I Didn't Say It

Markwayne Mullin, GOP Senator from Oklahoma, sharing some opinions on Matt Gaetz:

“You’ve gotta think about this guy. This is a guy that didn’t have—that the media didn’t give the time of day to after he was accused of sleeping with an underage girl. And there’s a reason why no one in the conference came and defended him—because we had all seen the videos he was showing on the House floor that all of us had walked away, of the girls he had slept with. He bragged about how he would crush E.D. medicine and chase it with energy drinks so he could go all night. This is obviously before he got married. And so, when that accusation came out, no one defended him. And then no one in the media would give him the time of the day. All of a sudden he found fame because he opposed the speaker of the House back in November. And he’s always stayed there. And he was never gonna leave until he got this last moment of fame … by going after a motion to vacate.”

Everyone knows Matty Gaetz is an underage girl f**king perv, but still it’s funny, and a bit sickening, that, if he did show his perverted videos in Congress, that no one in his own party every reported it.

The GOP, sick as they are, stick together because power is the end game.

Abby Phillip, CNN host, on the history of GOP Speakers:

“It was Republicans who, even prior to that vote that weekend, failed to pass their own bills to fund the government. But if you look at the recent history of Republican speakers, the cause of death becomes a little clearer. McCarthy, ousted. Paul Ryan, quit in disgust over his right flank. John Boehner, pushed out by the Freedom Caucus. Dennis Hastert, spent time in prison after admitting sexual abuse. And the hyper-partisan Newt Gingrich, who faced ethical complaints, resigned before his own caucus staged a rebellion. So, perhaps the issue isn’t actually Democrats, but the insatiable thirst for rebellion in the Republican conference.”

Bam! Nailed it. The GOP will eat themselves and the Democrats just need to keep showing it.

Pete Buttigieg, Secretary of Transportation, criticizing the Draft-Dodging-Fake-One-Term-Twice-Impeached-Currently-Four-Time-Criminally-Former-President, after a report surface that he tried to bar a severely wounded veteran from public appearances during his presidency:

“It’s just the latest in a pattern of outrageous attacks on the people who keep this country safe. And September puts me in a reflective mood because it’s actually tomorrow, nine years ago now, that I got back to South bend after my one tour in Afghanistan. I served with people who did five, six, seven tours, some of them after being injured. I served with a guy who had the fin of a rocket go through his triceps … and miraculously the rocket didn’t blow up and kill him. And he was eager to get back onto his next tour … I ran into someone I served with who basically had her leg shot off ... and she said to me that the Navy fixed her up just fine and she went right on into her next assignment. These are the kinds of people who deserve respect and a helluva lot more than that from every American and definitely from every American president. And the idea that an American president, the person to whom service members look as a commander in chief, the person who sets the tone for this entire country, could think that way or act that way or talk that way about anyone in uniform, and certainly about those who put their bodies on the line and sacrificed in ways that most Americans will never understand … I guess wounded veterans make [him] feel uncomfortable … But those are exactly the kind of people we should lift up because their commitment  could help unify the country. And we need voices, whether it’s ordinary people, servicemembers or political leaders who are interested in unifying not dividing Americans.”

General Mark Milley, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, claims Thing 45 was irritated after Luis Avila—who lost a leg and suffered brain damage after an IED attack in Afghanistan—sang at Milley’s 2019 welcome ceremony:

“Why do you bring people like that here? No one wants to see that, the wounded.”

In 2020, it was reported that Inmate # P01135809 said the Aisne-Marne American cemetery in France—where more than 2,000 American military members France are buried –was “filled with suckers” and that the more than 1,800 marines who died at Belleau Wood, a key WWI battle, were also “suckers” for getting killed.

The Inmate denied the allegations but cannot deny that, in 2015, he claimed that John McCain, the late US senator and navy veteran who spent nearly six years in a Vietnamese prisoner-of-war camp, was a “loser”, adding:

“He’s not a war hero. He’s a war hero because he was captured. I like people that weren’t captured.”

This from a man who never served because his feet hurt.

PS Pete for president!

Jasmine Crockett, Texas Democratic Representative, expressing her frustration with Republicans for their lack of concern over Thing 45's handling of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago while raging about Hunter Biden and impeachment:

“When you’re talking about impeachment, you’re talking about high crimes or misdemeanors. And I can’t seem to find the crime. And honestly, no one has testified of what crime they believe the president of the United States has committed. But when we start talking about things that look like evidence [like classified documents hidden in a bathroom at Mar-Illegal] they want to act like they’re blind. They don’t know what this is. These are our national secrets! Looks like in the sh**ter to me. This looks like more evidence of our national secrets on a stage at Mar-a-Lago. I will tell you what the president has been guilty of. He has unfortunately been guilty of loving his child unconditionally. I hope and pray that my parents love me half as much as he loves his child until they find some evidence. We need to get back to the people’s work, which means keeping this government open so that people don’t go hungry in the streets of the United States.”

Jasmine Crockett is that new breed of Democrats who have zeros fucks to give, and she’s showing the difference between a rightfully twice impeached Thing 45 and a real witch hunt by the GOP to Joe Biden.

This is how the Democrats need to respond.

Neil Cavuto, Fox News Business host, on the GOP’s impeachment “evidence”:

“For the better part of six hours, I have been following these hearings, taking an hour off to do my Fox Business show earlier today. I don’t know what was achieved over these last six plus hours. James Comer, the Oversight Committee chairman had said that there would be presented a mountain of evidence against Mr. Biden. But none of the expert witnesses today presented yet any proof for impeachment. What’s more, none of the witnesses testified today of direct knowledge of what Republicans have been claiming about Joe Biden. When you begin to trumpet what you have as the beginning of an explosive inquiry into the president of the United States to potentially remove him from office, you would think you would bring your A-game.”

Unless, as most people know, they have no game.

PS Cavuto is that one rare voice of reason in the Fox News cesspool where Hannity, Graham and Pirro swim.

Maxwell Frost, Democrat Representative from Florida, unloading on the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden:

This fake impeachment is based on desperate political calculation, not any evidence. They’re just asking more questions. We have one witness who has a lot of questions—Ms. O’Connor—one witness who knows something about accounting—Dubinsky –but has no real involvement in what’s going on—and Mr. Turley’s stopping here on his way to his next Fox News hit.”

As he spoke O’Connor could be seen on camera with her jaw agape, as if to be in disbelief at Frost’s dismissive remarks and yet she offered no rebuttal.

Cuz she ain’t got none.

  1. The GOP knows all about Gaetz, but they need his vote, so they will overlook. Abby's right, it's that small group of delusionists Newty Gingrich shit out that are devouring the Republican party. And everybody, except Republicans, knows the impeachment hearings are pure retaliation and nothing more.

  2. The GOP has turned the House into a complete and utter shit show at a clown circus. But, make no mistake, this is Steve Bannon's Paradise in the making --- and Putin's wet dream. I'd bet that if you dug deep enough you'd find that Putin puts a lot of money in Bannon's pocket. Each time Margery-No-Brains says the Dems are Communists, I'm more convinced the entire brainless MAGgot Caucus is serving Putin and collecting money from him.

    1. They are support Russia because their Hair Furor supports Russia; that speaks volumes.

  3. The Repugnant party are trying to indict President Biden just because they can, not because they have any evidence, because of evidence there is none. I wish someone would indict our Prime Minister of fiddling while London and the rest of the country burns.

  5. Like Kitara, Gaetz knows the Repugs have the receipts but they will not show them cause they'll lose them both (like the lost Cawthorn, remember?) and they cannot afford that right now. They need the numbers.
    Pete *licks* Buttigieg.
    There's new blood in the Dem ranks and it seems it's gonna raise good trouble.

  8. And so the "God Bless America" soap opera continues. There's never a dull week. With each passing month Pete Buttigieg gathers more experience and wisdom that hopefully will propel him into The White House one fine day.

    This Boomer/GenX Cusperer is loving the "Zero Fucks Dems." The MAGA GOP'ers have thrown away all pretense of polite and respectful political discourse. They need to be confronted and have their shit called out when they fling it like the pack of agitated chimpanzees that they are.

  13. 45 is a Draft Dodging Coward, even at his advanced Age he's walking like a Man with zero Foot problems and during the Disco Era he was always at the Clubs and Discos dancing on those alleged Bad Feet that prevented him from Serving his Country. In every way he disgusts me, he needs to FOAD.
