I Didn't Say It ...

Chris Christie, former New Jersey governor, blasting _____ and his legal team for their efforts to overturn the results of the election:

“The president has had an opportunity to access the courts. If you’ve got the evidence of fraud, present it. … The conduct of the president’s legal team has been a national embarrassment. Sidney Powell accusing Governor Brian Kemp of a crime on television yet unwilling to go on TV and defend and lay out the evidence that she supposedly has, this is outrageous conduct by any lawyer, and notice, George, they won’t do it inside the courtroom. They allege fraud outside the courtroom, but when they go inside the courtroom, they don’t plead fraud and they don’t argue fraud. … I have been a supporter of the president’s, I voted for him twice. But elections have consequences, and we cannot continue to act as if something happened here that didn’t happen. You have an obligation to present the evidence, the evidence has not been presented, and you must conclude—as Tucker Carlson even concluded the other night—that if you are unwilling to come forward and present the evidence, it must mean the evidence doesn’t exist.”

The.Evidence.Doesn’t.Exist. This is just the behavior of a coddled narcissistic loser who will never concede but will go away.

And while I appreciate Christie speaking out, notice, it’s very few actual in office ReTHUGlicans telling _____ to give it up; it’s local politicians and out-of-office TV pundits.

Tucker Carlson, Fox News, losing his shiz over ____’s election fraud nonsense, between Rudy’s one-man comedy act and ______ attorney Sidney Powell presenting no evidence at all:

“After four years this might be the single most open-minded show on television. We literally do UFO segments. Not because we’re crazy. Or even a bit interested in the subject. But because there is evidence that UFOs are real, and everyone lies about it. There’s evidence that a lot of things responsible people used to dismiss out of hand as ridiculous are in fact real. We invited Sidney Powell on the show. We would have given her the whole hour. We would have given her the entire week, actually. … But she never sent us any evidence, despite a lot of requests, polite requests. Not a page. When we kept pressing, she got angry and told us to stop contacting her. She never demonstrated that a single actual vote was moved illegitimately by software from one candidate to another. Not one.”

Okay, who had Fox News Thinks ______ Is A Lying POS on their Election Bingo card? And who, seriously, who, had Tucker Carlson Isn’t Buying The Bull on their card?

I’ve a feeling Hell froze over.

Mitt Romney, releasing a statement on social media on ______’s refusal to accept the truth … that he’s a loser:

“Having failed to make even a plausible case of widespread fraud or conspiracy before any court of law, the President has now resorted to over pressure on state and local officials to subvert the will of the people and overturn the election. It is difficult to imagine a worse, more undemocratic action by a sitting American President.”

Nice, but now you need to take your fellow ReTHUGlicans to task for enabling this lunacy with their complicit silence before they destroy your whole party.

Ben Sasse, Nebraska’s GOP Senator, on the _____ and Rudy Show:

“Wild press conferences erode public trust. So no, obviously Rudy and his buddies should not pressure electors to ignore their certification obligations under the statute  We are a nation of laws, not tweets. What matters most at this stage is not the latest press conference or tweet, but what the President’s lawyers are actually saying in court. And based on what I’ve read in their filings, when _____ campaign lawyers have stood before courts under oath, they have repeatedly refused to actually allege grand fraud — because there are legal consequences for lying to judges.”

Perhaps we can get adjoining cells for Rudy and _____.

Geraldo Rivera, on Fox and Friends, proving why the title of “journalist” no longer applies:

“I had an idea, you know, with the world so divided and everybody telling him he has to give up and time to leave and time to transition and all the rest of it. Why not name the vaccine ‘The _____’? Make it ‘have you gotten your _____ yet?’ It would be a nice gesture to him, and years from now it would become kind of a generic name. ‘Have you got your _____ yet? I got my _____ I’m fine.' I wished we could honor him in that way. Because he’s definitely the prime architect of this Operation Warp Speed and but for him we’d still be waiting, you know, into the grim winter these amazing, miraculous breakthroughs.”

Seriously? Name the vaccine after the fuck-nut who is responsible for the spread and the death of over a quarter million people.

Take a seat, loon.

Rand Paul, GOP hack senator, saying COVID survivors should “throw away their masks”:

“We have 11 million people in our country who have already had Covid. We should tell them to celebrate. We should tell them to throw away their masks, go to restaurants, and live again because these people are now immune.”

I love how an eye doctor, who has no bachelor's degree, because he left college a few courses short of a diploma after he was accepted into medical school, is gonna tell people how to act in a pandemic.

Rand Paul did earn his board certification in 1993but formed his own board in 1997—the National Ophthalmology Board—in protest of certification requirement changes by the American Board of Ophthalmologists. His board—now-defunct—was never recognized by the Kentucky Board of Medical Licensure, so “Dr.” Rand Paul was not board certified by a board recognized by the state since 2005, and since his board dissolved in 2011, he has had no certification from an active body.

But, yes, let’s allow an unlicensed eye doctor to tell people how to respond to a pandemic.

I Didn't Say It ...

Rudy Giuliani, raging about a scene in the sequel to Sacha Baron Cohen’s Borat, in which he plays with his genitals on a bed while having a drink with the actress who plays Borat’s 15-year-old daughter:

“The Borat video is a complete fabrication. I was tucking in my shirt after taking off the recording equipment. At no time before, during, or after the interview was I ever inappropriate. If Sacha Baron Cohen implies otherwise he is a stone-cold liar. In fact, the NY Post today reports ‘it looks to me like an exaggeration through editing.’ As soon as I realized it was a set up I called the police, which has been noted in THR article on July 8th. This is an effort to blunt my relentless exposure of the criminality and depravity of Joe Biden and his entire family. Deadline Hollywood reports CAA had a distribution screening in September where there was no mention of the scene holding any importance. We are preparing much bigger dumps off of the hard drive from hell, of which Joe Biden will be unable to defend or hide from. I have the receipts.”

This looks like, as someone said on Twitter, a clear-cut case of “erection fraud.”

Oh, and Rudy, who lays down on a bed to tuck in their shirt?

Michael Steele, former Chair of the Republican Party, has endorsed Joe Biden for president:

“America has watched as the Republican Party stopped pursuing its animating principles of freedom and opportunity [and] given up its voice on things that mattered and instead bent the arc of the party towards the baser motives of one man, who is neither a Republican nor a conservative. Rather than binding up the nation’s wounds, _____ exacerbates division. Rather than standing up to the world’s dictators, ______ cravenly seeks the favor of thugs. Rather than fostering free enterprise, _____embraces economic principles not only outdated in Lincoln’s time, but made even worse today by a leader who lost close to a billion dollars in a single year running a casino. Rather than seeking to build on the legacy of the Republican Party’s founders, of which ______ is surely ignorant, _____ has posited a single purpose for the GOP—the celebration of him. I long to restore that trust with the American people. However, what many inside and outside the GOP fail to grasp now is that our lack of standing with the American people is not the fault of our ideals or the principles we espouse, but rather due to our failure to stand up against the arrogance of power and the erosion of our principles.”

I doubt the GOP will ever fully recover from their blind devotion to a racist rapist lying pig and I’m good with that!

Dan Rather, on the GOPers who are suddenly trying to distance themselves from _____:

“It’s tempting to use the analogy of rats fleeing a sinking ship to describe the growing number of Republican elected officials starting to speak out against Donald _____. But that’s really not fair to rats, who tend not to be complicit in driving ships to the bottom of the sea.”

It’s too little, too late; where were their balls and backbones all these years.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, on ______ contracting COVID-19:

“I was worried he was going to get sick when I saw him in a completely precarious situation of crowded, no separation between people, and almost nobody wearing a mask. When I saw that on TV I said [Fauci face palms with both hands] ‘Oh my goodness.’ Nothing good can come out of that. That’s gotta be a problem. And then sure enough it turned out to be a superspreader event.”

Science. I believe it; I believe Fauci.

Ben Sasse, GOP Senator from Nebraska, ripped ______ in a phone call with constituents:

“The way he kisses dictators’ butts. I mean, the way he ignores the Uighurs, our literal concentration camps in Xinjiang. Right now, he hasn’t lifted a finger on behalf of the Hong-Kongers. The United States now regularly sells out our allies under his leadership, the way he treats women, spends like a drunken sailor. The ways I criticize President Obama for that kind of spending; I’ve criticized President Trump for as well. He mocks evangelicals behind closed doors. His family has treated the presidency like a business opportunity. He’s flirted with white supremacists.”

Oh, Ben, he’s been doing this for years, so quit acting all faux-indignant. You carried water for him since election day 2016, so, no, I don’t care what you think now. If he wins reelection, you’re start goose-stepping all over again.

Caroline Giuliani, Rudy’s daughter, coming out as a Biden supporter:

“I am a filmmaker in the LGBTQ+ community who tells stories about mental health, sexuality, and other stigmatized issues, and my goal is to humanize people and foster empathy. So, I hope you’ll believe me when I say that another ______ term … will irrevocably harm the LGBTQ+ community, among many others. His administration asked the Supreme Court to let businesses fire people for being gay or trans, pushed a regulation to let health care providers refuse services to people who are LGTBQ+, and banned trans people from serving their country in the military. I fully understand that some of you want a nominee who is more progressive. For others the idea of voting for a Democrat of any kind may be a hurdle. Now I have another confession to make. Biden wasn’t my first choice when the primaries started. But I know what is at stake, and Joe Biden will be everyone’s president if elected. If you are planning to cast a symbolic vote or abstain from voting altogether, please reconsider.”

While Daddy is adjusting his Little Rudy on film while his daughter is standing for America.
