I Didn't Say It ...

Charlie Angus, Canadian MP, speaking to The Felon:

“[The Felon], I’m going to say this once and I might never say it again, I want to thank you. I want to thank you for bringing Canada together. It took a malignant narcissistic slug like you to make us put aside all our differences, all our regional fights, all our concerns with one another, and realize we actually had to stand up for something better: standing up for the rule of law, for democracy, for decency. We know we’re on your border and it freaks you out because you and your incel gang are terrified of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Your DEI nightmare? Well, we are your DEI nightmare … we are your DEI nightmare … Canada will always be a country of diversity. We will always be a country of equity. We will always be a country of inclusion. And we will defend the rule of law.”

I guess that’s one way to look at the havoc The Felon spreads wherever he drags his fat ass.

Except while he's uniting Canada, he's dividing Americans, and America from the rest of the world.

George Clooney, actor,  claps back at The Felon for calling him a "a second-rate movie star" and "failed political pundit" for daring to challenge his MAGA fascism:

"I don't care. I mean I've known [The Felon] for a long time. You know my job is not to please the President of the United States. My job is to try and tell the truth when I can and when I have the opportunity. And look I'm well aware of the idea that people will not like that, there will be people that criticize that, and there's certainly people... You know Elon Musk has, you know, weighed in every once in a while. That's their right to do it and it's my right to say the other side. When the other three estates fail, when the judiciary and the executive and the legislative branches fail us, the fourth estate has to succeed. ABC has just settled a lawsuit with the [The Felon] administration. And CBS News is in the process. We’re seeing this idea of using government to scare or fine or use corporations, to make journalists smaller."

Attack the press, control the press, control the narrative and so far ABC and CBS have caved to the regime.

Stand up for goddesses’ sake.

Jasmine Crockett, Democrat Representative from Texas, on The Felon and hos GOP goose-steppers breaking the law:

“I’m glad the Supreme Court stepped in and stopped that plane from taking off last night. Because deporting folks with no criminal record and no due process isn’t justice—it’s cruelty. And let’s talk about the real kicker: The same Republicans pushing this mess are following a convicted felon like he’s the Second Coming. You can’t cream ‘law and order’ while breaking the law at every turn.”

As I heard someone say yesterday, if The Felon wants to prove he’s right about these deportations, or the human trafficking, then give them all due process and prove they are criminals and gang members.

But he can’t …

Lisa Murkowski, Alaska GOP Senator, responding to a question about fear of the current regime:

“We are all afraid. It’s quite a statement. We’re in a time and place where—I don’t know, I certainly have not—I have not been here before. And I’ll tell you, I’m oftentimes very anxious myself about using my voice because retaliation is real. And that’s not right. But that’s what you’ve asked me to do and so I’m going to use my voice to the best of my ability.”

Hey Lisa? I got news for you … pull your head out of your chicken ass and work for the people who elected you, not the sociopath who mean Tweets.

Even if he primaries you, you’ll be fine with your pension and healthcare for life, but the people you represent will be utterly screwed so maybe do you f**king job and quit begging for sympathy. Don’t tell us you’re going to use for voice, do it.

Elizabeth Warren, Democrat Senator from Massachusetts, on RFK Jr’s attack on autistic people:

“I won’t share RFK Jr.’s lies about autism. It’s disgusting and dangerous. If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign. Autistic people contribute every day to our nation’s greatness. To every kid with autism, I’m in this fight all the way for you.”

Now RFK, heroin addict, wants an autism registry and for what end? The way Hitler wanted people with differences to be registered?

I say we register drug addicts and keep watch on them.

Laurence Tribe, American legal scholar and former professor at Harvard Law School, om The Felon’s attacks on higher education:

“What we have discovered is that he is a combination of ineptitude, vindictiveness, lawlessness and bluster. The people who caved to him, the universities and the law firms, who thought that if they paid his ransom, they would be safe, have learned that they’re not safe. He comes back for more. That’s the way it works. But because of all these demands, the attempt to take over, essentially, a private educational institution to tell us what we can teach, to tell our students what they can say, what they can think, to tell law firms whom they can defend—those efforts are absolutely illegal. It’s not even a close question. Judges across the spectrum are going to rule against [The Felon]. We are going to prevail. And in doing, so we hope that we will give courage to others, because the only way to deal with a bully is to stand up to him, to stand up in solidarity and say, ‘No, you will not dictate all of us, you will not control our lives, you will not control our thoughts.”

I think The Felon is jealous that he couldn’t get into Harvard and so he wants to punish them.

I think The Felon is jealous that he’s an illiterate moron and Harvard pushes ideas and thoughts and progress and equality.

Keep saying No, Harvard, and I guarantee other colleges and universities will stand with you.

Pete Buttigieg has a hopeful reminder to anyone upset by the current political climate:

“The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before … We are seeing right before our eyes what it looks like when the head of the government of the country we live in doesn’t think he has to obey the courts or the law. It’s an incredibly important and incredibly dangerous moment for the country. It’s a test of whether we’re actually a freedom-loving people, and I think it leaves a lot of Americans feeling powerless. I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t believe that there are a lot of things we can do. Some of them seem old-fashioned—getting in touch with your member of Congress or joining a demonstration in the streets. Those are important, and we’re going to have to be creative about other means of making it known that this is a freedom-loving country, that wherever you come out of—left, right or center—I’m not going to stand for the head of the government of this country, continuing the process of taking on absolute power. Instead, we’re going to build something different and better, a vision where our politics and our economics respond to the needs of everyday people, one that leaves us more free, more prosperous than before, are very obviously less free, less prosperous than we were even a few months ago. This doesn’t have to be a one-way trip.”

I stand with Pete. Don’t get too bogged down by this criminal incompetent regime; use your anger to create change and make something better like, oh I don’t know, Pete in 2028.

PS Pete Beardigieg is hot.

Snarky Thoughts

I know that not everyone in Hollywood has had work done—I mean, explain Steve Buscemi—but when someone stands up and shouts to the world that they are all-natural, well, you gotta take a ten-second swan dive into Google images to seek the truth. And I’m looking at you, Vicki Beckham. Some folks are saying that the pop-star-fashion-mogul has had a nose job but Vicki is setting the record straight, like her nose, that she has never had that kind of work done.

My Thought: Up top, Old Nose Vicki and New Nose Vicki. I don’t care about many pounds you drop, the nose doesn’t lose weight at the tip and also become straighter.

At this week’s People’s Choice Awards—the awards show for the people … who know nothing about awards shows—Shania Twain was getting an Icon Award, and so she showed up to the event looking like, well that, up there. She had pink hair, and some cheetah head scarf that melded into a neck scarf that melded into gloves maybe, and a skirt with an arrow pointing to her vagina. And that wasn’t the worst thing of all … that was Shania’s new face that, like Vicki Beckham, I’m sure she will claim is still her old face.

My Thought: Some say the look  paid tribute to her cheetah ensemble from the That Don’t Impress Me Much video but I say why not just wear the old look and leave the Grannie Garanimal™ look at home?

Apparently Nick Cannon was in the hospital last week suffering from pneumonia, which means that nine months from today we can be guaranteed there will be no Cannon Spawn.

My Thought: Pneumonia? I thought maybe it was just restless Dick Syndrome?

photo

What is it with some women and their awards show fashion? Singer Rita Ora attended the 2022 British Fashion Awards last week in that look up there. Ora added intrigue to the look by bleaching her eyebrows and sporting mermaid-like facial prosthetics.

My Thought: Bra and thong under a sheer sheet is fashion? Or maybe there’s a porn version of The Little Mermaid happening?

Dress   Face

At the recent Kennedy Center Honors, where George Clooney was with a Lifetime Achievement Award he made sure Amal Clooney looked her best on the red carpet as well and helped place her train ‘just so.’

My Thought: I can’t help but think about Tina Fey, saying of Clooney’s Golden Globes Lifetime Achievement Award a few years back:

“Amal is a human rights lawyer who worked on the Enron case, an adviser to Kofi Annan on Syria and was appointed to a three-person commission investigating rules of war violations in the Gaza strip, so tonight her husband is getting a lifetime achievement award.”

Snap.

I Ain't One To Gossip But ...

There’s nothing like a celebrity barfing up a forty-year-old story to get some fresh publicity. And I’m looking at you Brooke Shields.

We get into the Way Back Machine and head to 1980, when people lost their shiz at 15-year-old Brooke Shields’ Calvin Klein’s ad where she says:

“You want to know the only thing that comes between me and my Calvin’s? Nothing.”

It’s nothing compared to what we see today, but forty-one years ago it was escandalo! And so, to mark that four decades old mess, Brooke appeared on Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert podcast and talked about a 1980 interview she did with Barbara Walters that she now calls … wait for it … “practically criminal” because Babs asked what her measurements were and if she was a virgin.

Call CPS! STAT! Except … five years earlier Brooke’s mother, Teri Shields, offered up her 10-year-old daughter, fully nude, dolled up and slathered in grease, as the subject of photos for a Playboy publication called Sugar and Spice so questions of virginity and measurements couldn’t have been that criminal.

Not like a mother having her prepubescent child pose nude. Take it down a notch, Brooke.

Sarah Ferguson, AKA The Duchess of York, is back once again with another chapter for her ongoing life struggles in which she claims that she is “the most persecuted woman in the Royal Family.”

Oh, it didn’t just happen; The OG Fergie says she has been shunned and persecuted since she and her husband Andrew—with his own set of scandals—split up in 1992 and divorced in 1996. It’s like she’s pulling a Brooke Shields, dredging up decades old stories for some fresh publicity,

Referring to the negative media coverage she received following her separation from Prince Andrew, she says:

“I was maybe the most persecuted woman in the history of the royal family, but I’m still here.”

Now, she may have been the most dragged royal, but persecuted? Walk a minute in Diana’s shoes, hon, who was called insane and crazy by the royal family machine during her separation and divorce and was then hounded literally to death by the press.

Take a seat, Sarah. We’ll call you when wanna suck toes.

Google it.

Now, onto to George Clooney, trying to prove he’s just like the rest of us.

Clooney did an interview with the Guardian to promote his new movie, The Tender Bar, and discussed fame, raising his twins during the pandemic, politics, his childhood, and the fact that he turned down $35 million for one day’s work in an airline commercial:

“Well, yeah. I was offered $35m for one day’s work for an airline commercial, but I talked to Amal [Clooney, the human rights lawyer he married in 2014] about it and we decided it’s not worth it. It was [associated with] a country that, although it’s an ally, is questionable at times, and so I thought: ‘Well, if it takes a minute’s sleep away from me, it’s not worth it.’”

Get a good night’s sleep, George. We remember the $30 million paycheck you got for those Nespresso commercials.

photo

Last week we discussed Madonna’s thirsty nipple and ass Instagram photos, and this week we discuss her attack on 50 Cent—whom she accused of “pretending” to be her friend—after he “talked smack” about those photos, posting to his social media:

“yo this is the funniest shit LOL. That’s Madonna under the bed trying to do like a virgin at 63. She shot out, if she don’t get her old ass up.”

And Madonna, never one to revert back to being a teenaged girl, posted a picture of she and Fiddy posing together on the red carpet saying.

“Here is 50 Cent pretending to be my friend. Now you have decided to talk smack about me. I guess your new career is getting attention by trying to humiliate others on social media. The least elevated choice you could make as an artist and an adult.”

And then she proves what a thirsty child she is by adding:

“You’r [sic] just jealous you won’t look as good as me or have as much fun when you are my age.”

I was kinda hoping for:

I’m rubber, you’r [sic] glue, whatever you say bounces on me and sticks to you.

But hers was enough because 50 Cent apologized, and the playground is safe again for the children.

Y’all remember that Khloé Kardastrophe got together with athlete Tristan Thompson when he dumped his pregnant girlfriend to be with Khloé, only to dump Khloé for a hot minute when she got pregnant, and then they got back together because dumping pregnant Khloé is okay with Khloé? Remember that?

Well, it’s still going on because Thompson has knocked up another girl while he and Khloe were are were together, and Tristan is suggesting the woman is trying to extort money from him.

Um, no, Tristan, it’s called Child Support, and it’s what men have to pay because they can’t keep their dicks in their pants.

PS Tristan ALLEGEDLY tried to give this newest Baby Mama $75,000 if she dropped her paternity suit, which is something all men do when the baby in question isn’t theirs.

Keep.It.In.Your.Pants. If you can’t use a condom, dumbass.

I Didn't Say It

George Clooney, on President Biden and what he has taken on since the election:

“It’s like taking a battered child and thinking everything’s going to be OK his first day in school. There’s a lot of things that have to be repaired, there’s a lot of healing that has to happen, and it’s going to take time.”

Think of what Biden inherited, what a mess he was given from COVID, to unemployment, to climate change, to Afghanistan and more.

That’s a lot to take on, but I have hopes he’ll get some things done.

photo

Lindsey Graham, on Fox News, proving, yet again, that she has lost her damned mind:

“The border patrol is doing the best they can but they told me that the likelihood of a terrorist attack coming from our Southern Border grows by the day. And what you see in Texas is moving to Arizona. A 1300 percent increase in illegal crossings in the Yuma Sector in the last few months. Why? We changed the Remain in Mexico Policy. The policy choices of Biden are all over the world now. We had 40,000 Brazilians come through the Yuma Sector alone, headed for Connecticut, wearing designer clothes and Gucci bags. This is not economic migration anymore. People see an open America, they’re taking advantage of us.”

40,000 Brazilians come through the Yuma Sector alone, headed for Connecticut, wearing designer clothes and Gucci bags? WTF is this queen talking about? 

Somebody get her fainting couch STAT!

Hillary Clinton, former U.S. Secretary of State, former NY Senator,  and the woman who won the popular vote in the 2016 election, on the crisis in America thanks to Thing 45:

“You know, I think we not only came close to a full constitutional crisis, I think we’re still in it. That gives me absolutely no satisfaction in saying this because I think we’re in a very dangerous continuing high-level attack on the legitimacy of our government and the election of our president. And obviously, our former president is not only behind it, he incited it, he encouraged it, and he continues to do so. And you have leaders of the Republican Party who have willingly going along as though they’re members of a cult, not a political party but a cult, and they’re continuing attacks on the election, their refusal to say, ‘You know what, we’ve counted these votes. It’s over. We’re gonna move on,’ has sown so much doubt and then you combine it with the disinformation network known as Facebook, and you’ve got a volatile mix. So yeah, we are still in the midst of a concerted well-funded effort to undermine American Democracy.”

Clinton, once again, is 100% correct, and the only way to fix this is to, what? Say it loud from the back:

CAST A GODDAMNED VOTE in every single election in which you vote.

When Democrats vote, Democrats win.

Stand up, speak up, and VOTE!

Wendy Rogers, Arizona State GOP Senator and asshat, read for filth about her Tweet about Superman coming out as bisexual:

“Superman loves Louis Lane. Period. Hollywood is trying to make Superman gay and he is not. Just rename the new version Thooperman so we can all know the difference and avoid seeing it.”

No typo is more perfect and telling than misspelling Lois Lane as “Louis Lane.”

But the use of “Thooperman” as a reference to the “gay lisp” stereotype shows what a homophobic bigot this C U Next Tuesday is.

President Joe Biden, commemorating National Coming Out Day by condemning the array of anti-LGBTQ legislation circulating through state governments while continuing to offer words of encouragement to LGBTQ+ Americans:

“Today and every day, I want every member of the LGBTQ+ community to know that you are loved and accepted just the way you are regardless of whether or not you’ve come out. To LGBTQ+ people across the country, and especially those who are contemplating coming out know that you are loved for who you are, you admired for your courage and you will have a community—and a nation—to welcome you. My administration will always have your back, and we will continue fighting for full measure of equality, dignity and respect you deserve. I am proud to lead an administration with LGBTQ+ officials serving openly at the highest levels of government—and prouder that together we have made historic progress advancing protections and equal opportunities for the LGBTQ+ community. My administration has been clear that we will continue to champion dignity, equality and wellbeing of the LGBTQ+ community. Despite the extraordinary progress our nation has made, our work to ensure the full promise of equality is not yet done. Anti-LGBTQ+ bills still proliferate in state legislatures. Bullying and harassment—particularly of young transgender Americans and LGBTQ+ people of color—still abounds, diminishing our national character. We must continue to stand together against these acts of hate, and stand up to protect the rights, opportunities, physical safety, and mental health of LGBTQ+ people everywhere. From defeating discriminatory bills to passing the Equality Act, we have more work to do to ensure that every American can live free of fear, harassment and discrimination because of who they are or whom they love.”

It’s nice to once again have a President, and administration, acknowledge us, and stand for us and by us, after four years of being erased from view by Thing 45.

I Ain't One To Gossip But ...

Another story of those self-entitled asshats who don’t care about the rules, or anyone other than themselves … and it features one Keanu Reeves.

The Matrix 4 recently wrapped filming in Germany and wanted to have a fabulous wrap party, but the country was under a partial lockdown and large gatherings were prohibited, so the producers got around the lockdown by claiming the party was actually being filmed as part of the movie.

Keanu and his girlfriend, Alexandra Grant, were both in attendance, along with 200 other folks not wearing masks and not practicing social distancing. But hey, it was movie stars and why should they follow the rules or care if they’re endangering anyone else.

A spokeswoman for Studio Babelsberg, Bianca Makarewicz, said:

“According to the production, it was the last day of shooting. It was a celebration scene… Hygiene requirements were adhered to. The production deliberately put this shoot with many people involved at the end of the shoot.”

Except there was no filming going on … just superspreading.

George Clooney really is quite the friend. And quite a dick, in my mind. This week Clooney confirmed an old rumor that, back in 2013, he gifted his 14 closest friends with $1 million each:

“I just thought basically if I get hit by a bus, they’re all in the will. So why the f**k am I waiting to get hit by a bus?”

A few years ago, Clooney’s business partner BFF, Rande Gerber, told the story of Clooney inviting 14 friends for dinner and then surprising each one with a suitcase containing $1 million in cash.

Clooney says now that when he decided to gift all those coins to his friends, he was single, aging and didn’t expect to have a family. Now he’s married and the father of 3-year-old twins.

I just wonder, though, how much better it might have been if Clooney had given $14 million to a charity or a hospital or AIDS research, instead of a group of buddies.

Sad.

Man, Isaiah Washington can hold onto a grudge.

You might remember that back in 2007, Washington was fired from TV’s Grey’s Anatomy after calling costar T.R. Knight a homophobic slur during an on-set fight with another actor, Patrick Dempsey. Knight’s friend and costar, Katherine Heigl, defended him, and dragged Washington for filth, suggesting he should never be allowed to speak publicly.

And thirteen years later, Isaiah got bored and decided it was time to drag Heigl on Twitter:

“This woman once proclaimed that I should ‘never’ be allowed to speak publicly again. The world agreed with her proclamation back then and protested for my job and my head in 65 languages. I wish I was on Twitter in 2007, beause [sic] I will NEVER stop exercising my free speech.”

Isaiah furthered his attack against Katherine by answering responses from his fan, calling her a nobody, and even pulling producer Chandra Wilson into it:

“Your opinions are your own, but you are a fool, a liberal and misguided feminist to even try and defend this woman. You weren't there, so die on this hill, whoever you are. She could have cared less about her gay friend. Chandra Wilson knows all about that too.”

Katherine didn’t respond to Isaiah, but told a source—possibly Schmatherine Schmeigl—that she has no regrets about standing up for T.R. all those years ago:

“Katherine stood up for her close friend twice when Isaiah publicly outed him and called him a f—-t. That’s hate talk, not free speech. She is proud that she stood up for him. Katherine is and always will be an advocate and ally to the LGBTQ community.”

Nice how she props herself up, but then again, why not when someone crawls from the woodwork to rehash a thirteen-year-old argument.

Take a seat, Isaiah.

Self-entitled one percenter, and college scam criminal, Mossimo Giannulli is just days away from checking into prison to serve out his five-month sentence. His wife, and co-conspirator, Lori Loughlin, is in prison right now, and she was said to have boosted her immune system so she wouldn’t get The COVID while in the slammer.

Mossimo, however, took a different approach and decided to go full on bald-headed, goateed serial criminal. He’s practicing his prison lingo, learning to shower without bending over, lifting weights, learning the difference between ‘shiv’ and ‘shank’ and reminding himself that, in the Big House, he’ll be known as Aunt Becky … Bubba’s main bitch.

Sorry, not sorry.

I Didn't Say It ...


Raymond Buckley, former Democratic party chair on Pete Buttigieg’s candidacy:

“As we move forward, what is fascinating about this year is that while in theory people support marriage equality, you’re seeing it with Chasten [Mr. Buttigieg’s husband] and Pete. And the visual from last weekend — for it to be absolutely normal as the spouse to come out, hug, embrace, kiss, hold hands — for the generation over 30, that was an amazing thing to witness. I talked to some folks in New Hampshire who are in their 20s, and it was nothing to them. Because their adult life has been marriage equality. They can’t imagine the sort of sense that we all felt. But there was still a tremendous sense of progress and pride with that picture.”

It is something I never thought I’d see, a gay man running for president, so it is kind of thrilling that it’s happening now. It gives me hope that there are more of us who are inclusive and accepting and understanding than there are on that other side.
Kirsten Gillibrand, vowing to only nominate judges who will protect Roe v Wade:

“As a candidate, Donald _____ said he would punish women for accessing abortion, and as president, he’s made good on that promise by stacking the Supreme Court with anti-choice extremists Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch. Republicans nationwide push these bills because they want a court ruling that guts abortion access nationwide, forever. We simply cannot let that happen. The decision about if and when to start a family should be made by a woman and her doctor — not Republican legislators, not Brett Kavanaugh and certainly not Donald _____.”

Funny about _____ because I imagine that, with some digging, you’d find a woman he got pregnant and then paid for her abortion.
Of course, his evangelicals hypocritical base wouldn’t mind that.
George Clooney, on Brunei backing down from its death by stoning penalty for gay sex:

“This is a huge step forward after a giant leap backwards. It promises that the citizens of Brunei won’t be executed for being gay. It also sends a very crucial message to countries like Indonesia and Malaysia that there is a cost for enacting these laws. And the cost isn’t folks boycotting their hotels. The cost is that corporations and big banks won’t do business with you.”

Clearly, money talks, and you punch folks in their bank account and they bend.
Boycotts work.
Madonna, playing victim:

“People have always been trying to silence me for one reason or another, whether it’s that I’m not pretty enough, I don’t sing well enough, I’m not talented enough, I’m not married enough, and now it’s that I’m not young enough. So they just keep trying to find a hook to hang their beef about me being alive on. Now I’m fighting ageism, now I’m being punished for turning 60.”

The only person trying to silence Madonna is Madonna playing the victim.
Remember this is a multi-millionaire complaining about her life and how people have tried to shut her up.
Mike Pompeo, Secretary of State, lying like his boss:

"Look, the facts speak for themselves: America is the world's leader in caring for the environment."

The way this administration can simply open their mouths and lie is frightening.
Bill Maher, on Real Time, on Barr and _____:

“Bill Barr is so far up _____’s ass he bumped into Hannity. So Barr went before the Senate this week, on Wednesday, and the Democrats looked all so happy after they gave him a good grilling. But I think they missed the big picture. _____ is still President and the big gotcha was they got Barr to commit perjury, which is apparently some old-timey law about lying being wrong. Nancy Pelosi said, ‘That’s a crime and I’m going to report it to…oh, yeah.’ See this is the problem when the guy who is supposed to be enforcing the law is the guy who’s breaking the law. Democrats don’t seem to get it. You know, ‘It’s in the rules,’ is not an argument that works on Donald _____. You’re playing Monopoly with a hyena. When it bites you and shits on the board, saying ‘It’s not your turn’ really doesn’t work.”

Hey Democrats? Do something.
Ben Domenech, Meghan McCain’s husband, Federalist publisher and conservative commentator, Tweet raging at Seth Meyers like a certain Asshat-In-Chief after McCain and Meyers had an exchange on Late Night over comments by Representative Ilhan Omar:

“I see that @sethmeyers, the untalented piece of sh*t who only has his job because he regularly gargled Lorne Michaels’ balls, went after my wife tonight with his idiotic anti-Semitic bullsh*t. Seth is an awful person who is known within the industry for how terrible he is. He is a monumental a**hole who is utterly unfunny. He deserves the mockery he receives from all the people who laugh at him. Here is proof that white men get ahead despite their obvious lack of talent: it’s @sethmeyers, who would beg for a third of the viewers at @TheView. He’s awful, untalented, and a perfect definition of a cuck”

Wow. Someone is angry and childish and stupid, and this totally explains why McCain married him: he’s just like her father [sarcasm font].
Domenech later deleted those asshatted Tweets and apologized:
I love my wife. I apologize for rage tweeting about how Seth Meyers treated her. I don't like him, I think he's a hack, but I shouldn't have done that. I'm sorry to anyone I offended.”
Sound like Ben is an angry little hack himself. Seth Meyers disagreed with Precious Meghan and her husband behaved like _____. Again, Daddy would be so proud.

I Didn't Say It ...


Pete Buttigieg, Democratic presidential hopeful, on standing out in a crowded Democratic field: 

“The way you survive the Flavor of the Month period, or with 20 of us it’s probably a Flavor of the Week period… But the way that you do it is through substance. You gotta make sure that you’re putting forward something that others aren’t, or at least that you’ve got a fresh and different vocabulary that can reach people who maybe have tuned us out.”

He’s right, because right now he’s new, he’s different, he’s got a lot of people talking. But will that translate to the primaries which are many months away?
Personally, I think Pete has the staying power.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Democratic Congressperson, on Jared Kushner’s use of WhatsApp to communicate with Saudi officials and lax security at the White House:

“Reports are suggesting that we are conducting foreign relations by people with security clearances via WhatsApp! Every day that we go on without getting to the bottom of this matter is a day that we are putting hundreds if not potentially thousands of Americans at risk. I mean, really, what is next, putting nuclear codes in Instagram DMs? This is ridiculous.”

It’s been reported that _____ overruled security clearance denials by career employees for 25 individuals in his administration, but, hey, it’s only national security.
George Clooney, actor and activist, to the critics who say his call for a boycott of the Dorchester Collection, hotels owned by the government of Brunei, after Brunei announced it would implement a “death by stoning” punishment for gay sex, would hurt hotel staff:

“I share those concerns, but to equate their situation with the fact that this week the 5th richest country in the world would take a young woman who is found to be gay, bury her up to her neck and have 25 men throw stones at her head until she is dead seems unfathomable. This exact argument was used during the Montgomery Bus Boycott in 1955. And yes, a lot of hard working, presumably innocent bus drivers were hurt… but no one would argue that the boycott was for the far greater good. These are very expensive hotels, but the bulk of their business isn’t individuals but companies. I’ve been to these hotels when I was doing press events set up by the studios. I don’t know any companies that want to put money in the pocket of a murderer once they know.”

He’s right; while it may hurt the employees, I think trying to stop the death by stoning of gay people is worth that.
Hogan Gidley, White House spokes-tool, on cutting aid to Puerto Rico …though he cannot be bothered to say “Puerto Rico”:

 “With all they’ve done in that country, they’ve had a systematic mismanagement of the goods and services we’ve sent to them. You’ve seen food just rotting in the ports. Their governor has done a horrible job. He’s trying to make political hay in a political year, and he’s trying to find someone to take the blame off of him for not having a grid and not having a good system in that country at all.”

Oh, and he repeats Trump’s “$91 billion” lie cuz he’s a pandering asshat.
Sarah Palin, complaining that she was not invited to John McCain’s funeral:

“I was kind of surprised to be publicly disinvited to the funeral.”

She is thirsty for attention because you cannot be disinvited if you were never invited in the first place. And, since you were a stain on McCain’s legacy, why let you sit in a pew?
Back to the trailer, Meth-head Barbie.
Matt Gaetz, Florida Republican, argued against transgender rights at a hearing on the Equality Act:

“Consider this possibility — if President Trump were to say, I am now the first female president? Who would celebrate that? Would those who support the legislation think that’s a good thing, or would they be dismayed? Bad actors have already weaponized some ostensible equality laws for their own benefit.”

Seriously, Republicans? You elected this kind of stupid? Are you ashamed of yourselves at all?
Pramila Jayapal, Democratic Congresswoman, at that same Equality Act hearing:

“My beautiful, now-22-year-old child told me last year that they were gender non-conforming. And over the last year, I have come to understand from a deeply personal mother’s perspective. I came to understand what their newfound freedom—it is the only way I can describe what has happened to my beautiful child — what their newfound freedom to wear a dress, to rid themselves of some conformist stereotype of who they are, to be able to express who they are at their real core. Since this deeply impactful moment last year, my child’s embracing of their non-conforming gender identity and all it allows in their brilliance, their self-expression, the only thought I wake up with every day is, ‘My child is free. My child is free to be who they are.’ And in that freedom comes a responsibility for us as legislators to protect that freedom to be who they area.”

And there you have the fundamental difference between most Republicans and most Democrats; Republicans trade in fear and hate and lies, and Democrats work with acceptance and understanding.
