More rightwing homophobia … at the Senate Judiciary Committee hearings this week, Senator Dianne Feinstein asked nominee Amy Coney Barrett whether she thinks marriage equality is protected. Of course, Barrett wouldn’t say, but she chose to use the phrase “sexual preference” … twice … to describe orientation and I waited for Feinstein to challenge that. She did not, and I was rather pissed off. Sadly, I missed it later in the day when Democratic Senator Mazie Hirono ripped into Barrett:
“Even though you did not give a direct answer, I think your response did speak volumes. Not once but twice you used the term ‘sexual preference’ to describe those in the LGBTQ community. And let me make clear, ‘sexual preference’ is an offensive and outdated term. It is used by anti-LGTBQ activists to suggest that sexual orientation is a choice. It is not. Sexual orientation is a key part of a person’s identity … So if it is your view that sexual orientation is merely a ‘preference,’ then the LGBTQ community should be rightly concerned whether you would uphold their constitutional right to marry. I don’t think that you used the term ‘sexual preference’ as … I don’t think it was an accident.” I love you, Mazie Hirono. SIDENOTE: Barrett apologized for using that word but if you are a judge and an ALLEGEDLY highly educated human, you would not use that word in 2020. |

ReplyDeleteMore crazy times!
take care, stay safe, xoxo :-)
First off, maybe Carlos wanted to reenact a porn scenario in those shorts?
ReplyDeleteWhen I heard donny wanted to rip open his button-down dress shirt to reveal a Superman T-shirt as a symbol of strength, I busted out laughing. 1- NO ONE needs to see that fat gut in spandex 2- it would not have been appropriate for a ass in chief and 3- That for sure would have sealed for fate as a laughing stock in the world!!!!!
I didn't get the boycott thing either. if you don't like it,don't watch. Both candidates are entitled to fair time after all whether are not one should be dead.
That drop box thing is appalling!!!! And they admitted it????
When I saw the hearings , I too was shocked Diane didn't call that out. Me thinks it's time for her to check out...the gal is starting to slip. But when I heard Amy Phoney Ferret say sexual preference ....I knew right where she stood then. But give this battle up..it's not one to fight...she's getting the seat.
miss lindseybelle looks like she just sucked a lemon. or a smelly dick.
ReplyDeleteall the individuals/groups you are saying "fuck you" to in this post, that goes double for me.
sweet carlos and observant tuxedo.
There was a comedy duo in the UK when I was growing up called the Two Ronnies (both sadly now dead). Ronnie Barker, in particular, was an absolute genius. He did a gag one time where a guy could pronounce the letter C but not the letter K and did a whole monologue that seemed to go on for hours. I'm sure Tuxedo would have loved it!
ReplyDeleteHahahahaha Oh, Carlos. BTW, I have some shorts that don't have front pockets and I've put them inside out twice. So yes.
ReplyDeleteTuxedo, those KKK are really not silent. They're called dog whistle.
The GOP cheating exactly they way they accuse others of cheating? Shocking!
The NBC thing? I'm not watching. I'm watching uncle Joe.
I want that sign! It would give my neighbors a fit. Pendejo is more like dick/asshat. I love it. I want that on a t-shirt. BTW yesterday I saw a t-shirt that said: tRump, hijo de Putin. Ask Carlos about that one...
And can we cancel Lady G once and for all? We need those rent boys to come out with the receipts already.
XOXO
So pendejo isn't as dirty as it sounds? The more you know.
ReplyDeleteLara Trumpelstiltskin & Richard Grenell are friends of the LGBTQ+ community? Who would have guessed?
ReplyDelete@Treaders - don't remember that Two Ronnies sketch
I've said it before and I'm sure I'll say it again: San Geraldo and Carlos are brothers from a different mother!
ReplyDelete@TDM
ReplyDeleteI hope we’re getting close to the end of crazy.
@MM
I’d do a porn scene with him if he was wearing shorts the right way so …I dunno!=)
Yeah, Feinstein missed her chance. She might wanna leave office when she has the chance.
@AM
Lady Graham reeks of desperation.
Lotsa fucks I had to give today!
@Treaders
That’s right up Tuxedo’s alley!
@Six
Oh, the Carlos shorts DID have pockets, which was how I first noticed they were inside out!
GOP hypocrisy is real, and it’s everywhere.
I won’t want either because I already cast my goddamned vote!
Pendejo does mean, literally, from the Latin pubic hair, but morphed into stupid, but morphed into dick.
@DeedleDah
Don’t say it to a Spanish speaking person because it does mean something worse. The original intent was something stupid but not today ….
@Helen
Not one _____ is a true LGBTQ+ ally.
@Mitchell
Then you feel my pain, which is really joy because he makes me laugh!
Bobulah, I would never use language like that when talking to my Spanish speaking friends. They're way too nice. Besides, cussing in Spanish sounds way too pretty for the intent. To tell the truth, I really don't cuss in English, either.
ReplyDeleteYes...You are right THIS time...Carlos told me to say that...If ABC wants to invite Uncle Joe fine...And if NBC wants to invite the crazy one with a lot of makeup that is fine as well...We don't like it...But it is democracy...I may not like it but that is just the way the cookie crumbles...I will revise my rant...
ReplyDeleteI am going to stop reading the news and just wait for your newsfeed. But, hey... a little variety would be nice... I think Tuxedo should keep his regular spot... but, what if Carlos moved to be the weather boy? And did a little video... wearing those shorts - inside out or right side out or on the floor... I... I don't care. And I don't think anyone else will mind either. Why does Lindsey Graham look like he just got a mouthful of stinky cum?
ReplyDeletePS---Here are Rachel Maddow's thoughts---
ReplyDeletehttps://variety.com/2020/tv/news/rachel-maddow-criticizes-nbc-trump-town-hall-1234805590/
Tuxedo sure does have that one down right!
ReplyDeleteI want that Sign!!!
ReplyDeleteLet me beat a dead horse...
ReplyDeleteI revise my earlier statement. I should have thought it through. You are absolutely right NBC can do what it wishes. It's their network. But one would hope a little integrity would befall them.
Uncle Joe and Crazy Man were supposed to do a debate virtually because of COVID. This is what the debating commission decided. The Crazy Man said he didn't want to do it. He also claimed that they could cut him off if he acted like he did in the previous debate. So that was that. Uncle Joe's townhall was already on the books. It was scheduled. ABC did a similar one prior with The Crazy Man-- https://6abc.com/biden-town-hall-abc-news-trump-pulls-out-of-debate-backs/6870120/ -- NBC got in on the act because of ratings grab. So for where I sit, it is not democracy in action, it is a media company wanting to make a little money because of the ratings. Folks will watch because who can't be drawn to a train wreck...It's also rewarding bad behavior. Uncle Joe's folks wanted The Crazy Man's townhall to be rescheduled after theirs. But no! NBC followed the money. Integrity-No. So the question is why can't they do debate as planned. They are both showing up tonight. I heard the format of the debate this time around was townhall style.
@Dearest Deedles
ReplyDeleteI like cussing in Spanish because, most of the time, only Carlos knows what I'm saying!!
@VRC
Carlos said to say I was right?? Well well well ...
@uptonking
Careful what you wish for ... Carlos is looking through his shirts and weather maps as we speak!
@Michael
He's a smart cart, for sure.
@Dave
You and me both.
@VRC [again]
Network TV and integrity don't work well together.
I already voted, so Joe doesn't have to convince me, and I would never EVER support a racist and his agenda, so I won't listen to the Liar In Thief.
In Carlos's defense, it was early, who is really awake at that hour.
