Carl Nassib, Las Vegas Raiders defensive end, making sports
history, and just plain history, by coming out as gay this week, and becoming
the first active player in NFL history to do so: “What’s
up people? I’m at my house here in West Chester, Pennsylvania. I just want to
take a quick moment to say that I’m gay. I’ve been meaning to do this for a
while now, but I finally feel comfortable enough to get it off my chest. I
really have the best life, I’ve got the best family, friends and job a guy
could ask for. I’m a pretty private person, so I hope you guys know that
I’m not doing this for attention. I just think that representation and
visibility are so important … I would not have been able to do this without
[the NFL, the Raiders organization, my coaches and teammates]. From the jump, I
was greeted with the utmost respect and acceptance …
I actually hope
that like one day, videos like this and the whole coming-out process are just
not necessary. But until then, I’m going to do my best and do my part to
cultivate a culture that’s accepting, that’s compassionate and I’m going to
start by donating $100,000 to the Trevor Project.” Welcome out, Carl, and please accept as out gift from HOMO
HQ, your official copy of the Gay Agenda and the Coming Out Toaster Oven™. You have done a great thing for athletes, football players and professional sports. We’ve been waiting a long time for player to come out and here you are. Thank you. Sidenote: NFL commissioner Roger Goodell applauded Nassib
for living his truth: “The NFL family is proud of Carl for courageously sharing his truth today. Representation matters. We share his hope that someday soon statements like his will no longer be newsworthy as we march toward full equality for the LGBTQ+ community.” PS The NFL has matched Carl Nassib’s $100,000 donation to the Trevor Project. PPS Carl is hot. |

Andrew
Giuliani, Rudy’s
boy, raging on Twitter about the judges who ruled against his daddy: “As
you may have heard, a few minutes ago my father’s law license was just
suspended by the New York state First Appellate Division. All five of them are
Democrats, three of which were appointed by Andrew Cuomo. Five to nothing,
ultimately. Democrats with zero Republicans on there. This is just unbelievable
to see just how politicized all of this has become. I am infuriated by all of
this. This is going after one of [Thing 45’s] closest allies. That’s exactly
what this is, and any American that doesn’t believe that—they are just biased. This
is unacceptable, and I stand by my father. He did everything, ultimately, by
the book. And the fact that there would be this politicization in our Justice
Department is just disgusting. This is a cancer that needs to be cut out.” A few
points, Andy: First:
simmer. Secondly:
your father’s license was suspended because it was determined that he lied in
court about voter fraud, and this is just a continuation of the sixty-some-odd
times that either your daddy, or some other Thing 45 hack, lied to a court. Thirdly:
I know you wanna be governor of New York so perhaps you should learn that the New
York state judicial system which suspended Daddy’s license is not part
of the Justice Department. |

Dick
Morris,
Newsmax contributor and fool, on Critical Race Theory leading to black children
killing their fathers: “What
does this do to the children? What does this do to a kid? A quarter of all
black marriages are intermarriage, racially. So what does that do to a black
boy whose mother is black and his father is white? What does he think? ‘My
father exploited my mother and that’s how he got successful?’ If the couple
breaks up does he have to choose one over the other? Does this reinforce the
Oedipal notion that all kids have wanting to kill their father and marry their
mother?” Insanity
is a sad state of affairs, and this loon shouldn’t be allowed on a TV “news” program
anywhere. |

Mark Levin, Fox News host, helping to spread that
other Big Lie that Antifa and Black Lives Matter attacked the capitol last
January … dressed as Oath Keepers and Proud Boys and Thing 45supporters: “We are hearing that we have more FBI resources
applied to this than to anything else. That people are being rounded up all
over the country and being charged in some cases with misdemeanors. We have
SWAT teams that are being used to collect people and bring them back to
Washington. We’re hearing that they are in some of the worst jails and that
some of them are being put in solitary confinement where they only have an hour
where they can go outside, if that. We hear that they’re being told that they
have to pay funds so they can fix the Capitol building. And I ask myself, how
about Black Lives Matter and Antifa? Who is rounding them up? Who is sending
SWAT teams out to get them? I want to know who it is they are rounding up,
what’s happened to them, what they are being charged with. This information
needs to be made public.” Mark, you pandering, lying, fool; the FBI and
DOJ are not keeping the arrests or charges secret. In fact, the DOJ has
an entire website titled “Capitol Breach Cases” where you can find names,
dates, charges, photos, and social media screencaps. But by all means, cry foul and lie and pander
to your ignorant viewers. |

Lindsey Graham, South Carolina’s closeted
Senator, on Fox News, about the voter rights bill: “In my view, SR-1 is the biggest power grab in
the history of the country. It mandates ballot harvesting, no voter ID. It does
away with the states being able to redistrict when you have population shifts. It’s
just a bad idea, and it’s a problem that most Republicans are not going to sign—they’re
trying to fix a problem most Republicans have a different view of. I like Joe
Manchin a lot but we had the largest turnout in the history the United States,
and states are in charge of voting in America so I don’t like the idea of
taking the power to redistrict away from the state legislators. You’re having
people move from blue states to red states. Under this proposal, you’d have
some kind of commission redraw the new districts, and I don’t like that. I want
states where people are moving to have control over how to allocate new
congressional seats.” Sorry, ma’am, you’re grasping at straws. I
think you don’t want anyone looking into your election win last fall. Seriously, ma’am, you want us to believe that
making voting easier is a bad thing? And just because your Master lost the
House, the Senate and the White House? Bitch, please. |

General Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, delivered a blistering retort to sexual predator Matt Gaetz’s
criticism that the military is too “woke.” “I do think it’s important, actually, for those of us in
uniform to be open-minded and be widely read. And it is important that we train
and we understand. I want to understand white rage, and I’m white. What is it
that caused thousands of people to assault this building and try to overturn
the Constitution of the United States of America? I’ve read Mao Zedong. I’ve
read Karl Marx, I’ve read Lenin. That doesn’t make me a communist. So what is
wrong with understanding—having some situational understanding about the
country for which we are here to defend? And I personally find it offensive
that we are accusing the United States military, our general officers, our
commissioned, non-commissioned officers of being, quote, ‘woke’ or something
else, because we’re studying some theories that are out there.” And I would ask, what’s so wrong with being ‘woke’. It’s
being aware, being educated, understanding that your own experience, your white
experience, isn’t the only experience; understanding what has been done in this
country since it began. Oh, I guess I also answered why the GOP is against being
woke. |

Colin Powell, former Secretary of State, told CNN’s Jake Tapper he was voting Biden in November:
“[_____] lies. He lies about things, and he gets away with it because people will not hold him accountable. … We’re not a country of just a president. I think what we’re seeing now, those massive protest movements I have ever seen in my life, I think this suggests that the country is getting wise to this and we’re not going to put up with it anymore. … I’m very close to Joe Biden in a social manner and political manner. I’ve worked with him for 35, 40 years, and he is now the candidate and I will be voting for him.”
While Colin Powell has had his own fights with the truth back in the day—WMD anyone—I do like to see people speaking out about the lack of true leadership in this country.

Bernard Kerik, former NYPD Commissioner, pardoned by _____ earlier this year after conviction on eight felony charges, says police brutality is fine with him and no reforms are needed except for the black community:
“When you watch these videos, listen, when a police officer tells you to move when there is a curfew, you move. When a police officer told you to back up, you back up. You’re not supposed to stick your finger in his face. You’re not supposed to touch him or throw something on it. They’ve been bombarded with bricks, rocks, Mollin powotov cocktails, sticks, you name it and you know what at some point in time, you’re going to push the wrong cop and he’s going to push back. In this case, that is what happened. Everything is about reforming the police. How about reforming the community? How about teaching young black men and women, in these communities of color, things like don’t run from the police when you get stopped. Keep your hands on the steering wheel when you get stopped in a car stop. Don’t make furtive moments, don’t put your hands in your pockets, don’t poke the police in the eye when he stops you, don’t assault the police, don’t resist. These are simple, simple things that could be taught in driving school when you’re teaching kids how to get their license.”
Um, you racist fuckmonkey, black people didn’t just start running from police for no reason; it started after years and years AND YEARS of being targeted by police, brutalized by police, arrested for simply walking while black by the police. If the police do better, the communities do better; if the police become visible positive influences in our communities, then no one will feel the need to run …for their lives.

Michelangelo Signorile, SiriusXM radio host, LGBTQ activist and author, on the new round of speculation that Lindsey Graham is gay, using Aaron Schock as an example for outing Graham:
“[Aaron Schock is] the perfect example of a man who was deceiving the public in so many ways … The closet, for powerful politicians, becomes a sort of practice run at the art of deception on a grander scale. And when you will sell out your own kind, there’s really no telling how low you will go. Had journalists at mainstream outlets with vast resources, legal teams and researchers, been pursuing Schock for the hypocrisy of his anti-LGBTQ votes—and revealed that he was gay, with clear-cut evidence—it wouldn’t only have likely stopped an anti-gay hypocrite, it would likely have brought down a man who was spending campaign and taxpayer dollars to live in grand style and luxuriously travel around the world. … Some queer people don’t realize this isn’t about indiscriminately ‘outing’ the average person, the private citizens just trying to live their own lives. It’s actually about protecting them from the corruption of those who are public figures—people who go into public life knowing their lives will be open for discussion—who want to deceive people to benefit themselves and their benefactors. Senator Lindsey Graham has promoted a horrendously anti-LGBTQ agenda and now is one of the strongest defenders of a president who is the most anti-LGBTQ president in history, rolling back rights that have been won. Editors and reporters should be investigating Graham’s hypocrisy the way they investigate public figures’ hypocrisy all the time—and that means following up on reports about his sexual orientation.”
People should be allowed to come when they choose, if they choose, BUT when closted gay politicians use their power to do harm to the LGBTQ community in an effort to hide their own orientation, then all bets are off.
So, come on out, Lady G, before you’re dragged out.
And then dragged.

Mike Huckabee, presidential wannabe and rightwingnut, on the idea that some Republicans will not support _____
:
“If you have people who were nominated, and in the case of President Bush actually elected to be president by Republicans and they will no longer support the Republican nominee who went through the process and got elected, then I’m going to be not just unhappy, I’m going to be livid. And some of them say, ‘But I don’t like his personality.’ Well, get over it. This is not about electing a personality. This isn’t Hollywood. This is the rough, tumble world of politics. And maybe he’s not as genteel as some of us would like. But, by gosh, he’s getting the job done, and it’s time Republicans rally because if they don’t, they’re going to get Joe Biden, who isn’t pro-life, who is for higher taxes, open borders, he’s going to succumb to China. Everything that we find disgusting he’s going to embrace it, including the socialists out here.”
Hey Mike, you pandering fuckmonkey. _____ is a racist who uses the Bible as a prop and you, an ALLEGED Christian, are fine with that.
What you’re livid about, Blanche, is the idea that if Biden gets in the wingnuts won’t control the courts and women’s right to make their own healthcare decisions will stay put.
But, you do you, support and vote for a racist as long as it keeps the Pro-choice movement down.
God will love you for that.

John Oliver, Last Week Tonight, on defunding police departments:
“The police have not just been incidentally tainted by racism. For much of U.S. history, law enforcement meant enforcing laws that were explicitly designed to subjugate black people. … All week long, protesters have continued to fill the streets in all 50 states in the wake of the horrific murder of George Floyd by the police. And in response to those protests, which have been a stirring pushback against institutional racism and brutality, it’s been frankly sickening to see them met with this. As for the president himself, he initially hid from the protesters in a bunker, later claiming he wasn’t hiding, he was just ‘inspecting’ it. Then, his attorney general had police gas protesters outside the White House so that _____ could have an inexplicable photo op at a nearby church while holding up a Bible like it’s the ticket for his sandwich order that was just called. He also, in announcing jobs numbers on Friday, invoked George Floyd’s name, saying, ‘This is a great day for him,’ which is utterly f**king disgusting. [Defunding police doesn’t mean all police would be eliminated] It means moving away from a narrow conception of public safety that relies on policing and punishment and investing in a community’s actual safety—things like stable housing, mental health services and community organizations. The concept is that the role of the police can then significantly shrink because they are not responding to the homeless or to mental health calls or arresting children in schools or really any other situation where they best solution is not someone showing up with a gun—that’s the idea of defunding the police.”
Defund doesn’t mean end the police force, it means take ack some of their massive budgets and use it in the communities they serve to help our citizens of color climb out of poverty, mental health issues, drug problems. If the communities have help, then you don’t need riot gear and tanks and tear gas.
Help those communities and help everyone.

Daniel Radcliffe, actor, speaking out against transphobic statements made by Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling:
“Transgender women are women. Any statement to the contrary erases the identity and dignity of transgender people and goes against all advice given by professional health care associations who have far more expertise on this subject matter than either Jo or I. According to The Trevor Project, 78% of transgender and nonbinary youth reported being the subject of discrimination due to their gender identity. It’s clear that we need to do more to support transgender and nonbinary people, not invalidate their identities, and not cause further harm. I realize that certain press outlets will probably want to paint this as in-fighting between J.K. Rowling and myself, but that is really not what this is about, nor is it what’s important right now. While Jo is unquestionably responsible for the course my life has taken, as someone who has been honored to work with and continues to contribute to The Trevor Project for the last decade, and just as a human being, I feel compelled to say something at this moment: to all the people who now feel that their experience of the books has been tarnished or diminished, I am deeply sorry for the pain these comments have caused you. I really hope that you don’t entirely lose what was valuable in these stories to you. If these books taught you that love is the strongest force in the universe, capable of overcoming anything; if they taught you that strength is found in diversity, and that dogmatic ideas of pureness lead to the oppression of vulnerable groups; if you believe that a particular character is trans, nonbinary, or gender fluid, or that they are gay or bisexual; if you found anything in these stories that resonated with you and helped you at any time in your life — then that is between you and the book that you read, and it is sacred. And in my opinion nobody can touch that. It means to you what it means to you and I hope that these comments will not taint that too much.”
Bravo, Daniel.
Rowling is under fire for recent Tweets suggesting that if you don’t menstruate, you aren’t a woman. She also said:
“The idea that women like me, who’ve been empathetic to trans people for decades, feeling kinship because they’re vulnerable in the same way as women—ie, to male violence—‘hate’ trans people because they think sex is real and has lived consequences—is a nonsense.”
‘In the same way as women’? They are women, you tool. She supports trans people would march with trans people but thinks trans women are not women.
Ass.

Tucker Carlson, Fox News, spreading racism and hate and fear:
“This may be a lot of things, this moment we’re living through, but it is definitely not about black lives. And remember that when they come for you and at this rate, they will. Anyone who has ever been subjected to the rage of the mob knows the feeling. It’s like being swarmed by hornets. You cannot think clearly. And the temptation is to panic. But you can’t panic. You got to keep your head and tell the truth. Tell the truth. If you show weakness of any kind, they will crush you.”
There you have it: black people are coming for white people in mobs.
Racist

Eddie Redmayne, actor who starred in the film adaptation of JK Rowling’s Fantastic Beasts franchise and played trans pioneer Lili Elbe in The Danish Girl, on Rowling’s transphobic tweets:
“Respect for transgender people remains a cultural imperative, and over the years I have been trying to constantly educate myself. This is an ongoing process. As someone who has worked with both J.K. Rowling and members of the trans community, I wanted to make it absolutely clear where I stand: I disagree with Jo’s comments. Trans women are women, trans men are men and non-binary identities are valid. I would never want to speak on behalf of the community but I do know that my dear transgender friends and colleagues are tired of this constant questioning of their identities, which all too often results in violence and abuse. They simply want to live their lives peacefully, and it’s time to let them do so.”
It’s the simplest thing: treat people with respect, because you’d like the same in return.

General Mark Milley, the nation’s top military officer, on going with ____ to that church where he was photographed in his combat uniform:
“I should not have been there. My presence in that moment and in that environment created a perception of the military involved in domestic politics. As a commissioned uniformed officer, it was a mistake that I have learned from.”
Good on you now, but you really should have seen through that charade from the jump.
Milley also repeated his opposition to _____’s call for federal troops to be deployed nationwide to quell protests.
