black representation while the injunction remains demonstrates the dire need for federal protections for minority voters.”

This week in Tennessee, the GOP in the State House removed all Democrats and all Black members of the Congress from their committee positions, and if you don’t think Alabama and Louisiana will follow suit you aren’t paying attention.

photo

Benjamin Cremer, Wesleyan pastor known for his progressive Christian viewpoints, on the golden statue of Cankles and the faux christians worshipping there:

“Evangelical Christian leaders literally gathering around a gold statue of the president and celebrating it, all while raging against any accusations of idolatry. This is what idol worship looks like.”

It’s a cult, rallying around the golden fatted calf of greed and grift and rape and racism.

photo

Ryan Clark, NFL player, Super Bowl XLIII champion, and ESPN analyst, on Southern states rushing to redistrict and deny Black people representation in government:

“Look, I’m gonna be real with you—Black college athletes need to stop signing with schools in states that gerrymander districts to block representation.”

A simple boycott; if you don’t think people of color deserve representation in your state government then maybe athletes should boycott the schools in those states.

Hit ‘em in the wallet; it worked for Kimmel.

photo

Mary Trump, psychologist, author, political commentator and niece of Cankles, on Chinese president Xi not meeting Cankles’ plane when it arrived in China:

“Xi couldn’t be bothered to meet [him] at the airport because he understands as well as [Cankles] does that humiliating your underlings is a great way to keep them in check.”

It shows how very little China thinks of Cankles, that he’s nothing more than a bumbling, decrepit, decaying, addle brained puppet.

photo

Michael Fanone, law enforcement analyst, author, and retired policeman, on John Fetterman’s flip to the wrong side:

“Simple question that every voter deserves answered: Are you representing Pennsylvania—or auditioning for a new audience? You want to criticize Democratic messaging? Fine. A lot of  Democrats would agree with you. You want to say the party needs to reconnect with working people? You’ll get no argument from me. But you don’t get to do that while you go silent when the President breaks norms, breaks institutions, and breaks trust—then turn around and act like everyone else is being too emotional. You don’t get to lecture people about ‘principles’ while you dodge the one principle that matters in a democracy: accountability. And you sure as hell don’t get to treat your voters like they’re disposable while you flirt with the same political machine that would happily watch this country burn if it meant keeping power. So, if you’re a democrat, John, act like one.”

Snap.

Fetterman is laughing at those who elected him because he thinks Cankles will help him in the future. But everyone knows Cankles is only out for himself, and the Democrats will dispose of Fetterman for good.

photo

Pete Buttigieg, on his Transportation Secretary predecessor, reality show himbo Sean Duffy and his wife and nine children, taking a road trip at a time when most Americans can’t afford a trip to the grocery store:

“I love a good road trip, but this is brutally out of touch: a [Cankles] Cabinet member making a documentary about himself while regular families can’t afford road trips anymore, because [Cankles] and his war put gas prices through the roof.”

Of note is that Duffy says the entire trip was funded through donations and not government funds, but the donors are big deals in the travel industry who’d like to curry favor with Duffy.

The grift and the tone deafness is stunning.

photo    

James Carville, Democratic strategist and political commentator, on the one thing Cankles is thinking about on his trip to China:

“You’re going to watch a grift and graft over there, like you can’t imagine. That’s all this trip is about, and I got news for you, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Sixpack, or whoever you are out there, he doesn’t give a shit about you, your future, your finances, your retirement, your anything. He just cares about making all the money he can as fast as he can, and people [who] don’t realize that are just, just woefully stupid. He doesn’t care if he, as long as he can go there and make as much money, as fast as he can make it, that’s all what he cares about.”

Remember that before leaving for China, Cankles was asked to what extent “Americans’ financial situations” were motivating him to make a deal with Iran and he replied:

“Not even a little bit. The only thing that matters when I’m talking about Iran—they can’t have a nuclear weapon. I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation.”

He doesn’t care about rising gas prices, food prices, energy prices, healthcare prices, he cares about getting a deal with Iran on nuclear weapons when we ALREADY had that deal in place under President Obama.

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 …
