I Didn't Say It ...


Anderson Cooper, CNN, blasting _____ for his asshatted assertion that the U.S. is “in a good place” when it comes to COVID-19:

“[W]e’re in a good place? Those are his actual words. I didn’t actually believe it when I first heard it, but it’s on tape. California, Hawaii, Idaho, Missouri, Montana, Oklahoma and Texas on Tuesday shattered their previous daily record highs for new cases. The biggest jumps occurred in Texas and California, the two largest U.S. states, with more than 10,000 each. [But] the man whose every decision is based on what will get him reelected, what will energize his base and appeal to people’s most primal fears, is saying that governors and school officials don’t want schools open because of politics, because it benefits them politically. … There is no political benefit keeping schools closed and kids upset and parents angry and parents unable to work because their kids are stuck at home. Oh, yeah, politically that’s going to serve you really well by doing that. Even as new modeling from the University of Washington today forecasts 208,000 people in this country may be dead of COVID-19 by Election Day. Which the president still does not seem to think is all that bad. Because he is still repeating the same falsehoods as ever about testing and mortality, which fell for a while, but is once again sadly, sickeningly, ticking up. … We’re so deep down a well of lies it’s hard to realize how dark this is.”

The Occupant of the White House is so desperate not to be seen as a loser in November that he is willing to watch people die.
And if Paul Manafort and Michael Cohen can be let out of prison because of the horrors of COVID how is putting children back in schools considered safe?
Peter Navarro, White House economic advisor and asshat, saying—without a stitch of evidence—that the Chinese Communist Party “spawned” coronavirus in a lab and then sent infected citizens to “seed” COVID-19 in the U.S:

“They spawned the virus. They hid the virus. They sent hundreds of thousands of Chinese nationals over here to seed and spread the virus before we knew. The dateline is November. They spawned the virus, probably came out of the biological lab. For two months, they hid the virus from the world and the possibility of a pandemic, behind the shield of the World Health Organization. While they did that, they vacuumed up the world’s protective equipment, including 2 billion masks. While they were preventing any domestic travels from Wuhan to Beijing or Shanghai, locking down their transportation network, they freely sent hundreds of thousands of Chinese nationals on aircraft to go around the world. …They deliberately allowed Chinese nationals to come to the United States, Italy, and everywhere in between, who were infected, while they were locking down their own transportation network.”

How is it that these so-called officials can blatantly lie about the virus? And, let’s say China did create the virus and spread it around the world… please explain how the rest of the world has flattened the curve while ours skyrockets.
Adam Perry, hot gay Broadway actor and dancer, on suffering from symptoms of COVID-19 four months after being diagnosed:

“It’s quite terrifying to be honest. There’s nothing like the feeling of not being able to breathe. It’s not like getting the flu or a cold virus, where you start getting better after a few days, and your trajectory is on the way up. With this thing, I would feel better for a few days, and then it would just come and smack me again. In the very beginning, I had two days of symptoms, and then I felt like a million bucks for three days, so I thought I was off the hook, I thought I had beat it, but then it came back with a vengeance. I’ve been doing eight shows a week for 15, 20 years. I’ve been doing eight-minute tap dance numbers. My lungs have always been great. But now the capacity is not the same, and I’m just praying daily that they’ll get back to normal and I’ll be able to do those things again. I cried watching the news … Cases are spiking. The president makes jokes about coronavirus. People shame others for wearing masks. The country is making it a partisan issue. It’s not a partisan issue, it’s a human issue, we have to take care of each other. It really is about teamwork with this thing, and we all have to come together, wear a mask, socially distance for as long as we can until there’s a vaccine, because this thing has an infinite variable of outcomes for people. There’s short term, long term, and we just don’t know, so it’s just really important that people take care of each other, and I just really don’t want other people to have to experience what I experienced.”

From the mouth of a victim … listen.
Laura Ingraham, stoking fear because she’s a White Supremacist and that’s how they roll:

“Some folks are still trying to pretend that all of this mayhem will stop if we just let the Democrats have the White House. Well, we have the Democrats in power in Atlanta, in Chicago, in New York, in Baltimore and beyond and beyond. What’s happened? So, this thinking is foolish and naive. The Democrats have shown they’re utterly unwilling to restrain the hard left from seizing property and committing violence. And as for the culture wars, why would the radicals stop when they think they are winning? So, ignore the folks who say that it just gets better when we let the Democrats have more power. The only way this situation gets better is for Democrats to lose, and lose so often that they are forced to apologize for their relentless slandering of our nation’s history, and by extension, the majority of our citizens who still unapologetically love this country and still believe that it’s worth celebrating.”

People like Ingraham and Carlson and _____ stoke fear and hate in this country and then point the finger at those trying to fix the problem.
People like Ingraham and Carlson and _____ are the problem.
John Kennedy, GOP Senator from Louisiana, saying Americans should build a fallout shelter if Joe Biden wins the presidency.

 “Well, the vice president says he will transform America. He will. And the American people will pay a fearsome price. His foreign policy is hugs and hot cocoa for America’s enemies. If he’s elected, my advice to you is to build a fallout shelter. Build a fallout shelter. You’ll need it. Weakness invites the wolves. His domestic policy, he wants you—he wants all of us to surrender our money and our freedom, every bit of it, to Washington.”

Perhaps we can all hide in the bunker _____ uses to hide from scary people?
Siddown, asshat.
Bubba Wallace, NASCAR drive, asking Americans to meet hate with love after _____ falsely accused him of carrying out a "hoax" involving a noose found in his garage stall:

“Your words and actions will always be held to a higher standard than others. You have to be prepared for that. You don’t learn these things in school. You learn them from trials and tribulations, the ups and downs this crazy world provides. You will always have people testing you. Seeing if they can knock you off your pedestal. I encourage you to keep your head held high and walk proudly on the path you have chosen. Never let anybody tell you [you] can’t do something! God put us all here for a reason. Find that reason and be proud of it and work your tails off every day towards it! All the haters are doing is elevating your voice and platform to much greater heights! Last thing, always deal with the hate being thrown at you with LOVE! Love over hate every day. Love should some naturally as people are TAUGHT to hate. Even when it’s HATE from the POTUS. Love wins”

HATE from POTUS! Preach, Bubba.
_____, Racist-In-Chief, n Confederate Flag:

“My stance is very simple: It’s freedom of speech. You do what you do. It’s freedom of speech. NASCAR can do whatever they want, and they’ve chosen to go a certain way, other people choose to go a different route.”

But you said it wasn’t Free Speech when Kaepernick took a knee, so it appears that it’s only Free Speech to _____ when it’s also Hate Speech.

I Didn't Say It ...


Bubba Wallace, who fought to have the Confederate flag removed from NASCAR, on finding a noose hanging in his garage stall at Talladega Superspeedway:

“Today’s despicable act of racism and hatred leaves me incredibly saddened and serves as a painful reminder of how much further we have to go as a society and how persistent we must be in the fight against racism. … Together our sport has made a commitment to driving real change and championing a community that is accepting and welcoming of everyone. Nothing is more important and we will not be deterred by the reprehensible actions of those who seek to spread hate. As my mother told me today, ‘They are just trying to scare you.’ This will not break me, I will not give in nor will I back down. I will continue to proudly stand for what I believe in. … There is only [one] driver from an African American background at the top level of our sport. I am the [one]. You're not gonna stop hearing about ‘the black driver’ for years. Embrace it, accept it and enjoy the journey.”

Stand strong, Bubba, and we’ll stand with you.
PS The FBI’s noticeably short investigation says the noose has been in that garage long before it ever became Bubba’s garage. But, you know, that’s still a sick thing to do …
Oh, and because I’m shallow, let me just say that Bubba really revs my engine.
Rudy Giuliani, on the Black Lives Matter movement:

“This is an orchestrated effort—it is no longer a protest about Mr. Floyd. That ended a long time ago. This is an anarchist—organized anarchists, supported with a lot of money. We had outbreaks in about 30 cities over the weekend. There were well over 100 people wounded with guns and 25 Americans killed over the weekend. That didn’t happen accidentally … That’s part of a plan and we better wake up to it and we better stop being silly. People who say they are favorable to Black Lives Matter—Black Lives Matter wants to come and take your house away from you. They want to take your property away from you.”

I knew he was old school, but an old school racist peddling the lie that the big black man is coming for your [a white person’s] home?
Note to Rudy, the Black Lives Matter movement started long before George Floyd and will go on long after George Floyd, and Rayshard Brooks, and Breonna Taylor, until something is done about police shooting black people at a far higher rate than white people.
Cuz that looks like racism.
And you sound like a racist.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, former California GOP governor, on wearing masks:

This is 100% the right move. This will help us beat this terrible virus. The science is unanimous - if we all wear masks, we slow down the spread and can reopen safely. It’s not a political issue. Anyone making it a political issue is an absolute moron who can’t read.”

Huh, wonder what moron he’s taking about.
I kid; I know.
Susan Rice, former National Security Advisor, on being a possible Biden VP pick and wanting _____ and his supporters enablers co-conspirators in the Senate are voted out of office:

“I think it’s important to reflect on what senator Klobuchar said. First of all, she ran an impressive campaign. I have great respect for her. what she said last night was extraordinarily gracious and I think perceptive about the mood of the country. She also emphasized the importance of the role she has to play right now in helping be part of the healing in Minnesota.  But what’s important about what senator Klobuchar said and did is that she made clear that this election and whoever Joe Biden chooses among many very talented candidates, is about getting Joe Biden in the White House. Somebody who can heal and unify the nation and remove Donald _____ and consign him and those who supported him in the senate to the trash heap of history.” 

Yes, please.
Thomas Beattie, a British former pro footballer, has come out as gay:

“I’m able to say it out loud now for everyone to hear: My name is Thomas Beattie. I’m a brother, son, friend, former professional footballer, entrepreneur and annoyingly competitive lad. I’m a lot of things, and one of them is gay. Being gay and having a career in football never felt like an option. Society told me my masculinity was linked to my sexuality—something we of course know is a false assumption—but I felt as if I couldn’t be a footballer and accept who I was. Everything around me suggested these two worlds were pure enemies, and I had to sacrifice one in order to survive. It doesn’t feel that way in other industries. In music, we love Freddie Mercury and Elton John. It’s accepted in film. Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple, is gay, and these things are all OK. But in football, there’s still fear a gay teammate might disrupt the team environment. Sometimes it’s brushed away, like homophobia isn’t an issue in football anymore. Obviously that’s not true …”

Well, welcome out Thomas. And please accept as our gift from HOMO HQ, the obligatory Coming Out Toaster Oven™ and a copy of the Gay Agenda.
And if you ever get across the pond, there’s also room for beefcake at Casa Bob y Carlos.
And, again, because I'm shallow, maybe Bubba and Thomas and I could go for a ride and play with some balls.Just sayin’.
Michael Elizabeth Pence, refusing to utter the phrase “Black lives matter” during an interview on Juneteenth:

“Let me just say that what happened to George Floyd was a tragedy. We celebrate the fact that from the founding of this nation, we cherish the ideal that all, all of us are created equal and endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights. And so, all lives matter in a very real sense.”

Fuck off, Elizabeth. You’d be the kind of asshat who, when people began singing Happy Birthday at a friend’s party, would stand up and shriek, ‘I have a birthday, too.’
Racists will never get it.
John Bolton, the former national security advisor, who stood by _____, carried his water, even though he thought him unfit for office, but waited to tell his story when he could make money off of it, on _____ and the 2020 election:

“I don’t think he should be president. I don’t think he’s fit for office. I don’t think he has the competence to carry out the job. I don’t think he’s a conservative Republican. I’m not going to vote for him in November. I’m certainly not going to vote for Joe Biden either. I’m going to figure out a conservative Republican to write in.”

Which is just like voting for _____, you traitorous fuck.
