I Didn't Say It

Mark Kelly, US Navy combat veteran and Democrat Senator from Arizona, on the bombing of boats in the Caribbean and killing any survivors:

“This president, when he says things like ‘third world countries,’ what is he really saying? I think what he’s saying is he doesn’t want brown people in our country. And that’s disturbing. It’s un-American. If what has been reported is accurate, I’ve got serious concerns about anybody in that chain of command stepping over a line that they should never step over. We are not Russia. We are not Iraq. We hold ourselves to a very high standard. Going after survivors in the water—that is clearly not lawful. We have a president who doesn’t understand the Constitution, who installed an unqualified secretary of defense. I cannot think of a secretary of defense in the history of our country that is less qualified than Pete Hegseth. He should’ve been fired after Signal-gate.”

Grifters and drunks are in charge and what happens is that we become a country killing people that the regime “suspects” to be trafficking drugs while Cankles pardons a real drug runner in former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández.

Rand Paul, Kentucky GOP Senator, on Pete Hegseth:

“Secretary Hegseth said he had no knowledge of this, and it did not happen. It was fake news. It didn’t happen. And then the next day, from the podium at the White House [they] are saying it did happen. So, either he was lying to us … or he’s incompetent and didn’t know it had happened. Do we think there’s any chance that the secretary of the defense did not know there had been a second strike? So as a country, we’re just going to let people lie to us, to our face?”

He's incompetent and he’s a liar; he’s a war criminal and he’s a murderer. And now even some in the GOP are seeing it.

Jessica Tarlov,  political strategist for the Democratic Party and a rotating co-host of The Five on Fox News, on the murder ordered by Pete Hegseth and Cankles in the Caribbean:

“The government has carried out seven strikes, killed thirty-two people, produced zero indictments, and still can’t show a shred of evidence [the victims] were [drug] traffickers. The admiral running the mission quit rather than own it. This isn’t ‘national security.’ It’s state-sanctioned killing dressed up as counterterrorism and they’re hoping you don’t ask why the courts were never involved.”

I have stealing Venezuela's oil fields and giving them to Cankles in my Fascism Bingo Card.

And, oh yeah, I also have Distract from the Epstein Files.

Mark Hertling, Retired US Army Lieutenant, on disobeying illegal orders from grifters and drunks and criminals:

“For what it’s worth, as a commander and officer, it was my duty, moral obligation and legal requirement to first question and then not obey any illegal order I was given. The same is true for everyone who swears the oath. Hope that clears things up.”

How hard is this to understand? Don’t help anyone break the law and if you do, do you think Cankles and his regime will protect you??

Rachel Maddow, reading KKKarolying Leavitt’s resume live on air, after Leavitt called her activism ‘outdated, irrelevant, and based on a world that doesn’t exist anymore’:

"Let’s do a little homework together, sweetheart … Karoline Leavitt. Born 1997. Former White House assistant—lasted eight months. Lost two congressional races—both by double digits. Hosts a podcast that averages fewer listeners than my nightly show. Claims to fight for ‘free speech,’ yet blocks everyone who disagrees. And her latest achievement? Calling someone who’s spent decades reporting, analyzing, and informing the public ‘irrelevant’ while trending for the wrong reasons. Baby girl, I’ve reported from the frontlines of politics, covered stories that matter, and challenged those in power with facts, integrity, and rigor. I’ve been questioned by critics with more fame and less knowledge than you. You don’t scare me"

Snap.

Don’t come for Rachel, Little Lying Girl, because you are way out of your depth. She has little time for faux-christian liars and goose-stepping fascists wearing crosses.

Greg Walker, GOP Senator from Indiana, has refused Cankles’ request to travel to Washington and meet with him, saying that it violated the Hatch Act:

“I refused [the invitation], but the underling who reached out to me is trying to influence the election on my dime. That individual works for me. He works for you. He’s on my payroll, he’s on your payroll, and he’s campaigning on company time. That’s a violation of the Hatch Act. He’s a federal employee. He works in the White House. But does anyone care about the rules anymore? Not that I can tell. How does [Cankles] have the time to mess with a nobody like me with all of the important matters that are to take his attention as the leader of the executive branch in this nation? There is no way that he should have time to have a conversation with me about Indiana mapmaking when that’s not his business, for starters. But secondly, doesn’t he have anything better to do? I can make a big list of things that are more important for him to focus on.”

It’s rare to see a Republican so openly refusing to pay homage to Cankles and Walker is far from the only Republican to do so recently. It’s nice to see the tide turning, though let’s be clear that it’s turning because the GOP is seeing chinks in Cankles’ flaccid armor.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Democrat Representative from New York, on Marjorie Taylor Greene pretending to have principles by resigning when it’s just a coin grab:

“She’s carefully timing her departure just 1–2 days after her pension kicks in and after making millions of dollars insider trading stocks for weapons manufacturers and others while in office. She is saying a lot but her ACTIONS have not backed up the rhetoric. For all her talk, she’s STILL voting with them to gut healthcare and advance self-dealing corruption schemes!”

Large Marge is playing us all , pretending to be tired of the GOP and Cankles and The Little Johnson when she is just doing it to get herself a nice little money bag.

  1. Have Hegseth and the Orange One and all their cronies not heard of the Geneva Convention??

    1. Oh, they've heard of it. They just don't think it applies to them. Especially the Orange One, because he's gotten away with committing crimes his entire life.

  2. It's nice to know that there are intelligent voices out there and that they are speaking loudly. I do not doubt that something untoward will happen to a majority of the lemming crowd that bow to Trump, I just wish it would happen sooner rather than later.

  3. The Nuremberg trials made it clear that following illegal orders was not a defence when charged with criminal behaviour during a war....whether a real war in the case of WW2 or a fake war on drugs.

  4. The problem with Kegsbreath --- as I see it, anyway --- he never should have been confirmed. The Senate owns the misdeeds, and every senator who voted to confirm should be called out.
    KKKarolying picking a fight with Rachel is like telling Neil deGrasse Tyson he doesn't know shit about the cosmos. You gotta be a special kind of stupid.

  5. Cankles and The Little Johnson sounds like a porn parody. Yes, I went there and I wish I would stop.

    🤨 Well, look who just caught up, Rand Paul!! "We're just gonna let them lie to us, to our face?" Hey, Rand, those lies began more than a decade ago!
    A lot of Trump supporters are feeling economic pain and are turning against him...good. But, I don't think they care about his lies. They have never really cared about that. But, the lies used to be fun and now they're just tired and lame...like Trump himself. Trump is boring them to death! His lies aren't loud enough and angry enough. There is a huge difference between 💪 "I Am Your Retribution!" and 🫩 "who? Who did I pardon? I don't know who that is." 🥱
    📺 Trump is a TV show that has jumped the shark. No new writers, no new script ideas, and the catchphrases don't even make sense anymore. "You know, Ilhan Omar married her brother. And she's garbage. And she shouldn't be allowed in Congress. And, and, and...is this thing on?" 🎤😴🛌 What a snoozefest!
    MAGA is demanding new material, new lies, more exciting lies, from a walking corpse. Good luck with that! ☠️

  8. I love Rachel. It's one of the few voices of sanity we have.
    Same with Alexandria. And even Jessica. Not shockingly, all women.
    Mark Kelly has called on the stupidity of Whiskey Kegbreath (Dave's words LOL) and he's got all of the KUDOS for that. All of them.

    XOXO

  9. The house of cards is getting m
    ore and more unstable. My brother told me today he saw a program where a doctor predicted IQ45 has about 4-5 months to live. The meds he's taking will slow the progression but the side affects are worse. My response was ; don't tease me.

  10. Three very good American women highlighted in this blogpost. Each of them sees clearly what is going on and they are all brave enough to speak up - refusing to be cowed by The Golden Ballroom Regime.
