Snarky Thoughts

Everyone knows that California is enduring an unbearable heatwave and drought, and that water is a scarce, valuable, resource. Most people in California are abiding by water restrictions, but the same folks that use their private jest to take a ten-minute flight to dinner, are the same folks disabusing the water restrictions. And some of the worst of the lot are Kim Kardastrophe, Kevin Hart, and Sylvester Stallone.

My Thought: it takes a butt-load of water to wash Kimmy’s butt, but Kevin Hart cam swim in a thimble so what’s his excuse. As for Stallone, maybe he’s using a lot of water to bathe the dog his wife is divorcing him over; Google it, it’s real.

Gary Busey was booked as a celebrity guest at the annual Monster Mania Convention in Cherry Hill, New Jersey recently and was subsequently charged with two counts of fourth-degree criminal sexual contact, one count of criminal attempt/criminal sexual contact and one count of harassment for ALLEGEDLY groping three women at the convention. And then, just a day later, in California, Busey was caught on tape sitting on a bench with his pants down and ALLEGEDLY performing an obscene act.

My Thought: just looking at Busey feels obscene, and even given California’s limited water supply, someone should have come for him with a firehose.

Last week when JLo and Ben Affleck threw themselves a slave plantation wedding celebration, it appeared that one guest had to be rushed to the hospital. It seems that Ben’s mom, Chris Affleck, fell off his dock and cut her leg.

My Thought: did she fall, or did she jump, in the hopes of ending this travesty sooner rather than later?

I certainly hope this celebrity marriage doesn’t end in divorce, because breakups always hurt, but when you throw in tattoo removal, it’s downright painful. Brooklyn Beckham recently married Nicola Peltz … I don’t know either … and to commemorate their love he has had 70 tattoos inked into his skin dedicated to his blushing bride.

My Thought: it’ll take an industrial strength laser to clean all that ink up, and the Brooklyn will be walking scar tissue. And the removal will probably take longer than the actual marriage.

Shaquille O’Neal thinks the Earth is flat because on a recent flight from the US to Australia he says, well, here’s what he said:

“I flew 20 hours today, not once did I go this way [he moved his arm diagonally]. I flew straight.”

He then added that the plane “didn’t tip over” or “go upside down” during the journey. But it’s not just that the Earth is flat, y’all, Shaq doesn’t believe the Earth spins because the water in his pool doesn’t spill out.

My Thought: I never knew basketball to be a full body contact sport, but apparently Shaq took too many balls to the melon.

I Ain't One To Gossip But ...

Jen Shah, one of the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, is apparently a hot mess on and off TV, but it’s her off-screen antics, of the criminal variety ALLEGEDLY, that we’ll talk about here.

Shah was arrested and accused of fraud spanning six states, and faces up to thirty years in prison, but has, of course, denied any wrongdoing and asked that the charges be dropped. A judge said, “No so fast grifter,” and so now Shah has come up with a new theory as to why she is not, well, not that innocent, but not to be tried for the charges: her contacts were dirty,

Shah’s lawyer filed legal papers which said her contacts were very dry and dirty, and her vision so blurry that she had no idea she was signing a document that waved off her Miranda rights and would like her whole case thrown out.

Bitch, please. Did you also have dry contacts in your ears when they read you your rights?

And now, another tiny diva with a great big ego … Kevin Hart. He loves to say he has zero fucks to give, and even called his latest Netflix special, Zero Fucks Given, but he appears to have many, many fucks to give because he recently went on Twitter and lashed out against people who claimed he was … :::gasp::: … not funny:

“The ‘He’s not funny’ slander is the best….this is for you. I have 3 stand up comedy specials that fall in the top 10 highest grossing comedy specials of all time….2 of my specials are in the top 3 of all time. I have been the highest grossing comedian in entertainment for years now.”

Someone is giving lots of fucks rights now, but, um, Kev, someone saying you’re not funny isn’t slander, it’s opinion, and you thinking it’s slander is semi-funny, but in a sad kind of way.

“I have also been the highest grossing comedian in the box office with over 4 billion in earnings ….I have also turned my comedic talent into a place of business and branding and radio and other revenue streams….The hate/slander fuels me to do more.”

Again, not slander, just a lot of chest thumping and ego puffing from Little Man Hart.

“You guys are what makes this business fun….because it’s not about getting to the top….it’s about doing your best to stay on top after you get there. I rarely talk shit….but I felt the need to today.”

He rarely talks shit and has zero fucks to give, and then talks a lot of shit while giving a huge fuck. Not funny; not funny at all.

Kim Kardashian wants to make the move from reality TV whore to lawyer, but apparently it’s just too hard. If you remember, last week, on KUWTK, Kimmy revealed that she had taken the First-Year Law Students’ Examination, aka the Baby Bar, and failed. She blamed the test results on being a single multi-millionaire mother, running a business during a pandemic, and getting COVID from a birthday party she threw herself with hundreds of people in attendance.

Kimmy is funnier than Kevin Hart thinking that if you’re a single working mom you automatically fail the exam; or maybe if you’re a single mom with nannies and staff who work for you and run your businesses while you travel around the world unmasked and unvaxxed and get COVID and then don’t pass the Baby Bar.

But, hon, if you have all those excuses for why you failed, why did you take the test a second time, and bomb again? Cuz you’re a reality show whore who doesn’t’ have the good sense god gave a horse.

When we talk about Tori Spelling it’s usually because a credit card company is coming after her for being a deadbeat who doesn’t pay her bills or she’s thirsty for attention by pretending to be pregnant again. Sure, that’s still happening because what else does Spelling have to do?

Oh, go out in public and be photographed without her wedding ring sparking rumors that her marriage to fellow deadbeat Dean McDermott is over.

Oh, and she dropped another clue on Instagram by changing her bio from “Actress / Wife / Mother / Writer / DIYer” to “Actress / Mother / Writer / DIYer.”

Tori, hon, no one really cares.

PS You forgot "Deadbeat."

We haven’t heard much from sexual kink master Armie Hammer of late, perhaps because his career took that final spin around the toilet bowl, or maybe it’s something else …

Once all his sexual proclivities became known, and his wife left him, and women came crawling out of the woodwork to discuss his kinks, Armie slithered away to the Cayman Islands where he ALLEGEDLY dated a Canadian dental hygienist. But that was all we knew, until last week when Armie was seen at the Grand Cayman airport with his estranged wife and their two children, who hugged Daddy goodbye before he boarded a plane to Orlando, Florida.

What do you do after your marriage and career implode? He’s going to Disneyworld!

Oops, not so much, Armie has checked himself into rehab to hopefully get help for his drink and drug and sex addictions. And while that’s good, the LAPD continues to investigate the rape allegations made again him online by a woman named Effie.

It’s a mixed bag for the former Husband-In-My-Head.

Kourtney Kardastrophe likes to paint herself as the eco-warrior of That Family, but her message was clearly lost on one of her sisters, Khloé.

Khloé, clearly not the sharpest tool in That Family’s shed of dim bulbs, decided to do her part to fight pollution by encouraging her 152 million Instagram followers to make the switch from bottled water to a refillable water bottle, in an attempt to reduce single waste plastics.

Nice message, but … if you’re living a massively wasteful Kardastrophe lifestyle, which, in Khloé’s case, is a love for filling her home with thousands and thousands of balloons to celebrate birthdays and anniversaries and the unveiling of her new faces, are you really environmentally conscious? Or are you just another tone-deaf media whore who doesn’t know thing one about saving the environment.

I mean, think about all that plastic in her face; was it recycled from someone else in the family? Uh huh.

I Ain't One To Gossip But ...

So, everybody’s climbing aboard the Save Britney bandwagon in the wake of The New York Times Presents Framing Britney stories of her father controlling her and her money. And one of the biggest worms crawling from the ooze to cough up some words on BritBrit is former love, Justin Timberlake.

Of course, JT waited about twenty years, and until he had a movie to promote, before saying a word about the not so nice things he said about Britney … he outed her for not being a virgin, for one. And also, as like every time he has something to promote, Timberlake does a mea culpa lap around ripping off Janet’s Jackson’s shirt, baring her breast, during a Superbowl Halftime show. Back then he played the coy innocent boy while Janet was dragged for it.

And so …because he has a new movie coming out … JT took to social media to read a prepared statement:

“I’ve seen messages, tags, comments, and concerns and I want to respond. I am deeply sorry for the times in my life where my actions contributed to the problem, where I spoke out of turn, or did not speak up for what was right. I understand that I fell short in these moments, and others, and benefited from a system that condones misogyny and racism.

I specifically want to apologize to Britney Spears and Janet Jackson both individually because I care for and respect these women and I know I failed.

I also compelled to respond, in part, because everyone involved deserves better and most importantly because this is a larger conversation that I wholeheartedly want to be part of and learn from …”

Wow, that is a full-on word salad that reeks of insincerity, though I was waiting for the “I have a new film opening this month, please go see it.”

Nicely done, JT, drag these women again while getting some free publicity for your latest film.

When you’re a very rich person, and crazily enough, “comedian” Kevin Hart is, you pay people to do the most mundane things for which you have little to no time. And Kevin cannot shop, so he pays someone to do his shopping. But problems can arise when you give someone access to your coins, and now comes word that Kevin’s personal shopper, Dylan Syer, was ALLEGEDLY shoplifting about a million bucks from him, and this week Syer was in a New York City courtroom facing 9 counts, including grand larceny.

Apparently Dylan gained Kevin’s trust in 2015 and began buying expensive items for him, on his behalf. All the purchases were legitimate, and Kevin’s credit card was used to make the purchases. With access to Kevin’s credit card, Dylan ALLEGEDLY began transferring money from Kevin’s card into his personal bank account, and then began blowing through the money like a Lindsay Lohan coke binge, spending hundreds of thousands of Kevin’s hard-earned one-trick-pony dollars on expensive jewelry, watches, art, collectibles, designer handbags, and leather goods.

The grand total was roughly $1.2 million; all in the span of two years.

Yikes. The DA is trying to seize all the items Syer ALLEGEDLY bought with stolen coins, but that might prove difficult since Syer was given access to the card, so the company never called Hart to ask him about his sudden interest in  high-end designer handbags.

And it took him over two years to even notice the $1.2 million dollars charged to his card. Not quite the sharpest little tool … in the shed.

I don’t really pay close attention to The Bachelor and Bachelorette franchises because it seems like a group of whores, male and female, vying for the one john, male or female, but I will try and explain it.

The story begins with Rachael Kirkconnell, a contestant on The Bachelor, who, back in 2018, attended an “Old South” themed party on an old plantation which caused peopleto think she was racist.  Now, going to an antebellum party doesn’t make someone racist but then people began digging into her social media and found a slew of Confederate flags, QAnon conspiracies and some racist crap.

Then spurred another former Bachelorette, Rachel Lindsay—the first Black Bachelorette—to ask the show’s host Chris Harrison about the controversy and he really stepped in it and has since “stepped away” from the show. See, Harrison basically dismissed Rachael Kirkconnell’s highly-racist past as nothing and then called out the “woke police” because people calling out racism are wrong:

“Well, Rachel, is it a good look in 2018, or is it not a good look in 2021? Because there’s a big difference. Where is this lens we’re holding up and was this lens available, and were we all looking through it in 2018?”

Wow, he seemed to suggest that racism in 2018 is okay because it was soooo long ago. Perhaps rather than stepping away, Harrison should have been shoved away. And he followed that up with the I Need To Save My Job apology:

“I have spent the last few days listening to the pain my words have caused, and I am deeply remorseful. My ignorance did damage to my friends, colleagues and strangers alike. I have no one to blame but myself for what I said and the way I spoke. I set standards for myself, and have to meet them. I feel that with every fiber of my being. Now just as I taught my children to stand up, and to own their actions, I will do the same. By excusing historical racism, I defended it. I invoked the term ‘woke police,’ which is unacceptable. I am ashamed over how uninformed I was. I was so wrong. To the Black community, to the BIPOC community: I am so sorry. My words were harmful. I am listening, and I truly apologize for my ignorance and any pain it caused you. “I want to give my heartfelt thanks to the people from these communities who I’ve had enlightening conversations with over the past few days, and I am so grateful to those who have reached out to help me on my path to anti-racism.”

That’s a lot of words for something that could have gone like this:

“I said some stupid ass shit. I’m sorry for being an addle-brained tool I will now walk away until I really truly learn that racism in 2021 is as wrong as racism in 2018 … or 1963 … or 1931 … or 1856 … or 1776 … or ….”

Now go.

Lord, One Percent problems.

Salma Hayek is married to François-Henri Pinault, a French billionaire who made his billions by being the spawn of a French billionaire; he inherited Daddy’s company, Kering, which owns luxury brands like Gucci, Yves Saint Lauren, and Balenciaga.

Salma and François-Henri have been married since 2009, and, during an appearance on Dax Shepard’s podcast, Armchair Expert, she said she doesn’t care that some people think she married him for his $43.4. billion:

“You know the thing is that in pictures you cannot begin to guess the magic in him. He’s made me become a much better person, and grow in such a good, healthy way. And, you know, when I married him, everybody said, ‘Oh, it’s arranged marriage, she married him for the money.’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, whatever, bitch. Think what you want.’ 15 years together, and we are strong in love. And I don’t even get offended, I’m like, yeah, whatever.”

Salma has said she believes there’s discrimination against rich men and that not all of them are bad, materialistic, or people undeserving of their wealth.

Dear goddess, is she suggesting that rich people have harder lives than poor people? I don’ t think Salma married him because he’s rich, but he might have married her for those breasts, and not for her brains because, again, she’s an idiot who believes we should pity the rich.

GOOP is at it again, y’all. A year, a full year, into the pandemic, and Gwyneth Paltrow has revealed she had COVID-19 very early on:“A little background:

"I had COVID-19 early on, and it left me with some long-tail fatigue and brain fog. In January, I had some tests done that showed really high levels of inflammation in my body. So I turned to one of the smartest experts I know in this space, the functional medicine practitioner Dr. Will Cole. After he saw all my labs, he explained that this was a case where the road to healing was going to be longer than usual.”

As she does with everything, Paltrow sold, er, told her story in a blog post on GOOP, and then turned that revelation into a money beg about how she came upon her latest regimen after COVID left her with some long-lasting symptoms,

Gwyneth’s personal routine involves fasting until 11:00 AM every day, eating a “keto and plant-based but flexible” diet—I guess that means not keto and plant based all the time, which would make it just regular eating—and  supplements which are for sale, where else, on GOOP. Oh, and she’s also doing “an infrared sauna … in service of healing.” 

Infrared sauna? This is it:

Is it just me or does that look like a $500.00 ginormous heating pad? Oh, and in case you fall for it, it’s “non-returnable?” 

So many people making money off the pandemic but they’re selling things we need like masks and hand sanitizers. Gwyneth wants y’all to buy a heating pad.

Next up, a candle that smells like your vagina on COVID-19.

I Ain't One To Gossip But ...

I like actress Laura Dern; I do. But does anyone other than actress Laura Dern really think she’s having a thing with Bradley Cooper because she’s the only one talking about it.

It seems that Dern and My-Husband-In-My-Head Bradley Cooper—not to be confused with My-Husband-In-My-Head Anderson Cooper—were spotted having lunch together in June and Dern comes out in late September to say there’s nothing to it, they’re just friends …blah blah blah.

No need to explain, Laura, we already guessed that.

On the heels of the Miley Cyrus-Liam Hemsworth breakup comes the news that Lindsay Lohan is somehow involved. I mean, only in her own utterly empty head, but still, she is talking about it.

As the lovebirds announced they were finished, Lohan took to Instagram to lament that none of the brothers Hemsworth ever vied for her attention.

Note to Lindsay: men don’t “vie” for your attention; they call your pimp, give over a credit card number, and then send a car for you.

Okurrrrrr?

PS I don’t think a Hemsworth would ever want to wade in the STD pond that is Lindsay Lohan.

I used to find actor Tom Hiddleston absolutely delicious, but then he hooked up with Taylor Swift and I suddenly realized he was an empty-headed famewhore.

But that’s just me; apparently one woman who paid to see Hiddleston in Broadway’s Betrayal, was so overcome with lust for Hiddleston that she up, well, as Erika Jayne once famously screeched, “patted the puss” right there in the theater.

Twice! And when the show was over this Diddling Donna ALLEGEDLY applauded like a wild woman causing one theatergoer to post about the show:

“The show was really wonderful and the cast first-rate. But you might want to avoid seat B-3.”

Note taken.

Wendy Williams, who has had one Hell of a year between denying about her husband cheating, admitting her husband was cheating, denying about her husband having a child with his mistress, admitting her husband had a child with his mistress, denying she was divorcing her husband, admitting she was divorcing her husband, denying she was having a substance abuse relapse, admitting she was living in a  sober house because she had a substance abuse relapse, is now pointing out other liars.

Pot.Kettle.Black. And while the chance that all this messiness would cause Williams to lose her show, it was renewed and she’s back, spilling the tea, stirring the pot and tossing the shade … at Christie Brinkley. Williams claims that Christie, who was set to appear on this season’s Dancing With The Has-Beens until she fell and “broke” her wrist in a fall, is faking the whole thing to get her daughter, Sailor Brinkley-Cook, a shot at some publicity:

“Well, that looked fake as hell … Let me tell you what I see. I don’t see a wrist and a shoulder being fractured. But that was real cute. Here’s my thought: Dancing with the Stars called Christie Brinkley … and she said yes. After she got off the phone, that’s when she plotted her schedule. … knowing that she’d put her daughter Sailor in there.”

Wendy? Hon? Why don’t you try telling the truth about yourself, before demanding the same of others? Plus, you know, you made Christie Brinkley cry and sob and weep … over Wendy Williams gossip.

Girl please. You both need to take a seat.

Back in 2017 Kevin Hart revealed to the world that he was a cheating dirtbag. Now, he didn’t reveal this truth because his conscience was bothering, but because his jump-off apparently had video of Little Kevin and Littler Kevin.

Now his mistress, Montia Sabbag, claimed at the time she had no involvement in the “film”—though a film of Montia doing the nasty with her neighbor wouldn’t sell as much as Montia doing Little Kevin—now she is claiming that Kevin himself is one of the orchestrators of this sex tape scandal.

And so, she’s suing him for $60 million.

And she may have a case because one of Hart’s best friends, one JT Jackson, was arrested for extortion and charged because of this hidden camera sex tape, and Montia thinks Kevin was in on it because he had a tour coming up and the idea of people seeing Montia and Kevin do the deed in grainy video footage would help ticket sales. Seriously.

Even if it still begs the question: who is Montia Sabbag and why would anyone want to watch her have sex with anyone … including Kevin Hart?

Remember when Jose Canseco claimed in his 2008 autobiography Vindicated that Madonna had ALLEGEDLY wanted him to be her sperm donor?

First off, Jose Canseco? Ick.

Well, now, another dreamboat from Madge’s past is saying he was be her Baby Daddy—in Sperm only—and he is none other than … Dennis Rodman. But while Jose seemed to be in it just because he could nail Madonna, Rodman says Madge offered up significant coins for his junk. Rodman is ALLEGING that Madonna called him up, out of the blue, announced she was ovulating, and said:

“Dennis, you know that I’m ovulating.”

And then he says she sent a private jet to pick him up in Las Vegas, and bring him back to her New York City manse where, before they did the deed, she said if she got pregnant, she’d pay him $20 million.

So, they banged, cleaned up, and he was back on the plane to Vegas. And we all know that Madonna didn’t get pregnant with Rodman’s baby, so he never got that 20 mil. But he does have that story to tell, and another one …

Rodman has also ALLEGED Madge made a similar deal with Carlos Leon—who fathered her daughter Lourdes—though he has no facts, just his flapping lips. But he has a book to sell, so …

Still, it begs the question, if you sleep with Rodman for $20,000,000, where are you gonna get the coins for your follow-up treatments.

STDs ain’t cheap, y’all.

I Didn't Say It ....

Mitt Romney, GOP Senator from Utah, has called on Congressman  Steve King, the Republican from Iowa,  to resign after King asked why the term “white supremacist” was considered offensive:

“I think he ought to step aside and I think Congress ought to make it very clear he has no place there.” 

Mittsy’s positioning himself as the anti-_____ for 2020, y’all.

photo

Mitch McConnell, GOP Senate Majority Leader, also slammed King over those remarks:

“There is no place in the Republican Party, the Congress or the country for an ideology of racial supremacy of any kind. I have no tolerance for such positions and those who espouse these views are not supporters of American ideals and freedoms. Rep. King’s statements are unwelcome and unworthy of his elected position.”

Who knew McConnell was such a comedian, because he clearly has no problem with a ‘some Nazi’s are fine people’ president.

Kevin Hart, who just a month ago vowed not to take up the issue again,  is once again discussing the backlash to his anti-gay jokes and tweets that cost him his position of host of the Oscars:

"It's like, what state of the world do you want comedy to go to? Because ultimately, if we keep pushing in this direction, you're gonna have comics that don't know what's safe to talk about, and now the conversation has changed to people aren't funny anymore because everybody's afraid to be funny. So what level can they be funny? ... We're taking away the ability for people to be comfortable. Everybody. Workplace, work environments, from professional to any aspect of life, now. Everybody's walking on their toes. Everybody's walking on glass. Everybody is!"

Well, Kevin, let’s talk funny …beating a child? You find funny. Beating a child because you’re afraid he might be gay? You find funny.

But people who have had gay friends, gay sons, gay daughters, beaten to death for being gay, aren’t laughing.

But you don’t get it because you’re a one-note, one-laugh, one mind-frame comedic hack.

Siddown.

Joe Scarborough, blasting Miss Pitty Pat, AKA South Carolina’s GOP Senator Lindsey Graham for morally bankrupting himself to serve _____:

“We’re watching the political, ideological and moral collapse of my old Republican Party. Make no mistake, Donald _____’s amorality is driving this collapse, but his Republican allies on Capitol Hill and in powerful positions across America are too eager and too willing to be his accomplices. I’ve known Lindsey for years, we came in together in Congress in 1994, and Lindsey was always considered to be one of the most genial, reasonable and measured members of Congress. As a presidential candidate in 2016, he routinely warned us of the moral rot that the election of Donald _____ as the party’s nominee would bring to the Republican Party, and he said that unhinged Manhattan developer would destroy the GOP if he were elected. Well, Lindsey was right then, but now he’s one of the administration’s leading henchman in hatching plots to run roughshod over our nation’s traditions and turn the party into a rudderless collection of mini-me Donald _____s. That same Lindsey Graham who actually followed John McCain’s lead for so long is actually the Republican who is using his position as Senate chairman of the Judiciary Committee to encourage Donald Trump to declare a national emergency and illegally seize Article I powers if he doesn’t get his way on the border wall. Think about that for a second, and it is illegal, it will be overturned by the Supreme Court of the United States, and if Lindsey Graham doesn’t know that, then he shouldn’t even be in Congress.”

As I like to tell Miss Pitty Pat on Twitter, I think his sudden ass-smacking loyalty to _____ is because maybe the Russians have something on Miss Lindsey … like she was one of the Russian hookers who peed on _____.

Kevin Hassett, _____’s top economic adviser, says federal workers are “better off” because of the  shutdown:

“A huge share of government workers were going to take vacation days, say between Christmas and New Year’s, and then we have a shutdown, and so they can’t go to work. So then they have the vacation, but they don’t have to use their vacation days[thus] in some sense they’re better off.”

I have an idea, asshat, you get shutdown; you get told you cannot go to work and can’t, or won’t, get paid. Better yet, you be one of those government workers who still has to work but isn’t getting paid and see how you lie it, you self-entitled bastard.

Oh, and fuck off.

Janeane Garofalo, standing up for sexual predator Louis CK:

“Leave Louis C.K. alone. Enough with that. And again, there are so many issues we gotta be motivated on. He’s been my friend―and I stand by that―he’s been my friend since 1985, and I think he has suffered… And when he performs at the Comedy Cellar and people get all irate, if nothing else, care about his daughters. If nothing else―if you can find no compassion for him, which I think you should―think about how his daughters, who hear all of this stuff, feel. Why don’t you leave him alone for them if you’re so women-empowering?”

Well, Janeane …your “friend” spent years jerking off in front of women and then denying it ever happened. Your “friend” denigrates anyone whose sexual orientation he doesn’t like, like trans people and gender fluid people.

That’s not funny, unless you’re Kevin Hart, or Louis CK, or, apparently Janeane Garofalo.

Lindsey Graham, Miss Pitty Pat from South Carolina, worked herself into a tizzy when Fox News  host Chris Wallace asked him about the GOP’s course of action should Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg vacate her seat:

"Well number one, I wish her well and hope she recovers and continues to serve for many years but here's what will happen if there's a vacancy, no matter if from the liberal wing of the court. There will be a lot of pushback from the left. But my Democrat colleagues felt, when they were in charge, we should confirm judges by a majority vote. They changed the rules to accommodate President Obama, they tried to stack the court, they never thought [Hillary Clinton] would lose. I will urge the president to nominate a qualified conservative. Hopefully that person will get through and I expect it to be along party lines. And this is what happens when you change the rules. This has come back to bite them, I predicted it would, and we’ll see. I'm going to be hell-bent to replace [a vacated seat] with a conservative, whoever steps down for whatever reason."

Well, isn’t it funny how she goes from saying the Democrats tried bending the rules to get their way, but then says she’ll do the same exact thing? This from a member of a party who refused, because they’re a bunch of tight-assed old white men who realize that if the country were more liberal, they’d all be out of jobs, to even give a hearing for Merrick Garland?

Oh, Miss Pitty Pat, I am gonna work so hard to see that your flabby, ALLEGEDLY gay ass is removed from office in 2020.

Oh, and fuck off.

Rant Mode: Kevin Hart, DL Hughley and Homophobia

Just some thoughts on that whole Kevin Hart booted off the Oscars for an old homophobic Tweet about how he’d beat his son for being gay if he found him playing with dolls. But there was more from Hart; he wondered about a man’s profile picture on Twitter:

“Why does @DamienDW profile pic look like a gay bill board for AIDS……….Booom, I’m on fire tonight.”

Or howsabout this one:

“Why does @wayne215 have so many pictures of me in his phone!!! What ru some type of FAT F** that takes pic of small black men all day?”

And this:

“@dwadeofficial U should ask the question like this, how many “gay” men sweat when they wear dress shirts, because real men don’t lmao p.s. f**.”

Hilarious. And you can say, all you want, that he Tweeted those things years ago, but violence against a child isn’t funny; portraying gay men to be “less than” and not “real” men isn’t funny; it feeds hate. But hey, a few people laughed, right?

And some people took Hart’s side, and came for others, like Amy Schumer, who also had a year’s old Tweet:

“Enjoy skyfall f**s. I’m bout to get knee deep in Helen Hunt #thesessions.”

Now, do I like that she used the word ‘fag’? No, I don’t; I don’t like when straight people say ‘f**’ as much as I don’t like it when white people say ‘n****r’. I find it offensive, but … Amy’s tweet didn’t threaten violence or physical abuse on a child who might be gay or just might like playing with dolls and playing make believe.

And some are comparing Hart’s “joke” to Oklahoma University quarterback Kyler Murray who, after winning the Heisman, apologized for using the words “queer” and “queers” in old Tweets from 2011 and 2012. The difference between Murray and Hart’s offensive Tweets are two-fold: one is an adult threatening violence to a child and the other was a 14-year-old boy acting the fool; other differences are that as soon as Murray’s Tweets resurfaced, he instantly apologized:

"I apologize for the tweets that have come to light tonight from when I was 14 and 15. I used a poor choice of word that doesn’t reflect who I am or what I believe. I did not intend to single out any individual or group.”

Hart, at first, refused to apologize though, yes, I know, he apologized once already, but again, it’s the violent nature of his Tweets toward his own child that are troubling.

See, there is a difference those Tweets, Kevin Hart, and Nick Cannon, who stepped in to defend Hart, and if you don’t see the difference, then you never will. 

Now, we come to Asshat and ALLEGED comedian DL Hughley who also defended Hart on Twitter and then went after trans female, and Pose actress, Indya Moore when she questioned his rationale. Hughley said:

“A Comedian says something that offends people and refuses to apologize? What do I say?.....Fuck em if they can’t take a joke! Well done “

I wonder how Hughley might feel if the joke was about a black child being beaten or being called the n-word; I mean, surely some people might find that funny.

Moore responded to that:

“I know you don't care! That's what the issue is. You complacent to how you jokes impact the quality peoples lives. You insensitive. I make people laugh all the time without making fun of other people. People around me listen & you give them permission to treat me how they want”

And Hughley stood firm:

“I could give less than a damn what you think if u don’t dig it don’t listen! But I’d never apologize for a joke”

So, DL, if we don’t like what someone is saying, some joke they are making, we should just not listen? And let hate simply stand? Let homophobia be the last word? Let child abuse be laughed at?

Added Moore:  

“There are consequences for the things you say no matter who it makes laugh. So since you don’t give a damn don’t act surprised & defensive when people who do give a damn oppose you- cus what’s a matter of jokes for you is a matter of safety for others…you ain’t gonna sit around and collect money at the expensive of oppressing people and negatively influencing the quality of their life through by how you use they platform. So start buying up stocks buddy cus my generation ain’t having it…your jokes divide people and that’s why you fail as a comedian. By all means don’t apologize, you can be all the clown you want but you will never lead with bullshit.”

Replied Hughley: 

“Fail!! Lol!!!! I make a living doing what love, put kids through college, paid for my homes, and travel the world, and still don’t give a shit what a pussy like u thinks”

Apparently, as long as a joke puts his kids through school, he’ll say whatever he wants and never apologize, but, again, I wonder, as a black man, would he have the same response to a joke about beating a black child? Using the n-word?

It wasn’t the joke, it was Hart’s decision to say he’d beat a child if he thought the child was gay. And anyone who finds that funny, or thinks it compares to other comedians using the f-word, doesn’t get it. Gay people, trans people especially, are being beaten and murdered in this country every single day and it’s not funny.

And it’s no joke. And the way to stop it is at the source; the way to stop it is to stop laughing at it.
