I Didn't Say It ...

Jamaal Bowman, Democrat Representative from New York, on Nimrata Haley’s “finish them” autograph on an Israeli bomb:

“Nikki Haley is disgusting. She’s a disgusting human being to do that. That’s genocidal language and it’s the language that has the American people turning against our government. Why do we continue to support not just the consistent attacks in Gaza, but the forever wars? There are people in our country, their entire lives, me included, it seems like we’re constantly at war with someone spending trillions, killing millions, while people are suffering and starving and dying right here in our country.”

Nimrata is seemingly trying to out-pig Kristi Noem, but they are both equally disgusting and gun and bomb happy.

Jesse Watters, Fox host, on the hush money trial of Hair Furor:

“This whole case is a joke. If you’re running a media conglomerate, if you’re running a hotel chain, running these companies all over the world, in Muslim countries, in Europe and Asia, anything that’s bad news for you personally is bad for the brand. And you’re a billionaire and you have this coming out in the middle of nowhere? Forget about protecting your family. That’s the obvious concern. Secondary concern is the business. You can’t have some porn star extorting you. A hundred and thirty grand is nothing for Donald Trump. You pay that. It’s nuisance. Make it go away. That’s common sense.”

First off, Jesse, you moron; this isn’t about paying off a porn star so she won’t talk about your tiny mushroom dick.

This is about paying off a porn star so she won’t talk about your tiny mushroom dick because you’re running for president and covering up the money trail.

Plus, even you, as ignorant as you are , don’t believe for a second he was protecting his family! He was protecting his ego and his presidential bid. A man who has been married three times and cheated on all three of his wives doesn’t give a rat’s ass about family, especially when you’re schtupping the porn star while your wife is back at the manse with your infant son.

Oh Jesse, just come out already and admit you wish you were Stormy in that hotel room.

Michael Fanone, American law enforcement analyst, author, and retired Metropolitan Police Department officer, who defended the capitol on January 6:

“This election is about [Hair Furor] and his vision for the office of the President, not as a public servant, but as an authoritarian who answers to and serves only himself.”

Listen. He speaks the truth.

Inmate # P01135809,, honoring our military men and women who lost their lives in service to America:

“Happy Memorial Day to All, including the Human Scum that is working so hard to destroy our Once Great Country, & to the Radical Left, [Hair Furor] Hating Federal Judge in New York that presided over, get this, TWO separate trials, that awarded a woman, who I never met before [a quick handshake at a celebrity event, 25 years ago, doesn’t count!], 91 MILLION DOLLARS for ‘DEFAMATION.’ She didn’t know when the so-called event took place—sometime in the 1990’s—never filed a police report, didn’t have to produce the ‘dress’ that she threatened me with [it showed negative!], & sung my praises in the first half of her CNN Interview with Alison Cooper, but changed her tune in the second half—Gee, I wonder why [UNDER APPEAL!]? The Rape charge was dropped by a jury! Or Arthur Engoron, the N.Y. State Wacko Judge who fined me almost 500 Million Dollars [UNDER APPEAL] for DOING NOTHING WRONG, used a Statute that has never been used before, gave me NO JURY, Mar-a-Lago at $18,000,000—Now Now for Merchan!” 

He said he didn't rape E. Jean Carroll because "she's not my type."

She has a dress with male DNA on it but he refuses to have his DNA tested.

Yeah, nothing to see here except a desperate, near illiterate word salad.

Stephen Colbert, joking … or is he:

“[Hair Furor’s] minions aren’t being subtle about their authoritarian plans if [he] wins the next election. [Hair Furor] shared a video on social media that referenced a ‘unified Reich’ if he’s elected. Evidently, MAGA now stands for ‘Make America Germany Around 1938’!”

Truth in humor. Listen.

Melinda Gates, in a New York Times op-ed:

“Many years ago, I received this piece of advice: ‘Set your own agenda, or someone else will set it for you.’ I’ve carried those words with me ever since. That’s why, next week, I will leave the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, of which I was a co-founder almost 25 years ago, to open a new chapter in my philanthropy. To begin, I am announcing $1 billion in new spending over the next two years for people and organizations working on behalf of women and families around the world, including on reproductive rights in the United States. Despite the pressing need, only about 2 percent of charitable giving in the United States goes to organizations focused on women and girls, and only about half a percentage point goes to organizations focused on women of color specifically. When we allow this cause to go so chronically underfunded, we all pay the cost. As shocking as it is to contemplate, my 1-year-old granddaughter may grow up with fewer rights than I had.”

Why is it the ex-wives of billionaires are more philanthropic with their billions after the divorce? Is it because their ex-husbands believe their size of bank account is directly correlated to the size of their penis?

Just wondering …

Bobservations

This is a quiz … which one of these is Carlos and which one is me. Of note, this is not our actual vacuum, it is used for quiz purposes only but, again, which one of us is the sociopath?

This Tuxedo memory is from April 2017:

“I didn’t see a single Hot Man on television this week ... at least none that hadn’t been seen here before. So I decided to post a photo of the Hottest Man at Casa Bob y Carlos ...

Sadly, Carlos wouldn’t pose, so I’ll go with the second Hottest Man in the house.

I kid ... this is the hottest man in our house: Tuxedo.

Oy! Look at the punum on that cat!”

And still the hottest cat ever!

Something to ponder … politicians gladly accept a daily per diem to buy meals and such and then they head back to Congress and vote against making school lunches free.

Make it make sense.

Pride this year at Target is shaping up to be smaller and quieter than it once was and you might not see it at all.

Last year, Target's Pride collection featured more than 2,000 items online, but this year’s assortment consists of fewer than 75 items.

Thanks, but no thanks Target.

On the other hand … Walmart is promoting its new Pride apparel on Instagram ahead of Pride month, writing:

“Not just a slogan. #PrideAlways is a reminder to lead with love.”

Walmart’s Pride collection includes products like a notebook that says “beyond gender” a tote bag that says “totes gay,” a fanny pack with “I heart gay people” on it and rainbow-colored products like a pool floatie and an apron.

I don’t shop at Walmart, but props to them for having a spine.

It’s the simple things in life … and I am nothing if not a simpleton, but every time I see this cartoon it cracks me up.

Apparently the state of Massachusetts has instituted a Millionaire Tax and it has already $1.8 BILLION for things like roads and bridges, schools and childcare.

Tax.The.Rich.

The Ohio Supreme Court has rejected the state’s request to ban gender-affirming care for trans youth.

A victory for our trans brothers and sisters.

Isn’t it interesting how a man who claims to have no say about how his wife flies a flag at their home thinks he can tell other women what to do with their bodies.

Lucas Nicolas Bravo, age 35, is a French actor and model best known for starring in the Netflix series Emily in Paris though I think he’s best known for Would You Hit It?

Architecture Wednesday: Shoreditch Loft

I love a good loft that mixes urban industrial with rustic charm and modern amenities and this two-bedroom live/work apartment that unfolds across two floors of a Victorian warehouse in the heart of Shoreditch is just my cup of tea.

The interiors have been the subject to a contemporary renovation while also preserving the character of the original warehouse while adding understated design features, including a stainless steel kitchen and shelving wall.

You enter the apartment on the top floor, where the front door opens onto a light-filled, open-plan great room; double-height ceilings with exposed wooden beams extend overhead while original dark-stained floorboards run throughout, and large sash windows along the entire north and south-facing sides of the building create a voluminous space perfect for entertaining. A guest batroom and storage space are located behind the kitchen.

The kitchen is bounded by a curved island with stainless steel worktops and arresting dark grey cabinetry, reflecting the shelving wall unit on the opposite side of the room. From the living area, a spiral staircase leads up to a mezzanine level with white-painted floorboards. It is set up as an office space, but would make an excellent guest sleeping area as it has a dressing room and an adjacent bathroom with a roll-top bath and separate walk-in shower.

The bedrooms are downstairs, where you find two large double bedrooms with impressive double-height ceilings and full-height built-in wardrobes; there is also a large bathroom on this floor, largely executed in neutral white and concrete-style tiles with chrome fixtures, and a convenient utility cupboard with space for a washing machine and dryer is concealed along the hall.

It’s all you could want, and in a desirable area; it’s five minutes from the galleries, cafes, bars and restaurants of Shoreditch and Hoxton Square and a short walk to the iconic Barbican Centre—Europe’s largest  center for the Arts: cinemas, galleries, concert halls and theatres. The East End markets—Columbia Road, Brick Lane, Spitalfields and Broadway Market—are a short stroll away.

For green space, Mark Street Gardens lies within strolling distance, and five minutes north is Hoxton Square and Aske Gardens Park, with tennis and basketball courts. Adjacent Shoreditch Park provides seven acres of recreational space, with tennis, swimming, and gym facilities. The Park also includes an amphitheater, multiple sports pitches and a giant boulder for rock climbing.

It does seem to have everything …
