I Didn't Say It

Rikkie Valerie Kollé, the first transgender woman ever to be crowned Miss Netherlands, taking on the bigots and transphobes:

“I was not accepted by society because they did not want to embrace my differences. But guess what? … I chose not to surrender. I was in full disbelief when I was crowned Miss Universe Netherlands as the first transgender woman, ever. I’m proud of that and the night was amazing. [But] they see us as monsters, and my daily DMs are full of people wishing me dead  and telling me to [commit] suicide, those things are terrible to write, but at the same [time] ... the only thing I want to say to the haters is, thank you because you’re giving me a bigger platform than I can ever imagine. I want to speak up for the trans people who need it. As a little kid I didn’t have someone to look up to. I really want to be that role model and inspiration for others. I also want to do something [for] the trans healthcare waiting list [in The Netherlands]. The lists are really, really long. And that needs to change because people need to get help as soon as they can because it’s a necessary thing [for people’s mental health]. I made my community proud and showed it can be done. Yes, I am a trans woman and I would like to share my story, but I am also Rikkie and that is what counts for me. I did this on my own strength and enjoyed every moment.” 

What the world needs to more idols and icons like Kollé, who will now go on to compete in the Miss Universe pageant in El Salvador as only the second transgender woman ever to compete in the international contest.

Here’s hoping for another win.

Michael Elizabeth Pence, GOP presidential candidate … hold for laughter … on his pro-life stance:

“I just have heard so many stories over the years of courageous women and families who were told that their unborn child would not go to term or would not survive. And then they had a healthy pregnancy and a healthy delivery. I’m pro-life. I don’t apologize for it. I want to always err on the side of life. I would hold that view in these matters because … I honestly believe that we got this extraordinary opportunity in the country today to restore the sanctity of life to the center of American law.”

A President Pence would support forcing women whose fetuses have zero chance of survival to carry them to term—in other words, to literally carry a fetus inside them that will not survive after birth or might be born dead.

That’s sickening to do to a woman.

Jeanine Pirro, Fox News' favorite drunk auntie, is furious about CocaineGate and Hunter Biden:

“Where are the canines? Why don’t you know everyone who’s gone through there? It’s all hogwash. You vacated the building, it was so dangerous when you saw that, what you thought might be anthrax. And now you don’t have anything to say about it. So it’s either a cover up, they’re inept. And in addition to drug testing the staffers I think they got to stop lying to us and coming out and saying—we know Hunter was there. The reason this is so important is Hunter doesn’t get the plea deal if they can pin this on him. And finally, why is Hunter Biden always in our face? Why is this guy at the White House? Why is he on Air Force One? Why is he in Ireland? Why is his [sic] idiot State Department dinners? This guy is either a drug addict or a reformed drug addict. We shouldn’t have to deal with him constantly in our face.”

Oh Jeanine, put down the box of chardonnay and listen. As a much better judge … Judge Judy … than you once said, God gave you two ears and one mouth for a reason:

Hunter Biden is at the White House because he’s a member of the First Family, much like Junior and The Dumb One during the last guy’s inept reign of stupidity. But for you, YOU, to ask why Hunter Biden is always in your face, turn around and look at your own lying, hypocritical, dumbass news channel: a Google search for “Hunter Biden” mentions at the Fox News website returned over 90,000 results; in fact, mentioned Hunter Biden over 400 times in the last two weeks.

Maybe if you’d shut your goddamned mouth, Jeanine, and lay off the wine, you wouldn’t hear the name, much less say the name, Hunter Biden so much.

George Santos, doing what he does best, which is prop himself up and lie:

“They come for me, I go right back for them because I think for far too long they’ve gotten away with going along to get along. So no, it’s not going to stay that way anymore. I’m gonna call them out. You want to call me a liar. I’ll call you a sellout. I mean Mitt Romney, the man goes to the State of the Union of the United States wearing a Ukraine lapel pin tells me, a Latino gay man that I shouldn’t sit in the front and that I should be in the back. Well, guess what? Rosa Parks wouldn’t sit in the back and neither am I going to sit in the back. That’s just the reality of how it works. Mitt Romney lives in a very different world, and he needs to buckle up because it’s gonna be a bumpy ride for him.”

First up you delusional fuck, Romney didn’t tell you to sit in the back, and didn’t say a word about you being gay or Latino. He said you, with your litany of lies, do not belong in Congress.

Secondly, do not ever compare yourself to Rosa Parks, who did more for the world in her simple act of defiance than you will ever do.

Take a seat, George, if that’s really your name, and keep Rosa's name out of your damned mouth.
