Chasten Buttigieg, Pete’s husband, on Melanie _____’s RNC speech:
“When you have that platform and you are still outwardly racist and xenophobic, and you cheerlead policies and decisions that hurt other Americans, I think it is worth paying attention to. You’re the president’s No. 1. You’re there at the end of the day. You can encourage, cheerlead, and you can also guide … As their partner, you have an opportunity and responsibility to speak up. It was particularly confusing when Melania was talking about this vision of America that is against bullying and people coming together. I was like, ‘What are you talking about? You’re cheerleading one of most destructive, openly hateful presidents in American history.’ I was excited at the opportunity of being [First Gentleman] because it felt like I could be a beacon of hope, to do good things with that office, and restore dignity and respect to that institution. That office also comes with a weight and responsibility, and I think Jill Biden will do an extraordinarily good job of cleaning up shop.”
After Melanie, Jill Biden will be a remarkable First Lady because there’s heart and soul and compassion and empathy and intelligence there.
But Chasten would have been a good First gentleman, too.

ReplyDeleteand what happened to the toaster oven?

Eugene Robinson said on Morning Joe this am; “we all know that he [Trumpelstiltskin] has a black hole where his soul should be” which I thought very apt
ReplyDeletePS I got a Covid-19 test done this morning cos I'm hopefully having day surgery on Monday (if I don't prove positive). Don't let anyone tell you having a twig stuck up your nose is pain free!
People can say what they want about Sharon Stone...but I have always adored her. She's a strong woman and sticks to her convictions and beliefs and has no problems telling people to go fuck off!!!!
ReplyDeleteBut lesbie honesty...Chasten stole this whole post. He surely would have been a great First Gentleman. It still in some ways depresses me Mayor Pete didn't make it. But he aint out either!!!!! He will be back ......
Miss Piggy would make a better First Lady! Shoot, Kermit would be a better President.
ReplyDeleteDoes Ikea sell toaster ovens?
What the hell can you buy for a mere $25 at IKEA? Is HOMO HQ run by cheap bastards these days?
ReplyDeleteCHASTEN (sigh).
ReplyDelete@TDM
ReplyDeleteDarin is Swedish so I thought he might prefer IKEA. The Coming Out Toaster Oven™ is still in stock!
@He;en
Sending good thoughts that all goes well!!
@MM
I have ALWAYS loved Sharon.
And I would have loved Chasten as First Gentleman ... perhaps in eight years???
@Deedles
I
d make a better First Lady ... and see response to TDM re" Toaster Oven.
@Debra
Having never been to IKEA perhaps I underestimated the gift card. I've fired off emails to HOMO HQ honchos to see if we can scrape up some more coins for Darin!
@AM
Yes!
What? Where’s my IKEA card? I can go with Darin. I volunteer as pledge!
ReplyDeleteAnd Sharon is oh so right, though. The trumpanzees are voting for a killer and they don’t care. So little empathy. Just like Cheeto.
And I hope Chasten and Pete make it to Biden’s cabinet. It would be so fantastic to have. First gentleman in eight or twelve years....
As for Snyder should be the first of many repugs who gain sanity. Fingers crossed.
XoXo
There are so many Republicans flipping for Biden. I've never seen anything like this... ever.
ReplyDeleteMy money says Morse is KKK
How come Darin gets a gift card to IKEA? All I got was a toaster oven.
I'm so glad "Welcome Out Bob" has updated the gifts to "The Gay Agenda" and an IKEA gift card. I wonder how many are redeemed for toaster ovens.
ReplyDelete@Six
ReplyDeleteYou just want Darin, not the card!
@Dave
Too bad MOST are not currently in office, but still, it's amazing to see.
@Mitchell
The Toaster Oven is still in play, we just made a different arrangement for Darin!
I need a new hand vac. Can I come out now?
