GOP Dumpster Fire: Take Them At Their Word

There’s an old saying about when someone shows you who they are, believe them; and when someone says something, openly and publicly, believe that, too, and not the spin machine that envelopes the liar afterwards.

Here are a few examples of liars, and morons, and weirdos showing us who they are …


Moments before The Felon took the stage at the National Association of Black Journalists [NABJ] convention Ken Lemon, the organization’s president, was told that The Felon did not want to be fact-checked live and was refusing to go on stage:

“[His team] said, ‘Well, can you not fact check? He’s not going to take the stage if you fact-check.'”

The Q&A was delayed more than an hour before he eventually joined a panel of Black journalists and blamed the delay on audio problems.

Facts are hard when you’re a pathological liar.


George Stephanopoulos abruptly cut off a wild interview with Florida GOP Representative Byron Donalds after the congressman repeatedly dodged a question about The Felon potentially pardoning January 6 rioters who have been convicted of assaulting law enforcement officers. They also battled over comments made by The Felon questioning the racial identity of Vice President Kamala Harris.

Donalds denied The Felon ever said he would pardon the insurrectionists, a promise he has made many times, even as last as last week.

It’s like lying is second nature to the GOP.


J.D. Vance has been making headlines for his “rocky rollout” since being named The Felon’s running mate with his extreme, and extremely stupid comments; but now we learn that J.D. has some extreme investments.

He has had a six-figure stake in Rumble, an online video platform that hosts Russian propaganda and to far-right personalities like Stew Peters and Tim Pool. It has also featured explicitly neo-Nazi images and themes like a song touting the “Reich” and calling for Jews to be placed in ovens from a “dissident rapper.”

I imagine J.D. did Nazi this story coming out?


Fox News’ resident Box of Wine, Jeanine Pirro is questioning Vice President Kamala Harris’ sobriety since taking office:

“Her past three-and-a-half years in the White House has been a joke. You have to look at this woman and say, you know, ‘Is she sober during the last three-and-a-half years?’”

For someone who, in 2020, seemed to be having so much to drink fun while working from home that she was late to her own show—which ran for fifteen minutes before Pirro appeared—and when she finally did show up, she looked three sheets, or five sheets, to the wind, slurring and stammering, maybe Judge Boxed Wine isn’t the right person to question sobriety in anyone but herself.


In another show of how he prefers Russia over America, The Felon congratulated Vladimir Putin over a prisoner swap that took place this week, saying the Russian strongman had outsmarted U.S. officials as part of the largest such deal since the end of the Cold War.

He said not one word about the Americans coming home because he cares not about them; his only concern is congratulating Putin.


The U.S. Senate campaign of Republican Bernie Moreno took to X last week to claim that because of the Biden administration’s policies, migrants have “destroyed” Ohio communities. But, when asked to name which communities  had been harmed by migration, where the migrants doing the destruction came from, and how the communities had been harmed Moreno couldn’t answer.

Liars can’t answer.


The Felon says President Kamala Harris wouldn’t be able to stand up to world leaders because of her appearance, adding that he didn’t want to spell it out but viewers would know what he meant:

“She’ll be like a play toy … They’re going to walk all over her. And I don’t want to say as to why. But a lot of people understand it.”

No, only racists understand it; it disgusts other people.


J.D. Vance, in another resurfaced interview:

“To be a little stark about this, I think we have to go to war against the anti-child ideology that exists in our country. Not enough people have accepted that if they put their entire life’s meaning into their credential, into where they went to school, into what kind of job they have …”

This is the same guy who stood at a podium and listed off his resume while questioning Kamala’s accomplishments and never once mentioned his children.

J.D. likes rules for everyone else and different rules for himself; typical Republican.


The Felon posted a bonkers conspiracy theory suggesting that the FBI had advance knowledge of—or even ordered—the assassination attempt against him:

 “WHAT DID YOU KNOW AND WHEN DID YOU KNOW ABOUT IT? RETRUTH IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHO ORDERED THE ASSASSINATION OF ]The Felon].”

I still think the call was coming from inside Mar-Illegal … say Melanie’s room?

J.D. Vance, in yet another resurfaced video:

I’ve seen people who become more attached to their communities, to their families, to their country, because they have children … And of course, you talk about going on Twitter … and almost always, the people who are most deranged and most psychotic are people who don’t have kids at all.”

I wonder if J.D. reads The Felon’s Truth Social posts, or Junior or The Dumb One’s twitter rants, or even his own incoherent, hate-filled, sociopathic bull shiz on Twitter.


Daily Wire host Michael Knowles claiming Pete isn’t gay:

“I’ve always taken Pete at his word that he is a homosexual. However, I have some friends including a homosexual friend of mine, Spencer Klavan, who has said for a long time that Pete Buttigieg is not really gay. I’m not saying he’s a straight white guy. I’m saying this is the conspiracy theory. ‘He’s a straight white guy.’ So he’s got this problem. Right? He’s over there at Harvard. He says, ‘Shoot, man. I’m not gonna rise very far in liberal politics if I’m the most evil type of person in the world, a straight white guy. So I need something. I need some struggle.’”

Yes, Pete “turned” gay, met a man, married that man, and then had children with that man, but he’s not gay he just wants to get ahead in politics.

I kinda think Matty wishes he was homosexual.


North Dakota Governor and failed VP candidate—until perhaps The Felon dumps J.D. Weirdo—Doug Burgum claimed that Russia only agreed to a prisoner swap with the United States because they think The Felon is going to win the presidential election in November.

Then why not wait and give the glory to the gelatinous mound of orange flesh? Why give Biden the win?

Because Joe did it, Dougie.


J.D. Vance defended The Felon’s lies about Kamala Harris’ racial identity, saying that it was “totally reasonable” to describe the vice president as someone who “pretends to be somebody different, depending on the audience she’s talking to.”

Vance, who is the father of three biracial children, said The Felon’s comments “don’t give me pause at all.”

J.D. is a racist, a fascist, a moron, a self-loathing hypocrite, a traitor; and fucking weird.


South Carolina’s Supreme Court has approved of death by firing squad. And the Governor, Henry McMaster McDisaster, weighed in on the ruling:

“The Supreme Court has rightfully upheld the rule of law. This decision is another step in ensuring that lawful sentences can be duly enforced and the families and loved ones of the victims receive the closure and justice they have long awaited.”

The state’s highest court upheld the firing squad, electric chair and lethal injection as methods of execution because, in South Carolina, it’s still 1920.


The Felon asked when Kamala “turned Black.”

That’s all; that’s enough.

The man is a racist; those who stand up for him are racists. He’s told us he’ll be a dictator on Day One; he’s told us he’ll punish all his enemies; his people, 144 of them, created Project 2025 so even when he says he knows nothing about it, he’s lying.

He cannot be allowed in the Oval Office ever again … not even as a tourist.

I Didn't Say It ...

Jimmy Kimmel, in one of his opening monologues this week:

“The Great White Supremacist has until Monday to come up with a $464 million bond, or the state may seize and sell his property. [Thing 45] said nobody has ever heard of anything like this before. [Thing 45]  needs cash and—we never heard of most of the crazy stuff he did before—I mean, nobody ever heard of the president changing the weather with a Sharpie before either. Something tells me over the weekend, [Thing 45]’s going to start talking about how strong Vladimir Putin is, and suddenly a dump truck full of rubles will pull up and cover this for him. But of course the real loser here is Melania. She may end up with half of the nothing he owns now. I hope she got an advance on that prenup, because if you think she hates him now, wait until he’s poor. [Thing 45] yesterday asked the Supreme Court to grant him absolute immunity in the case related to the events of January 6th, and he also wants immunity from chlamydia, just in case, you know. But his argument is that the threat of future imprisonment, not for him, it would prevent the president from doing potentially illegal things, which I think is the point of prison in the first place. But if [Thing 45] wants immunity, he should drink bleach like he told us to do when we wanted immunity.”

Aaaaaaand scene!

Alina Habba, Thing 45’s trick, er, lawyer, on a QAnon podcast saying “the real insurrection” was against Thing 45:

“There have been people that have testified in front of Congress that have said that there were FBI assets put on the ground on January 6. I know that my client said, ‘Go peacefully and patriotically.’ I’m not sure how, when you add those two things up, that means there was an insurrection started by [Thing 45]. It sounds to me like there was a planned political movement, and it wasn’t by Republicans. And if you look at the footage that has come out where they try and make it sound horrific but you see people being guided with security, I mean—and I wasn’t there; I’m not—I wasn’t part of the administration, but I can tell you what I see on TV. I can tell you what I hear when people are testifying, and none of that amounts to this. They use these words, ‘fraud’ and ‘insurrectionist’—anything that they can—disgusting phrases about women and his treatment towards women that are just not true and have no factual basis. And I see it over and over again.”

Alina, honey, he’s never going to pay you and he’s never going to marry you; he may grab you by the pussy because, no matter how many times you say he didn’t say that, he did say it, and he did do it.

See you at Starbucks when this is all over and  try to get my order right.

Lev Parnas, former associate of Drunkle Rudy Giuliani, this week’s Hunter Biden hearing, tearing the GOP to shreds:

“The American people have been lied to, by [Thing 45], Rudy Giuliani, and various co-hosts of individuals in government and media positions. They created falsehoods to serve their own interests knowing it would undermine the strength of our nation. The only information ever pushed on the Bidens and Ukraine has come from one source and one source only: Russia and Russian agents predicated on false information spread by the Kremlin. Every person integral to this shadow diplomacy knew that the Biden corruption rumors were baseless. Then-Congressman Devin Nunes, Senator Ron Johnson, and many other individuals understood that they were pushing a false narrative. The same goes for John Solomon, Sean Hannity, and media personnel, particularly at Fox News, who used that narrative to manipulate the public ahead of the 2020 election. They are still doing this today, as we approach the 2024 election.”

Ash yourselves a simple question: do you trust Putin and Russia, and if you don’t, and you shouldn’t, ask yourselves why the GOP trusts them so much.

Criminals, all.

Michael Knowles, conservative political commentator, on his podcast squawking about same-sex marriage:

“Whether we reverse the Obergefell decision or not, gay marriage has not been legal for 10 years. Gay marriage doesn’t exist because it’s not possible. It’s no knock—I got a lot of friends who are a little light in the loafers. You know, I went to a very gay university and I’m from New York and I lived in LA. So this has nothing to do with, you know, the icky gays or whatever. It’s just not possible. It’s just not what marriage is. As we just discussed, sexual difference, complementarity is part of the very definition of marriage. And that derives, not from some thought in that guy’s head, but from nature. So, yeah, we can pass a court decision or whatever, it’s not gonna change the—whatever word you wanna use for it—the union that creates and educates children and mutually supports the spouses. That’s just gonna be what it is.”

Clearly this wingnut—and let me make this perfectly queer: he has no gay friends because no open and proud gay man or women would have a friend like this—hasn’t seen the facts, or read a newspaper, or even spoken to anyone whose brain fires on more than one cylinder.

Same-sex marriage is here to stay, and marriage is not just to produce children, but a commitment between two people to the world, gay or straight. If marriage was only about children then straight couples who choose not to procreate, or couples who cannot procreate, would not have the right to marriage.

Michael Knowles, who seems like a self-loathing, closeted gay man who loves to brag about the gay places he’s been and the gay schools he went to and the gay friends he has, is still living in the last century.

Joan Jett, blasting MAGAt has-been Ted Nugent after he blew a gasket because Rolling Stone put her on its list of “100 Greatest Guitarists”:

“Neither should he. Is that his implication, that he should be on the list instead of me? Well, that’s just typical—it’s what I’ve dealt with my whole life, being written off. Ted Nugent has to live with being Ted Nugent. He has to be in that body, so that’s punishment enough He’s not a tough guy. He plays tough guy, but this is the guy who sh*t his pants—literally—so he didn’t have to go in the Army. So this is the tough guy who’s running around America, stirring things up against each other.”

Nugent is a talentless misogynistic pig and Joan Jett is a rock icon with zero fucks to give.

That’s all.

I Didn't Say It

Nikki Haley, continuing to step in it even as she’s trying to step out of it:

“I should have said slavery right off the bat, but if you grow up in South Carolina, literally in second and third grade you learn about slavery. You grow up and you have—you know, I had Black friends growing up. It is a very talked about thing. We have a big history in South Carolina when it comes to, you know, slavery, when it comes to all the things that happened with the Civil War, all that. I was over—I was thinking past slavery and talking about the lesson that we would learn going forward. I shouldn’t have done that. I should have said slavery. But in my mind, that’s a given, that everybody associates the Civil War with slavery. We were the only Indian family in a small, rural southern town. We weren’t White enough to be White, we weren’t Black enough to be Black. They didn’t know who we were, what we were, or why we were there. It was not just slavery that was talked about, it was more about racism that was talked about. It was more about, you know, we had friends, we had Black friends, we had White friends, but it was always a topic of conversation, even among our friends, and in the south, we’re very comfortable talking about it because we know that’s what it is.”

Dear God, this woman just digs deeper into the feces every time she speaks …

“You grow up and you have—you know, I had Black friends growing up.”

Yes, I am not racist and I don’t say ignorant things because I had Black friends growing up.

“I was over—I was thinking past slavery and talking about the lesson that we would learn going forward.”

Oh, Nikki, so good that you can get past thinking about slavery while millions of people of color are reminded of that every single fucking day with the way they are treated in this country still.

“We had Black friends, we had White friends, but it was always a topic of conversation, even among our friends, and in the south, we’re very comfortable talking about it because we know that’s what it is.”

If you’re so comfortable why are you still trying to fix your mistake? And if you know what ‘it’ is—and by the way it’s racism and bigotry and ignorance—you could say it.

Fucking moron. You are so transparent.

Mike Johnson, self-professed God’s favorite Christian Nationalist Speaker of the House, on President Biden’s proposed $14 billion package to fund border security:

 “That won’t help. That won’t do a darn thing. It’s about changing the policy. The White House seems not to understand that.”

Huh. No money to try and solve the problem, but Mike will bitch and moan and kvetch about the border and then take a group of Republicans to the border on the taxpayer dime for a publicity stunt.

It almost sounds like faux-Christian Mike Johnson doesn’t care about border security unless he can use it as a weapon to attack the president.

Michael Knowles, Daily Wire host, saying … oh who knows WTF he is saying:

“Mickey Mouse has to become a Nazi … because Disney is a very, very evil corporation that wants to trans your kids and fill their heads with all sorts of crazy ideas, and Disney’s gotta go … You heard all the Disney executives talking about their not-so-secret LGBTLMNOP agenda. You’ve seen what Disney has done in recent years, so much so that the governor of Florida had to take political action against them to stop Disney from trying to interfere in the democratic process in Florida to stop the libs from transing your kids. OK? Remember what they did to that cartoon frog? There was this cartoon frog that a regular cartoonist had made … and then these guys on 4chan turned the frog into a Nazi … And we can do the same with Mickey Mouse. It’s not just enough to make Mickey Mouse a serial killer as you’re seeing in these movies. Mickey Mouse has to become the most odious kind of symbol in the entire world.”

Sorry, asshat, the most odious symbol in the entire world is the loons of the GOP and the MAGAt cult and people who think you can “trans” children..

photo

Adam Kinzinger, former GOP Representative, on the Cult and their Leader:

“The whining, weak, brittle, fragile, delicate. Feeble, puny victim mentality of the MAGA movement is one of the most transparently sad, snowflakey and pitiful movements really in American history. The incessant whining followed by the usual deflection of some harsh attack that reasonable adults would eschew has really reached a boiling point in my tolerance of typical and normal political dialogue. The MAGA movement has become an infectious disease of helplessness and victimhood unlike any I can remember. [Thing 45] himself is a master victim, suing everyone, yelling loudly about how he is a poor victim of the ‘deep state.’ Rinos, DOJ, FBI. China, Germany, Mars, the Sun and any other possible force of nature. But his victim mentality has spread to the GOP at large, and it’s the most annoying and destructive force in the nation. Seriously, ihis infection has destroyed the GOP.”

Good, I say, good. When you align with traitors and criminals and thieves you get what you deserve.

I wait for the day when Thing 45 is just a blemish on America; s ass and those sycophants in the GOP try to redeem themselves.

Not happening, asshats.

photo

Jerry Carl, Alabama’s GOP Representative, on the move in several states to take Thing 45 off the ballot for inciting an insurrection:

“I’ve just come to the conclusion this is the new COVID for 2024. In 2020, they had us locked down. We couldn’t get out and vote. We could do all this absentee voting. Everything was built around fear. So now the new fear and what the Democrat Party is trying to do here is to tear Trump down and say he’s unqualified to run for this office. That is not their job to determine that—that’s we, the voters. No one has the right to be taken off a ballot because a secretary of state or someone in a position thinks they can do it. It just doesn’t work that way. So we’ve got to push back. We’ve got to be united, Republicans and Democrats, on this issue. If not, you’re going to start seeing Biden taken off tickets in Republican states. And where I’m from, two wrongs don’t make a right. So, I’m not proposing that we do that at all. If anything, let’s deal with what we’ve got right now.”

Um, Jerry? Asshat? Biden didn’t incite an insurrection or try to overturn a free and fair election so removing him from a ballot is just sour grapes from the GOP whiny bitches.

Of note, last week Carl claimed to have paid $5.72 for two apples at a Washington DC grocery store but never mentioned the store or showed a receipt.  Also, Carl was first elected in November 2020 and his first official act was to vote against certifying Biden’s win; in 2021 he signed a demand for Biden to take a cognitive test.

photo

Jen Psaki, MSNBC host, on Mike Johnson’s involvement with The Big Lie:

“I would love to know what passage in the Bible told Speaker Mike Johnson to become one of the most important architects behind [Thing 45’s] effort to overturn the 2020 election. Was it God whispering in his ear to ignore the Constitution?”

Well, clearly it was god—again, little g—because Mike believes god put him in power because Mike is, um, insane?

I Didn't Say It

RuPaul, finally speaking out, offhandedly, about the assault from the right on drag queens:

“Hey, look over there! A classic distraction technique, distracting us away from the real issues that they were voted into office to focus on: jobs, healthcare, keeping our children safe from harm at their own school. But we know that bullies are incompetent at solving real issues. They look for easy targets so they can give the impression of being effective. They think our love, our light, our laughter and our joy are signs of weakness. But they’re wrong because that is our strength. Drag queens are the Marines of the queer movement. Don’t get it twisted and don’t be distracted. Register to vote so we can get these stunt queens out of office and put some smart people with real solutions into government. And by the way, a social media post has never been as powerful as a registered vote.”

And along with a vote, Ru, we need people in positions of power, people with a fan base of sorts, to speak up and out and loudly.

D.L. Hughley, responding to the haters who don’t like Chris Rock talking Will and Jada in his new comedy special:

“If you love comedy, if you are a student of the art, if you are one of the few remaining people that allow for creative expression, then you walked away from this with the same sentiment. Side note … That happened to HIM, to CHRIS … and the ENTIRE WORLD got to weigh in and talk trash and make jokes and ‘shoulda, woulda, coulda’ the whole damn thing to death. OTHER COMEDIANS have bits about it, it was an opener for most of us. The ONE PERSON YOU NEVER HEARD FROM ABOUT IT WAS CHRIS!! So NOW, that HE decides to address it on HIS TIME, people have the audacity to say: ‘he’s bitter … Why is he still talking about that … let it go … or the best one WE’VE MOVED ON.’ So YOU got to speak on it but he can’t??? Y’all are a straight f*ckin trip.”

I rarely agree with Hughley but this time he was spot on; we heard from the entire world and from Will and Jada and their demon spawn, while the only one not talking was Rock. Now he has, and, for me, it was brilliant.

Tucker Carlson, the man who was caught on tape saying he doesn’t like Thing 45, trying to rewrite Insurrectionist History this week, proving yet again what most of us know: Fox Lies:

“Taken as a whole, the video record does not support the claim that January 6 was an insurrection. In fact, it demolishes that claim. And that’s exactly why the Democratic Party and its allies in the media prevented you from seeing it. By controlling the images you are allowed to view from January 6, they controlled how the public understood that day. They could lie about what happened and you would never know the difference. Those lies had a purpose. They created a pretext for a federal crackdown on opponents of the uniparty in Washington. The crowd was enormous. A small percentage of them were hooligans. They committed vandalism. You’ve seen their pictures again and again. But the overwhelming majority weren’t. They were peaceful. They were orderly and meek. These were not insurrectionists. They were sightseers.”

Sightseers don’t break into buildings, vandalize it, kill people, shit on the walls and ransack offices, Fucker. But let’s try this: let’s have “sightseers” head to Carlson’s house and break in and wipe their feces on his walls and steal his stuff and see how that little lying bitch complains and moans.

In addition, Fucker Carlson and his ilk at Fox “News” should be held responsible for 1/6/2022 because they knowingly lied about the election and spurred those ignorant MAGAt’s on.

Matt Walsh, Daily Wire host, saying that having a trans child is “a fate worse than death”:

“I hear from parents all the time, just these horror stories of, you know, I raised my kid, I did everything right. I even homeschooled. I did, whatever. And then one day my daughter at 16 comes home and declares that she’s a boy. And from that moment, it’s just she is devoured by this cult almost overnight and becomes unrecognizable. She wants nothing to do with us anymore. I’ve heard the story so many times and it’s terrifying. It’s horrific. You know, it’s—I think as a parent, it’s like a fate worse than death in a lot of ways. You’re losing your child. It’s like a death of a child while they’re still alive and—so that’s what makes it, I suppose, personal for me.”

He hears from parents ALL the time and yet doesn’t produce one parent to corroborate his story? It would be a fate worse than death to have Matt Walsh, ignorant, lying, transphobic bigot as your parent.

photo

Michael Knowles, another host on The Daily Wire, speaking at CPAC about what to do with transgender people:

“The problem with transgenderism is not that it’s inappropriate for children under the age of 9. The problem with transgenderism is that it isn’t true. If [transgenderism] is false, then for the good of society… transgenderism must be eradicated from public life entirely.”

How very Hitler of him. But keep in mind, he’s preaching to the GOP choir, which means we all need to vote, and get the hate out of Congress.

photo

Steven Spielberg, on the of Anti-Semitism in the world today:

“I find it very, very surprising. Anti-Semitism has always been there, it’s either been just around the corner and slightly out of sight but always lurking, or it has been much more overt like in Germany in the ’30s. But not since Germany in the ‘30s have I witnessed Anti-Semitism no longer lurking, but standing proud with hands on hips like Hitler and Mussolini, kind of daring us to defy it. I’ve never experienced this in my entire life, especially in this country. Somehow, the marginalizing of people that aren’t part of some kind of a majority race is something that has been creeping up on us for years and years and years. Hate became a kind of membership to a club that has gotten more members than I ever thought was possible in America. And hate and antisemitism go hand in hand, you can’t separate one from the other. I think [Anne Frank was] right when she said that most people are good. And I think essentially at our core, there is goodness and there is empathy.”

Still, another quote springs to mind, attributed to many people, including Simon Wiesenthal:

“All it takes for evil to flourish, is for good men to do nothing.”

Stand up against the hate … the anti-Semites, the anti-drag queens, the anti-LGBTQ+, the anti-books, the anti-history, the anti-women …
