I Didn't Say It ...

Cindy McCain, on being censured by the Arizona GOP for her support of Joe Biden and marriage equality:

“I’m not surprised by the continuous insults and personal attacks from Arizona GOP Chairman Kelli Ward. She’s shown how attacking Republicans like me can impact elections—her involvement in both Senate elections to replace Jeff Flake and my husband John McCain, two regular targets of her personal attacks, resulted in Democrat wins. As Chairman of the AZGOP she managed to turn Arizona blue in November for the first time since 1996. Maybe she should be reminded that my husband never lost an Arizona election since his first win in 1982; he and Governor (Doug) Ducey are the last two Republicans to win statewide races in Arizona. Now Ward sides with Congressmen (Paul) Gosar and (Andy) Biggs on supporting the mob of angry Trump extremists who attacked our Capitol, disrupted our constitutional elections process and threatened our Democracy.”

Um, it looks like you shouldn’t come for Cindy unless she sends for you.

David Hogg, Parkland survivor and gun control activist, on that video that surfaced this week of Representative, and QAnon nutbag, . Marjorie Taylor Greene stalking him on the streets of Washington D.C. and telling him she has “a concealed carry permit “and carries a gun:

“What I always says to myself is, ‘if they shoot me they prove my point.’ The reality is they can’t kill a movement. It’s funny when they say we’re paid off. There’s no amount of money you could ever pay us to do this work because it’s not why we do it. None of us want to be doing this, but we have to, because sadly, corrupted elected officials like Marjorie Taylor Greene are in Congress and would rather choose to protect guns than children. It’s just a horrific reality.”

Hogg appeared on CNN last night and urged people to Text Resign to 954954 to add your name to a petition to have Greene removed from office.

It’s legit.

Nikki Haley, former UN Ambassador, who once rightly said the former present is the worst thing that could happen to America now wants us to leave him alone after he incited a violent mob to attack the Capitol:

“Does he deserve to be impeached? Absolutely not. .. They’re trying to just kick him out the door. … I don’t even think there’s a basis for impeachment. The idea that they’re even bringing this up. They didn’t even have a hearing in the House. Now they’re going to turn around and bring about impeachment yet they say they’re for unity… I mean, they beat him up before he got into office. They’re beating him up after he leaves office. I mean at some point I mean give the man a break. I mean move on … ”

Give the man a break? He incited a riot that attacked our Democracy because he was butt-hurt he’s a loser?

I still remember South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley saying that the former president would be the worst thing to happen to this country and now she carries his water.

Off is the direction Nikki Haley should fuck.

Jimmy Gomez, California Democratic Representative, on introducing a resolution to expel QAnon nutbag Marjorie Taylor Greene from Congress:

“As if it weren’t enough to amplify conspiracy theories that the September 11 attacks were an inside job and the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School was staged, a string of recent media reports has now confirmed that Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene had previously supported social media posts calling for political violence against the Speaker of the House, members of Congress, and former President Barack Obama. Such advocacy for extremism and sedition not only demands her immediate expulsion from Congress, but it also merits strong and clear condemnation from all of her Republican colleagues, including House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. Her very presence in office represents a direct threat against the elected officials and staff who serve our government, and it is with their safety in mind, as well as the security of institutions and public servants across our country, that I call on my House colleagues to support my resolution to immediately remove Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene from this legislative body.”

Sadly, I don’t think the GOP will ever condemn someone like this lunatic, again, out of fear of retribution. They’d rather the country fall into the hands of these tools than grow a pair of balls and stand up for what’s right.

Still, good on Jimmy Gomez for leading the charge.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, New York Representative, on the GOP in the wake of the last occupant of the White House, and the party’s refusal to condemn—and instead, embrace—the violent right-wing QAnon and MAGAt forces:

“There are no consequences in the Republican caucus for violence. No consequences for racism. No consequences for misogyny. No consequences for insurrection. And no consequences means that they condone it. It means that that silence is acceptance. Far from distancing themselves from the most extreme elements of [his] base now that he’s out of power, Republicans are still attempting to wield those violent and racist forces for political gain.”

Again, they’re looking out for their cushy jobs and not the country and the traitors within their own party who fed the fires that attacked the Capitol.

Which is why … Vote Blue, No Matter Who.

Mitt Romney, on the Republicans who say an impeachment trial would further divide the country:

“I say, first of all, have you gone out publicly  and said that there was not widespread voter fraud and that Joe Biden is the legitimate President of the United States? If you said that, then I’m happy to listen to you talk about other things that might inflame anger and divisiveness.”

It’s funny the GOP sees impeachment as divisive but don’t see insurrection the same way. It’s because they are also terrified of getting primaried by the one-term twice impeached loser that they will not stand up for America.

And that’s the divide.

  1. That "lady" is so obviously insane,
    I'm astonished that she isn't in
    an asylum being treated.

  2. Good on Cyndy McCain for socking it to that stupid MTG female who really needs to be in a mental hospital if what I've heard about the things she supports and believes in are true.

    And as for Nikki Haley; wasn't ripping babies out their mothers' arms enough for you? Clearly not. The man you support did more than tarnish the name of America in the eyes of the world; he spat on it, sold it and then gave it away to one V Putrid. Save Navalny you stupid cow rather than the Don of Mar-e-lago

  3. Spin, spin, spin, sugar... that's what the Repugs are all about. That's all they have left. The same old arsenal of BS and rhetoric they used during the Obama administration they are unearthing for now. They need to be called on it. It needs to be labeled what it is - political positioning and pandering. And they all need to be held accountable. When George W. stole the election - we didn't like it, but accepted it. Accepted him. Held our noses. Found ourselves a better candidate who could clean up the stench the repugs leave behind EVERY TIME they are in office. Granted, with George W. - they were robbing the country blind right out in the open... they keep getting braver and braver. And that's why they now MUST be held accountable. I am done sitting quietly and waiting our turn. This is our turn. And we better be doing some serious work in order to right the wrongs the repugs continue to perpetrate. AOC is 100% correct - their silence makes them complicit. They are not patriots. They are not real Americans. They are selfish, self-centered, bigots who need their comeuppance. And that includes Nikki two-faced Haley. Good for Gomez. Go after them all! If the repugs want to continue as a political force? They better put Ms. Cindy in charge. And David Hogg puts it in a nutshell... they value guns and money more than children and people's welfare. F 'em all!

  5. That sorry excuse for a US rep Marjorie Taylor didn't like my comments so much to her on Instagram and yet again was told I was almost suspended again. She's probably the most dangerous person in Congress....witnesses in and out of the house have seen her and heard things from her two lips...and YET.....SHE IS STILL IN THE HOUSE. Nancy best get bigger balls and go after her and get her out!!!!!!! That she is even still there is appaulling

  6. AOC is right. There are no consequences for the Rethugs. Their constituents are as much trash as they are so, yeah. Cindy DGAF and I'm with her.
    That Taylor Greene woman needs to go. But she won't. The Dems need to start doing some cleanup. And yes, Nimrata, Cheeto needs to be sent to jail. Off she should go, that's right.
    David Hogg has more integrity in one finger than the whole GOP, BTW.

    XOXO

  7. Nikki Haley has major ambitions.

  8. Good for David Hogg. He's an inspiration. And good for Mitt Romney. (I never thought I'd be saying that!) Republicans (like Nikki Haley) are defending Trump because as you said they're scared of getting primaried from the right. They're terrified of the Trump cultists. God forbid they should grow a spine and stand up for what's right.

  9. Ship Nikki Haley and that insane woman from Georgia off to Siberia.

  10. What a barf-o-rama! Civility and common sense (I've heard of the term "common sense" as in "Deedles you have no common sense at all!") have all but died. I am now hearing Taps in my mind. I'm going to put on LaBelle's Lady Marmalade to shake me out of this mood.

  11. @TDM
    And yet she was elected to office.

    @Helen
    Cindy and Nikki are two different Republicans; one with conviction and the other ... Nikky Haley.

    @uptonking
    The GOP will cannibalize itself over their new members, the MAGAts and QAnon nutbags, and the old guard. Good.

    @MM
    Greene has been trying to scrub her social media of some of her most asinine, idiotic, hate-filled, insane posts. But, as we all know, nothing on the internet truly goes away.

    @AM
    They're killing themselves.

    @Six
    Your last line. Everything.

    @Debra
    And yet no conviction or honor or decency. Perfect for the GOP.

    @Steve
    Hogg could teach many in the GOP, and even some Democrats, a thing or two.
    Nikki was a horrid governor here in SC and I remember her bashing ______ in 2015; but he gave her a job and now she's one of his goose-steppers.

    @krayolakris
    I like your style!

    @Deedles
    The GOP doesn't know from civility and common sense and accountability!

  12. Never been an AOC fan, but she speaks truth there.
    Greene needs to go away!

  13. Good stuff, Bob. I am still not sure how Marjorie Taylor Greene is still in office. She is a whacko. Thanks again for Kyle's bookmark order. If you can send me an email at mshifley@gmail.com with your address, he will get the Tuxedo bookmark shipped. Have a good weekend.

  14. Cindy knows a bullseye when she sees one.

    Hogg deservers much better.

    Haley? You have to remember, she's one of those who believe he was sent by God to give them what they want.

  15. @whkattk
    AOC has zero fucks to give. I like that about her.

    @MrShife
    It boggles the mind how she was elected. I sent my address; hopefully you got it?

    @Dave
    Haley did one good thing: she took down the Confederate flag at the statehouse, but then the blood form the Charleston church shooting was still wet, so is was probably more of a photo op.

Say anything, but keep it civil .......
