I Didn't Say It ...

Hakeem Jeffries, Democrat Representative from New York and House Minority Leader, on what can, and will, happen in 100 days:

“In just 100 days, you can vote for an America where we p[ass the John Robert Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act so we can end the era of voter suppression in this country once and for all … We have 100 days to change America.”

End the rich getting richer while the middle and lowers classes cannot afford food or gas or housing or healthcare or college.

End these never-ending wars for profit.

End ICE.

One hundred days and then CAST AGODDAMNED VOTE!

Jon Ossoff, Democrat Senator from Georgia, on Cankles grift while more and more Americans suffer:

“While the people pay more for everything and millions lose health coverage, while he rakes in billions and builds himself a ballroom and prepares again to attack our elections … he reanimates his 2020 obsession while he spirals in fear of the rebuke to come this fall and the accountability that will follow it. Because accountability is coming.”

Stay diligent, stay vigilant, and know your rights when it comes to voting.

If we stand together and stand up this regime can come tumbling down and accountability will follow.

Rosie O’Donnell, comedian and actor, on who is responsible for the disaster that is Cankles:

“I really do blame Mark Burnett and the producers of The Apprentice for selling a lie to the American people, for selling that show as fact when it was fiction, and pretending this mediocre man was somehow a leading businessman in the country. It is the biggest load of crap. I find it very unbelievable that people can’t see him for what he is … even with 34 felonies [and] convictions.”

As many folks say, “There’s a sucker born every minute,” and Cankles was able to sell them a lie masked as a dream, and hate as power, and racism as a new America.

Burnett used Cankles to reach those idiot masses.

Hunter Biden, son of former President Joe Biden and proud pot-stirrer, on the recent White House Correspondents reboot:

“I watched [his] speech at the Correspondents’ Dinner last night. It’s hard to articulate how sad it made me. Sad and embarrassed and exhausted. Here is the thing about a man who is a joke. He can’t tell one. People think humor is a talent. It isn’t. It’s a capacity. To make someone laugh you have to be able to laugh at yourself, and to laugh at yourself you have to step outside of yourself and see what everyone else sees. For one second you have to be just another person in the room. Most people can do this by the time they are nine years old. He has never once managed it. Not in fifty years of cameras. Not for a second. That is not a quirk. It is a symptom. The muscle that lets you tell a joke is the same one that lets you feel what another person feels. A man who cannot survive being laughed at cannot imagine being anyone but himself. He will only ever be generous when it is photographed. He will only ever be kind when it is filmed. There is a name for it. So he stood up there and did what he always does. He hit down. He made jokes about people’s weight. He made jokes about their intelligence. He made jokes about how women look. He read out the names of people he doesn’t like, and mocked them. Always mocking. And when no one laughed he blamed his speech writers. The cruelty dressed as humor has worn so thin. And for the 30% of you still in the cult who will inevitably call me a crackhead and blame it all on my Dad, all I can say is please, for the love of God, open your eyes. Wake the fuck up. Have some dignity. Have some pride. Joe Biden wasn’t standing at that podium last night. Donald Trump was. And at the end of it he put on a red hat that said Trump 2028 and told the room he was running again. No one laughed because everyone knows he has no intention of leaving. Just another joke at our expense.”

And sadly a joke that we allowed to reach the White House twice and we’ll have to treat him like a squatter to get him out.

James Talarico, Democrat candidate for Senator from Texas, on the priorities of the current regime:

“We are closing schools and hospitals in this country, so we can bomb schools and hospitals in other countries. There is never enough money for education and healthcare, but there’s always enough money for war. This morning, we learned that one of our own, Pvt. Isabella Gonzales, was killed by an Iranian airstrike in Jordan. Isabella grew up in Carrollton, not too far from here. she was just 19 years old. she just graduated from Hebron High School. Isabella was sent to serve in a reckless war that no one asked for. we pay for it with our tax dollars. Isabella paid for it with her life.”

I thought Cankles big goal was America first but it’s not; it’s the rich first and then fuck everyone else.

Fuck the poor, fuck the children, fuck the ill, fuck the military, as long as those checks clear.

Jasmine Crockett, Democrat Representative from Texas, on GOP attempt to whitewash the National Museum of American History:

“Welcome to the Republicans' white pride rally disguised as a congressional hearing. It might be uncomfortable for some people on this committee to hear about the true history of America, and I hate that for them. But facts are facts. It's a fact that there is a violent, exclusionary, discriminatory, sexist, and racist part of American history, where our indigenous populations were forcibly displaced from their land, where thousands of Black people were unjustly lynched, where Black people were denied the right to vote, and they still trying to do it today. Women needed their husbands' permission to open a bank account, where people with disabilities were routinely excluded from schools, workplaces, and public life, where four little Black girls were murdered by the KKK at the 16th Street Baptist Church, and a lot of this wasn't that long ago. In fact, three of those girls would be 77 and one would be 74. More than 40 members of Congress serving right now would be older than them. Ruby Bridges, who was the first Black child to desegregate an all-white school, is only 71 years old. More than 100 members of Congress serving right now are older than her. So, attacks on the Smithsonian or any other institution that's willing to tell the true history of America is not only an attempt to rewrite history; it's an attempt to erase history."

If you forget history, you are likely to repeat it … Hitler to Cankles.

American history is white and male and Christian, yes, but it’s also Black, Brown, Yellow, Red and female, LGBTQ+, young and old, Jewish and Catholic and Protectant and atheist and agnostic.

And don’t ever fucking forget that.

  1. O'Donnell hits the nail on the head. Hunter Biden is on his way to being a National Treasure, and is making his dad proud. And Talarico is doing more than just rocking the boat.

  2. Rosie can get on my last gay nerve sometimes, but she means well, and often makes a lot of sense and nails the root of the problem.

    Hakeem Jeffries I cannot stand.

  3. Talarico is kind of the future of the Dem Party. Jeffries should be taking notes. Hunter Biden? He's fantastic when taking down the MAGAts, the white supremacists and the idiots. He's back from a very dark place and does not give a fuck.
    Ossoff is fab. And I would. Repeatedly.


    XOXO

  4. The Orange One will overturn the 22nd Amendment and claim that if FDR could do run for four terms.so can he.

  5. Hunter Biden is spot-on in his assessment of cankles. I think that's one of the best summaries of Trump's character I've ever seen.

    I hope Talarico wins. It's Texas, so all bets are off. And O'Donnell is right -- Mark Burnett shoulders a lot of blame for creating the Trump monster. And bravo to Rep. Crockett -- pointing out the ages of the people who participated (willingly or not) in the fight for Civil Rights really shows how recent it all was.

  6. It's the winners who get to write history and if the Repugnants win the mid terms by fair means or, more likely, foul, then American history will be very different from the truth. But those who do not pander to Donald Duck's fairy tales there is always plenty of countries whose histories will tell a different tale from that told by Donny and his minions. Let us all hope that the Duck does not fake his way, courtesy of SCOTUS, to a win in November.

  9. I admire the diligent way in which you pull progressive utterances together Bob and on this occasion I stood up and applauded Hunter Biden. Regarding The Fake President's lack of humour, he got it spot on. To be funny you have to be able to laugh at yourself and bond with humankind in general. Clearly, FP was never able to do that. He has always been a nasty, spoilt brat.
