I Didn't Say It ...


Hillary Clinton, on whether or not _____ is a racist:

“I think he has thrown his lot in with many people and groups whose stated objection is white nationalism, white supremacy, how could you explain what he did and why after Charlottesville? … He has been racist, he’s been sexist, he’s been Islamophobic, he has been anti-LGBTQ, I mean, there’s a long list. He has a view of America that is incredibly constricted. And he talks to that America. He talks to them all the time.”

Which is why the rest of America needs to stand up and vote, and vote Blue and votewoemn and people of color and LGBTQ Americans.
Send.That.Message.
Kellyanne Conway, _____’s Minister of Propaganda, has said she, too, is a victim of sexual assault:

"I feel very empathetic, frankly, for victims of sexual assault and sexual harassment and rape. I'm a victim of sexual assault. I don't expect Judge Kavanaugh or Jake Tapper or Jeff Flake or anybody to be held responsible for that. You have to be responsible for your own conduct.”

A victim of sexual assault is saying that Dr. Christine Blasey Ford is responsible for her own conduct of being taken into a room and held down against her will while a drunken frat boy tried to rape her.
Take a seat Kelly, you’re an embarrassment to women.
Jake Tapper, on _____ mocking Dr. Christine Blasey Ford for reporting a sexual assault and taking on Senator John Cornyn who said such comments are not “useful”:

“We don’t know if President _____ thinks it’s useful to ridicule a woman claiming she was sexually assaulted or if he just did it ’cause he thought it was fun. But let’s take a moment to reflect that the President of the United States believes it’s appropriate. There appears to be no bottom.”

He just goes lower and lower. That’ll be his legacy ... President Pig.
_____, in response to a question about Brett Kavanaugh’s drinking habits, said he had “compromising” info on a Democratic senator and then claimed to be a teetotaler:

“I happen to know some United States senators. One who is on the other side, who’s pretty aggressive. I’ve seen that person in very bad situations. Okay? I’ve seen that person in very bad situations. Somewhat compromising. And I think it’s very unfair to bring up things like this. I was surprised how vocal [Kavanaugh] was about the fact that he likes beer, and he’s had a little bit of difficulty, I mean he talked about things that happened when he drinks. This is not a man that said that he was perfect with respect to alcohol…I’m not a drinker. I can honestly say I never had a beer in my life. It’s one of my only good traits. I don’t drink. I never had a glass of alcohol. I never had alcohol. For whatever reason. Can you imagine if I had? What a mess I’d be. I would be the world’s worst. I never drank. I never drank.”

First off, this is just another time he’s claimed to ‘know’ something but then not divulging it which proves he’s lying.
And, while it may be true that he doesn’t drink alcohol, his constant sniffing suggests another habit.
Eric Reid, who gained notoriety when he became the first player to join then-teammate Colin Kaepernick in taking a knee during the national anthem, signed with the Carolina Panthers, and spoke about the movement at his first press conference:

“Next year will be 2019. It will mark 400 years since the first slaves touched the soil of this country. That’s 400 years of systemic oppression. That’s slavery, Jim Crow, new Jim Crow, mass incarceration, you name it. The Great Depression—they come out with the New Deal, and black people didn’t have access to those government stimulus packages. The New Deal set up what is known as the modern-day middle class. We didn’t have access to those programs, the GI Bill, social security, home loans, none of that. So this has been happening since my people have gotten here. And so, I just felt the need to say something about it.”

Take a knee. Take a stand.
Anthony Kennedy, former Supreme Court Justice whose retirement created the vacancy for Kavanaugh, on maintaining civil discourse:

“Perhaps we didn’t do too good a job teaching the importance of preserving democracy by an enlightened civic discourse. In the first part of this century we’re seeing the death and decline of democracy.”

Perhaps had you not been forced out we wouldn’t be in this mess right now.
So, thanks, but take a seat.
Jimmy Kimmel, ripping Junior a new one over his disbelief that Kavanaugh accuser Christine Blasey Ford has a fear of flying … Junior Tweeted: “I’m no psychology professor but it does seem weird to me that someone could have a selective fear of flying. Can’t do it to testify but for vacation, well it’s not a problem at all”:

“I agree, you’re not a psychology professor. You are a dull-witted human canker sore who shoots baby hippos out of daddy’s helicopter because it’s the only way you can get an erection. Do us a favor, put the Twitter aside. Go rub a tub of Axe extreme-hold hair gel on your empty head, you chinless son of a circus peanut. Could there be a dumber thing to be than Donald _____ Jr.?”

I think that sums it up.
Greg Abbott, Republican Governor of Texas, called Senate candidate, and Democrat, Beto O’Rourke as “cult-like” in the way that he’s garnered attention in his bid to unseat Ted Cruz:

“He’s been a cult-like, very popular figure the way that he’s run the campaign, but you don’t vote on cult, you don’t vote on personality when you get to the U.S. Senate. You vote on the issues. Texans are hostile to any candidate who’s talking about raising their taxes. Texans are hostile to anybody talking about big government programs run their lives.”

Huh. Tell that to the 55,000 Texans who came to see Beto the other night, compared to the hundreds who show up for Cruz.
Naomi Campbell, on the Cardi B and Nicki Minaj shoe-hurling mess at the Harper’s Bazaar ICONS party:

“It was called an Icon Party but there were no icons there. And I’m going to say it because I told it to Carine Roitfeld to her face. I don’t think it’s something I can’t say. But Kate and I were at home on the couch watching TV. But I was disappointed. I don’t want to see women of color fight. I don’t want to see women fight period. So not there, not that. It’s all music. There’s no division of music and music is for everyone. There’s no discrimination. So I felt very disappointed.”

I love Naomi Campbell but …
In 1998 Campbell beat her assistant Georgina Galanis about the face and neck with a phone and also threatened to throw her out of a moving car.
In 2005 then-assistant Amanda Brack accused Campbell of assaulting her with a BlackBerry mobile phone. Also in 2005, Naomi beat up her longtime friend, actress Yvonne Scio, because she was wearing too similar a dress to the one worn by Campbell.
In 2006 Naomi was arrested for wreaking havoc on a boat. Again in 2006 Naomi was arrested for hitting her housekeeper with a cellphone.
That said, I’ll be going into hiding now, because I think Naomi knows where I live.

I Didn't Say It ....

Eric Reid, San Francisco 49ers Safety, on Mike Pence’s faked “walk out” protest at last week’s game:

"My honest reaction: ... Does anybody know the last time he's (Pence) been to a football game? With that being said, he tweeted out a three-year-old photo of him at a Colts game, so with the information I have, the last time he was at a Colts game was three years ago. So this looks like a PR stunt to me. He knew our team has had the most players protest. He knew that we were probably going to do it again. This is what systemic oppression looks like. A man with power comes to the game, tweets a couple of things out and leaves the game with an attempt to thwart our efforts. Based on the information I have, that's the assumption I've made."

It was all a plan to appease the _____-Pence base of racists and asshats.
Carmen Yulin Cruz, mayor of San Juan, Puerto Rico, on ____ calling her ‘nasty’:

“I don’t give a shit. This isn’t about me or politics. I’m not going to be the face you see out there just giving you a box of food for the photo op. I’m the face of the person who is going to make sure somebody gets that to you … so like the last scene of Gone With the Wind — ‘Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn.'”

I love that a woman cannot be groped in any way shape or form by the lying Hypocritical Bigoted Homophobic Misogynist In Chief.
It kills him that a woman is standing up to him.
Rob James-Collier, who played the closeted butler on Downton Abbey, says he’s had trouble getting roles because casting directors just see him as the “gay bad guy”:

 “I think audiences in the US can identify quite easily with the quintessential English gent and English lady, whereas a neurotic, dark, gay character like Thomas is a hard thing to put into the American market. It can lead to typecasting. Because Thomas Barrow is gay and is, essentially, the bad guy for much of the show, a lot of people within the industry can only see you as that. They might not be in a rush to see you as a heterosexual love interest. That takes time. I always try and do something new and different. Unfortunately, it’s not always the way it turns out because it’s hard. It’s a tough game to be in. And I always say it, but there’s better actors than me out of work all the time.”

Don’t blame America because you’re being typecast; we have lots of out gay actors playing all kinds of roles in both film and TV.
Maybe it’s England, maybe it’s you ... but it’s not America.
“President-For-Now” _____, on his horrific handling of Puerto Rico after the hurricane:

“They had these beautiful, soft towels. Very good towels. And I came in and there was a crowd of a lot of people. And they were screaming and they were loving everything. I was having fun, they were having fun. They said, ‘Throw ’em to me! Throw ’em to me Mr. President!’ The next day they said, ‘Oh, it was so disrespectful to the people.’ It was just a made-up thing.”

The made up part is that no one heard the voices in _____’s head that said to throw the towels other than _____.
Gloria Steinem, offering a solution the gun control:

“I want any young men who buy a gun to be treated like young women who seek an abortion. Think about it: a mandatory 48-hour waiting period, written permission from a parent or a judge, a note from a doctor proving that he understands what he is about to do, time spent watching a video on individual and mass murders, traveling hundreds of miles at his own expense to the nearest gun shop, and walking through protesters holding photos of loved ones killed by guns, protesters who call him a murderer.”

Sounds good to me.
Matt Bomer, on raising three sons—Kit, Henry, and Walker—with his husband, Simon Halls--left:

“What’s meaningful to us are manners, respect, a good work ethic, a belief in themselves, that they can follow their dreams, pursue whatever they want to pursue and to be their most authentic self. Whoever you are and whoever you want to be is accepted and surrounded with love.”

Ooh, scary gay parents raising kids to be decent human beings!
And, as always, Matt is hot!
Donna Karan, fashion designer, standing by Harvey Weinstein and suggesting his victims have been ‘asking for it’:

“I think we have to look at ourselves. Obviously, the treatment of women all over the world is something that has always had to be identified. Certainly in the country of Haiti where I work, in Africa, in the developing world, it’s been a hard time for women. To see it here in our own country is very difficult, but I also think how do we display ourselves? How do we present ourselves as women? What are we asking? Are we asking for it by presenting all the sensuality and all the sexuality? And what are we throwing out to our children today about how to dance and how to perform and what to wear? How much should they show? You look at everything all over the world today and how women are dressing and what they are asking by just presenting themselves the way they do. What are they asking for? Trouble.”

Wait. So if a woman dresses a certain way she’s asking to be sexually assaulted, Donna?
Wow.
Maybe women should stop by any Donna Karan clothing items, lest, by wearing them, they inspire a man to rape them.
