I Ain't One To Gossip But ...

The No Ring is a thing again. This week media whore Kim Kardastrophe went out and was photographed :::gasp::: without her wedding ring, signaling that maybe she and Krazy Kanye were finished.

Who cares, but … then Matt Damon was photographed without his wedding ring on for the second time in a week.

Matt has been married to Luciana Barroso  since 2005, but lately Matt has been hanging out in LA with BFF, and soon-to-be-divorced, Ben Affleck and photographed twice sans band. But is it a signal of divorce, or is it a signal that we’re in the middle of a pandemic and washing our hands a hundred times a day and sometimes we forget to put the band back on … ?

Here’s my take … Kim Kardastrophe is photographed without a ring so people will keep talking about her, while Matt gets photographed without his ring because he left it on the bathroom sink.

Media whore or human person.

Khloé Kardastrophe is at it again.

After years of changing her face so she looks like Beyoncé or Mariah or, well, anyone but herself, she recently posted a new photo to Instagram where she looks almost exactly like … half-sister Kendall Jenner.

That’s Khloé-dall on the left and Kendall on the right. Now, I have no issue with anyone having a little Bo or a peel or a nip or a tuck, but when you change your face so completely that you look more like other people than yourself, maybe you need a rethink.

Of course, if you’re a Kardastrophe, it’s all about the attention, so …

My BFF—mostly because she loathes GOOP as much as me—Martha Stewart recently got her COVID-19 vaccine, normally reserved for front line workers and essential-type people, and the internet tried to drag her saying she pushed her way to the front of the line.

It all started when Martha posted that picture to her Instagram account, saying that she was given the COVID vaccine in an inoculation pod at the Martha Stewart Center for Living at Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan. But … Martha didn’t use her wealth to skip the line, she used another number … her age.

Bitch is 79, so she got the shot and y’all can get off her jock.

Now, when Paltrow gets hers …

Um, I may have spoken too soon before, and then had to retract, so I say this with a bit of hesitation … it appears to be over, again, for My-Husband-In-My-Head, Luke Evans and boyfriend Rafael Olarra. He told the UK Times:

“It is what it is.”

But he did not elaborate on the cause of the breakup, but again, if he needs some comfort, I’m here.

I used to like Anne Hathaway, but somewhere about the time she campaigned and begged and pleaded for an Oscar because she say a song in Les Misérables, I kinda thought she was over,

But that was then, and this is now, and now she’s really over.

Hathaway appeared on The Tonight Show recently and told Jimmy Fallon to call her Annie, instead of Anne. But it wasn’t a ‘Hey, we’re friends, call me Annie,’ because Anne Hathaway says her name has always been Annie.

Anne, sorry gurl, said that when she first started acting at 14, she needed to confirm her name for her SAG membership, and went with “Anne Hathaway” because it’s the name listed on her birth certificate … meaning it’s her name. But she says that everyone calls her Annie and hearing folks say Anne is too formal and impersonal.

Too formal and impersonal? For the last twenty-four years? She then added that only her mother calls her Anne … um, because it’s the name she gave you … and that on film sets, people will call her anything but Anne, like Annie, Miss H, or Hath.

Oh Anne, you’re just so precious to have, at age 38, decided you want to be known as Annie. And that little orphan, and the one that got her gun, were here first.

Okurrrrrrr, Anne?

Don’t mess with Lucy.

But Aaron Sorkin is apparently making a film about Lucy and Desi called Being the Ricardo’s. And in the running for Desi is Javier Bardem, and intalks to play Lucy is Nicole Kidman.

Nicole what? Social media went nuts because no one, and I mean no one,  should be playing Lucille Ball except that powerhouse actress, that multi-award-winning actress of stage and screen … and TV … Debra Messing.

Yes, from Will & Grace.

The film is set during one production week of I Love Lucy—Monday table read through Friday audience filming—when Lucy and Desi face a crisis that could end their careers and another that could end their marriage. Originally, Sorkin was simply going to write the script, but then Cate Blanchett thought she should be Lucy and he decided he wanted to direct. But then Cate was out, and Javier and Nicki K said they were interested.

I love me some Kidman, and Javier is kinda delicious, but as Lucy and Ricky?

Cue Debra Messing and the internet, where people wondered TVs second favorite redhead shouldn’t be playing TVs first famous redhead. Rumors swirled that Messing, whose career is en feugo … I kid … was not available, and Messing, who does love to Tweet, instantly replied:

“Oh no, I’m available.”

Except … again … Variety reported that Messing had stated she would not do it:

“Like 15 years ago people would say, ‘Hey, do you want to do like a made for TV movie or something?’ And I always felt like, ‘Oh, I would not even touch that. Like she is untouchable.’"

And now Messing says:

“Ummmmmm, I changed my mind.”

Sorry, Deb, no change-sies, and, um, yeah, Nicole? One other actress, Frances Fisher, joined the fray and Tweeted out this photo of herself:

Sorry other ladies whose names I have now forgotten. Looks like we’ve found our Lucy … though as I said at the top … Don’t mess with Lucy!

I Didn't Say It ...

Dolly Parton, legend, icon, LGBTQ+ ally, angel, in a Zoom interview with RuPaul, about always being fully made-up:

“I have to always stay ready—street ready, I always say. I have to keep my makeup on and keep my hair done. Like, when I’m in L.A.—I’ve told you about it—if it’s going to earthquake, if we get an earthquake, I’m not running out in the street looking like you look now. I have to be ambulance-ready at all times, if I get sick or something. But I actually do wear high heels most of the time. They’re not always as high as the ones I wear for show. But I’m little. I’m short. And I have to wear heels in order to reach my cabinets. But I always enjoy wearing the shoes too, and I just feel more like me. But I can come down, though. I’m comfortable in my own skin; I’m comfortable with my image. I dress for myself more than I do for somebody else.”

I’m.Not.Running.Out.In.The.Street.Looking.Like.You.Do.Now.

Oh Dolly, you are a gift! Actually, you're a treasure.

Clément Beaune, French European Affairs Minister, coming out as gay in an interview TETU magazine, and saying he will visit Poland’s “LGBT free” zones in support of activists:

“I wouldn’t want people to say I am fighting against ‘LGBT-free’ zones because I am gay. It would be insulting to say I am leading that fight for myself. However, as European affairs minister, I have an additional responsibility. I must fight for tolerance.”

Perhaps he isn’t fighting these zones simply because he’s gay, but it may have something to do with it. I mean, a place exists where you are not allowed to exist simply because you’re gay?

Go. Stand. Fight. Not for tolerance, but for the same right to exist as every other person,

photo

Luke Evans, actor and tall hunk of British Husband-In-My-Head, saying he never hid the fact that he was gay because he didn’t discuss it:

“[My sexual orientation] was the last thing I had, because everything else I’ve given to the world. My career was public, I was photographed, and all that stuff. My personal life just became the last thing that I had. Also, what was strange was that when people did find out that I was gay, there was a lot of articles and stuff written saying that I was hiding it, and I wasn’t. I just wanted to get online and I wanted to pick up the phone and say, ‘Do you realize I left home at 16 because I was gay?' I went into the world as a kid, because I had to. I am proud and happy, and I’ve lived a very big life that I’m super happy with. And I’ve never been ashamed. And now all of a sudden I was being treated in this way and it was a scary moment because I was, like, oh God, this is horrible. This is not true. None of this is true. I just try and be authentic, because this is who I am. I am this person. I’m not creating another image so that I can portray one to you.”

I like the way he explained this: that, as an actor, you give so much of yourself to the media and the public, but maybe you want some semblance of privacy, BUT … anyone who comes out makes it easier for someone else to do so, and when a person who has a certain level of fame comes out, it makes it easier for a great deal more LGBTQ+ people to come out.

You don’t have to talk about your romantic life, but just come out so people won’t think you’re ashamed and hiding and maybe they’ll feel less ashamed and stop hiding themselves.

Just sayin’.

Bob the Drag Queen, calling out comedian Dave Chappelle for making anti-transgender jokes:

“I do think the issue with trans lives—especially in the Black community—doesn’t necessarily lie within racism, but it does lie within prejudice and misogyny, specifically trans-misogyny, and this is not just something for just the trans people to address or just the queer people to address. Like, we need, in this world, cisgender, straight, Black men to stand up and say, ‘Trans lives matter.' Don’t even get me started at Dave Chappelle. This is a real blow to my system because, like, Dave Chappelle is someone that I’ve always looked up to, and his comedy is so… lately he’s been really doubling down on this idea that trans people are a joke, or that trans existence is funny or that trans people just living their lives is funny to him. And then when Dave Chappelle—who’s one of the most respected Black people in comedy and entertainment—goes on TV or when Netflix gives him money to say, ‘I can’t stop laughing at trans people, they’re just so funny!’ then it validates that idea for other people, and then other people double down and agree with him. You don’t have to punch down. Like, you’re Dave Chappelle, all of your content leading up to this year, you didn’t have any trans-misogynistic jokes in any of that stuff. You don’t need that stuff.”

Trans people aren’t a joke.

Trans people are being murdered because they are trans, and every time a Dave Chappelle makes light of being trans, he’s making them less than, and killing someone less than isn’t such a bad thing to some people.

It’s not funny.

Tom Harald Hagen, a Norwegian football referee, coming out as gay after hearing a player’s homophobic slur against another player:

“It is the height of irony that I was just leading that match. Maybe he said it on a whim, that can happen in football. But we have to get rid of it … [And so] I feel the time is right and I think that only positive things will come out of this. I have gradually become confident in myself, and my life is very good. I feel it is important to make it safe, including the fact that I am gay. I have lived like that all my life, my relationship, my family—and my football family."

Coming out and standing up to homophobia in sports. Bravo, sir.

And so, please accept as out gift to you, from HOMO HQ, the Official coming Out Toaster Oven™ and a copy of the Gay Agenda.

Welcome out and thank you!

I was watching HouseHunters the other day—I’m a little obsessed with homes and real estate—and there was a lovely couple. Sarah and Loren. Only, upon listening further, I realized Loren was Lauren, Okay …

Carlos come sin and he stops to watch for a moment, and says:

“The husband is kind of cute.”

“They’re lesbians.”

“Are you sure?”

I put on my soft, nurturing teacher voice and say:

“Two women are a lesbian couple; two men are a homosexual couple…”

“I know that. But she looks like a man with hat short hair.”

“Exactly! She. So, again … two women are a lesbian couple; two men are a homosexual couple and … “

“Stop that!”

“A man and a woman couple are an abomination before God.”

Just kidding with y’all, especially my straight coupled followers,

Tuxedo wants to get away from politics, and so he’s been listening to some country music, and he just doesn’t quite get it.

UPDATE: y’all can put it back in your pants, because  Luke Evans and Rafael Olarra, who had fans thinking that they ended their relationship after they unfollowed each other on Instagram, might be back together.

Last week, it was discovered that Luke and Rafa both unfollowed each other on Instagram—ouch—and Luke appeared to have erased nearly every photo of Rafa from his page, though Rafa didn’t seem to delete posts from his account. But Rafa did leave Australia, where he was spending time with Luke for the past three months while the actor filmed the upcoming series Nine Perfect Strangers.

But the very next day, both men refollowed each other on Instagram and posted photos on Instagram Stories that looked back at their relationship.

But Luke, my offer still holds if a breakup occurs and you need some special care …

Also, more from my BFF—Blocked From [Me] Forever—Kirstie Alley.

Last week the former actress, current  MAGAt accused CNN fearmongering about the COVID-19 pandemic via Twitter:

“I now Know why my personal friends who walk around in SHEER TERROR of contracting Covid are simply CNN viewers! I decided to watch CNN myself to get a their [sic] viewpoint and oh my God DID I EVER!!!!”

Well, the official CNN PR Twitter account clearly has zero fucks to give, at least where has been actresses are concerned, and Tweeted back:

Kirstie, you are welcome to change the channel - just like countless viewers did every time ‘Veronica’s Closet’ came on TV. But don’t downplay the loss of nearly 230K American lives. And please, wear a mask.

And that is so not Fake News.

On Tuesday Mississippi voters approved a new flag to replace their old one that featured a Confederate battle emblem. The new flag features a magnolia―the state flower―along with 20 white stars, a nod to Mississippi being the 20th state to enter the union, with a single gold at the top to represent the indigenous tribes, along with the legend “In God We Trust” below the magnolia.

I like that the racist part is gone, and I love the representation of indigenous peoples.

Good on Mississippi, for a change.

Color me surprised … Kanye West admits defeat in presidential election after getting 57,000 votes in 12 states.

Who the %$#@ are these 57,000 people and why are they allowed to vote?

I saw this yesterday on Facebook, and it seemed rather fitting. Let’s make sure he is completely uninstalled, and make sure the likes of this racist, rapist, bigot is never installed in this country again.

I was perusing around the blog-o-sphere this morning and stopped in at my friend Sheila Morris; blog, I'll Call It As I See It, and learned that a friend of ours, Matt Chisling, had passed away on Tuesday at the age of 91.

I honestly believe that if you fall under the LGBTQ+ blanket in South Carolina, especially in the Midlands, you knew Matt. We met the LGBTQ+ activist, storyteller, and kind soul through our friends, the Round-The-Way-Gays, Neal and David, and quickly grew to adore Matt. He often came to our Cinco de Never parties, and held court in the sunroom, telling stories of the old days, the new days, and the days yet to come.

RIP Matt.

PS As Sheila pointed out, Matt died on election day, having “never lost either his enthusiasm for democracy or his passion for the Democratic Party.” So, let’s win this one for Matt.

The first time I saw a photo of Tom Zalac, I thought he was a very handsome man. And then, as happens, as I saw more pictures of him, I realized he was a very handsome man who liked to pose in his under, or nothing at all.


That’s all.

Okay, while most Carlos stories happen organically, I will be honest about how I kinda orchestrated this one … that happened while we were watching Saturday Night Live on Sunday morning, Adele as guest host though, sadly, not the musical guest; that went to H.E.R. When H.E.R. began to sing, Carlos said:

“Is that Adele? That’s not Adele.”

“It’s H.E.R.”

“It doesn’t sound like her.”

“Well, it is H.E.R.”

“Adele?”

“It’s H.E.R.”

“It doesn’t look like her.”

“Well, it is H.E.R.”

It went round and round like this for many minutes.

Tuxedo wants y’all to remember that _____ is such a master of deflecting who he is onto to his opponents.

What the what … in an interview with Religion News Service, Good Christian ______ says he no longer identifies as a Presbyterian and now sees himself as a non-denominational Christian.

This is a smooth plot to free him from attending services at a Presbyterian Church on holidays to appease his base. Now he can claim that he’s feeling his Christianity while he sits in the bunker, gorges on Big Macs,  snorts Adderall and watches Fox News.

I come from a family that has been Dodger supporters since way before I was born, and it was nice to see the Dodgers win the World Series this week for the first time since the late 80s.

What wasn’t nice was Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner, after being pulled from the game after testing positive for COVID-19, going onto the field after his team’s win, hugging players and at one point removing his mask for photos.

World Series of Stupid, Justin, World Series of Stupid.

One of these things is not like the other. Throughout _____’s presidency, many people have suggested that Melanie has a double who appears with _____ when the check to Original Recipe Melanie™ doesn’t clear. Some call her, Second Lady—even though, to be fair, Melanie is _____’s Third Lady, making the double Fourth Lady. I call her The Double.

I first saw The Double when ______ and Original Recipe Melanie™ ALLEGEDLY went to Alabama after those tornadoes, and people pointed out that this “Melanie” was shorter than Original Recipe Melanie™, and had enough facial differences to be noticeable. Oh, and she almost always wears sunglasses, so you don’t see the surgically altered eyes of Original Recipe Melanie™. Folks pointed out that Original Recipe Melanie™ has a Secret Service bodyguard who looks suspiciously like her, so maybe The Double is a Secret Service officer.

And that makes me wonder if this Secret Service agent, playing the role of Original Recipe Melanie™, gets hazard pay at the taxpayer’s expense. I also notice that The Double has no aversion to holding _____’s hand, while Original Recipe Melanie™ recoils at his touch.

Up there, left is Original Recipe Melanie™, while The Double appears to the right.

Good news out of Texas … after backlash from lawmakers and LGBTQ+ advocates, a state board voted to undo a rule change that would have allowed social workers to turn away clients who are LGBTQ+ or have a disability.

Seriously, The Gays and people with disabilities can’t be parents?

Not anymore; the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council voted unanimously to restore protections for LGBTQ and disabled clients to Texas social workers’ code of conduct.

Good. Common sense … in Texas.

More good LGBTQ+ news … the US State Department withdrew its appeal in Kiviti v. Pompeo and elected not to appeal Mize-Gregg v. Pompeo which challenged the citizenship of children born abroad to married gay, US citizen couples.

It’s looks like hot, tall, gay British actor Luke Evans and Rafa Olarra may have broken up in that newfangled way: Evans unfollowed Olarra on social media and photos of the couple vanished from Evans’ Instagram page.

I feel bad, but not bad enough to tell Luke that if he needs a hug … yeah, a “hug” … he can pop over to Smallville and knock on my door and I can make him feel better.

I’ll lock Carlos in the bathroom. Just sayin’.

In one the biggest lies ever told by the ______ Administration—which is saying a lot—the White House science office listed ending the COVID-19 pandemic as an accomplishment.

Yes, y’all. The pandemic is over … even though the very same day the US reported more than 83,000 new cases of COVID, and another 1,000 people died.

Doh! A federal judge ruled this week that _____ can be personally sued for defamation in connection with his denial, while in office, of a decades-old rape allegation. The judge also rejected Billy Barr’s Justice Department’s attempt to step into the case and defend _____, which means the lawsuit filed by E. Jean Carroll can move forward against _____ in his capacity as a private citizen.

Carroll has accused ______ of raping her in a department store dressing room in the 1990s, and claims he harmed her reputation when he denied the attack and branded her a liar.

We all know I like me some Hot Mens, and share many photos of them in various stages of dress and undress, but every so often, it’s just the face that makes me swoon … like actor Kingsley Ben-Adir who appeared in the anthology series, Soulmates … and actor Shamier Anderson who also appeared in Soulmates. Then we have older silver fox model Gregg Avedon, and younger hottie Hugo Acioli

Uh huh. Hot faces.

One day, while driving home, we encountered a traffic backup right here in Smallville! I know! Que horror! Luckily, I knew of a shortcut down an old dirt road called Chestnut Ferry; Carlos asked what I was doing.
“I hate the traffic on Dekalb, so I’m going to avoid the light and that intersection and go this way.”
“Oh—”
“And I can avoid the traffic coming out of Walmart—”
To which Carlos replied:
“You mean the Walmartians?”
And he is right.
In the height of ignorance, this week _____, in Japan, said he was not “personally” bothered by recent short-range missile tests North Korea.

Sadly,  Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, standing beside _____, said the missile tests violated U.N. Security Council resolutions and were “of great regret.”

But they don’t bother _____.  Asshat.
Don't bet on seeing a Harriet Tubman $20 bill anytime soon because the redesigned bill bearing her face, which was supposed to debut next year, will not be coming out for nearly a decade … because _____.

Tubman, who was born into slavery and became a noted abolitionist and political activist, would be the first black woman to have her face on U.S. currency and would appear in 2020 to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote.

While running for office, _____ said he did not support putting Tubman on the 20, calling the plan "pure political correctness" and saying they should put Tubman on the oh-so-popular "$2 bill".

_____ is a huge fan of slave owning  Andrew Jackson so, yeah, there’s that. Racist.

UPDATE: someone has made a Harriet Tubman stamp and is stamping her face over Jackson’s on the bill. I want one!

Mississippi Congressman, and a cosponsor of that state’s abortion ban Doug McLeod was arrested last week after punching his wife because she took too long to get undressed for sex.

McLeod’s wife said her husband had “just snapped,” and often did so when he was drinking, and ALLEGEDLY whenever a woman doesn’t do what he says. McLeod was taken into custody on a charge of misdemeanor domestic violence and then released on a  $1,000 signature bond.

That’s your GOP, America.
And, from our Self Loathing Gay File comes the news that a bunch of so-called gay Republicans—quite the oxymoron—including former head of the Log Cabin Republicans, have launched a petition to Senate Majority Leader Mitch Bitch McConnell demanding that he squash any attempt to give LGBTQ people equal rights.

Even for themselves; these are gay men and women asking to be denied equality. They are literally opposing their own civil rights.

Just shows to go you  that there are stupid, asshatted gays, too.
And keeping with this WTF Is Going On thing, a group of panelists on Fox News’—yes, that Fox News—Special Report actually criticized _____ for citing murderous dictator Kim Jong Un in his comments abroad about Joe Biden.

Fox News digital politics editor Chris Stirewalt pointed out to anyone wondering why _____ is “underwater” and trailing in polls at a time when any other incumbent in his position would be “crushing it,” that it’s “stunt like this stuff in Japan are exactly why.”

And co-host Marc Thiessen agreed:
“You don’t attack your political opponents from foreign soil [and especially not by] citing the murderous dictator of North Korea.”
Again, that Fox News bashing _____.

Oh, what a world.
Now for some good LGBTQ news … the Supreme Court has denied review of Doe v. Boyertown School District, leaving a ruling in place that allows students to use the locker room or bathroom that matches their gender identity.

The march goes on …
Finally … man candy in French ballet dancer Andreas Gieson.


He looks gorgeous in a suit, gorgeous in the dance, and gorgeous when he’s nekkid.


What’s not to love?
Luke Evans. If this is what he looks like on Monday mornings, I want some. 

Hell, even is this is a one off, I want some.

I Didn't Say It ...

Luke Evans, on how being openly gay hasn’t hurt him as an actor—he’s been out for fifteen years:

"Talent, success, what you do in your personal life—I don’t see how one should have an effect on the other. ...  I don’t think I’d be in this business if I felt that I was not being employed because of who I am in my personal life, [but] I try to keep my personal life and my private life separate, not for any reason other than there’s a clue in the title—it’s private. As an actor you have to keep some sort of enigma and mystery. There’s a dignity to keeping private. I’m trying to keep a bit of dignity to my private life and to protect the people in my life. It’s the choice I’ve made. I don’t blast it from the rooftops because I’m a very private person. And it doesn’t affect anything. But it’s life. This is who I am as Luke.”

I completely agree, though, yeah, coming out is important; saying ‘I’m gay’ is a huge thing, if only because it may help others come out, too.
But after that, whatever you choose to keep private is yours to keep private.
PS Luke is hot.
Jim Sensenbrenner, Wisconsin Republican Congressman, at a town hall meeting, defending his decision to vote to repeal the Broadband Consumer Privacy Rules:

“You know, nobody’s got to use the internet. I don’t think it’s my job to tell you that you cannot get advertising through your information being sold. My job, I think, is to tell you that you have the opportunity to do it and then you take it upon yourself to make the choice.”

I’d like Sensenbrenner to be one of the first Republicans to have his information sold since he doesn’t think anyone deserves privacy.
But I’m also sacred about what his history may show because, you know, Republican.
Prince Harry, opening up about how he "shut down" when his mother, Princess Diana died:

“It was 20 years of not thinking about it and two years of total chaos ... My way of dealing with it was sticking my head in the sand, refusing to ever think about my mum, because why would that help? [I thought] it’s only going to make you sad, it’s not going to bring her back. So from an emotional side, I was like ‘right, don’t ever let your emotions be part of anything.’ So I was a typical 20, 25, 28-year-old running around going ‘life is great’, or ‘life is fine’ and that was exactly it. And then [I] started to have a few conversations and actually all of a sudden, all of this grief that I have never processed started to come to the forefront and I was like, there is actually a lot of stuff here that I need to deal with. I’ve now been able to take my work seriously, been able to take my private life seriously as well, and been able to put blood, sweat and tears into the things that really make a difference and things that I think will make a difference to everybody else.”

Grief is grief, whether your loss is more public, and world famous, than others. And I think it’s a great thing that prince Harry talked about this because there’s such a stigma on  grieving—when and for how long—and seeking help to deal with that grief.
PS Prince Harry is hot.
Markwayne Mullin, Oklahoma Republican Congressman, responding to a town hall statement that Oklahomans pay his salary and he, therefore, works for them:

“You said you pay for me to do this? Bull crap, I paid for myself. I paid enough taxes before I ever got here and continue to through my company to pay my own salary. This is a service. No one here pays me to do it. I do it as an honor and a service. I’m just saying, this is a service for me, not a career, and I thank God this isn’t how I make a living.”

He has no idea how this works. He literally thinks because he paid taxes before he got into office, then he’s paying his own salary now.
When one constituent demanded Mullin “give up the $174,000 [salary] then,” Mullin said he has paid back his salary before. Oddly enough, though, no one can prove that this is the truth.
Again ... Republican.
Oklahoma? Can’t you do better than asshats like this?
Jake Tapper, CNN news anchor, in response to _____’s hypocritical “Buy American, Hire American” executive order:

“The president just signed an order to ‘buy American’ ... so wait, does that mean he wants me to stop buying Trump products? ‘It’s time,’ the president said today, repeatedly assailing cheap subsidized and low-quality foreign goods. It’s an important issue. It’s one I asked then-candidate _____ about in June 2015 because of course, many _____ corporation products are not made in the U.S. Far from it. [And] as for hiring American, a CNN review found that the president as a corporate head has hired more than 1300 foreign guest workers to work at his various businesses here in the U.S., including requesting 78 visas to staff his two Florida properties for this year.”

I cannot fathom how his supporters have no issue with this; the man says America first but has his goods, and his Demon Spawn’s goods, made oversees; he says ‘Hire American’ and yet he asks for special concessions to hire foreign workers at his properties.
How do you people not get this?
