I Didn't Say It ...

Barack Obama, My President, on the historic election in Hungary this week:

“The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world. Most of all, it’s a testament to the resilience and determination of the Hungarian people—and a reminder to all of us to keep striving for fairness, equality and the rule of law.”

Perhaps the tide against asshats like Cankles and Putin and Orban and their ilk is finally changing because We The People are voting it out.

Learn from this America.

Ana Navarro, political commentator and co-host of The View, on Melanie’s little speech:

“This is the same woman who was front and center spreading the birtherism conspiracies against Barack Obama. If she wants to be an ally to those Epstein survivors, she can start by turning to the guy next to her … and telling him to tell his DOJ to release all the Epstein files.”

Like most of the world now Ana sees Melanie as the equal to her husband, looking out for herself above all others. But she’s hard to believe since there are so many lies about her past … her education, her modeling ‘career’ … her speeches …. Her book … her movie.

It’s all illusion and the only one actually buying any of it is Melanie herself.

Bruce Springsteen, opening his Land of Hope and Dreams tour in Minneapolis last week:

“Good evening Minnesota. Welcome Minneapolis, St. Paul, welcome to the ‘Land of Hope and Dreams’ American Tour. I want to begin the night with a prayer for our men and women in service overseas. We pray for their safe return. The mighty E Street Band is here tonight to call upon a righteous power of art, of music, of rock and roll, in dangerous times. We are here in celebration and defense of our American ideas — democracy, our constitution and our sacred American promise. The America I love, the America that I’ve written about for 50 years that has been a beacon of hope and liberty around the world is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, racist, reckless and treasonous administration. Tonight we ask all of you to join with us in choosing hope over fear, democracy over authoritarianism, the rule of law over lawlessness, ethics over unbridled corruption, resistance over complacency, unity over division, and peace over war.”

It’s part concert, part revival, and part protest; it’s The Resistance set to music.

Jimmy Kimmel, taking on Cankles for being “blindsided” by Melanie’s surprise Epstein announcement:

“There was a big surprise from the White House today [when Melanie] emerged from the rubble of the East Wing. She brushed the drywall off her business suit and delivered a doozy of a prepared statement demanding that we stop talking about something no one was talking about … Because I’m just now hearing about these lies. Can you give me like a minute to catch up? You know somewhere in the White House, [Cankles] saw this happening. He spit out a whole gallon of Diet Coke! This is already better than her movie. Go on, please [although] why is this happening today? [Cankles] spent the past six weeks trying to bomb this Epstein story out of the headlines. Two days after the ceasefire, she puts it right back on top … She must really hate him. I don’t know how else to explain it.”

I said it before; she’s making a play for a bigger cut of the pie; this was her opening shot and if he renegotiates her “fee” she’ll change her tune.
