I Didn't Say It ,,,

Dr. Anthony Fauci, paying tribute AIDS activist Larry Kramer, who went from adversary to friend over the years:

“This is a very sad day, not only for me, but for many people who’ve had the opportunity to deal with Larry Kramer. He was a most unusual figure in a very positive sense. He was a firebrand. He had extraordinary courage to speak out and challenge the system that was in place at the time of the early years of HIV/AIDS. As a government official who was trying to do a job to address this, he saw me as the face of the federal government. And we became adversaries. I wasn’t an adversary to him, but boy, he was an adversary to me. He attacked me, he called me a murderer, he called me an incompetent idiot—I mean, publicly. But then, as I got to listen to what he had to say, I realized that he was making some important points that we in the establishment needed to listen to. We became, gradually, friends, and then we became very good friends, and then we became colleagues in the struggle. So it turned out that, you know, I loved the guy. And I think he loved me back. And it was a very interesting journey that we went through together. From the very beginning, when there was no hope, and we were adversaries, to the point where we had extraordinarily effective drugs and were able to save the lives of so many people, that we became sort of old guys together looking back at history and realizing what an amazing journey we’d been through together. So I’m very sad that we lost him. He was just an extraordinary man.”

I love that Kramer and Fauci were adversaries who learned to listen to one another and then work together.

It speaks volumes about both men.

Dan Levy, Schitt’s Creek actor and creator  and Hot Gay, on his weariness at seeing people hostile about wearing masks:

“I’ve been seeing a lot of viral videos about people who are actively not wearing masks because they perceive it to be an infringement on their freedom, and I suppose, in a way I can understand the frustration of being told what to do, which is why I would like to propose a re-contextualization of this whole thing. Imagine seeing it not as an infringement on your freedom, but rather the simplest, easiest act of kindness that you can do in a day. Not just for yourself, but for other people who might have autoimmune issues. People who, if they were to contract COVID with those issues might have some devastating repercussions. If you have the freedom to leave your house, if you have the good health to leave your house, why not put on a mask, make it your good deed for the day and do something nice for yourself and other people.”

It is the simplest form of kindness, but sadly, with what passes for leadership in our country and sets the example, many people are like _____ and have a Me First, F%k You mentality.

Kayleigh McEnany, White House Press Liar, defending _____’s Tweets about that debunked Joe Scarborough murder conspiracy theory:

“Mika accused the president of being responsible for 100,000 deaths in this country. That’s incredibly irresponsible. They’ve dragged his family through the mud, they’ve made false accusations that I won’t go through, that I would not say from this podium and they should be held to account.”

First off, you lying asshat, if Mika accused _____ of killing 100,000 people then go after her—even though she’s right. Why go after Scarborough? Oh yeah, narcissistic little baby man.

Fact: 100,000+ Americans have died because the _____ administration bungled the response to the pandemic.

Fact. Take a seat, liar.

PS: In 2015, Kayleigh McEnany called _____ a "racist" and said he made "derogatory" and "hateful" comments about Mexican immigrants.

Five years later she’s his lapdog.

Dr. Deborah Birx, on if she thinks the country is reopening too soon:

“I think a few things are together. So from the beginning, and I think when we had that first briefing, we talked about 1.2 million to 2.4 million [infected] and 100,000 to 240,000 people succumbing to this incredibly aggressive virus. Those are the figures that we continue to stand by in this first wave and really understanding how to prevent future hospitalizations and future deaths is really what we’re focused on every single day.”

But hey, a few people die so the airlines and oil companies start making millions again. Business is business and as long as it’s just old or poor or black or Latino people, who cares?

That’s how America’s “leaders” feel.

Kellyanne Conway, White House Cryptkeeper, coming out against mail-in voting:

“People very proudly show up and go to the polls. They really are, I mean they wait in line for, at Georgetown Cupcake for an hour to get a cupcake. So I think they can probably wait in line to do something as consequential and critical and constitutionally significant as cast their ballot. The Democrats don’t like their candidate, they didn’t want Joe Biden to be their nominee, so they’re looking for any which way they can to, to find other methods by which to make him more appealing to the voters.”

Two things Kelly:

#1 how pissed are your hair and makeup people at you, you rabid wet dog?

#2: so, you admit if mail-in voting occurs your president will lose?

#3: Democrats like our candidate, we don’t like yours, because, among a thousand other things, he stood by and let 100,000 people die.

Oh, and _____ votes by mail so how it is right for him and not for the rest of us? Our military men and women all around the world vote by mail\, too.

Asshat. Someone put her leash back on and drag her to the basement.

Anderson Cooper, CNN, also paying tribute to Larry Kramer:

“Larry Kramer once called me a ‘useless homosexual. I’d never met him, but it really hurt because I admired him so much. A short time after he said it, I went to see a play that he’d written, and he heard I was coming, and he waited after the performance to see me. He came up to me. I expected him to yell at me, but he shook my hand and smiled shyly and said, ‘I’ve said some terrible things about you, Anderson.’ And I said, ‘I know Larry, but that’s OK, and I want to thank you.’ Thirty-two million people have died of AIDS so far,” Cooper concluded. “There’s no vaccine yet, but there is incredibly effective treatment for those who can get it—and prevention. And Larry Kramer played a big part in that. You may not have heard of him or liked him if you did, but to me, he’s a hero, and now he’s gone.”

Larry is a hero and will always be one.
