I Didn't Say It ...

Joe Kennedy III, Massachusetts. Democratic congressman, on the just passed GOP-Don’t-Care healthcare bill:
“The latest version of _____care doesn’t just threaten access to behavioral health coverage for those on Medicaid, it threatens access to behavioral health coverage for everyone. There is no mercy in a system that makes healthcare a luxury. There is no mercy in a country that turns their back on those most in need of protection: the elderly, the poor, the sick, and the suffering. There is no mercy in a cold shoulder to the mentally ill. This is not an act of mercy. It is an act of malice. This is not the debate Congress should be having during a mental healthcare crisis. We should be considering steps to vastly expand the transformative mental health reforms made by the ACA, not shrink them. It’s time to go even further.”
And where is the mercy on taking healthcare away from millions of people who need it while giving a tax break to millionaires and insurance companies?
Anyone?

Jimmy Kimmel, on his show last week, making the case for keeping the ACA as it is:
"Before 2014, if you were born with a congenital heart condition like my son was, there was a good chance you would never be able to get health insurance because you had a preexisting condition, you were born with a preexisting condition. If your parents didn't have health insurance, you may not even live long enough to get denied insurance due to a preexisting condition."
And yet the GOP doesn’t care about that. I mean, if there was talk of abortion the Republicans would be all over it, but once the baby is born, they simply don’t care about it.
Hypocritical tribe of thugs.

Wilbur Ross, Commerce Secretary and one of _____’s billionaire buddies, about that attack on Syria last month:
“Just as dessert was being served, the president explained to Mr. Xi he had something he wanted to tell him, which was the launching of 59 missiles into Syria. It was in lieu of after-dinner entertainment. The thing was, it didn’t cost the president anything to have that entertainment.”
Maybe bombing Syria didn’t cost _____ anything, but We The People paid for it with our tax dollars; it cost us sixty million dollars so billionaires could have a laugh about dropping bombs on people.

Stephen Colbert, really, really, going after _____:
“Sir, you attract more skinheads than free Rogain. You have more people marching against you than cancer. You talk like a sign language gorilla that got hit in the head. In fact, the only thing your mouth is good for is being Vladimir Putin’s c**k holster.”
Snap! And suddenly, the _____lodytes are calling for Colbert’s head because of his “homophobic” remarks, though not _____ or any one of his followers has every felt the need to stand up against homophobia when it wasn’t leveled against that Asshat In Chief.

Susan Sarandon, on running into Debra Messing, with whom she had a TwitFeud last year over politics and Hillary Clinton:
“She never says anything to me in person. You know, I just think she’s — she’s not very well informed, and so sometimes she gets in areas that she really hasn’t thought through, maybe. She’s ______ian a little, like that.”
Susan? You’re a fine actress; loved you in Feud, I really did. But you need to STFU.
It was people like you, who didn’t like Hillary, and were pissy that Bernie didn’t get the nod, that helped _____ get into the White House.
This is on you; you are the ill-informed one who held a grudge and fucked this country.
Sit the eff down.

Joe Kennedy III, Massachusetts Democratic Congressman, taking a shot at Lyin’ Paul Ryan and the GOP’s _____Care proposal:
Isn’t it grand when the liberals throw the Bible back in the face of the Bible thumpers like Ryan who have no idea what the Bible says or means?
Loving it!

David Letterman, on President _____:
“I mean, how do you build a dictatorship? First, you undermine the press: ‘The only truth you’re going to hear is from me.’ And he hires the Hunchback of Notre Dame, Steve Bannon, to be his little buddy. Bannon looks like a guy who goes to lunch, gets drunk, and comes back to the office: ‘Steve, could you have just one drink?’ ‘Fuck you.’ How is a white supremacist the chief adviser to our president? Did anybody look that up?”
Preach it, Dave!

Amar’e Stoudemire, former NBA star, asked if he would have a problem with a gay teammate:
“I’m going to shower across the street, make sure my change of clothes are around the corner. And I’m going to drive [and] take a different route to the gym.”

Amar’e Stoudemire, apologizing for being a homophobic dick:
“I want to apologize for my offensive comments against the LGBT community. These remarks were taken from a larger interview where a reporter was asking me hypothetical questions, and all my answers had a comedic undertone. The answers I gave were meant to be taken as jokes and I am deeply sorry for offending anyone. I am open to creating a dialogue to assist the fight the LGBT community encounters daily and will continue to focus on playing basketball.”
Homophobia isn’t funny, asshat, just like if a white player said he’d cross the street rather than shower with a black player is never, never, funny.
Piss off.

Ben Carson, on slaves and how and why they “chose” to come to America:
“That’s what America is about. A land of dreams and opportunity. There were other immigrants who came here in the bottom of slave ships, worked even longer, even harder for less. But they, too, had a dream that one day their sons, daughters, grandsons, granddaughters, great grandsons, great granddaughters might pursue prosperity and happiness in this land.”
I remember reading about Africans being rounded up by slavers, chained together in the holds of ships, crapping themselves, pissing, themselves, fed slop, and having to remain shackled even if the slave next to them died during the voyage.
So, yeah, I believe they saw this as a dram of an opportunity to come to America for a better life by being sold as property, used, beaten, murdered, raped, at the whim of white men.
Ben Carson seriously needs to shut the fuck up.

Martin O’Malley, former governor of Maryland and Democratic Party presidential candidate, trying to persuade people not to attend the White House St. Patrick’s Day gathering:
“The enduring symbol of the United States of America is not the barbed wire fence, it is the Statue of Liberty. So please, ‘in the name of God and of the dead generations from which Ireland receives her old tradition of nationhood, boycott _____’s St. Patrick’s Day gathering at the White House ... Let’s show _____ how many Irish Americans and fellow Americans oppose his policies. Make you Irish ancestors smile. We are not a deportation nation that breaks up immigrant families and separates parents from their children. As John F. Kennedy said, ‘We are a nation of immigrants.’ Our diversity is our greatest strength. Take a stand for the true character of the United States of America—a free and generous country, a Republic with liberty and justice for all.”
Bravo, sir, bravo. We all need to remember that we all came from ancestors who traveled here from somewhere else, and that immigrants are not bad.
Bad is the bigot in the White House spreading fear and hate.
PS Martin O'Malley is hot ... just sayin'.

Gavin Grimm, the trans student, taking his fight to use a bathroom to the Supreme Court—who last week, after _____’s dismissal of Obama’s guidance, sent it back to appeals court:
“This case will not be resolved until after I graduate. But this fight is bigger than me. I came to realize that very early on, and it is truer now than it ever has been. This fight is for other trans youth in my high school. It is for other trans youth in Virginia. It is for all trans youth who are in school or one day will be. It is for the friends and loved ones of these youth, who want these children to be happy and healthy, rather than at risk and in danger as so many trans people are.”
The fight will go on, and trans Americans and their allies will be victorious.
Mark my words.
