An Open Letter to Kevin Spacey

Dear Kevin Spacey,

I, and most of the world, when you were sued by several young men for sexual misconduct allegations back in 2017, which led to you being fired from major projects and shunned by the film industry. Well, what I remember most is that, after years and years of rumors that you were gay, and after years and years of him vehemently denying it, you finally came as a way of seemingly explaining why you tried to assault Anthony Rapp when he was just 14:

"I have a lot of respect and admiration for Anthony Rapp as an actor. I'm beyond horrified to hear this story. I honestly do not remember the encounter ... But if I did behave then as he describes, I owe him the sincerest apology for what would have been deeply inappropriate drunken behavior. As those closest to me know, I have had relationships with both men and women. I have loved and had romantic encounters with men throughout my life, and I choose now to live as a gay man."

So much to unpack; you said, “if I did behave … as he describes,” which takes zero accountability for your actions with a child, but then you blame it on being drunk, and finally say it was because you were a closeted gay man.

I was insulted from the jump because you, as a gay man, played into that trope that closeted gay men, hell, most gay men, sexually assault young boys because we are all pedophiles. Not so, Kevin; you assaulted young men because you’re a predator who used you power and fame and influence and reputation as a well-respected actor to lure young men into hotel rooms to assault them.

You didn’t molest anyone because you were gay, you did it because you’re a predator, whether drunk or not. I lost whatever respect I had for you at the time and now you step into the light, again, to say you’re homeless because the scandal ruined your career:

“I’m living in hotels, I’m living in Airbnbs, I’m going where the work is. I literally have no home, that’s what I’m attempting to explain.”

Oh I am heartbroken. You live in hotels and Airbnbs? And that’s homelessness? I imagine a great many unhoused people would love to have the funds to live in a nice hotel—because we all know you’re not staying at Motel 6 down by the highway—or at an Airbnb:

“I’ve had very little coming in and everything going out … Everything is in storage, and I hope at some point, if things continue to improve, that I’ll be able to decide where I want to settle down again.”

So, you have lots of things in storage that I’m sure you pay for and live in hotels as you travel the world for work and you want, what, sympathy? Sorry, Kevin, not sorry. This is a mess of your making and you have yet to fess up to what you’ve done and fully apologize for it, and you have continued to play the victim.

The booze made you assault young men and boys.

Being gay made you do it.

And now you want us to believe you’re homeless?

Not happening. You’re responsible for this and any time you try to play the victim card you are negating the lives of all those men and boys that you assaulted.

Ain't That America X

Another week down and the Midterms cannot come quickly enough … Faux Christians watching porn at work … Nazi Mace … White House Press Liar doesn’t pay her bills … Epstein …  GOP boosts White Nationalist to power … Another Republican paying for his mistress’ abortion … Another Felon supporter arrested for child porn … but some good news … the courts are stepping up and stopping the regime … Leon Skum causes another explosion … MAGAts cannot spell the name of the state they want to represent … and President Cankles, the most bloated gasbag on the planet, wants to reinstate the president’s fitness test … seriously …

Ryan Walters, Oklahoma’s State Superintendent of Public Instruction, was accused of watching porn on his work TV and claims it was a lie and a setup:

“We have got a gross accusation that has already been proven, by OMES [Office of Management and Services] and the sheriff’s office, to be impossible to have happened. There’s no devices connected to that cable TV.”

BUT … an OMES report says Walters’ claim about the TV’s streaming capabilities was a lie. The TV had cable access and was connected to an empty DVD player and connected to the state’s open WiFi network. A one-time passcode was required to access screen casting to the TV, limiting the number of people with casting ability to the device.

Good Christian MAGAt Walter’s is lying.

South Carolina GOP Representative, transphobic fool, and all-around liar, Nancy Mace, teased a run for South Carolina governor because the state has “gone woke” and says one of her  “favorite things to watch on YouTube these days are the court hearings where illegals are in court and ICE shows up to drag them out of court and deport them.”

Let me give one example of how “woke South Carolina is; we have the death penalty here and the governor has paved the way for death by firing squad.

I think lynching may be next.

The Felon’s White House press secretary, KKKaroline Leavitt  has a money problem that won’t go away. It seems her 2022 congressional campaign committee failed to pay off a penny of the $326,370.50 it owes across more than 100 creditors.

Leavitt, as you may know, loves to rant about “deadbeats” over their student loan payments and poor people who “expect government handouts” such as Medicaid and food stamps.

Every GOP accusation is an admission.

The FCC’s approval of CBS owner Paramount’s $8 billion merger with Skydance came with a condition to install a “bias monitor” to make sure the news company’s reporting meets standards demanded by The Felon.

Bye CBS.

The Felon now says he ended his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein and threw the now-disgraced financier out of his private club in Florida after Epstein betrayed him more than once by hiring people who had worked for him.

Every day the story changes because … He’s on the list.

Marco Rubio on the idea that he may run for the White in 2028 … hold for laughter … though may change his mind if JD Vance … hold for laughter … wants the job.

I know of no two other Republicans more disliked by their own party except for maybe Ted Cruz.

Hell let ‘em all run.

Senate Republicans voted this week to confirm Joe Kent, who buddied up with white nationalist Nick Fuentes, gives interviews to Nazi sympathizers, downplayed the extremism of the neofascist Proud Boys, and grouped the Black Lives Matter movement with “child trafficking rings and cartels,” saying they should all face “federal terrorism charges,” was named to lead the National Counterterrorism Center; every Republican but one, Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina, voted for him.

That’s the GOP … add a racist, terrorist, and far-right wingnut to a Counterterrorism office.

Texas GOP Congressman Giovanni Capriglione who rammed through a six-week abortion ban in his state has been exposed as having a 17-year long affair and paid for several abortions for his mistress. He has also recently resigned from office though claims the whole story is a lie.

Remember, every GOP accusation is a confession.

Texas GOP Senator, Rafael Cruz, taking time from his Greek vacation while Texas flooded, has actually claimed lied that, after the shooting in New York City, the Democrats are coming for your guns.

Except what Democrats, and most Americans, wants, is stronger gun laws, assault weapons off the streets and background checks.

What Ted Cruz wants is to stoke fear amongst his gun-toting base to stay in office so he can take another holiday while Texas floods, or burns, or blows away, or loses power or another elementary school gets shot up by a lunatic with an assault weapon..

Scott Soucek of Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, a fervent Felon supporter who said he cast his 2024 vote to fight child trafficking, has been charged with 10 counts of possessing child pornography.

Soucek isn’t just a Felon supporter, he is also married to a leading GOP Party operative in the state.

Again, every GOP accusation is a confession and, once again, ever notice how all these pedophiles and child porn lovers are also Felon supporters?

Judge Jesse M. Furman of the Federal District Court for the Southern District of New York permanently barred The Felon’s administration from imposing penalties on two law professors over their involvement with the International Criminal Court, finding that the threat violated their First Amendment rights.

Smackdown.

It is being reported that Leon Skum’s America Party will likely never launch, but if it does, expect to explode in midair.

Along with France and Canada, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has said Great Britain will recognize the state of Palestine in September unless the Israeli government takes substantive steps to end the “appalling situation” in Gaza, reaches a ceasefire, makes clear there will be no annexation in the West Bank, and commits to a long-term peace process that delivers a Two State Solution.

Stand up!

Stephen Flynn, the Scottish National Party MP for Aberdeen South, refused to meet with The Felon because, he says, he was busy washing his hair and had his own toddlers to looks after.

Hey world? Be like Stephen.

U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani in Boston has ruled Planned Parenthood clinics nationwide must continue to be reimbursed for Medicaid funding as the nation’s largest abortion provider fights The Felon’s administration over efforts to defund the organization in his signature Tax Scam for Billionaires.

Resist!

U.S. Wisconsin GOP Representative Bryan Steil was met with consistent boos during a town hall over his support for The Felon’s fascist policies.

His in-person town hall was the first for a Wisconsin Republican since House GOP leadership advised members to avoid the in-person event to avoid public protests.

In other words, hide from your constituents.

MAGAt Representative Mike Collins of Georgia has his work cut out for him as he enters the 2026 Republican Senate primary field and not just because his GOP challengers will include another MAGAt candidate and former college football coach Derek Dooley, who reportedly has Governor Brian Kemp’s support.

Meanwhile, Democrat Jon Ossoff is building massive momentum to take on whichever MAGAt steps up,

But the funny is that Collins stumbled right out of the gate with an early campaign video that misspelled the name of the state he’s running in:

This is one time I can’t actually blame him … apparently The Felon appeared to doze off again in public this week when “Dr.” Mehmet Oz spoke of a new health-tracking system at the White House.

Perhaps DonOLD needs a new heath tracking system?

Make it make sense … President Cankles has signed an executive order reinstating the national fitness assessment implemented in public schools from 1956 until 2013. And the role of administering the test will fall to HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

So, the unhealthiest human on the planet wants a fitness test for public school students and wants the drug addict and brain worm infected moron who took a swim in sewage to administer it?

Keep calm and …

Last week when we got pricked—by an incredibly beautiful military man—both Carlos and I wondered if it would hurt. Neither one of us could remember the last time we’d been pricked, medically speaking, and so we were slightly apprehensive.

But it was easy peasy and over before we knew it, and then we had to sit in another room and wait fifteen minutes to make sure there were no immediate side effects. We took a seat and I glanced at the clock; it was 11:30.Okay, 11:45 and we’d be on our way. Carlos was sitting in a chair the requisite six feet away and had his phone out:

“Hey Siri? Set a timer for fifteen minutes.”

Then he looked at me and said:

“Did you ask your Siri to set an alarm?”

“No. I’m gonna go wild and just look at the clock on the wall.”

Several people in the room chuckled and I almost got up and gave them a fifteen-minute set. But Carlos got most of the chuckles because every so often I’d hear:

“Twelve minutes, seven seconds.”

“Nine minutes, 33 seconds.”

“Seven minutes, 54seconds.”

“Three minutes, 45 seconds.”

Gosh, that man slays me.

We have no idea how old Tuxedo is. When we rescued him from an animal hospital Carlos managed in Miami, he was a grown-assed cat, so I’m thinking he was a year or more. We’ve lived in Smallville almost fifteen years, and had him for about a year before that, so he’s seventeen? Just a guess.

And he’s getting older. He has issues with his kidneys and is on a special diet, which he actually loves; and he’s so smart that he will not even bother with the “other cat’s” food but will wait for his meals. He’s also lost some muscle mass in his back legs and so he is no longer a jumper. That cat that used to jump to a high closet shelf, a bathroom counter, a high bed, now doesn’t jump at all, and when he wants to sit in my lap, he puts his front paws on my knee and I hoist him up.

However, he still loves sitting in a windowsill on a sunny morning, and the sills at Casa Bob y Carlos are about 14 inches off the ground but even that’s too high for him; and, because some vicious person declawed him before we saved him, he has no front claws to help him up. So, again, he’s very smart, he uses his paws to grab the sill and then stretches his legs out so that his, what I would call forearms, are on the sill, and he lifts himself onto the sill, and then naps.

Breaks my heart, but he makes do, and is still a loving sweet smart boy.

What do you get when you cross a moron with a sexual predator?

You get GQP wingnuts Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene who are teaming up to start an “America First Tour” of rallies around the country.

Lock up your teenage daughters and get out your Moron to English dictionaries America, the loons are on the loose.

Until recently, Ohio was one of two states that prohibited trans people from correcting the gender listed on their birth certificates but those days are nearly over.

In a few weeks, the Ohio Department of Health will unveil a process by which trans people can update their birth certificates to reflect their lived gender.

It’s about time, Ohio. Now, the only state left in the U.S. that refuses to allow trans people to apply for birth certificates that are authentic to their identities is, wait for it, you know it, Tennessee.

In other good news for trans Americans, down there in Texas … yes, Texas … Jace King is the first openly trans teen in their town, in Texas, in the entire country, to become an Eagle Scout.

Jace joined a BSA troop in 2019, after the group began allowing youth of all genders to join. That inclusion made possible King’s lifelong dream to become an Eagle Scout like their older brother. But they had to work fast to achieve it before turning 18, and so Jace  did so, earning the rank of Eagle Scout, which usually takes four to six year, in 25 months.

Bravo, Jace.

More good trans news? Yes, please. Pennsylvania Governor, and Democrat, Tom Wolf has told the GOP-majority legislature that if they pass a ban on trans girls and women in sports, it will be vetoed.

And while the GOP has a majority in both the state house and senate, it does not have a two-thirds majority in either chamber, the required amount to override a veto by the governor.

Thank you, Governor Wolf, for seeing hate and discrimination for what it is, and refusing to allow it.

I like me some HGTV. I like seeing new ideas for things to do in the house or the garden, and so I was kinda interested to see Inside Out, a new show where an interior designer and a landscape designer work together on both the inside and outside of the home.

And I was especially happy to see the hosts, designer Carmine Sabatella and landscaper Mike Pyle, two beefy hot hunks of men. And my gaydar pinged a little though I couldn’t tell if it was for sweet talking Carmine or hunk with that smile Mike, so I went to my old buddy Google, who told me that Mike has a girlfriend—whatever—but Carmine has a husband—I knew it—the hottie below, Ryan Delair.

I was kinda hoping for Mike because, sheesh, that smile, but I could be the meat in a Carmine Ryan sammich, with a side of Mike.

Kimberly Guilfoyle, girlfriend of the twice-impeached, one-term loser’s son, Diaper Don, says that she  “knows” Vice President Kamala Harris is secretly in charge of the White House:

“It’s really sad, [Biden’s] way in over his skis. Kamala Harris is really the de facto commander-in-chief. She made it very clear. She’s calling the shots here, I know this, I’ve known her a long time.”

Yes, Botox Barbie, the stripper of the GQP, and perhaps Junior’s coke dealer, wants us to believe that not only does she know the Vice President, but that she knows the Veep is running things.

Hey Kimberly? Get off the pole. You’re a joke.

The adult children of the twice-impeached, one-term loser have cost taxpayers a lot of money over the years, and now we know from Secret Service records that in the first thirty days after Daddy fled DC, his children’s’ travel cost taxpayers over $140,000; that figure doesn’t include charges at family-owned properties where the demon spawn charged the US government to stay at their own hotels.

The reason these charges are different is that they all occurred after Biden’s inauguration, and, ordinarily, a former president’s children are no longer entitled to Secret Service protection. But the Grifter In Chief—who is one of the :::coughcough::: richest men in the world—extended the protection for his family members and three top appointees by six months, giving more time to funnel money to his own properties.

Grifters gonna grift.

Mitch McConnell said this week:

"100% of my focus is on stopping this new administration."

Which means he and the rest of the GQP will work to get nothing done about financial aid for struggling Americans, ending the pandemic, improving environmental protections, and updating our crumbling infrastructure, or anything at all.

Once again, they will do no work, but take their paychecks and ask you to vote them back into power.

Daniel Dexter is a model and an artist and an exercise physiologist.

I only know what some of those words mean, but I do know he is all kinds of dreamboat.

Just sayin’.
