I Didn't Say It

Kamala Harris, Vice-President, taking  a stand against Florida’s “Don't Say Gay” law:

“I hate bullies. I can't stand it when so-called powerful people intentionally try to strike fear in innocent people. You look in Florida, [the] ‘don't say gay' bill and what this has meant for LGBTQ teachers who are now afraid. I'm looking at some 20-something-year-old teacher in Florida who has dedicated [themselves] to one of the most noble professions, which is teaching our children their God-given capacity, and that teacher who is in a loving relationship or marriage is afraid to put up a photograph of their family for fear that if the student in their classroom asks, ‘Who is that?' [that] it will raise a conversation about a same-sex relationship, and they could lose their job. Outrageous! We just have to make sure that this moment is motivating people to act and not motivating people to be afraid.”

Motivate people to speak up and stand up and vote these bigots from office, because once they come for the LGBTQ+ community and win because people were too worried or afraid to do something, they’ll come for the rest of you.

Don Bacon, Nebraska’s GOP Representative, on Thing 45 and his treasonous acts:

“We don’t have a right to take top-secret information to our home. I’ve dealt with top secrets since I was 22 years old, in the military for 30 years now, and now in Congress. You don’t show our attack plans on Iran to people who are not cleared, or pick documents that talk about our nuclear technology or where our intelligence resources are located throughout the world. And that’s what happened there. And when the government asks for them back, you give them back. And if you deny having them, but then you have them, those are crimes.”

Simple. Direct. Truthful.

And from a  Republican who has the balls to stand up the MAGAts.

Chris Christie, GOP candidate for President, responding to Thing 45 calling him fat—and, yes, this is what passes for politics in America in 2023:

“What? Like he’s some Adonis? Please. I don’t know what his point is. You know what it is? It’s like a child. It’s a bully in the schoolyard who teases you and makes fun of you. But here’s my message to him: I don’t care what he says about me. I don’t care what he thinks about me. And he should take a look in the mirror every once in a while. Maybe he’d drop the weight thing off of his list of criticisms.”

I think you both should look in a mirror and quite being a couple of whiny bitches and really tell the American people why you should be president.

And it’s not because the other guy is fatter than you.

Newt Gingrich, Fox contributor, playing up the GOP lie of stolen elections:

“I think it’s probably almost impossible under current law to ensure an accurate election. And I think the only Republican strategy in the long run is to pick issues and win by margins so big that they can still win if you have a very close election. Democrats have a passion for stealing them. When you have the local union, which takes care of people in a nursing home going in to vote, the people who literally don’t cognitively know what they’re doing, that union is going to vote every single one of them for a Democrat no matter what their personal beliefs were. In states dominated by Democrats like New York, Illinois, California, you just have to assume that the machine will steal as much as it can.”

I think that with the GOP trying to circumvent people of color from voting—just see the latest rulings on voting in Louisiana and Alabama by the Supreme Court— Newt might be right, but he fails to see that it’s his own party that’s suppressing votes and making elections seem unfair.

But that’s Newt.

Adam Kinzinger, former Representative and CNN commentator, on the recent coup attempt in Russia:

“I think you have to start thinking through every worst-case scenario. So obviously Putin out of the picture, I think generally it would be great for the world, but you think about the instability in Russia that will inevitably come from that. Even if this whole supposed coup fails, there will be some instability in Russia, which has nuclear weapons. There’s concern about proliferation if the Russian republic falls apart into even more pieces. I think on the other hand too, this is extremely good for the war in Ukraine because even if as Prigozhin is marching on Moscow, even if that fails, Wagner is out of the fight and they were a significant part of this effort against Ukraine, not to mention that all around the world Wagner protects Russian interests, whether it’s in Africa, Libya, and other places. This is a massive blow to the Russian republic, and a massive blow to their military effort, and I will also say it’s a massive blow to the people here in the United States, like say Tucker Carlson, who have been parroting Putin talking points, to have Prigozhin, the head of Wagner himself, say those have been lies. There have been a lot of people parroting those Putin lies, and the head of Wagner even just said those are lies.”

Tucker Carlson would switch gears and say he’s never been pro-Putin because once a liar …
