I Didn't Say It

Nikki Haley, continuing to step in it even as she’s trying to step out of it:

“I should have said slavery right off the bat, but if you grow up in South Carolina, literally in second and third grade you learn about slavery. You grow up and you have—you know, I had Black friends growing up. It is a very talked about thing. We have a big history in South Carolina when it comes to, you know, slavery, when it comes to all the things that happened with the Civil War, all that. I was over—I was thinking past slavery and talking about the lesson that we would learn going forward. I shouldn’t have done that. I should have said slavery. But in my mind, that’s a given, that everybody associates the Civil War with slavery. We were the only Indian family in a small, rural southern town. We weren’t White enough to be White, we weren’t Black enough to be Black. They didn’t know who we were, what we were, or why we were there. It was not just slavery that was talked about, it was more about racism that was talked about. It was more about, you know, we had friends, we had Black friends, we had White friends, but it was always a topic of conversation, even among our friends, and in the south, we’re very comfortable talking about it because we know that’s what it is.”

Dear God, this woman just digs deeper into the feces every time she speaks …

“You grow up and you have—you know, I had Black friends growing up.”

Yes, I am not racist and I don’t say ignorant things because I had Black friends growing up.

“I was over—I was thinking past slavery and talking about the lesson that we would learn going forward.”

Oh, Nikki, so good that you can get past thinking about slavery while millions of people of color are reminded of that every single fucking day with the way they are treated in this country still.

“We had Black friends, we had White friends, but it was always a topic of conversation, even among our friends, and in the south, we’re very comfortable talking about it because we know that’s what it is.”

If you’re so comfortable why are you still trying to fix your mistake? And if you know what ‘it’ is—and by the way it’s racism and bigotry and ignorance—you could say it.

Fucking moron. You are so transparent.

Mike Johnson, self-professed God’s favorite Christian Nationalist Speaker of the House, on President Biden’s proposed $14 billion package to fund border security:

 “That won’t help. That won’t do a darn thing. It’s about changing the policy. The White House seems not to understand that.”

Huh. No money to try and solve the problem, but Mike will bitch and moan and kvetch about the border and then take a group of Republicans to the border on the taxpayer dime for a publicity stunt.

It almost sounds like faux-Christian Mike Johnson doesn’t care about border security unless he can use it as a weapon to attack the president.

Michael Knowles, Daily Wire host, saying … oh who knows WTF he is saying:

“Mickey Mouse has to become a Nazi … because Disney is a very, very evil corporation that wants to trans your kids and fill their heads with all sorts of crazy ideas, and Disney’s gotta go … You heard all the Disney executives talking about their not-so-secret LGBTLMNOP agenda. You’ve seen what Disney has done in recent years, so much so that the governor of Florida had to take political action against them to stop Disney from trying to interfere in the democratic process in Florida to stop the libs from transing your kids. OK? Remember what they did to that cartoon frog? There was this cartoon frog that a regular cartoonist had made … and then these guys on 4chan turned the frog into a Nazi … And we can do the same with Mickey Mouse. It’s not just enough to make Mickey Mouse a serial killer as you’re seeing in these movies. Mickey Mouse has to become the most odious kind of symbol in the entire world.”

Sorry, asshat, the most odious symbol in the entire world is the loons of the GOP and the MAGAt cult and people who think you can “trans” children..

Adam Kinzinger, former GOP Representative, on the Cult and their Leader:

“The whining, weak, brittle, fragile, delicate. Feeble, puny victim mentality of the MAGA movement is one of the most transparently sad, snowflakey and pitiful movements really in American history. The incessant whining followed by the usual deflection of some harsh attack that reasonable adults would eschew has really reached a boiling point in my tolerance of typical and normal political dialogue. The MAGA movement has become an infectious disease of helplessness and victimhood unlike any I can remember. [Thing 45] himself is a master victim, suing everyone, yelling loudly about how he is a poor victim of the ‘deep state.’ Rinos, DOJ, FBI. China, Germany, Mars, the Sun and any other possible force of nature. But his victim mentality has spread to the GOP at large, and it’s the most annoying and destructive force in the nation. Seriously, ihis infection has destroyed the GOP.”

Good, I say, good. When you align with traitors and criminals and thieves you get what you deserve.

I wait for the day when Thing 45 is just a blemish on America; s ass and those sycophants in the GOP try to redeem themselves.

Not happening, asshats.

Jerry Carl, Alabama’s GOP Representative, on the move in several states to take Thing 45 off the ballot for inciting an insurrection:

“I’ve just come to the conclusion this is the new COVID for 2024. In 2020, they had us locked down. We couldn’t get out and vote. We could do all this absentee voting. Everything was built around fear. So now the new fear and what the Democrat Party is trying to do here is to tear Trump down and say he’s unqualified to run for this office. That is not their job to determine that—that’s we, the voters. No one has the right to be taken off a ballot because a secretary of state or someone in a position thinks they can do it. It just doesn’t work that way. So we’ve got to push back. We’ve got to be united, Republicans and Democrats, on this issue. If not, you’re going to start seeing Biden taken off tickets in Republican states. And where I’m from, two wrongs don’t make a right. So, I’m not proposing that we do that at all. If anything, let’s deal with what we’ve got right now.”

Um, Jerry? Asshat? Biden didn’t incite an insurrection or try to overturn a free and fair election so removing him from a ballot is just sour grapes from the GOP whiny bitches.

Of note, last week Carl claimed to have paid $5.72 for two apples at a Washington DC grocery store but never mentioned the store or showed a receipt.  Also, Carl was first elected in November 2020 and his first official act was to vote against certifying Biden’s win; in 2021 he signed a demand for Biden to take a cognitive test.

Jen Psaki, MSNBC host, on Mike Johnson’s involvement with The Big Lie:

“I would love to know what passage in the Bible told Speaker Mike Johnson to become one of the most important architects behind [Thing 45’s] effort to overturn the 2020 election. Was it God whispering in his ear to ignore the Constitution?”

Well, clearly it was god—again, little g—because Mike believes god put him in power because Mike is, um, insane?
