I Didn't Say It ...

Rob Halford, Judas Priest frontman, on marrying his now-husband Thomas after more than three decades together:

“I’d  given up asking when, suddenly on one of our night walks, [Thomas] goes, ‘I think we should get married.’ It was a very simple ceremony. Obviously, me and him, and an officiant. There were just four of us around the pool, around the cactus, the heavy metal cactus. And it was over in an instant. But it was just a beautiful, simple ceremony. It seems like you’ve completed something in your relationship [being married]. More than anything else, the commitment goes to another level when you get married. It’s a great thing to do. And if it doesn’t work, that’s life. But I think after being together for 35 years, it’s working. America is still incredibly homophobic. I’ve lived here for a long time and I’ve seen a lot happen since the ’80s, and it really gets me angry and upset.”

While the 74-year-old English musician — who came out publicly in 1988 — seems to be enjoying wedded bliss, he also expressed dismay at the lack of progress in LGBTQ+ acceptance in the heavy metal scene. Asked whether attitudes toward sexuality have changed over the years, Halford, who splits his time between the U.S. and the U.K., said that it depends on where you are.

Adam Kinzinger, politician, former GOP Representative from Illinois and political commentator, offering a plan to help Ukraine with Russian funds:

“Here’s an idea. The West has held about $300 billion in Russian assets. They should release $2 billion a day to Ukraine until Russia stops the war, or they disperse it all. The Russia will have to accept that the war has an additional real cost per day.”

It sounds like a gran idea!!! Even Russia, and Putin, understand a kick to the wallet!

Margaret Cho, comedian, calling out South Carolina GOP shrew Nancy Mace for using transphobia to advance her political career:

“Nancy Mace, you stupid bitch. The name ‘Mace’ is appropriate because every time you talk, it’s like pepper spray in my face. You are the worst. Every opportunity you get, you use to hurt trans people. Every time you open your mouth, trans people die. You’re killing trans people for no reason other than to further your political career. Like, you say you do this because you’re a survivor. You’re ‘a survivor’??! Fuck you. Like, who isn’t at this point? But you are the worst predator of all. Bottom of FormI don’t even think that you believe any of the things that you say. You’re just doing it to further your career, and that is the worst kind of thing.”

Cho gets Mace for exactly who she is, a hate-filled bigot spreading fear and lies to get elected. South Carolina can, and should, so better.

Gustavo Petro, President of Columbia, on Cankles at the UN last week:

“There’s total immunity for presidents attending the assembly., and the US government cannot condition the opinion of the US. The fact that the Palestinian authority was not allowed entry and that my visa was revoked for asking the US and Israeli armies not to support a genocide, which is a crime against humanity, demonstrates that the US government no longer complies with international law. The United Nations headquarters cannot continue to be in New York.”

The world is standing up to Cankles, where are the American people??

Speak up! Resist!

photo

Ana Navarro, cohost of The View and political commentator, on her attacks on Cankles:

“I will calm down when the corrupt, pathological liar, narcissist, misogynist who peddles racism and threatens American values domestically and America’s standing abroad, is out of the White House. Until then … I will be offended. I will be outraged. I will speak out.”

Be like Ana! Offended, outraged, and screaming!

photo

Eric Swalwell, California Democrat Congressman, on politics after Cankles:

“I don’t say this lightly, when we escape the [Felon] Hell, there needs to be a Presidential Crimes Commission. It should be made up of independent prosecutors who look at those who enabled a corrupt president.”

 I don’t want the Democrats becoming like the Cankles Retribution Lists, but there needs to be accountability for those in office who enabled a criminal to run roughshod over this country.

Jeff Hiller, out actor, on winning his first Emmy for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for Somebody, Somewhere:

“I know it’s a cliché to say you don’t think you’d win but every single article that came out said there was no chance in hell I would win. And I believed them! So when I heard my name called out, I took a beat to make sure it really was my name. I didn’t want to stand up and walk to the podium if I hadn’t won. That’s really something you can’t live down. {Winning an Emmy] seemed like a fun and glamorous thing to happen but I like my vision board to be full of goals that I can work towards with concrete steps. I have no control over winning an award. Plus, I had done two seasons of a show I was very proud of, and the show was never recognized, so I sort of thought we were too small to receive awards attention, so I just never expected this. Which is not to say that I am not very much enjoying this wild ride. The other best thing about getting this Emmy is seeing how genuinely supportive and kind people have been. Every time I look at that meme [of his competitors in the category, Michael Urie, Bowen Yang, and Coleman Domingo, applauding him with delight], I tear up. People have been so sincere when they say congratulations. It makes me feel like a part of a beautiful community that celebrates each other, and I couldn’t be happier to be part of it.”

I saw his win and the whole thing, from his expression to the faces in the audience was just sheer joy. I have never seen his show, never even heard of it actually, but the joy … aaaaaaah.

I Didn't Say It ...

Ana Navarro, political commentator and View cohost, taking Slovenian hooker Melanie to task about the "performative hypocrisy" of the letter she wrote to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin:

"You all, this falls under the category of stuff that's so hypocritical you almost can't believe it. I don't know if you all heard this, but in the [Felon]-Putin meeting, [The Felon] delivered a letter to Putin written by his wife [Melanie] and I'm going to read some of it to you because I think we should think about this, okay? So she writes in this letter, part of it:

'As leaders, the responsibility to sustain our children extends beyond the comfort of a few. Undeniably, we must strive to paint a dignity filled world for all so that every soul may wake to peace and so that the future itself is perfectly guarded. A simple yet profound concept Mr. Putin as I am sure you agree, is that each generation's descendants begin their lives with a purity and innocence which stands above geography, government, and ideology.’

Ignoring the painfully inept prose of ]Melanie]'s letter and the clumsy fumbling for poetic sounding phrases, it has to be pointed out deeply naive this letter was. Putin is a brutal, murderous dictator who has been waging a bloody war of territorial expansion for years now. The idea that he might be swayed by a poorly written letter by a First Lady with no diplomatic experience and no meaningful accomplishments is laughable. This was clearly an attempt by [Melanie] to nab headlines and make herself feel important. [But] … let's think about those words: a right to innocence and purity that stands about government, geography and ideology. And think about what her husband, what [The Felon] is doing to the children of immigrants in America and to U.S. citizen children of immigrants. How many of those children are living with the fear of their parents being dragged through the streets of America, their car windows smashed in, their parents beaten by masked men, and disappeared? How about the children in the LA school system that have been grabbed by ICE? How about the boy, the Brazilian boy in Massachusetts who was going to soccer practice when he was grabbed by ICE? How about the little girl with cancer, U.S. citizen little girl with cancer, whose parents were deported and she had to leave, putting in jeopardy her cancer treatment? How about all of the children in America—forget the children of immigrants even though that in itself sticks in my craw—but the children in America who are being denied SNAP benefits? How about the children all over the world who are not receiving U.S. aid because her husband's government decided that we shouldn't be feeding starving children all over the world? How about all of those kids? So, yeah, it strikes me as ridiculously hypocritical that [Melanie] is telling Putin to preserve the innocence and purity of Ukrainian children. Yay for her! That's a good thing. But you know maybe she should turn around and say the exact same thing to her husband because there are children in America crying, suffering, going to bed in fear, returning to homes that are abandoned and empty, not knowing where their next meal is coming from because of what her husband is doing. I say to [Melanie], start a little closer to home girl."

Ana, as usual, nails the ignorance and hypocrisy of Melanie … though we all know she never wrote that letter; it was clearly AI, and not Slovenian Hooker angling for a bigger chunk of cash in the prenup.

Gavin Newsom, on why The Felon isn’t sending the National Guard to real crime-infested cities:

“I think he should start with Shreveport, Louisiana, and Speaker Johnson’s district that has 6X’s plus the per capita murder rate of Nancy Pelosi’s San Francisco. What about the carnage, Mr. President, in Shreveport? Why aren’t you protecting the folks there? Eight of the top Ten murder states in this country are Red states What bullshit.”

Good Christian Mike Johnson, the porn watching pedophile protector doesn’t want y’all talking about his murderous district.

photo

Eric Swalwell, on the Putin Kiss Ass Summit with The Felon:

“If you’re a Republican in Congress you just saw a Kremlin Kiss Ass in the President of the United States. Somebody who squandered an opportunity to confront a ruthless dictator who is killing innocent children, and kidnapping innocent children, every single day. I don’t know what this meeting accomplished other than taking the Epstein files and inflation out of the news. It was embarrassing to watch. He even toasted Putin as if he was receiving a lifetime achievement award. A total … waste of time.”

Putin’s Bitch did as he was told.

Hakeem Jeffries, House Minority Leader, on hauling Border Barbie before Congress in 2026 :

“It’s my expectation that Kristi Noem will be one of the first people hauled up to Congress shortly after the gavels change hands to get a real understanding for the American people as to this conduct that has taken place: the lack of respect for due process, for the rule of law, the unleashing of masked agents on law-abiding immigrant communities, and the disappearing of people in some instances, to other countries without any real evidence that criminal behavior took place. All of this is going to require aggressive oversight activity.”

I would love seeing the adulterous dog killing border Nazi hauled before Congress and then sent to live in Kristi’s Koncentration Kamp with the alligators and the floods.

Wes Moore, Democratic Maryland Governor, responding to The Felon’s dig at him for not sending the Maryland National Guard to DC for a Deflection Publicity Stunt:

“I don’t listen to criticism from chicken hawks, people who talk tough and try to utilize people in uniform but have never had the courage to wear the uniform themselves. Our National Guard, I know what they’re trained on. I know what it requires when you’re asking someone to put their life at risk. Unlike the president of the United States, I’ve actually worn the uniform of this country. Unlike the president of the United States, I actually deployed overseas and fought on behalf of the United States of America. And so I do not need and will not accept any type of lecture from someone who the only uniform they have worn is a Brooks Brothers suit.” 

It should disgust anyone who served in our military that a draft-dodging rapist is Commander In Chief when he should be in prison.

That said: I get kinda tingly looking at Wes. Just sayin’.

I Didn't Say It

Yusef Salaam, Korey Wise, Raymond Santana and Kevin Richardson, four of the Central Park Five— Antron McCray could not attend—speaking at the DNC of being falsely accused of rape in 1989 and having The Felon suggest they be put to death:

“[The Felon] wanted us killed. He wanted us dead. We spent a combined 47 years in prison. We were exonerated after the perpetrator confessed and DNA proved it. Yet today, [The Felon] still stands  by his original call for us to be executed. HE WILL NEVER CGANGE. Together, on November 5, we will usher Kamala Harris into the White House and Americas will finally say goodbye to that hateful man.”

The Felon never, NEVER, admits he’s wrong, even when faced with proof. Facts don’t matter; he is right, always. Even when proven wrong.

photo

Megyn Kelly, Fox Entertainment has-been, on her podcast, calling journalist Kaitlyn Collins disgusting and a bitch:

“The media of course has been disgusting, you know, no one’s surprised. But it is kind of fun when it gets called out. And yesterday—or last week there was a viral clip of Kaitlan Collins, who CNN is trying to make into a star—I’m sorry, but she’s only a star with leftists and the fact that she has some roots in Alabama does not make her a fair and balanced reporter. I will submit for the record: Her biggest sin is not that she is biased, though she is, it’s that she’s boring. She’s extremely boring with no personality. I have a pro tip for her: Smile, try smiling every once in a while. Try not to be, like in your delivery, such a cold-hearted bitch all the time, because it gives people nothing to bond to.”

It sure sounds like Kelly is a woman-hating, lying PPOS podcaster jealous of another woman sitting atop a cable news network like she used to do when she was, in her own mind, relevant.

photo

Pete Buttigieg, on Fox News … well, Fox Entertainment, on The Felon’s presidency:

“He didn’t keep his promise of 6% economic growth. He broke his promise to pass an infrastructure bill. He even broke his promise to that J6 mob when he said, ‘I will be at your side when you march down to the Capitol.’ But he actually did keep two promises: He kept his promise to destroy the right to choose in this country, and he kept his promise on tax cuts to the rich. If you want to know what a second [Felon] term would look like, I would look at those rare promises that he actually managed to keep. He’s disavowed a lot of things. I don’t believe him. He lies all the time. Republicans who are in [his] personality cult look at [him] and say he’s perfectly fine even though he seemed unable to tell the difference between Haley and Pelosi, even though he’s rambling about electrocuting sharks and Hannibal Lecter. We don’t have that kind of warped reality on our side. Crime is down under Joe Biden and crime was up under [The Felon]. Now, I don’t know how often that gets reported on this network, so if you’re watching this at home, do yourself a favor and look up the data. Why would America want to go back to the higher crime that we experienced under [The Felon]?”

Listen to Pete; common sense and facts, not bull shiz and lies from The Felon and his ilk, er, ick.

Ana Navarro, speaking of The Felon at the DNC:

“Let’s be serious. [The Felon] and his minions call Kamala a communist. I know communism. I fled communism from Nicaragua when I was 8 years old. I don’t take it lightly. And let me tell you what communist dictators do. And it’s never just for one day. They attack the free press. They call them the enemy of the people like Ortega does in Nicaragua. They put their unqualified relatives in cushy government jobs so they can get rich off their positions like the Castros do in Cuba and they refuse to accept legitimate elections when they lose and call for violence to stay in power like Maduro is doing right now in Venezuela. Now you tell me something. Do any of those things sound familiar? Is there anybody running for president who reminds you of that?”

Ana used to be a Republican, and a conservative journalist, but something happened in 2016 that caused her to change her mind.

photo

Tammy Duckworth, Democrat Senator from Illinois, who lost both legs in the Iraq War, on another of The Felon’s anti-military speeches:

“[He] is despicable. He doesn’t deserve to be commander in chief. And certainly those remarks are consistent with where he’s always been. He thinks that we’re suckers and losers. Do voters want a five-time draft dodger who denigrates military men and women and our veterans and calls us suckers and losers, who doesn’t want to have his picture taken with amputee veterans of various conflicts to be the next commander in chief or are you going to have Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, who care deeply about veterans? It’s despicable what Republicans are doing. The same party that thinks that [The Felon], who dodged a draft five times, who thinks veterans are suckers and losers, that’s who they think is better than someone who served 24 years in uniform.”

The party of the military, the party of veterans, supports a man who dodged the draft five times because his feet hurt; a man who claimed staying safe from STDs was his own personal Vietnam; a man who belittled John McCain for his service; a man who stayed away from a ceremony honoring Americans who died on D-day because it was raining; and a man who has called soldiers “losers and suckers.”

photo

Chris Sununu, GOP New Hampshire Governor trying to explain away The Felon’s vile comments on recipients of the Congressional Medal of Honor:

“Yeah, they were asinine comments. There’s no doubt about that. Again, I don’t think they’re the first asinine comments former President Trump has ever made. I don’t think they’ll be a game changer in terms of the election. So to make these types of comparisons is so far afield, I don’t think it’s going to be a big politically, big politically in terms of moving votes. He said crazy things like this before. At the end of the day, he’s got to just focus on what Americans are feeling, which is the economy, the stresses, the border crisis, the migrant crisis.”

Ignore the military hating, racist, rapist, traitor, con artist behind the curtain?

No thank you.

photo

Hakeem Jeffries, House Minority Leader, on this election:

“I’m confident that we’re going to do everything that we need to do over the next few months to make sure that House Democrats take back the majority so the American people do not have to encounter that question [on House Republicans refusing to certify the election]. It is a reality that far too many of my extreme MAGA Republican colleagues in the House have engaged in election denial, conspiracy theories, and have tried to undermine the very fabric of our democracy and the peaceful transfer of power. That’s what Project 2025 is all about.”

As if you needed another reason to vote blue, howsabout making sure the certification of the election goes off without a hitch.

photo

Jerushah Duford, Billy Graham’s granddaughter, coming out for Kamala Harris:

“In 2016, when a man bragged about assaulting women, various leaders of my faith then propped up this man as a poster boy for godly manhood and leadership. This broke my heart as I have watched—quite frankly, for the last eight years—people who were curious about Jesus and His teachings [have] done a 180 and walked in the other direction from my faith.”

To be a person of faith, so-called faith, and throw your support behind a con artist, sexual predator, pussy grabber, racist rapist, shows everyone, including Franklin Graham, your true colors.

And it must make true Christians lose their minds.

I Didn't Say It

Jeanine Pirro, Fox News’ Otis the Drunk, on the news that a Patriots fan died after a stadium melee with Dolphins fans:

“In this world today, we’re all winners, okay? No one is being taught that, you know, that there’s a winner and there’s a loser. Everybody is a winner, everybody gets a trophy, that’s what’s going on in schools today. It’s almost like, then you go to a game and there really are losers. And it’s amazing that people who don’t even have skin in the game, they’re not even a part of the team, they’ve become so outraged that they are willing to kill somebody. And we shouldn’t have to see stabbings and beatings that end up in a homicide at a sporting event where people supposedly, as you say, go to forget their problems and to join other people ... [We] are in a world where there is a lack of civility, there is a lack of consequence, there is a lack of law enforcement. There is chaos and anarchy. There is no law and order anymore.”

This woman needs to a take a breathalyzer before opening her chardonnay-infused yap because the ignorance should be illegal.

PS Aunt Boozehound? No law and order hit a peak when your boy sent a mob to the capitol to try and overthrow an election.

Lauren Boebert Groper, lying about vaping in a theater … lying about taking photos in a theater … lying about singing loudly in a theater … lying about being groped in a theater … and lying about stroking her date’s dick in a theater, and blaming it on her divorce that she filed:

The past few days have been difficult and humbling, and I’m truly sorry for the unwanted attention my Sunday evening in Denver has brought to the community. While none of my actions or words as a private citizen that night were intended to be malicious or meant to cause harm, the reality is they did and I regret that. There’s no perfect blueprint for going through a public and difficult divorce, which over the past few months has made for a challenging personal time for me and my entire family. I’ve tried to handle it with strength and grace as best I can, but I simply fell short of my values on Sunday. That’s unacceptable, and I’m sorry. Whether it was the excitement of seeing a much-anticipated production or the natural anxiety of being in a new environment, I genuinely did not recall vaping that evening when I discussed the night’s events with my campaign team while confirming my enthusiasm for the musical. Regardless of my belief, it’s clear now that was not accurate; it was not my or my campaign’s intention to mislead, but we do understand the nature of how this looks. We know we will have to work to earn your trust back and it may not happen overnight, but we will do it. I’m deeply thankful to those in the 3rd District who have defended me and reached out this week and offered grace and support when I needed it the most. I’ve learned some humbling lessons these past few days but I vow moving forward, I will make you proud.”

As you can see, she’s only sorry she got busted for being a pathological liar and not for behavior that, as many pointed out, would have spawned countless outraged cultist headlines and hissy fits had it been a prominent LGBTQ person or a Democrat.

Fuck off, escort.

Ron DeSantis, leaping on the biggest “story” in right wing media today. Which is what clothes John Fetterman wears to work:.

“He wears like sweatshirts and hoodies and shorts, and that’s his thing. So he would campaign in that—which is your prerogative, right? I mean, if that’s what you want to do. But to show up in the United States Senate with that and not have the decency to put on proper attire? I think it’s disrespectful to the body, and I think the fact that the Senate changed the rules to accommodate that I think speaks very poorly to how they consider that. Look, we need this country, we need to be lifting up our standards in this country. Not dumbing down our standards in this country and this is an example why.”

I was going to say something but then Fetterman beat me to it:

I dress like he campaigns.”

Snap. But then he also added:

“[Aren't] aren’t there more important things we should be talking about rather than if I dress like a slob?”

Okay, I will say this: I don’t think Mister Go-go boots should be talking fashion.

photo

Jenna Ellis, traitor to America on January 6, still pissed about Inmate # P01135809’s lack of cash for her defense, now coming out against her former boss:

“I know him well as a friend, as a former boss, I have great love and respect for him personally. But everything that you just said resonates with me as exactly why I simply can’t support him for elected office again. Why I have chosen to distance is because of that, frankly, malignant narcissistic tendency to simply say that he’s never done anything wrong. And the total idolatry that I’m seeing from some of the supporters that are unwilling to put the Constitution and the country and the conservative principles above their love for a star is really troubling. And I think that we do need to, as Americans and as conservatives and particularly as Christians, take this very seriously and understand where are we putting our vote.”

Too little, too late, you little traitorous prom queen. You’re only saying this because he hasn’t hired you a lawyer or paid for your bond or taken you to McDonald’s for a post-arraignment Big Mac.

Sorry, not sorry, Jenna.

Ana Navarro, The View co-host, blasting Lauren Groper and others in the GOP for their Family Values hypocrisy:

“No [Bobo], you weren’t eccentric. You were X-rated! This was not a performance of Fifty Shades Of Grey, it was a performance of Beetlejuice. This weekend I was reading all this stuff and I was thinking to myself, ‘it’s like Republicans gone wild. You’ve got this woman—Boebert—getting kicked out because she was getting fondled in the middle of a matinee. Then you’ve got Kristi Noem, the governor of [South] Dakota, who’s allegedly in an affair with Corey Lewandowski, who’s also married—both of them are. Then you’ve got [Mr-Former-Fake-One-Term-Twice-Impeached-Currently-Four-Time-Criminally-Indicted-Not-My-President-Gurl …  hat tip to Randy Rainbow], who’s like 50 points ahead of everybody else. Cheated on his first wife with a second, on the second with the third, on the third with a stripper and a Playboy Bunny, who they had to pay hush money to. I’ll tell you what the problem with all of this is. It’s the hypocrisy! The hypocrisy of it all! God forbid a child see the fake boobies of a drag queen. Apparently, the fake boobies of a trash queen are OK.”

This latest bit of hypocrisy from the GOP proves that saying that every GOP accusation is an admission of guilt, because, look around, it’s not Democrats giving hand jobs in the theater, or cheating on their spouses for decades, or cheating on their three different spouses.

I Didn't Say It ...


David Tennant, actor and former  Dr. Who , slamming _____ on behalf of the Scottish people:

“When he was over here and he was talking about England and he was saying ‘I’m going out to Scotland for my golf course in Scotland cause people in London are protesting but obviously [in] Scotland they really like me.’ Can I say on behalf of the Scottish nation, we f***ing don’t?”

It’s hard to pinpoint anyone who really does like him, save the racists and the religious hypocrites.
Rob Reiner, comparing _____ to sitcom character Archie Bunker:

“People always say, ‘you could redo ‘All in the Family’ today,’ [but] I said ‘What do you mean? We’re living it.' We’ve got Archie in the White House.”

Except Archie had some redeeming qualities while _____ has none.
_____, Twitter attacking CNN’s Don Lemon:

“Lebron James was just interviewed by the dumbest man on television, Don Lemon. He made Lebron look smart, which isn’t easy to do. I like Mike!”

Basically, _____ took to Twitter to say that two black men are dumb.
Don Lemon, firing back on Twitter:

 “Who’s the real dummy? A man who puts kids in classrooms or one who puts kids in cages?”

Snap.
John McCain, accusing fellow GOP Senator Rand Paul of “working for Vladimir Putin” after Paul opposed a Senate unanimous consent request in support of Montenegro’s bid to join NATO and then left the room:

“You are achieving the objectives of Vladimir Putin...trying to dismember this small country which has already been the subject of an attempted coup. I note the senator from Kentucky leaving the floor without justification or any rationale for the action he has just taken. That is really remarkable—that a senator blocking a treaty that is supported by the overwhelming number, perhaps 98 at least of his colleagues, would come to the floor and object and walk away … The only conclusion you can draw when he walks away is he has no argument to be made. He has no justification for his objection to having a small nation be part of NATO that is under assault from the Russians. So, I repeat again, the senator from Kentucky is now working for Vladimir Putin.”

And I think that’s true of most in the Grand Old Party, er, or as Paul sees it, the старинная вечеринка.
Ivanka _____, wants y’all to know that kids in cages was a low point for her:

"That was a low point for me as well. I felt very strongly about that and I am very vehemently against family separation and the separation of parents and children so I would agree with that sentiment. Immigration is incredibly complex as a topic. Illegal immigration is incredibly complicated. I am the daughter of an immigrant, my mother grew up in communist Czech Republic, but we are a country of laws. She came to this country legally and we have to be very careful about incentivizing behavior that puts children at risk of being trafficked, at risk of entering this country with coyotes or making an incredibly dangerous journey alone. These are not easy issues, these are incredibly difficult issues and like the rest of the country, I experienced them actually in a very emotional way."

She was vehemently against it but said nothing. Complicit.
And this “coyote” business? Really, Ivanka? That’s like DeVos saying e need guns in schools because of grizzly bears.
You’re complicit, but here’s someone who said it better than me …
Ana Navarro, on The View, about Ivanka:

 “When Ivanka first came on the scene … I thought this was a great thing, I thought she’s going to soften up her father, is going to be a good, positive influence on her father. This act of, ‘I am vehemently against this, vehemently against that, but at the same time I remain in this complicit administration and I cash in and laugh all the way to the bank, getting patents in China, and selling stuff here and selling stuff there.' The act is getting old.”

Ivanka is a pandering feckless asshat like Daddy.
Don’t let her posturing and calm demeanor fool you; she’s as guilty as the rest of that Klan.

I Didn't Say It ...

Susan Bromother of Heather Heyer, who was killed in Charlottesville last week, on _____:

“I have not and now I will not. I’m not talking to the president now. I’m sorry, after what he said about my child. It’s not that I saw somebody else’s tweets about him. I saw an actual clip of him at a press conference equating the protesters, like Ms. Heyer, with the KKK and the white supremacists. You can’t wash this one away by shaking my hand and saying ‘I’m sorry.’ I’m not forgiving for that.”

This woman is one of my new heroes, just like her daughter.
James Murdoch, CEO of 21st Century Fox, is giving $1 million to the Anti-Defamation League, after _____’s comments on KKK, Neo-Nazis, and white supremacists:

“These events remind us all why vigilance against hate and bigotry is an eternal obligation — a necessary discipline for the preservation of our way of life and our ideals. The presence of hate in our society was appallingly laid bare as we watched swastikas brandished on the streets of Charlottesville and acts of brutal terrorism and violence perpetrated by a racist mob. I can’t even believe I have to write this: standing up to Nazis is essential; there are no good Nazis.”

It really is that simple, and yet the man in the White House cannot seem to grasp it.
Jerry Falwell Jr., a rabid _____ supporter, defending the Bigot-In-Chief for not calling Charlottesville a terrorist attack:

“[He] has inside information I don’t have. [He] doesn’t say what’s politically correct, he says what’s in his heart…and sometimes that gets him in trouble. He’s not focus grouping every word he says.”

He’s pandering to his base of racists masking themselves as evangelicals like Falwell.
And, in response to Falwell’s _____-Love, Liberty University graduates are calling on fellow alumni to take a stand against him by returning their diplomas, and by publicly “revoking all ties, all support present and future.”
Ah, Free Speech.
Paula White, televangelist, and one of _____’s key spiritual advisers, saying that opposition to  _____ is, wait for it, opposition to God:

“Thank goodness. In other words, he’s not a polished politician. In other words, he’s authentically—whether people like him or not, he’s been raised up by God because God says that He raises up and places all people in places of authority. It is God that raises up a king, it is God that sets one down and so when you fight against the plan of God, you’re fighting against the hand of God.”

I am not a religious person, and I don’t wish to harp on those who are, but this loon needs to have God lay Her hands on her because she is all kinds of crazy.
Paul Ryan, GOP Speaker of the House, on doing nothing about censuring _____ for expressing support for those nice white supremacists and neo-Nazis:

“[Censure] would be so counterproductive. If we descend this issue into some partisan hackfest, into some bickering against each other, and demean it down to some political food fight, what good does that do to unify this country? … We want to unify this country against this kind of hatred and this kind of bigotry. I think that would be the absolute worst thing we should do.”

Oh, so let me get this queer, Speaker, when someone praises white supremacists and Neo-Nazis and the Klan we should just smile and let it go?
Yeah, that worked in Germany didn’t it, when the populace looked the other way as Hitler began denigrating the Jews and then rounding them up for a ride to the camps.
I get it, _____ donors gave you lots of cash for your reelection and you don’t wanna make him mad, so you sell your soul.
Oh, and before I forget, ‘Fuck off.’
Tim Sutton, Alamance County North Carolina Republican Commissioner, thinks Confederate monuments should stay put and, naturally, has an interesting take on slavery:

“I will never vote to do anything to take that statue or monument away from here for whatever reason. If it comes down, it goes back up. To heck with facts. The emotions have just gone haywire. I am not going to be a victim of political correctness. I am just not going to do it. Label me all you want, say what you will about me. I am not ashamed of my great-grandfather. He did what he did. It is my understanding that when he died, from Sarah, my grandmother, that some guys on the farm, you can call them slaves if you want to, but I would just call them workers, that they raised a good bit of my family. When the time came, my great-grandmother gave them land. I am not going to be an assault on logic, an assault on the history of this country and the heritage of this area and this country. Not going to do it.”

Workers. You know, stolen from their homes and sailed across an ocean and sold to the highest bidder to work for free and be beaten and raped and tortured and sold again if need be.
This asshat, and his view of history—he also said slaves were happy because they had a place to live—is the exact reason why these monuments should be removed from public spaces.
Hell, Tim Sutton shouldn’t be allowed in public either.
James Clapper, former Director of National Intelligence, on _____’s fitness to serve:

“It’s hard to know where to start. It’s just so objectionable on so many levels. You know, I toiled in one capacity or another for every president since and including John F. Kennedy through President Obama and I don’t know when I’ve listened and watched something like this from a president that I found more disturbing … Having some understanding of the levers of power that are available to a president if he chooses to exercise them, I found this downright scary and disturbing … I really question … his fitness to be in this office. I also am beginning to wonder about his motivation for it, maybe he is looking for a way out ... This behavior and this divisiveness, and the complete intellectual, moral and ethical void that the president of the United States exhibits. How much longer does the country have to endure this nightmare?”

I hope the GOP is beginning to think about impeachment.
I hope _____’s wondering if he could, and should, just walk away because, clearly, he’s unfit and unhinged, but, people who are unhinged don’t realize that and his delusions may just drag us further down.
Ben Ferguson, conservative radio host, defending _____’s insane rant in Arizona after Ana Navarro called the “president” unhinged:

“I think people that criticize the president and they constantly say, well, he’s unpresidential or he’s unhinged or he is outside the realm. The same people that are saying that are the ones that are tweeting things like I think the president has dementia or I think it’s time to unseat the president or I think it’s time to impeach him. If you don’t like the president, it doesn’t mean that you have to go to personal attacks or to somehow say that his mind is not sane.”

Uh, asshat, that’s exactly what it means when a man calls himself a unifier and then divides the country into racists and non-racists; haters and non-haters; us and them.
Ana Navarro, Republican and CNN commentator, responding to Ferguson:
“What I said was that the only defensible excuse, the only defensible explanation is if he is not mentally well because if he is, then he is just such an incredible, self-centered, narcissistic, unfit jerk that it makes it that much worse. This is what I’m talking about. The only thing that would make it defensible is if he really is not well. If sometime later in the future we find out he has something. I’m not saying he has it.”
Look, the man says one thing, then lies about it, and then calls anyone who calls out his lies lairs.
He blatantly lied about his own response to Charlottesville, and if he did it on purpose he’s a lunatic, if he did it because he has no idea what he says from one minute to the next, he’s insane.
