I Didn't Say It

Volodymyr Zelenskyy, president of Ukraine, to those who offered to help him get out to the country:

"I need ammunition, not a ride."

This is a leader. Our last president crawled into a secret room under the White House when protesters came marching down his street, while GOP asshat Ted Cruz tried to escape to Mexico when his constituents in Texas were freezing and starving during a massive power outage.

In a world of Thing 45’s and Ted Cruz’s, be a Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Ron Johnson, tinfoil hat wearing GOP loon from Wisconsin, on who is at fault for the Ukraine invasion [hint: it ain’t Putin]:

“I do not think Vladimir Putin would have moved on Ukraine if it were not for the weakness displayed certainly by the Biden administration, but also by the west in general. And I’m certainly hoping that Vindman, Adam Schiff, Nancy Pelosi, who used Ukraine as a pawn in their impeachment travesty, are also recognizing and reflecting they weakened Ukraine. They weakened the west, weakened America by the divisive politics that they play. There’s much blame to go around.”

Johnson is so QAnon’d that he has forgotten it was Thing 45 who withheld military aid from Ukraine, and it was Thing 45 who demanded a “favor” from Zelenskyy in exchange for the aid, and it was Thing 45 who weakened Ukraine.

And it was Senator Johnson who voted to acquit in the impeachment hearings, so maybe Ron should take a good long seat.. Sit this one out, Senator.

Mitt Romney, Utah’s GOP Senator, on Congressmembers Marjorie Taylor Greene and Paul Gosar speaking at a white nationalist event in Florida:

“I’m reminded of that old line from the Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid movie. One character says, ‘Morons. I’ve got morons on my team.’ I have to think anybody that would sit down with white nationalists and speak at their conference was certainly missing a few IQ points.”

Morons who spoke in front of racists and then acted like they had no idea.

Serious morons.

Elliot Page, trans actor, condemning Texas government officials for declaring that medical care for transgender youths is child abuse:

“I am horrified by the inhumane and downright dangerous declarations by the Texas Governor and Attorney General. Trans youth deserve gender-affirming care and to be able to live their true, authentic selves without fear and oppression. I stand with trans youth and their families.”

Texas. It’s hate and fear and loathing as long as the GOP is in charge. They won’t fix their electric grid issues or stem the tide of mass shootings, but they will punish parents of trans kids and trans kids.

It’s sickening.

Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House, on GOP loons Lauren Boebert  and Marjorie Taylor Greene—AKA TweedleDumb and TweedleNazi—heckling President Biden during his State of the Union address:

"I agree with what Senator Lindsey Graham said. Shut up. That's what he said to them. I think they should just shut up."

Sadly, these two mean girls, still stuck in their mean girl high school phase, think anyone cares what gibberish they spout.

We don’t care.

Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Kimmel Live! host, on GOP Senator Marco Rubio skipping the State of the Union address because he didn’t want to take the required Covid-19 test:

“If they swab his nose, it would probably test positive for [Thing 45’s] butt.”

Or they might put the swab so far up his nose they’d find out what we’ve all suspected for years: Rubio’s head is empty.

Seth Meyers, host of Late Night, on hyenas Boebert and Greene’s childish antics during Biden’s State of the Union speech:

“[Their actions] might make you angry but if I’ve learned any one thing from watching Real Housewives, it’s that two white ladies this erratic will eventually turn on one another. All these people want is attention and they’re willing to do anything to get it, including yelling at the president during an address to the nation. And look, I don’t care that much about decorum. I do care about not being annoying, and these two are some of the most annoying people I’ve ever seen on the national stage. I mean, they’re like a non-stop national hangnail.”

They’re pathetic because they have nothing to offer the country other than outbursts and ignorance.
