I Didn't Say It ...

Ron Howard, Academy Award winning director and former child star, responding to a Twitterer who asked “why is the smallest of achievements heralded as better than the second coming of Jesus when it comes to Obama, but with _____ it is only negativity from Hollywood & Democrats”:

“In the entertainment industry many who have known [or] worked [with _____ think that while his reality show was fun and ran a long time, he’s a self-serving, dishonest, morally bankrupt ego maniac who doesn’t care about anything or anyone but his Fame & bank account & is hustling the US”

Simple. Concise. Cogent.

Correct.

Joe Biden, on maybe choosing a GOP running mate:

“I would but I can’t think of one now. There’s some really decent Republicans that are out there still, but here’s the problem right now. They’ve gotta step up.”

No, Joe, they gotta speak up and denounce the traitor in the White House, vote to impeach his flabby ass and then spend the rest of their lives apologizing for their silence.

Then, and only then, should anyone look to the GOP as being the leaders of anything.

Linda Ronstadt, one of the greatest singers of all time, speaking to Anderson Cooper, on _____:

"I was sure that Trump was going to get elected, the day he announced. I said, 'It's going to be like Hitler, and the Mexicans are the new Jews.' The intelligentsia of Berlin, and the literati, and all the artists were just busy doing their thing. Hitler rose to power—there were a lot of chances to stop him, [but] they didn't speak out. The industrial complex thought they could control him once they got him in office, and of course, he was not controllable. By the time he got established, he put his own people in place and stacked the courts, and did what he had to do to consolidate his power. If you read the history, you won't be surprised [by the comparison between _____ and Hitler], it's exactly the same. I've read a lot on the history of Hitler, and people keep drawing comparisons. They're so staggering. It's step by step by step. He's isolating us, he's taking us out [of contact] with South America, Mexico, Canada."

Put his own people in power. Stacked the courts. Consolidated his power.

It was Hitler, and it is _____.

PS The Linda Ronstadt documentary, The Sound of My Voice is on CNN this week and it’s an amazing look at an incredible talent.

Pete Buttigieg, on Biden, Ukraine and impeachment:

“There’s been no allegation, let alone finding, of wrongdoing [involving Joe Biden]. I think it’s the wrong conversation to be having right now, though, given the spectacular misconduct that we have already seen in facts that are not in dispute, where the only argument to be had is over whether it rises to the level of removal.”

It does. Because if we don’t stop him now, he will feel emboldened to do more.

James Lankford, GOP Senator from Oklahoma, on _____:

“I said very early on in the campaign time period, when people asked me in 2016, ‘What are you looking for?’ Well, I said I always look for a president who can be a role model. I don’t think that President _____, as a person, a very good role model for a lot of different youth, but that’s just me personally. I don’t like the way that he tweets, some of the things that he says—his word choices, at times, are not my word choices.”

He’s not a role model for anyone, except maybe grifters, con artists, rapists, adulterers, traitors, liars and cheats.

Andrew Cuomo, Governor of New York, on the knife attack at a Hanukkah celebration at a New York rabbi’s home:

 “This is intolerance meets ignorance meets illegality. This is an intolerant time in this country. We see anger. We see hatred exploding.”

And we see it every single day from the Buffoon-In-Chief.

Jamie Raskin, Democratic Congressman from Maryland, on Senators Moscow Mitch McConnell and Leningrad Lindsey Graham openly admitting they will not conduct an impartial impeachment trial against _____:

“The way the Constitution is set up in Article I, for impeachment purposes, the House acts like a grand jury and prosecutor. It brings the charges. Two charges have been brought forward, abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, in our investigation. Now, it goes to the Senate, and they must conduct a real trial. Senator McConnell said he had seen enough and was coordinating with the White House, and Lindsey Graham said he didn’t need to see facts at all. That’s a disgraceful abdication of their duty. And they have to have the others solemnly swear in the matter of impeachment of Donald _____ they will render impartial justice under the Constitution and the laws. It’s not impartial justice if you say you already made up your mind and don’t need to see facts and evidence. And that is true not just for Republicans but Democrats, too. Democrats should be open with the possibility they come forward with exculpatory evidence. We haven’t seen any, but maybe there is an alibi we haven’t seen yet.”

______ has dirt on both; Mitch’s wife and Miss Lindsey’s private life. No other explanation for why these two bootlicking goose-steppers could go from calling _____ the worst possible choice for president to being his lapdogs.
