I Didn't Say It

Jamie Lee Curtis, on Kanye West’s anti-Semitic Twitter rant:

"I woke up and burst into tears. ‘Death con 3 on Jewish people’? What are you doing? It's bad enough that fascism is on the rise around the world but on Twitter? On a portal to pour that in as if Jewish people haven't had it hard enough? It's just abhorrent. I hope he gets help. I hope his children get help from him. It's terrible. If we aren't reacting, who are we What does it say about people who aren't reacting? The holiest day in Judaism was last week. Words matter. A threat to Jewish people ended once in a genocide. Your words hurt and incite violence. You are a father. Please stop.”

Carlos and I just finished watching The US and the Holocaust, the Ken Burns documentary, and to see and hear this kind of Hate speech now, and again, when we always thought we could never go back to those hate-filled days. The way this country treated the Jews in the days before WWII, during the warm, and even after we knew what was being done is sickening.

It’s disgusting; Kanye is disgusting; he needs to get back on his meds, find a quiet place and keep his mouth shut for a good long time.

Lindsey Graham, South Carolina GOP lapdog, blaming the media for circulating the stories that Herschel Walker paid an ex-girlfriend to get an abortion:

“If you’re waiting on the media to tell you about what’s going on in Georgia, you’re going wait a hell of a long time. Remember Kavanaugh? Remember how they played the game right at the end? They come up with some letter, take the guy, blindside, another allegation, another allegation trying to drive him out.”

Um, ma’am, I know how you like to stand up for men, or lay down for them, but seriously? Defending a man accused of rape and another man who paid for his girlfriend’s abortion, and then tried to pay for a second one?

John McCain, right now, is rolling over in his grave seeing what a pathetic pandering party over country, thing 45 goose-stepping lapdog you’ve become.

Get a spine, bitch.

Herschel Walker, speak of the Devil, tossing yet another word salad:

“I been telling this little story about this bull out in the field with six cows, and three of them are pregnant. So, you know he got something goin’ on. But all he cared about is keep his nose against the fence looking at three other cows that didn’t belong to him. Now all he had to do is eat grass. But no, no, no. He thought something was better somewhere else. So, he decided, ‘I want to get over there.’ So one day he measured that fence up, and he said, ‘I think I can jump this.’ So that day came where he got back. And as he got back and as he took off runnin’, he dove over that fence and his belly got cut up onto the bottom. But as he made it onto the other side, he shook it off and got so excited about it. And he ran to the top of that hill, but when he got up there he realized they were bulls too. So what I’m telling you, don’t think something is better somewhere else. This is the greatest country in the world today.”

Hey Herschel? That’s ‘the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence,’ but leave it to you to turn it into a story of a bull who got three cows pregnant and then broke through another fence hoping to knock up more cows.

Projection much?

Tulsi Gabbard, announcing that she’s leaving the Democratic Party:

“I can no longer remain in today’s Democratic Party that is now under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness, who divide us by racializing every issue & stoke anti-white racism, actively work to undermine our God-given freedoms, are hostile to people of faith & spirituality, demonize the police & protect criminals at the expense of law-abiding Americans, believe in open borders, weaponize the national security state to go after political opponents, and above all, dragging us ever closer to nuclear war.”

Tulsi, dear, you were never a Democrat, but always, as Hillary warned us, a Russian asset, so don’t let the door hit you where the good lord split, comrade.

Tommy Tuberville, Alabama GOP Senator, compared descendants of enslaved people to criminals to an over-whelming white crowd:

"[The Democrats] want crime because they want to take over what you got. They want to control what you have. They want reparations because they think the people that do the crime are owed that,. Bullsh*t! They are not owed that."

First off, reparation to criminals has never been a thing; reparations are compensation for those who have suffered wrongdoing, as Black Americans have whose ancestors were enslaved.

But leave it to the GOP to basically say all Black are criminals.

Derrick Johnson, NAACP president, on Tuberville’s remarks:

“Senator Tuberville’s comments are flat out racist, ignorant and utterly sickening. His words promote a centuries-old lie about Black people that throughout history has resulted in the most dangerous policies and violent attacks on our community. We’ve seen this before from the far-right, and we’ve seen what they can do when they take power. Next time the Senator wants to talk about crime, he should talk about [Thing 45’s] hate-fueled rally on January 6, 2021, and the attacks that followed. Perhaps the real criminals are in his orbit.”

I know it’s been growing a long time, and I know it was exacerbated by America’s overwhelming support of our first Black president, but Thing 45 has made hate, and racism, and homophobia, acceptable in this country and anyone disgusted by it, who continues to vote for the GOP, is also to blame.

Do not elect hate.
