I Didn't Say It

Pete Buttigieg, Secretary of Transportation, clapping back at GOP Loon Marjorie Taylor Greene’s bizarre insult where she accused Pete and his husband Chasten Buttigieg of creeping around girls’ bathrooms by saying she’s not even a mediocre Congresswoman:

“The reason you hear somebody like that making nonsensical—literally nonsensical comments like that, I don’t know what you’d do with an electric vehicle in any bathroom—is because they don’t want to talk about what we’re actually working on. So they’re going to keep tripling down on anything that can divide and demonize and demoralize, and through that capture attention. If I were to make a list of the 10… or 20… or 50… or 200 members of Congress whose commentary or thoughts or words it would be the most constructive to be debating or weighing right now, it wouldn’t be the two or three members of Congress who get the most attention on Twitter for whatever outrage they try to outdo each other on.”

In other words, don’t do battle with an idiot, because she’s just out there for attention and has done nothing worthwhile since being elected to office.

Stay strong, Pete.

Will Smith, apologizing for physically assaulting Chris Rock on the Oscars stage Sunday night:

“Violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive. My behavior at last night’s Academy Awards was unacceptable and inexcusable. Jokes at my expense are part of the job, but a joke about Jada’s medical condition was too much for me to bear and I reacted emotionally. I would like to publicly apologize to you, Chris. I was out of line and I was wrong. I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be. There is no place for violence in a world of love and kindness. I would also like to apologize to the Academy, the producers of the show, all the attendees and everyone watching around the world. I would like to apologize to the Williams Family and my King Richard Family. I deeply regret that my behavior has stained what has been an otherwise gorgeous journey for all of us. I am a work in progress.”

Nice, but kind of meaningless because he’s still blaming “the joke” for his actions. Clearly, people higher up have questioned whether it’s worth it to hire Smith, and the Academy is said to be considering action, so Will is trying to save his career.

A child knows you don’t hit people for making a joke.

Ron DeSantis, Flori-duh’s Governor, Walt Disney Company’s plan to repeal the state’s ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill:

“For Disney to come out and put a statement and say that the bill should have never passed and that they are going to actively work to repeal it, I think one was fundamentally dishonest, but two, I think that crossed the line. This state is governed by the interest of the people of the state of Florida, it is not based on the demands of California corporate executives.”

Except, Ron, you ignorant POS, when exactly did the PEOPLE of you state rise up in overwhelming numbers and demand a ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill, because it looks like the only folks who wanted it are you and your bigoted, homophobic, transphobic, racist fuckmonkeys.

Jim Carrey, on that slap, and the reaction to Smith’s Oscar win, and what he would have done had been the victim:

“I was sickened. I was sickened by the standing ovation. Hollywood is just spineless en masse and it really felt like this is a really clear indication that we aren’t the cool club anymore. [And] I’d have announced this morning that I was suing Will for $200 million because that video is going to be there forever, it’s going to be ubiquitous. That insult is gonna last a very long time. If you want to yell from the audience and show disapproval or say something on Twitter, [that’s OK, but] you do not have the right to walk up onstage and smack somebody in the face ‘cuz they said words. I wish him the best, I really do … He’s done great things. But that was not a good moment. It cast a pall over everybody’s shining moment.”

Carrey’s right. It was disgusting to see anyone standing for Will Smith after he assaulted Chris Rock. And that video will be around forever, though I think Smith comes off looking like a petulant bully, so maybe it’ll be worse for him … and I’m good with that.

Madison Cawthorn, alleging that “people” Washington, D.C. have invited him to orgies and done cocaine in front of him:

“I look at all these people, a lot of them that I’ve looked up to through my life, I’ve always paid attention to politics. Then all of the sudden you get invited to, ‘Well hey, we’re going to have kind of a sexual get together at one of our homes, you should come.’ I’m like, ‘What did you just ask me to come to?’ And then you realize they are asking you to come to an orgy.”

Cawthorn also claim he has seen people who advocate for fighting against addiction do cocaine in front of him.

Well, golly Maddie, then speak up. I mean if you’re so sickened by what folks in DC politics are doing call ‘em out by name and get them out of office, unless you’re just a liar an—Oh yeah, never mind.

SIDENOTE: Little Maddie admitted in a tense meeting with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy that his claims were "exaggerated".

AKA Lies.

Wanda Sykes, saying after the slap, Chris Rock apologized to her:

“The first thing he said was ‘I am so sorry. It was supposed to be your night. You and Amy and Regina…I’m so sorry, because now this is going to be about this.’ That’s who Chris is.”

That’s a helluva lot better, and more adult that the Smith family.

photo

Chris Wallace, confirming what most of us already knew:

“I’m fine with opinion: conservative opinion, liberal opinion, but when people start to question the truth—Who won the 2020 election? Was January 6 an insurrection —I found that unsustainable. Some people might have drawn the line earlier, or at a different point. I think Fox has changed over the course of the last year and a half. But I can certainly understand where somebody would say, ‘Gee, you were a slow learner, Chris.’”

But you learned, and left.

Wallace confirmed reports that he was so alarmed by Tucker Carlson’s documentary “Patriot Purge”—which falsely suggested the Capitol riot was a “false flag” operation intended to demonize conservatives—that he complained directly to Fox News management.

Nothing was done, and he packed his bags.

photo

Chris Rock, in his first standup show since the slap:

“Whoa, OK! Yo, let me do the show! How was your weekend? I don't have a bunch of shit about what happened, so if you came to hear that, I have a whole show I wrote before this weekend. I’m still kind of processing what happened. So, at some point I’ll talk about that shit. And it will be serious and funny.”

An audience member then chanted “Fuck Will Smith!” but Rock ignored the comment and began his hour-long set.

Again, adult in the room.

I Didn't Say It ...

Mark Meadows, Thing 45 Chief of Staff, about the texts from Hannity, Junior, Brian Kilmeade and Laura Ingraham begging him to get his boss to stop the riots:

“We’ve tried very hard, in a very transparent and accommodating way, to share non privileged information, and what we found out tonight is that not only did that just get disregarded, but then they tried to weaponize text messages, selectively leaked them, to put out a narrative that the president didn’t act.”

Um, Mark? Those are the texts sent to you; you provided them. And now you want to suggest they’re not being used accurately?

Bitch please.

Jim Clyburn, House Majority Whip and Democrat Congressman from South Carolina, with a message to the GQP:

"It's high time that we ... think about what's best for this country. If you want to think about what's best for one person, you are teetering on one-person rule; that’s an autocracy. For a party such as the Republican party, that my parents were members of, for them to turn the whole party apparatus over to one person means you're no longer a party, but you're now a cult. It's time for the right-thinking people in this country to step away from cult worship. That's where a lot of people are headed."

I tend to agree with Clyburn. Many people are moving away from this cultish GOP. Sure, it may seem untrue, but remember, it’s the squeaky, loudest, most unhinged wheel that gets the grease, er, media attention. And so that means a lot of the quitter, more disgusted by this traitorous wing of the GOP, is tired of it all and ready to move on.

Sonia Sotomayor, U.S. Supreme Court Justice, rebuking the conservative wing of SCOTUS for their decision not to overturn Texas’ vigilante abortion ban:

“The Court should have put an end to this madness months ago, before SB 8 first went into effect. It failed to do so then, and it fails again today. I dissent, however, from the Court’s dangerous departure from its precedents, which establish that federal courts can and should issue relief when a State enacts a law that chills the exercise of a constitutional right and aims to evade judicial review … effectively [inviting] other States to refine SB 8’s model for nullifying federal rights. The Court thus betrays not only the citizens of Texas, but also our constitutional system of government. [The Court] simply ignores … the law’s numerous procedural and substantive anomalies [and] those vulnerable to suit might include a medical provider, a receptionist, a friend who books an appointment, or a ride-share driver who takes a woman to a clinic.”

The Right wants to turn us into a country of vigilantes, who turn our neighbors in because they went to Planned Parenthood, call police on doctors and women seeking access to their healthcare choices, and who cross state lines with guns to shoot protesters. Is that the America we want, or is it the America we deserve if we don’t do something to stop it?

photo

Chris Wallace, Fox News Anchor, announcing his departure from the “news” network last Sunday:

“After 18 years—this is my final Fox News Sunday. It is the last time—and I say this with real sadness—we will meet like this. Eighteen years ago, the bosses here at Fox promised me they would never interfere with a guest I booked or a question I asked. And they kept that promise. I have been free to report to the best of my ability, to cover the stories I think are important, to hold our country’s leaders to account. It’s been a great ride. We’ve covered five presidential elections, interviewed every president since George H.W. Bush, traveled the world—sitting down with France’s Emanuel Macron and Russia’s Vladimir Putin. And I’ve gotten to spend Sunday mornings with you. It may sound corny, but I feel we’ve built a community here. There’s a lot you can do on Sundays. The fact you’ve chosen to spend this hour with us is something I cherish. But after 18 years, I have decided to leave Fox. I want to try something new, to go beyond politics to all the things I’m interested in. I’m ready for a new adventure.”

His new adventure was announced shortly thereafter: he is headed to CNN+, that channels new streaming service. And to say Fox is unhappy about it is an understatement. Their statement on his leaving the network barely mentioned him or his career but instead focused on the network and their, ahem, ”star” journalists … Tucker, Sean, Jeanine, Laura and the rest of the loons.

photo

Gavin Newsom, California’s Democrat Governor, taking a bold antigun stance, based on that Texas abortion law:

“If states can now shield their laws from review by the federal courts that compare assault weapons to Swiss Army knives, then California will use that authority to protect people’s lives, where Texas used it to put women in harm’s way. If the most efficient way to keep these devastating weapons off our streets is to add the threat of private lawsuits, we should do just that.”

Wait until SCOTUS hears this case and tries to justify making it illegal to call the authorities on people with guns but keep it legal to turn in a pro-choice woman.

photo

Madison Cawthorn, GOP Representative and ALLEGED president of his local Hitler Youth Chapter, on “woke” people, i.e. liberals:

“I’m telling you, when I see the people that are in Washington, DC who are trying to insert their woke politics into our culture, trying to destroy western civilization, trying to take all of our morality away from everyone, trying to make everyone genderless, sexless, and Godless. We want our country back, we want our culture back, and if you want to stand in the way that, we will run you over.”

No, these 'woke' people are just trying to be welcoming and inclusive of all people, not just those who love a good Swastika.

I’d tell you to take a seat, Madison, but you’re already there. And before anyone says it, I know that was kinda mean, but this is a vile human being.

I Didn't Say It

Adam Kinzinger, GOP Congressperson with a brain—a rarity in the party that appears to have just one shared brain between them—on Biden’s vaccine mandate:

“I think it’s going to save lives. And the failure here comes in leaders that have basically used vaccine status as some tattoo of what political tribe you belong to. I mean, we all hear stories of people that are in very red areas that are embarrassed to say they’re vaccinated. That is insane and silly. And that is a problem with leaders, particularly Republican leaders, that don’t stand up and give cover to people. There are some Republican members of Congress and stuff putting out fundraising after fundraising email about first, it’s going to be a vaccine mandate, next thing, the Gestapo’s going to show up at your door and take your bible away. Like, that’s not going to happen and that’s playing on people’s fears.”

He’s asking people to do the right thing for health of others and yet we are such a selfish and self-involved society that we don’t care about others.

And that’s the beginning of the end.

photo

Rudy Giuliani, who used to be known as America’s Mayor, realizing he’s now just a fool and a punchline:

“I don’t care. I am aware of that. And what’s happened is, our country has gone off the rails…I’m exactly the same person. They changed! I don’t think I’ve ever done an interview drunk. I mean, I drink normally. I like Scotch, I drink Scotch. I’m not an alcoholic. I’m a functioning, I probably function more effectively than 90 percent of the population.”

Little Freudian slip there, Rudy. You seldom ever pass a bar without going in.

photo

George W. Bush, speaking about terrorism at a 9/11 remembrance ceremony in Shanksville:

“We have seen growing evidence that the dangers to our country can come not only across borders but from violence that gathers within. There is little cultural overlap between violent extremists abroad and violent extremists at home. But in their disdain for pluralism, in their disregard for human life, in their determination to defile national symbols, they are children of the same foul spirit, and it is our continuing duty to confront them.”

Okay, I’m glad he compared terrorists flying planes into towers to domestica terrorists flying flagpoles thorough windows of the nation’s capital, but let’s be clear that a lot of the ills in this country can be traced back to W’s Big Lie about Saddam Hussein and 9/11 and getting us into Afghanistan..

That’s all.

photo

Pat Toomey, GOP Senator from Pennsylvania, urging his party not to nominate Thing 45 in 2024:

“I think that the future of our party is to be a party of ideas, and not to be a party about any one individual, and I think we will learn a lot from the next set of primaries. I think after what happened post-2020 election, I think the president’s behavior was completely unacceptable, so I don’t think he should be the nominee to lead the party in 2024.”

Nice vanilla statement. Howsabout being a little more forceful if you believe Thing 45 is unfit to be president, huh?

photo

Chris Wallace, Fox News, on refusing to have Big Lie spreaders on his show:

“There are plenty of people who were the leaders in the Congress of challenging [the election] that I just have not had on the show ever since then, and have purposefully not had on the show, because I don’t frankly wanna hear their crap.”

A rare moment of sanity from a Fox News employee.

Who knew?

I Didn't Say It

Barack Obama, on the GQP standing in line to support the Big Lie:

“Suddenly, everybody was back in line. Now, the reason for that is because the base believed it. The base believed it because this had been told to them not just by the president, but by the media that they watch and nobody stood up and said, ‘Stop. This is enough. This is not true.’ [Well] I won’t say nobody. Let me correct it. There were some very brave people who did their jobs, like the secretary of state in Georgia, who was then viciously attacked for it. And all those congressmen started looking around and they said, ‘You know what? I’ll lose my job. I’ll get voted out of office.’ Another way of saying this is, I didn’t expect that there would be so few people who would say, ‘Well, I don’t mind losing my office because this is too important. America’s too important.'”

Sorry, Mr. president, but you’re acting as if those GOP Senators and Congressman care more about their country than they do their own wallets, and they don’t.

Which is why we need to vote every single one out of office in every election until they are all gone.

photo

Chris Wallace, Fox News host, challenging Democrat Republican Senator Joe Manchin, who is refusing to support filibuster reform to pass a voting rights bill:

“You said you oppose scrapping the filibuster. The question I have is whether or not—and you say that you hope that will bring the parties together—the question I have is whether or not you’re doing it exactly the wrong way? … If you were to keep the idea that maybe you would vote to kill the filibuster, wouldn’t that give Republicans an incentive to actually negotiate because old Joe Manchin is out there and who knows what he’s going to do? By taking it off the table, haven’t you empowered Republicans to be obstructionists?”

Yes, he has, but, again, like a Republican, he is more concerned with his own job and his own paycheck, than he is with making voting easier for Americans not more difficult.

Joe Manchin can kindly fuck all the way off.

photo

Joe Manchin, answering Wallace, trying to prove he’s not a traitor to his party and this country:

“I don’t think so, because we have seven brave Republicans that continue to vote for what they know is right and the facts as they see them, not worrying about the political consequences. I’m just very hopeful and I see good signs. Give us some time.  I’m not being naïve. I think [Mitch McConnell’s] 100% wrong in trying to block all the good things that we’re trying to do for America. It would be a lot better if we had participation and we’re getting participation.”

Not enough asshat, and when you have the leader of the other side blatantly saying they will not help this president and you do nothing to change that, then you are clearly on their side.

What—and I cannot stress this enough—the fuck?

photo

Kayleigh McEnany, former White House press secretary liar, on reports that successor Jen Psaki was being photographed by Annie Leibovitz for Vogue magazine:

“Instead of the glowing profiles [on the women in the twice-impeached, one-term loser’s camp], there were hit pieces repeatedly, time and time again. It’s just so sad that you have a fawning press corps like this, a fawning media sycophantically covering members of the Biden administration.”

Oh Barbie, this is seriously what you’re upset about? That Vogue didn’t take your picture? Maybe if you hadn’t carried water for a murderous traitor, you could be prom Queen.

Then again …

photo

Franklin Graham, throwing a hissy because, once again, after four years of ‘It’ the State Department will allow our embassies to fly the Pride flag:

“Shame on our State Department for allowing the American Embassy at the Vatican to fly the LGBTQ pride flag. What an insult to the Catholic Church! This flag is promoting an agenda, not a country, and to give it equal billing with the American flag is wrong. It seems that the Biden Administration has no limits on how far they will go to offend the Catholic Church. President [Twice-impeached, One-term Loser] had a one-flag rule—only one flag could be flown on the American flagpole at our embassies—and that was the American flag. Isn’t that how it should be?”

Short answer you bigoted twat: Nope.

photo

Chasten Buttigieg, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg’s husband, taking a shot at RNC head Ronna McDaniel’s Tweet about the GOP’s support of LGBTQ+ rights:

”Those with "deeply held religious beliefs" are often the parents who force their LGBTQ children out of the home and onto the street. I've met with those kids. 40% of homeless youth in this country are LGBTQ. Re-visit your party's platform before you open your mouth about Pride.”

Snap.

I Didn't Say It ...

Chris Wallace, FOX News anchor and moderator of last week’s presidential debate, on those wearing masks in the hall:

“The interesting thing though, however, was, the Cleveland Clinic that set up the safety rules said everybody in the hall with the exception of the president, the vice president, and myself had to wear a mask. When Mrs. Biden, came in, when members of her party came in, they were all wearing masks. They kept them on throughout the debate. Mrs. [Melania] ______ came in wearing a mask but took it off once she sat down. I didn’t see when they came in, but all the other members of the first family that I saw there, including Ivanka, Tiffany, when they sat down, they weren’t wearing masks. I’m told by the pool of reporters who was there that somebody from the Cleveland Clinic came up to the first family—I believe this was before Mrs. ______ sat down—and offered the masks in case they didn’t have them, and they waved them away. And people in the hall did notice that while they were all wearing masks, including my wife and four of my children, that the first family did not wear masks during the debate. When it ended, Mrs. ______ came up to go on the stage. As I think everybody saw, she was not wearing a mask.”

Ignorance runs rampant in that family.

Colin Jost, SNL Weekend Update host, on _____’s Tweets from the hospital where he ALLEGEDLY being treated for COVID-19:

“I will say, that despite everything ______ actually seems to be in good spirits. He tweeted a message that said, ‘LOVE!!!,’ and three exclamation points so it sounds they’re cutting his hydroxychloroquine with a little bit of molly. Just hours ago, Trump released a video from the hospital saying he’s in better health, which is great news. Though I will point out that if the situation were reversed, and it was Biden who got sick, ______ would 100 percent be at a maskless rally tonight getting huge laughs, doing impressions of Biden on a ventilator.”

And while Jost was making a joke, you know that _____ would be doing exactly that.

Sidenote: Colin really revs my engine.

photo

Greg Gutfeld, Fox News host , on ______ being hospitalized with the virus:

“The reason why he didn’t hide from the virus is he didn’t want America to hide from the virus. If he was going to ask America to get back to work, right? To get back to work and experience a risk, he was going to do the same thing. He was going to walk out there on that battlefield with you, and not sit somewhere in a basement and tell you how, you know, how you got to get back to work but not go out himself. So, I think he put himself on the line, and the flaw being that as an optimist, as somebody who’s trying to convey a message that we’re going to get through this, and things are going to be better, he had to walk that walk. He had to do that. He could have scared the crap out of everybody, but he refused, and it goes back to his original point about trying to make sure the positive attitude is maintained along with a sense of concern. So, he took the risk, he got the virus, but it’s because he was doing it for us.”

Seriously, the goose-stepping those pandering fucks at Fox do has reached a new low.

He lied about the virus for months while hundreds of thousands of Americans died, and six million got sick, and when he gets the virus it’s for us?

Fuck off, hack.

photo

_____, on Fox News, saying he will not do a virtual debate:

“That’s not acceptable to us. … I’m not gonna do a virtual debate. I’m not going to waste my time on a virtual debate. That’s not what debating’s about. You sit behind a computer and do a debate. It’s ridiculous. And then they cut you off whenever they want.”

So, he wants the freedom to lie and interrupt and cheat and when he can’t get it, he stays home? Good, because I’d hate to see him infect anyone else with COVID-19 …or his stupidity.

Or maybe he’s just chicken.

photo

Pete Buttigieg, on Fox News, asked about Kamala Harris’s position on Medicare but doing an about face to nail Pence for his hypocrisy:

“There’s a classic parlor game of trying to find a little bit of daylight between running mates. And if people want to play that game, we could look into why an evangelical Christian like Mike Pence wants to be on a ticket with a president caught with a porn star … or how he feels about the immigration policy he called unconstitutional before he decided to team up with Donald _____. If folks want to play that game we can do it all night but I think what most Americans want to hear about is are our families going to be better protected than they have been by this president who has failed to secure America in the face of one of the most dangerous things ever to happen our country.”

I love that Pete goes on Fox News and speaks truth to power …even if they don’t get it.

photo

Anne Heche, trying to revive her failing career by appearing on Dancing with the Stars[?], and talking about her life with Ellen and how terrible it was … for her:

“In 1997, I met Ellen DeGeneres at the Vanity Fair party and that was the night that changed my life forever. My movie premiere for Volcano, I had told them that I was taking Ellen as my date and I was told if I took Ellen I would lose my Fox contract. At that moment, she took my hand and said, 'Do what they say,' and I said, 'No thanks.' I took Ellen to the premiere and I was ushered out by security before the movie even ended and was told I was not allowed to go to my own after-party for fear they would get pictures of me with a woman… She was warning me, 'This is going to happen.' … the stigma attached to that relationship was so bad that I was fired from my multimillion-dollar picture deal and I did not work in a studio picture for 10 years.”

It wasn’t the stigma attached to that relationship, it was the stigma of being openly gay, which you were when you were with Ellen, and then weren’t when you were found in the dessert, incoherently mumbling about UFO’s and shiz, and when you weren’t when you married your husband had a baby, and cheated on him.

You are the maker of your own mistakes Anne, and it had nothing to do with Ellen and everything to do with you.

Patti LuPone, Broadway legend and diva extraordinaire, Twitter slammed _____ for his balcony performance after leaving the hospital:

I Didn't Say It ....

Sebastian Gorka, _____’s nominee for the National Security Education Board, spewing filth:

“What has whiteness brought us? What has western civilization brought us? When you look at the western civilization, when you look at representative democracy, you look at rule of law, you look at equality before the law, you look at equality of the sexes. Or, we could go to the African subcontinent and have female genital mutilation be a part of their local culture, or we could have slave markets in Libya.  Maybe we should follow the slave markets of Libya, as opposed to the inherent whiteness of our civilization. If whiteness is bad, then what do we replace it with? If we have to replace it with, I don’t know, blackness or yellowness, what does that mean? Does it mean that some cultures are better than others? Oops—I thought we weren’t allowed to say that.”

I guess Gorka forgot about slave markets in America; I guess he forgot that whiteness didn’t bring equality, those people deemed ‘less than’ protested and fought for it.
Fucking racist. Another one in this White House.
Juan Williams, Fox ‘News’, on Putin’s bounties on American soldiers:

“There is no way to explain President _____’s lack of action in response to US intelligence showing Russia paid bounties for the murder of American soldiers. Even worse, there is no explanation for why Congressional Republicans aren’t raising Hell over _____’s silence.”

For a president who says he’s the best military president ever, and is the law and order president, he certainly doesn’t appear interested in finding out if this story is true. I wonder why …
Oh, Putin. He’s Putin’s Little Bitch.
Steve Schmidt, political strategist for GOP candidates, on ______’s epic COVID-19 fail:

“_____ has brought death, suffering and economic collapse on an epic scale. And let’s be clear. This isn’t happening in every country in the world. This place. Our place. Our home. Our country. We are the epicenter. We are the place where you are most likely to die from this disease. We’re the ones with the most shattered economy. And we are because of the fool that sists in the Oval Office.”

Remember, Schmidt is a Republican, mourning the loss of his party to a faux-Christian, racist, rapist, pussy grabbing, traitor.
Bret Baier, Fox News, on _____’s Rose Garden Press Conference that turned into a campaign stop after he talked for an hour before taking questions:

"Presidents in the past have stayed away from overt campaign rhetoric from the Rose Garden or the White House, but it is the President's discretion. It is worth noting, however, to be fair, that had President Obama made this kind of speech from the Rose Garden, Republicans on Capitol Hill would likely have been up in arms."

Sure, because a Black man shouldn’t be allowed to do that, but a racist pussy groping traitor is just fine with GOP Cowards.
_____, calling New York City a “hellhole” after SCOTUS ruled that the Manhattan district attorney can subpoena his tax returns as part of an investigation into hush money payments:

“From a certain point, I’m satisfied. From another point, I’m not satisfied, because frankly this is a political witch hunt, the likes of which nobody’s ever seen. It’s a pure witch hunt. It’s a hoax, just like the Mueller investigation was a hoax, which I won. This is just another hoax. This is purely political. I win at the federal level, and we won very decisively, and so they sent it in to New York, and you know what’s going on in New York. Everyone’s leaving. It’s turned out to be a hellhole, and they better do something about it. This is a political witch hunt that just continues.”

Wait, I thought Mueller was the witch hunt of the likes we’d never seen?
Sounds like the Occupant of the White House is a’scurred.
Conspiracy Theory: If _____ doesn’t win in November, he will resign from office, making Michael Elizabeth Pence the president until Biden takes office in November. Pence will then pardon _____ for his crimes, but if the SDNY comes after him, _____ will leave the country for somewhere without a US extradition treaty.
Huh; works for me, but could he take his whole rat-infested family, too?
Chris Wallace, Fox News, taking Education Secretary Betsy DeVos over a threat to cut off funding for schools that choose not to reopen during the pandemic:

“Are you and the president unilaterally going to cut off funding that’s been approved by Congress—and most of the money goes to disadvantaged students or students with disabilities? You can’t do that! I know you guys support vouchers and that’s a reasonable argument but you can’t do that unilaterally, you have to do that through Congress. And secondly, isn’t cutting off funding exactly the wrong answer? Don’t you want to spend more money to make schools safer, whether it’s with plastic shields or health checks, various other systems? Doesn’t it make more sense to increase funding for schools where it’s unsafe rather than cut off funding?”

How an uneducated self-entitled yacht-owing cow became Secretary of Education is beyond  me …. Oh, financial support for _____’s campaign.
Sidenote: I am loving Baier and Wallace and Williams, at Fox News of all places, taking on _____ and his Swamp Dwellers.
Kayleigh McEnany, on _____commanding that schools reopen, or he’ll pull funding:

“The president has said unmistakably that he wants schools to open. And when he says open, he means open in full, kids been able to attend each and every day at their school. The science should not stand in the way of this. The science is on our side here. And we encourage localities and states to just simply follow the science and open our schools.”

Nope, don’t listen to a scientist listen to the words of a man who paid someone to take his SATs over those of a scientist. And listen to this Bullshit Barbie try to spin it like science is wrong, and then in the next breath say science is on their side.
How.Fucking.Stupid.Are. They?
