Thom Tillis, GOP Senator from North Carolina, blasting #MoscowMarge in a leaked audio recording: “I think she is uninformed, she is a total waste of time, and I’m embarrassed to have actually lived geographically in her district at one time before she was there. She is a horrible leader. She is dragging our brand down. She, not the Democrats, are the biggest risk to us getting back to a majority.”  Tony Gonzales, GOP Representative from Texas, on CNN’s State Of The Union, on GOP scumbags in Congress: “I served 20 years in the military. It’s my absolute honor to be in Congress, but I serve with some real scumbags! Matt Gaetz, he paid minors to have sex with him at drug parties. Bob Good endorsed my opponent, a known neo-Nazi. These people used to walk around with white hoods at night. Now they’re walking around with white hoods in the daytime. Look, it didn’t surprise me that some of these folks voted against aid to Israel, but I was encouraged to see by a nearly 10-to-1 mark that Republicans supported our allies on the battlefield.”  Mike Lawler, New York Republican Representative, on the move by Matt Gaetz and other pissy Republicans trying to oust Mike Johnson as Speaker: “Some of these folks have nobody to blame but themselves for why Speaker Johnson’s hand in negotiations has been weakened. I look at this very simply. In October, the House was thrown into chaos by Matt Gaetz and seven useful idiots that teamed up with him within the Republican Conference and 208 Democrats. And at this moment, when you see what happened in the aftermath of vacating the chair and Israel attacked in a terrorist attack a week later, to do that again would be detrimental to the country and global security.”  Dan Crenshaw, Texas GOP Representative, also taking on the pissy GOP bitches in Congress; “I guess their reasoning is they want Russia to win so badly that they want to oust the Speaker over it. I mean that’s a strange position to take. I think they want to be in the minority too. I think that’s an obvious reality. I’m still trying to process all the bullshit. To be clear, he’s being threatened for even allowing a vote to come to the floor. For allowing the constitutional process to play out as intended by our Founders. That’s a wild thing to consider, especially when his enemies consider themselves ‘conservative.’ Not conserving the painstaking constitutional process our Founders created, that’s for sure. Conserving Putin’s gains on the battlefield, more like it.”  James Lankford, GOP Senator from Oklahoma, agreeing with Fox host Neil Cavuto that the border crisis is the fault of Hair Furor: “It was and it is painful to be able to watch. It got stirred up in all the presidential politics and several of my colleagues started looking for ways after President Trump said, ‘Don’t fix anything during the presidential election. It’s the single biggest issue during the election, don’t resolve this, we’ll resolve it next year.’ Quite a few of my colleagues backed up and looked for a reason to be able to shoot against it and then walked away. My issue is if we’re pursuing everything, we very often end up with nothing. If we’re pursuing someone coming later to fix it, later seems to never come. When we have a moment to fix things, we should fix as many things as we can, then come back later and fix the rest. He’s got an office that he’s running for. He’s got a campaign that he’s running, I’m already in office, I’ve got a responsibility to be able to carry on this.” But here’s the problem: too little too late. While you may be speaking out against the asshats in your party now, where were these conversations last year or the year before. Gaetz and Greene have been idiots and disgraces in Congress but y’all said nothing because you had a majority. Y’all knew hair Furor was trying to sabotage a border deal to make Biden look bad but the only people with egg on their faces are members of the GOP who goose-stepped along with him. Thanks for speaking up, but now you should try to act up. |

I Didn't Say It ... The GOP Comes For Their Own But Is It Too Little Too Late?
Monday, January 29, 2024
Vote Blue. Here's Another Slew of Reasons Why
 |
Here we are again, with a wee taste of the lunacy, racism, criminality, and bigotry and hate inside the GOP …  It’s not a surprise really, because the GOP rails about the border during election years and then says nothing, and does nothing, at other times. It’s not about solving the problem it’s about the GOP hoping to stay in power so maybe this time, maybe, we should vote them all out of office since they don’t want to work for the country that hired them.  House Concurrent Resolution 11 which, to be fair, is still several legislative steps from becoming law, would give citizens the ability to gather signatures to propose new state laws or change existing laws, but it bans the people of Mississippi from placing an issue on a statewide ballot about abortion. I know it won’t happen any time soon, but the people of Mississippi need to clean House, and the Senate, in their state.  Elise Stefanik is trying to rewrite history because she hopes to be the Pussy Groper’s Veep.  Seriously. Mace also declared to her staff during the riot that she was a “never-Trumper” while she was hiding with staff in her office on that day. Then she said she supported him, and then she said she didn't.  The Oklahoma GOP is punishing a man for doing the work for which he was hired because he was working with Democrats while his own party sits on their hands and does nothing but complain. But that's the GOP way.  Think on that … they want to legalize discrimination; sure they’re starting with transgender Americans, but soon it will be the gay Americans, and then any other group that doesn’t fit the GOP straight white male agenda. Also in Iowa, a new bill in the House of Representatives would make it a legal requirement for public school students and teachers in grades 1-12 to sing the national anthem every day. Physically able students would need to “stand at attention” and “remove any headdress that is not being worn for religious purposes.” VOTE THEM OUT.  But in private, Gaetz told a different story, that his effort to undercut, isolate, and ultimately remove McCarthy was payback for the ethics probe. Matt Gaetz is still under investigation for being a sexual predator.  Word has it that the new method takes several minutes to run its course and the prisoner is writhing and screaming the entire time. Alabama GOP Governor, and racist, Kay Ivey stated: “I pray that Elizabeth Sennett’s family can receive closure after all these years dealing with that great loss.” Why not just use a guillotine, Kay; or firing squad; or tar and feather him.  Kristi Noem; a faux Christian who condones murdering immigrants rather than work toward a border solution. GOOD NEWS  But one sane member of the GOP, for at least this particular day, North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis urged his Republican colleagues not to make it all about politics at the behest of another candidate: “I didn’t come here to have the president as a boss or a candidate as a boss. I came here to pass good, solid policy. It is immoral for me to think you looked the other way because you think this is the linchpin for [Hair Furor] to win.” Tillia best be careful, or he’ll be censured like James Lankford because, again, the GOP doesn’t want to solve the immigration crisis; not when they can use it as a campaign tool every election cycle. And on the Democrat side, here are some FACTS about the economy under President Biden …  And that’s just a small taste of GOP lunacy ... pardoning traitors for political points; gibberish speakers; anti-military criminals; lunatics and Big Liars; Christian Nationalist Nazi sympathizers; party over country fools; unfit for political office; liars and flip-floppers; and Texas. So what do we do? We ...   |

I Didn't Say It
 |
James Lankford, Oklahoma GOP Senator, spouting nonsense: “And… that’s not some radical principle, just for people to be faithful and for God to bless them. I mean, it’s just the most basic principle of all. As funny as it sounds, we’ve experienced a big drought in Oklahoma. The week after—the week after—we passed this law to be able to protect the lives of children, we had the most overwhelming rainstorm that came across the state, and it was such an interesting conversation among people in the church, like, “Did that just happen? Did that just occur?” I guess Lankford thinks 'God' sent the rains to thank
Oklahoma for banning abortion, but then why flood the state and leave so many
homeless? What was 'God' saying there? |
 |
Adam Kinzinger, Illinois GOP Congressman, on what the GOP might do if they take
the House in November and are led by the ‘crazies’: “Back before we had all the crazies here—just some crazies—you know, every vote we took, we had to somehow defund ObamaCare. You’ll remember, right when we took over it was we need to do the omnibus bill, but we’re not going to vote for it because it doesn’t defund ObamaCare. That’s going to look like child’s play in terms of what Marjorie Taylor Greene is going to demand of Kevin McCarthy. They’re going to demand an impeachment vote on President Biden every week.” And imagine a Congress getting absolutely
nothing done because they want to impeach the president as payback because they
supported a racist rapist traitor for the last six-plus years. |

Herschel Walker, GOP candidate for Senator from
Georgia, speaking the truth for a change: “I’m a country boy. I’m not that smart. [Warnock]’s a preacher. He is smart and wears these nice suits. So, he is going to show up and embarrass me at the debate Oct. 14th and I’m just waiting to show up and I will do my best. He has made every excuse not to show up. I begged him until I chased him down and then he decided he was going to show up Oct. 14. I didn’t agree to do his debate because it wasn’t fair. A fair debate is doing it in front of the voters, and I’ve agreed.” I literally, again, have no idea what he’s
trying to say, but then he warned me that he’s dumb. |

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Los Angeles Lakers legend, on
Anthony Edwards, Minnesota Timberwolves guard, anti-LGBTQ+ comments: “Another athlete, another anti-gay slur. Last year, Kevin Durant was fined $50,000 fine for using “offensive and derogatory language on social media” after texting messages that included threatening language and anti-gay and misogynistic slurs. He also apologized. It would be easy to dismiss Edwards’ immaturity—he’s only 21—if not for the fact that we’ve seen so many cases of famous athletes and owners in the news spouting racism, misogyny, and anti-LGBTQ+ sentiments. This damages sports in general and their teams specifically, and revives the old stereotype of the dumb, bullying jock. But more important, it perpetuates prejudice against a group and that prejudice often leads to restricting rights and to violence. I don’t think an apology—however heartfelt—is enough. Edwards needs to repair the damage with some voluntary community service with LGBTQ+ organizations, particularly youth groups, to show his support. If he can’t do that much to undo the harm he’s caused, then his apology is meaningless.” Edwards apologized for homophobic comments he made during an
Instagram story, which had been posted over the weekend, where he used homophobic
slurs to describe a group of shirtless men. And Abdul-Jabbar is right because the apology, without any
effort to show change, to prove Edwards has changed, is just more words that he
may not mean either. |

Ron Howard, Academy Award winning director and former child star, responding to a Twitterer who asked “why is the smallest of achievements heralded as better than the second coming of Jesus when it comes to Obama, but with _____ it is only negativity from Hollywood & Democrats”:
“In the entertainment industry many who have known [or] worked [with _____ think that while his reality show was fun and ran a long time, he’s a self-serving, dishonest, morally bankrupt ego maniac who doesn’t care about anything or anyone but his Fame & bank account & is hustling the US”
Simple. Concise. Cogent.
Correct.

Joe Biden, on maybe choosing a GOP running mate:
“I would but I can’t think of one now. There’s some really decent Republicans that are out there still, but here’s the problem right now. They’ve gotta step up.”
No, Joe, they gotta speak up and denounce the traitor in the White House, vote to impeach his flabby ass and then spend the rest of their lives apologizing for their silence.
Then, and only then, should anyone look to the GOP as being the leaders of anything.

Linda Ronstadt, one of the greatest singers of all time, speaking to Anderson Cooper, on _____:
"I was sure that Trump was going to get elected, the day he announced. I said, 'It's going to be like Hitler, and the Mexicans are the new Jews.' The intelligentsia of Berlin, and the literati, and all the artists were just busy doing their thing. Hitler rose to power—there were a lot of chances to stop him, [but] they didn't speak out. The industrial complex thought they could control him once they got him in office, and of course, he was not controllable. By the time he got established, he put his own people in place and stacked the courts, and did what he had to do to consolidate his power. If you read the history, you won't be surprised [by the comparison between _____ and Hitler], it's exactly the same. I've read a lot on the history of Hitler, and people keep drawing comparisons. They're so staggering. It's step by step by step. He's isolating us, he's taking us out [of contact] with South America, Mexico, Canada."
Put his own people in power. Stacked the courts. Consolidated his power.
It was Hitler, and it is _____.
PS The Linda Ronstadt documentary, The Sound of My Voice is on CNN this week and it’s an amazing look at an incredible talent.

Pete Buttigieg, on Biden, Ukraine and impeachment:
“There’s been no allegation, let alone finding, of wrongdoing [involving Joe Biden]. I think it’s the wrong conversation to be having right now, though, given the spectacular misconduct that we have already seen in facts that are not in dispute, where the only argument to be had is over whether it rises to the level of removal.”
It does. Because if we don’t stop him now, he will feel emboldened to do more.

James Lankford, GOP Senator from Oklahoma, on _____:
“I said very early on in the campaign time period, when people asked me in 2016, ‘What are you looking for?’ Well, I said I always look for a president who can be a role model. I don’t think that President _____, as a person, a very good role model for a lot of different youth, but that’s just me personally. I don’t like the way that he tweets, some of the things that he says—his word choices, at times, are not my word choices.”
He’s not a role model for anyone, except maybe grifters, con artists, rapists, adulterers, traitors, liars and cheats.

Andrew Cuomo, Governor of New York, on the knife attack at a Hanukkah celebration at a New York rabbi’s home:
“This is intolerance meets ignorance meets illegality. This is an intolerant time in this country. We see anger. We see hatred exploding.”
And we see it every single day from the Buffoon-In-Chief.

Jamie Raskin, Democratic Congressman from Maryland, on Senators Moscow Mitch McConnell and Leningrad Lindsey Graham openly admitting they will not conduct an impartial impeachment trial against _____:
“The way the Constitution is set up in Article I, for impeachment purposes, the House acts like a grand jury and prosecutor. It brings the charges. Two charges have been brought forward, abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, in our investigation. Now, it goes to the Senate, and they must conduct a real trial. Senator McConnell said he had seen enough and was coordinating with the White House, and Lindsey Graham said he didn’t need to see facts at all. That’s a disgraceful abdication of their duty. And they have to have the others solemnly swear in the matter of impeachment of Donald _____ they will render impartial justice under the Constitution and the laws. It’s not impartial justice if you say you already made up your mind and don’t need to see facts and evidence. And that is true not just for Republicans but Democrats, too. Democrats should be open with the possibility they come forward with exculpatory evidence. We haven’t seen any, but maybe there is an alibi we haven’t seen yet.”
______ has dirt on both; Mitch’s wife and Miss Lindsey’s private life. No other explanation for why these two bootlicking goose-steppers could go from calling _____ the worst possible choice for president to being his lapdogs.

I Didn't Say It ...

Henry Rollins, on [t]Rump 2016:
"In a nation of hundreds of millions of people, there is one man born to lead. A man who stands head and shoulders above the rest. A lone alpha who burns incandescent in a vast wasteland of darkness. When asked to serve in Vietnam, he said no and took a deferment. He took a few of them, actually, because he is his own man. He got married. The merger didn’t work. She was fired. So was the next one. It’s business, not personal — like America! He has overcome adversity. Like bankruptcy. And with an almost Michelangelo-like genius, he conquered the K2 challenge of his hair. He is what America needs. A man with so much self-confidence that, if you put him in the Oval Office, some of it will no doubt trickle down to you. Who is this man who will put all other world leaders in their place? The same man who just read a cellphone number, allegedly Lindsey Graham’s private line, out loud so the world could hear. (Hey, I laughed.) This man is America. So bend over, relax and hold onto something solid, because here he comes — here comes Donald Trump 2016. And when he puts it in, you’ll know who your daddy is."
Rollins rules!

Clay Aiken, on Donald Trump:
“I kind of hope he decides to stick with it and maybe give people another option outside of the Republicans and Democrats.”
And that option is The Blowhards With Money Party?
We already have that, Clay, and it’s called the GOP.

Barbara Boxer, US Democratic Senator, on how she is bothered by men, like fellow Senator James Lankford lecturing women about reproductive health:
“I just don’t like lectures by men about what it’s like. I’m pro-choice and I just have to say, using pregnancy as a political football doesn’t sit well with the people I represent and the people of this country. We have to respect one another. I respect your view entirely. I’m asking you to respect mine. Keep Uncle Sam out of my private life and my children’s and my grandkids’ and your’s. Families will make these decisions with their God, with their doctor.”
Sounds pretty clear, right? Keep the government out of women’s vaginas.
|
 |
James Lankford, US Republican Senator, in response:
“I’m a dad of two daughters. I had something to do with the birth as well, and was also there. I was there during the sonograms.”
Wait, let’s make one thing queer, James. After you shot the wad, it was all on your wife; she carried the children; she birthed the children; she breastfed the children.
You helped; you helped, you didn't birth. Deal with it, and stay out of women’s issues and quit trying to make abortion a man’s issue.
It isn’t.

 |
Kelly Osbourne, on Donald [t]Rump’s anti-immigrant lunacy:
“And if you kick every Latino out of this country, then who is going to be cleaning your toilets, Donald Trump?”
Look, I know what she meant, but she went about it all wrong.
She was certainly not implying that the only job for which Latinos are needed is to clean toilets; she meant that, possibly, a great many maids in those [t]Rump hotels are Latina and so maybe [t]Rump should think twice … twice? I mean once … before bashing Hispanics.

Jeb Bush, on defunding Planned Parenthood due to the GOP lie that the organization is selling aborted fetuses:
"I’m not sure we need half a billion dollars in funding for women’s health programs. If you took dollar for dollar, there are many extraordinarily fine organizations, community health organizations that exist, federally sponsored community health organizations to provide quality care for women on a wide variety of health issues. But abortion should not be funded by the government, any government in my mind."
First thing, Jeb; abortion is not funded by the government by law so quit lying and pandering. Secondly, we need trillions and trillions of dollars in defense money but $500 million in women’s health issues—like cancer screenings and treatment—is too much?

I Didn't Say It....
Andrew Sullivan, on President Obama's endorsement of
marriage equality:
"It's hugely
important and to tell you the truth, I didn't realize how important it would be
until it happened. Beforehand, I was kind of steeled. I was like, 'I don't
care, he's going to disappoint us again.' And then I sat down and watched our
president tell me that I am his equal, that I'm no longer outside, I'm fully
part of this family and to hear the president who is in some ways a father
figure speak to that, the tears came down like with many people in our
families, to be included....I never understood the power of a president's
words until that day, really. I thought, all that matters is the states and the
Congress and the Defense of Marriage Act and I had all this in my head and
suddenly this man saying, 'I'm with you, I get it, you're like me, I'm like
you, there is nothing between us, we are the same people and we are equal human
beings and I want to treat you the way you treat me.' That -- that was
overwhelming. That's all I can say. I was at a loss for words."
I think we all felt the
same way.
Reince Priebus, Republican National Committee chair,
on whether or not marriage equality is a civil rights issue:
“I don’t think it’s a matter of civil rights. I think
it’s just a matter of whether or not we’re going to adhere to something that’s
been historical and religious and legal in this country for many, many years. I
mean, marriage has to have a definition. And we just happen to believe it’s
between a man and a woman....People in this country, no matter straight or gay,
deserve dignity and respect. However, that doesn’t mean it carries on to
marriage."
Typical GOP goose-stepping moron.
He actually lumps religion and legality in the same
sentence even though the two have no place together in law.
How can we expect the GOP to evolve on equality when they
can’t even understand the Constitution?
Bristol Palin, single unwed mother, high school graduate, and reality show
whore, on Barack Obama's methods of raising his children:
"While it’s great to listen to your
kids’ ideas, there’s also a time when dads simply need to be dads. In this
case, it would’ve been helpful for him to explain to Malia and Sasha that while
her friends parents are no doubt lovely people, that’s not a reason to change
thousands of years of thinking about marriage. Or that – as great as her
friends may be – we know that in general kids do better growing up in a
mother/father home. Ideally, fathers help shape their kids’ worldview."
I love how the girl who
got knocked up out of marriage is suddenly the Marriage Expert.
That’s like having Bristol
Palin be an Abstinence Expert and….
She is?
Wow, the stupid apple not
only felt out of the stupid tree, it hit every single stupid branch on the way
down, and then landed on a pile of stupid called Levi, and then fucked him.
R. Clarke Cooper, Log Cabin
Republican head, on Mittsy's marriage equality lack of evolution:
"Governor Mitt
Romney's statement in opposition to not just marriage but civil unions
jeopardizes his ability to win moderates, women and younger voters, especially
as a large majority of Americans favor some form of relationship recognition
for their LGBT friends and neighbors. Ultimately, the response of the
Republican candidates this election cycle will determine not just endorsements
by Log Cabin Republicans, but the votes of millions of Americans who are simply
tired of the culture wars."
Good luck with that.
Your presumptive nominee
and even the head of your committee disagree.
Oh, well, you can try
again in 2016.
Steny Hoyer, Democratic
House Minority Whip, on marriage equality:
"I have believed that
the phrase ‘civil union’ was an appropriate definition of a relationship that
is both different and the same between two people of the same sex. And I have
believed strongly that such couples must be treated equally under the law.
Because I believe that equal treatment is a central tenet of our nation, I
believe that extending the definition of marriage to committed relationships
between two people, irrespective of their sex, is the right thing to do and
will not, in any way, undermine the institution of marriage so important to our
society nor impose a threat to any individual marriage. It will, however,
extend the respect due to every one of our fellow citizens that we would want
for ourselves and our children."
And the Evolution
continues……
Michele Bachmann,
withdrawing her dual citizenship in America and Switzerland, roughly five
seconds after it was announced she was accepting dual citizenship in America
and Switzerland, Ladybird's land of origin:
"I sent a letter to
the Swiss Consulate requesting withdrawal of my dual Swiss citizenship, which
was conferred upon me by operation of Swiss law when I married my husband in
1978. I took this action because I want to make it perfectly clear: I was born
in America and I am a proud American citizen. I am, and always have been, 100
percent committed to our United States Constitution and the United States of
America. As the daughter of an Air Force veteran, stepdaughter of an Army
veteran and sister of a Navy veteran, I am proud of my allegiance to the
greatest nation the world has ever known."
Pandering delusional,
married to a homosexual, moron.
Howard Stern, new
America's Got Talent judge, on fellow celebrity judges Britney Spears, and
Jennifer Lopez:
"Well, I think it's a wonderful decision [on the $15
million deal Spears just signed to become The X Factor judge]. Britney still
thinks the earth is flat. I don't anticipate great opinions from her. I
think she's gonna sit there like J.Lo, 'Oh, you're wonderful, you're terrific.
You think I can get a perfume endorsement out of this?' As far as any real
criticism, I think Simon Cowell and L.A. Reid will do that. I think Britney
will sit there and eat a lollipop and wear a sexy outfit. I'll tune in to
see what kind of train wreck she is, absolutely."
Snap!
Rick Santorum, bigot, homophobe, moron, failed
presidential candidate, on wanting Mitt Romney to talk up his anti-gay values:
"This is a very potent weapon, if you will, for
Governor Romney if he’s willing to step up and take advantage of a president
who is very much out of touch with the values of America...Hopefully Governor
Romney will continue to stand tall for his position on this issue and
understanding how detrimental it would be for society for it to have this
changed."
Like Romney needs to amp up his fear and loathing of the
LGBT community.
Like he needs the help of Frothy.
He’s enough lying, flip-flopping, pandering hatred for the
whole party, all by himself.
James Lankford, Oklahoma Republican Congressman, on his
support for legislation making it okay to fire someone for being gay....oh and
how being gay is a choice:
"Well, you’re now dealing with behavior and I’m
trying to figure out exactly what you’re trying to mean by that. Because you’re
dealing with — race and sexual preferences are two different things. One is a
behavior-related and preference-related and one is something inherently — skin
color, something obvious, that kind of stuff. You don’t walk up to someone on
the street and look at them and say, “Gay or straight? I think it’s a choice
issue. Are tendencies and such? Yes. But I think it’s a choice issue."
Oh Jimmy. I know its Oklahoma but it doesn’t have to be
stupid.
See, your being stupid is a choice. Your being a homophobe
is a choice. My thinking you’re an idiot is a choice.
My being gay is an orientation.
Bob Staake, artist, on his art piece for the recent cover
of The New Yorker:
“I am honored to be doing this cover. It’s a celebratory
moment for our country, and that’s what I tried to capture. (I don’t especially
like those rainbow colors, but they are what they are—I had to use them.) I
wanted to celebrate the bravery of the President’s statement—a statement long
overdue—but all the more appreciated in this political year. We are on the
right side of history.”
I think his art
should become life. I’d like to see the columns lit up in Rainbow colors next
year as we celebrate Obama’s second term, and LGBT Pride.
Amirite?
