President Biden, issuing pardons to LGBTQ+ service
members previously discharged for their sexual orientation or gender identity
under Don’t Ask Don’t Tell: “Today, I am righting a historic wrong by using my clemency authority to pardon many former service members who were convicted simply for being themselves. Our nation’s service members stand on the frontlines of freedom and risk their lives in order to defend our country. Despite their courage and great sacrifice, thousands of LGBTQI+ service members were forced out of the military because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. Some of these patriotic Americans were subject to court-martial and have carried the burden of this great injustice for decades.” Biden’s clemency for LGBTQ+ veterans corrects a dark time
when the military prosecuted individuals under Article 125 of the Uniform Code
of Military Justice, which prohibited gay sex and was in place from
1951 until 2013. Estimates are that approximately 100,000 service members
have been expelled from the military because of their sexual orientation since
World War II, including more than 13,000 under DADT between 1994 and 2011. The
practical impact for those convicted under such discriminatory policies will
allow veterans to access benefits they have long been denied. That’s my president, doing what’s right and fair and
just. |

Kevin Roberts, president of Hate Group the Heritage Foundation,
having a spat with MSNBC’s Symone Sanders: “Abortion’s not healthcare. I find it really interesting, if not worse, that you wouldn’t support the change of the [Health and Human Services] department’s name to the Department of Life. I thought we were all in support of life. Why aren’t we talking about the people who are supporting legislation that abortion can happen until three days after the person’s born? Abortion is not healthcare. Abortion is the murder of a human being.” Yes, he suggests Democrats would be fine with abortion after
birth and doesn’t see the ignorance of his claim. But then he says he cares
about life but children slaughtered by madmen with guns in schools doesn’t
bother him at ll. Ass.Hat. |

Kurt Vonnegut, American author, on
faux-Christians: “For some reason, the most vocal Christians among us never mention the Beatitudes (Matthew 5). But, often with tears in their eyes, they demand that the Ten Commandments be posted in public buildings. And of course, that’s Moses, not Jesus. I haven’t heard one of them demand that the Sermon on the Mount, the Beatitudes, be posted anywhere. ‘Blessed are the merciful’ in a courtroom? ‘Blessed are the peacemakers’ in the Pentagon? Give me a break.” Typical Christians picking and choosing the
parts of the Bible that fit their hate of ‘others.’ God is watching and She is not happy. |

Charlie Kirk, showing
his special brand of illiterate crazy on his wee podcast, talking about
Democrats: “They’ve never loved this country. They have bitterness for it. And they see [Hair Furor] as a true threat because he is a threat. He is an existential threat to their regime. He brings you, the American people, into the fight. Yes, it is a tipping point. Yesterday is a day like any other. It will go down in the memory of the nation like the JFK assassination, like 9/11. It’ll go down like the 2008 financial crisis, it’ll go down like COVID, it’ll go down like the 2016 election. You will remember where you were on May 30. Relief Factor. 100% drug-free relief. So check it out—knee pain, back pain, joint pain. Check it out right now.” Seriously, he thinks anyone will remember
where they were when Hair Furor was found guilty of … something? Which time??? |

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, New York Democrat Representative, on this election, women’s
rights, and SCOTUS: “It’s been two years since six conservative justices toppled Roe v. Wade and our freedom over our bodies was seized by the most corrupt president in US history … Now women have less rights today, in 2024, than our parents and grandparents did. And if he wins in November you better believe [The Felon] and a Republican Congress will pass a national abortion ban. That alone is enormous reason why we must reelect Joe Biden.” This isn’t fear, this is fact. The GOP, led by
The Felon, will strip more health care rights away from women, and take Social
Security away from every American, while rewarding the 1% with tax breaks. Ain’t that America. |

Thom Tillis, North Carolina Republican, on whether
presidents should have absolute immunity: “I don’t believe anybody deserves absolute immunity. You know, the fact of the matter is that’s the last thing I’d want to do. That sounds a whole lot like the position we got rid of when we fought the Revolutionary War. Kings have absolute immunity. I don’t believe presidents should.” Be careful, sir, Hair Furor may come after you. |

Larry Hogan, former Maryland Governor, and current
GOP Maryland Senate candidate, saying he would vote to codify Roe v. Wade, “so
every woman can make her own choice”: “As governor, I promised to uphold Maryland law on abortion, while providing over-the-counter birth control covered by insurance and I kept my word. Today, with Roe overturned, many have asked what I’ll do in the United States Senate. I’ll support legislation that makes Roe the law of the land, in every state, so every woman can make her own choice … because no one should come between a woman and her doctor.” I hope he’s being honest and not just pandering for votes … |
