I Didn't Say It ... But Frst ...

Look what arrived at my doorstep this afternoon! I cannot wait to read San Geraldo’s story, as well as Mitch’s story, and their story … If you need me, I’ll be reading!

Tim Walz, Democrat Governor of Minnesota, has put the Minnesota National Guard on standby following an ICE gent’s murder of a woman in Minneapolis and has urged Minnesotans to remain peaceful while criticizing the Fascist Regime’s lies:

“We do not need any further help from the federal government. To [Cankles] and [DogKiller]: You‘ve done enough. I want Minnesotans to hear this from me: The desire to get out in the protest and to speak up to this administration of how wrong this is, that is a patriotic duty at this point in time, but it needs to be done safely. I feel your anger, I am angry. They want a show, we can't give it to them."

Stay strong, stay peaceful, and show this regime that we will stand against their fascist tactics and state sanctioned murder.

Resist with your voice and your vote!

Mark Kelly, Democrat Senator from Arizona,  forcefully rejected DUI hire Pete Hegseth’s censure over his “illegal orders” comments, calling it on Free Speech and on generations of service members who have earned their rank through sacrifice:

“Over twenty-five years in the U.S. Navy, thirty-nine combat missions, and four missions to space, I risked my life for this country and to defend our Constitution – including the First Amendment rights of every American to speak out. I never expected that the President of the United States and the Secretary of Defense would attack me for doing exactly that. My rank and retirement are things that I earned through my service and sacrifice for this country. I got shot at. I missed holidays and birthdays. I commanded a space shuttle mission while my wife Gabby recovered from a gunshot wound to the head—all while proudly wearing the American flag on my shoulder. [But] Pete Hegseth wants to send the message to every single retired servicemember that if they say something he or [Cankles] doesn’t like, they will come after them the same way. It’s outrageous and it is wrong. There is nothing more un-American than that. If Pete Hegseth, the most unqualified Secretary of Defense in our country’s history, thinks he can intimidate me with a censure or threats to demote me or prosecute me, he still doesn’t get it. I will fight this with everything I’ve got—not for myself, but to send a message back that Pete Hegseth and [Cankles] don’t get to decide what Americans in this country get to say about their government.”

Mark Kelly is a hero; Hegseth is an adulterous drunk while Cankles is a draft-dodging rapist.

I stand with Kelly.

Chris Murphy, Democrat Senator from Connecticut, on the criminal White House and the attack on Venezuela:

“[Cankles] thinks he is above the law. He steals from taxpayers. He thumbs his nose at the law. And now he is starting an illegal war with Venezuela that American didn’t ask for and has nothing to do with our security. How does going to war in South America help regular Americans who are struggling? How does this do anything about drugs entering the US when Venezuela produces no fentanyl? What is the actual security threat to the United States? And what happens next in Venezuela? He cannot answer these questions—and that’s why there was no briefing to Congress to explain this action, and no briefing scheduled. And Maduro’s illegitimate election does not give the president the power to invade without Congressional approval, not does it create ma national security justification. That contention is laughable. This is about satisfying [his] vanity; making good on the long-standing neocon grudge against Maduro, enriching [Cankles’] oil industry backers and distracting voters from Epstein and rising costs.”

Did anyone ever think a morally bankrupt con artist would ever be elected president … twice?

Did anyone ever think that America would ever attack another country without cause, without Congressional approval, just for money?

We got the war because we elected a draft-dodging criminal.

Pete Buttigieg, former Transportation Secretary and future President of the United States, speaking truth:

“It’s an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president—failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home—decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to ‘run’ a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one. As of this week, millions of Americans are now paying thousands more for health insurance. If the President and Congressional GOP think Washington has the capacity to ‘run’ Venezuela right now, why won't they fix the insurance cost crisis they've created here at home?”

The country is in turmoil because of one man and hist goose-stepping group of lapdogs and sycophants and they want you to believe they can run another country?

Gustavo Petro, President of Columbia, on the invasion of Venezuela and the threats against other South American countries by a little dick-tater:

“A clan of pedophiles wants to destroy our democracy. To keep Epstein’s list from coming out. They send warships to kill fishermen and threaten our neighbor for their oil.”

All to save a child raping predator from prison.

That’s the legacy of the GOP going forward.

Jacob Frey, Democrat Mayor of Minneapolis, where Renee Nicole Good was murdered by an inept, untrained, lunatic with a gun and a face mask:

“I have a message for ICE—get the fuck out of Minneapolis. We do not want you here. People are being hurt. Families are being ripped apart. And now [Renee Nicole Good] is dead. That’s on you. It’s also on you to leave.”

We all knew this was going to happen at some point when you allow an inept, foolish, out of control Kristi Noem play sheriff and hire the untrained and uneducated dregs of society to go after anyone who doesn’t look white.

We all knew someone would die.

This is Kristi Noem’s fault, and Cankles, and the shooter, Jonathan Ross, needs to be arrested.

I Didn't Say It ...

Rob Halford, Judas Priest frontman, on marrying his now-husband Thomas after more than three decades together:

“I’d  given up asking when, suddenly on one of our night walks, [Thomas] goes, ‘I think we should get married.’ It was a very simple ceremony. Obviously, me and him, and an officiant. There were just four of us around the pool, around the cactus, the heavy metal cactus. And it was over in an instant. But it was just a beautiful, simple ceremony. It seems like you’ve completed something in your relationship [being married]. More than anything else, the commitment goes to another level when you get married. It’s a great thing to do. And if it doesn’t work, that’s life. But I think after being together for 35 years, it’s working. America is still incredibly homophobic. I’ve lived here for a long time and I’ve seen a lot happen since the ’80s, and it really gets me angry and upset.”

While the 74-year-old English musician — who came out publicly in 1988 — seems to be enjoying wedded bliss, he also expressed dismay at the lack of progress in LGBTQ+ acceptance in the heavy metal scene. Asked whether attitudes toward sexuality have changed over the years, Halford, who splits his time between the U.S. and the U.K., said that it depends on where you are.

Adam Kinzinger, politician, former GOP Representative from Illinois and political commentator, offering a plan to help Ukraine with Russian funds:

“Here’s an idea. The West has held about $300 billion in Russian assets. They should release $2 billion a day to Ukraine until Russia stops the war, or they disperse it all. The Russia will have to accept that the war has an additional real cost per day.”

It sounds like a gran idea!!! Even Russia, and Putin, understand a kick to the wallet!

Margaret Cho, comedian, calling out South Carolina GOP shrew Nancy Mace for using transphobia to advance her political career:

“Nancy Mace, you stupid bitch. The name ‘Mace’ is appropriate because every time you talk, it’s like pepper spray in my face. You are the worst. Every opportunity you get, you use to hurt trans people. Every time you open your mouth, trans people die. You’re killing trans people for no reason other than to further your political career. Like, you say you do this because you’re a survivor. You’re ‘a survivor’??! Fuck you. Like, who isn’t at this point? But you are the worst predator of all. Bottom of FormI don’t even think that you believe any of the things that you say. You’re just doing it to further your career, and that is the worst kind of thing.”

Cho gets Mace for exactly who she is, a hate-filled bigot spreading fear and lies to get elected. South Carolina can, and should, so better.

Gustavo Petro, President of Columbia, on Cankles at the UN last week:

“There’s total immunity for presidents attending the assembly., and the US government cannot condition the opinion of the US. The fact that the Palestinian authority was not allowed entry and that my visa was revoked for asking the US and Israeli armies not to support a genocide, which is a crime against humanity, demonstrates that the US government no longer complies with international law. The United Nations headquarters cannot continue to be in New York.”

The world is standing up to Cankles, where are the American people??

Speak up! Resist!

Ana Navarro, cohost of The View and political commentator, on her attacks on Cankles:

“I will calm down when the corrupt, pathological liar, narcissist, misogynist who peddles racism and threatens American values domestically and America’s standing abroad, is out of the White House. Until then … I will be offended. I will be outraged. I will speak out.”

Be like Ana! Offended, outraged, and screaming!

Eric Swalwell, California Democrat Congressman, on politics after Cankles:

“I don’t say this lightly, when we escape the [Felon] Hell, there needs to be a Presidential Crimes Commission. It should be made up of independent prosecutors who look at those who enabled a corrupt president.”

 I don’t want the Democrats becoming like the Cankles Retribution Lists, but there needs to be accountability for those in office who enabled a criminal to run roughshod over this country.

Jeff Hiller, out actor, on winning his first Emmy for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for Somebody, Somewhere:

“I know it’s a cliché to say you don’t think you’d win but every single article that came out said there was no chance in hell I would win. And I believed them! So when I heard my name called out, I took a beat to make sure it really was my name. I didn’t want to stand up and walk to the podium if I hadn’t won. That’s really something you can’t live down. {Winning an Emmy] seemed like a fun and glamorous thing to happen but I like my vision board to be full of goals that I can work towards with concrete steps. I have no control over winning an award. Plus, I had done two seasons of a show I was very proud of, and the show was never recognized, so I sort of thought we were too small to receive awards attention, so I just never expected this. Which is not to say that I am not very much enjoying this wild ride. The other best thing about getting this Emmy is seeing how genuinely supportive and kind people have been. Every time I look at that meme [of his competitors in the category, Michael Urie, Bowen Yang, and Coleman Domingo, applauding him with delight], I tear up. People have been so sincere when they say congratulations. It makes me feel like a part of a beautiful community that celebrates each other, and I couldn’t be happier to be part of it.”

I saw his win and the whole thing, from his expression to the faces in the audience was just sheer joy. I have never seen his show, never even heard of it actually, but the joy … aaaaaaah.
