I Didn't Say It

Spencer Cox, Utah’s GOP governor, issuing a proclamation marking June as Pride Month and calling on Utahns to be more welcoming and accepting:

“There should be nothing controversial about supporting a group of people in our state who have historically felt marginalized. We love you; we care about you; Utah is an awesome place… for everyone.”

Cox might be the only GOP governor in the nation to issue such a proclamation but it seems off somehow …

Maybe because he didn’t mention the LGBTQ+ community at all; not once. His previous proclamations on Pride in 2022 and 2021 both mentioned our community … by all the letters … LGBTQ+, but this year not a single letter.

Sarah Palin, when asked if MAGA is a cult:

“No. You know, the definition of a cult is a group of people who are excessively supporting one another and a cause. [Cults are] all about conformity and compliance and intolerance of anyone who doesn’t agree with what their mission is. Okay? That’s the definition of what the left is engaged in right now, speaking of cults. [They’re] all about conformity and compliance. And heaven forbid you don’t agree with them.”

Seriously, we dodged a massive bullet when John McCain lost his presidential election … because of her.

You can’t fix stupid. You can’t fix Palin.

John Kelly, former Thing 45 Chief of Staff, on Thing 45’s reaction to another indictment and then turning it into a campaign event:

“He’s scared s—less. This is the way he compensates for that. He gives people the appearance he doesn’t care by doing this. For the first time in his life, it looks like he’s being held accountable. Up until this point in his life, it’s like, I’m not going to pay you, take me to court. He’s never been held accountable before.”

I certainly hope this time he’s held accountable, and the next time in New Jersey, and the time in Georgia, and the time in New York …

Lindsey Graham, crying about Thing 45 being indicted, clearly worried he won’t have Fat orange ass to kiss for much longer:

“I’m an American who believes that if you believe Hillary Clinton should be prosecuted, you probably should believe that Trump should be prosecuted. If you believe she should get a pass, Trump should get a pass. No, I’m not in a cult. You know, I have taken the president on when I think he’s wrong, but what they’re doing to President Trump is a game changer for the presidency. They’ve taken the law and turned it upside down on numerous occasions to get him. You don’t have to be in a cult to find this offensive. Let the people decide whether Donald Trump should be president. Quit trying to destroy his life through a bunch of bogus legal cases in Manhattan, now in Miami, and eventually in Atlanta.”

Lindsey’s whataboutism is the classic case of what’s wrong with the GOP; deflection and lack of accountability. He’d be best served to remember that the FBI investigated Hilary for over a year and found that her server did not contain any information or emails that were clearly marked classified.

Now, if you think the FBI is corrupt and the DOJ is corrupt, go after that, but to let a criminal off because you don’t like how an earlier case ended is fucking stupid.

Just like Miss Lindsey.

Jackie Goldberg, president of the LA Unified School Board, calling out the “BS” from anti-LGBTQ protestors in California and reading from a children’s book titled The Great Big Book of Families:

“I’ve been confronting this issue my entire life I have been threatened. I have been harassed. I have been denied jobs because of who I am and who I love. At the little discussion at the school after [reading the book], as soon as the book was over, one little girl sitting at my knees said, ‘I have two mommies.’ A little boy on my other side said: ‘I have five grandmas’. What do you think [the protests] did to them?!” It made them afraid! How dare you make them afraid because you are! I’m sorry, I told you this was personal. Nobody has to accept me. I’m not looking for your acceptance, but you better treat me the same way you treat everybody else. That’s how we live in this country. “You don’t have to love me. You don’t have to like me, you can think I’m the devil incarnate. But you treat me like a decent human being because that’s how I treat you even though you don’t believe I have the right to exist.”

She continued: Her son was once harassed for having two mommies and said that the fact that her grandchildren aren’t is a sign of progress.

But there’s room for a lot more.
