I Didn't Say It ...

Michelangelo Signorile, on the GOP’s attempted coup:

“The Republicans who are backing this attempt truly believe in _____ism, in authoritarian rule and in subverting democracy if they don’t win elections. Or they are ambitious enough to promote such a fascistic action—which, in the end, is not any different than being a true believer. They’re attempting a coup, and practice makes perfect even if it fails this time. We’re not going to beat them back unless we start calling this attempted overthrow of our government exactly what it is.”

All the more reason to remember who started this, who joined in, and vote them all the hell out of office.

Mitt Romney, GOP Senator, on _____ inciting the riot at the Capitol this week, and those lawmakers challenging the 2020 election results:

"We gather today due to a selfish man’s injured pride and the outrage of his supporters whom he has deliberately misinformed for the past two months and stirred to action this very morning. What happened here today was an insurrection, incited by the President of the United States. Those who choose to continue to support his dangerous gambit by objecting to the results of a legitimate, democratic election will forever be seen as being complicit in an unprecedented attack against our democracy. They will be remembered for their role in this shameful episode in American history. That will be their legacy. The objectors [Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley] have claimed they are doing so on behalf of the voters. Have an audit, they say, to satisfy the many people who believe that the election was stolen. Please! No Congressional led audit will ever convince those voters, particularly when the President will continue to claim that the election was stolen. The best way we can show respect for the voters who are upset is by telling them the truth. That is the burden, and the duty, of leadership. The truth is that President-elect Biden won this election. President _____ lost. Scores of courts, the President’s own Attorney General, and state election officials both Republican and Democrat have reached this unequivocal decision."

Let’s be clear, Mittsy is probably planning to run for president again as the New GOP, AKA GOP2.0, but he does get props for calling out the co-conspirators.

Derrick Evans, the newly elected ReTHUGlican terrorist member of the West Virginia House of Delegates, who was among the insurgents:

“We’re in! We’re in! We’re in! We’re in! Derrick Evans is in the Capitol!”

Congratulations West Virginia. You elected a domestic terrorist to office. You’ve placed a traitor to this country in power.

Reap what you sow.

Ilhan Omar, Democratic Representatives from Minnesota, often the subject of ______ and MAGAt racism, after the riots:

“I am drawing up Articles of Impeachment. Donald J. Trump should be impeached by the House of Representatives & removed from office by the United States Senate. We can’t allow him to remain in office, it’s a matter of preserving our Republic and we need to fulfill our oath.”

Sounds nice, but that will take too long.

Demand the Cabinet involve the 25^th Amendment and remove him now.

Ed Markey, Democratic Congressman from Massachusetts, placing blame where it belongs:

“Donald _____ is responsible for today's coup at the Capitol and the attack on our government and democracy. He is a direct threat to our country. He needs to be impeached, removed from office, and barred from ever holding office again.”

Again … get his Cabinet to take this rabid dog down.

Chuck Schumer, Democratic Senator from New York, and current Senate Minority Leader, after the terror attack:

“It is very, very difficult to put into words what has transpired today. I have never lived through or even imagined an experience like the one we have just witnessed in this Capitol. President Franklin Roosevelt set aside Dec. 7, 1941, as a day that will live in infamy. Unfortunately, we can now add Jan. 6, 2021, to that very short list of dates in American history that will live forever in infamy.

This temple to democracy was desecrated, its windows smashed, our offices vandalized. … The House and Senate floors were places of shelter until the evacuation was ordered, leaving rioters to stalk these hallowed halls. Lawmakers and our staffs, Average citizens who love their country, serve it every day, feared for their lives. I understand that one woman was shot and tragically lost her life. We mourn her and feel for her friends and family.

These images were projected for the world. Foreign embassies cabled their home capitals to report the harrowing scenes at the very heart of our democracy. This will be a stain on our country not so easily washed away – the final, terrible, indelible legacy of the 45th president of the United States, undoubtedly our worst.

I want to be very clear: Those who performed these reprehensible acts cannot be called protesters—no,  these were rioters and insurrectionists, goons and thugs, domestic terrorists. They do not represent America. They were a few thousand violent extremists who tried to take over the Capitol building and attack our democracy. They must and should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law—hopefully by this administration, if not certainly by the next. They should be provided no leniency.

….

But make no mistake, make no mistake, my friends, today's events did not happen spontaneously. The president, who promoted conspiracy theories and motivated these thugs, the president who exhorted them to come to our nation's capital, egged them on—he hardly ever discourages violence and more often encourages it—this president bears a great deal of the blame. This mob was in good part President _____'s doing, incited by his words, his lies. This violence, in good part his responsibility, his ever-lasting shame. Today's events certainly—certainly—would not have happened without him. Now, Jan. 6 will go down as one of the darkest days in recent American history.

A final warning to our nation about the consequences of a demagogic president, the president who enable him, the captive media that parrots his lies and the people who follow him as he attempts to push America to the brink of ruin. As we reconvene tonight, let us remember, in the end all this mob has really accomplished is to delay our work by a few hours. We will resume our responsibilities now, and we will finish our task tonight. The House and Senate chambers will be restored good as new and ready for legislating in short order. The counting of the electoral votes is our sacred duty.

Democracy's roots in this nation are deep, they are strong. They will not be undone ever by a group of thugs. Democracy will triumph, as it has for centuries. So, to my fellow Americans who are shocked and appalled by the images on their televisions today and who are worried about the future of this country, let me speak to you directly: The divisions in our country clearly run deep, but we are a resilient, forward-looking and optimistic people, and we will begin the hard work of repairing this nation tonight because here in America we do hard things. In America, we always overcome our challenges.”

And now … something good because I need a smile:

Raphael Warnock, speaking about his mother, and his historic win in Georgia:

"The other day, because this is America, the 82-year-old hands that used to pick somebody else's cotton went to the polls and picked her youngest son to be a United States senator."

This is America, as it should be.

Now, I need a minute. I’ve got something in my eye.

I Didn't Say It ...

Colin Powell, former Secretary of State, told CNN’s Jake Tapper he was voting Biden in November:

“[_____] lies. He lies about things, and he gets away with it because people will not hold him accountable. … We’re not a country of just a president. I think what we’re seeing now, those massive protest movements I have ever seen in my life, I think this suggests that the country is getting wise to this and we’re not going to put up with it anymore. … I’m very close to Joe Biden in a social manner and political manner. I’ve worked with him for 35, 40 years, and he is now the candidate and I will be voting for him.”

While Colin Powell has had his own fights with the truth back in the day—WMD anyone—I do like to see people speaking out about the lack of true leadership in this country.

Bernard Kerik, former NYPD Commissioner, pardoned by _____ earlier this year after conviction on eight felony charges, says police brutality is fine with him and no reforms are needed except for the black community:

“When you watch these videos, listen, when a police officer tells you to move when there is a curfew, you move. When a police officer told you to back up, you back up. You’re not supposed to stick your finger in his face. You’re not supposed to touch him or throw something on it. They’ve been bombarded with bricks, rocks, Mollin powotov cocktails, sticks, you name it and you know what at some point in time, you’re going to push the wrong cop and he’s going to push back. In this case, that is what happened. Everything is about reforming the police. How about reforming the community? How about teaching young black men and women, in these communities of color, things like don’t run from the police when you get stopped. Keep your hands on the steering wheel when you get stopped in a car stop. Don’t make furtive moments, don’t put your hands in your pockets, don’t poke the police in the eye when he stops you, don’t assault the police, don’t resist. These are simple, simple things that could be taught in driving school when you’re teaching kids how to get their license.”

Um, you racist fuckmonkey, black people didn’t just start running from police for no reason; it started after years and years AND YEARS of being targeted by police, brutalized by police, arrested for simply walking while black by the police. If the police do better, the communities do better; if the police become visible positive influences in our communities, then no one will feel the need to run …for their lives.

Michelangelo Signorile, SiriusXM radio host, LGBTQ activist and author, on the new round of speculation that Lindsey Graham is gay, using Aaron Schock as an example for outing Graham:

“[Aaron Schock is] the perfect example of a man who was deceiving the public in so many ways … The closet, for powerful politicians, becomes a sort of practice run at the art of deception on a grander scale. And when you will sell out your own kind, there’s really no telling how low you will go. Had journalists at mainstream outlets with vast resources, legal teams and researchers, been pursuing Schock for the hypocrisy of his anti-LGBTQ votes—and revealed that he was gay, with clear-cut evidence—it wouldn’t only have likely stopped an anti-gay hypocrite, it would likely have brought down a man who was spending campaign and taxpayer dollars to live in grand style and luxuriously travel around the world. … Some queer people don’t realize this isn’t about indiscriminately ‘outing’ the average person, the private citizens just trying to live their own lives. It’s actually about protecting them from the corruption of those who are public figures—people who go into public life knowing their lives will be open for discussion—who want to deceive people to benefit themselves and their benefactors. Senator Lindsey Graham has promoted a horrendously anti-LGBTQ agenda and now is one of the strongest defenders of a president who is the most anti-LGBTQ president in history, rolling back rights that have been won. Editors and reporters should be investigating Graham’s hypocrisy the way they investigate public figures’ hypocrisy all the time—and that means following up on reports about his sexual orientation.”

People should be allowed to come when they choose, if they choose, BUT when closted gay politicians use their power to do harm to the LGBTQ community in an effort to hide their own orientation, then all bets are off.

So, come on out, Lady G, before you’re dragged out.

And then dragged.

Mike Huckabee, presidential wannabe and rightwingnut, on the idea that some Republicans will not support _____

:
“If you have people who were nominated, and in the case of President Bush actually elected to be president by Republicans and they will no longer support the Republican nominee who went through the process and got elected, then I’m going to be not just unhappy, I’m going to be livid. And some of them say, ‘But I don’t like his personality.’ Well, get over it. This is not about electing a personality. This isn’t Hollywood. This is the rough, tumble world of politics. And maybe he’s not as genteel as some of us would like. But, by gosh, he’s getting the job done, and it’s time Republicans rally because if they don’t, they’re going to get Joe Biden, who isn’t pro-life, who is for higher taxes, open borders, he’s going to succumb to China. Everything that we find disgusting he’s going to embrace it, including the socialists out here.”

Hey Mike, you pandering fuckmonkey. _____ is a racist who uses the Bible as a prop and you, an ALLEGED Christian, are fine with that.

What you’re livid about, Blanche, is the idea that if Biden gets in the wingnuts won’t control the courts and women’s right to make their own healthcare decisions will stay put.

But, you do you, support and vote for a racist as long as it keeps the Pro-choice movement down.

God will love you for that.

John Oliver, Last Week Tonight, on defunding police departments:

“The police have not just been incidentally tainted by racism. For much of U.S. history, law enforcement meant enforcing laws that were explicitly designed to subjugate black people. … All week long, protesters have continued to fill the streets in all 50 states in the wake of the horrific murder of George Floyd by the police. And in response to those protests, which have been a stirring pushback against institutional racism and brutality, it’s been frankly sickening to see them met with this. As for the president himself, he initially hid from the protesters in a bunker, later claiming he wasn’t hiding, he was just ‘inspecting’ it. Then, his attorney general had police gas protesters outside the White House so that _____ could have an inexplicable photo op at a nearby church while holding up a Bible like it’s the ticket for his sandwich order that was just called. He also, in announcing jobs numbers on Friday, invoked George Floyd’s name, saying, ‘This is a great day for him,’ which is utterly f**king disgusting. [Defunding police doesn’t mean all police would be eliminated] It means moving away from a narrow conception of public safety that relies on policing and punishment and investing in a community’s actual safety—things like stable housing, mental health services and community organizations. The concept is that the role of the police can then significantly shrink because they are not responding to the homeless or to mental health calls or arresting children in schools or really any other situation where they best solution is not someone showing up with a gun—that’s the idea of defunding the police.”

Defund doesn’t mean end the police force, it means take ack some of their massive budgets and use it in the communities they serve to help our citizens of color climb out of poverty, mental health issues, drug problems. If the communities have help, then you don’t need riot gear and tanks and tear gas.

Help those communities and help everyone.

Daniel Radcliffe, actor, speaking out against transphobic statements made by Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling:

“Transgender women are women. Any statement to the contrary erases the identity and dignity of transgender people and goes against all advice given by professional health care associations who have far more expertise on this subject matter than either Jo or I. According to The Trevor Project, 78% of transgender and nonbinary youth reported being the subject of discrimination due to their gender identity. It’s clear that we need to do more to support transgender and nonbinary people, not invalidate their identities, and not cause further harm. I realize that certain press outlets will probably want to paint this as in-fighting between J.K. Rowling and myself, but that is really not what this is about, nor is it what’s important right now. While Jo is unquestionably responsible for the course my life has taken, as someone who has been honored to work with and continues to contribute to The Trevor Project for the last decade, and just as a human being, I feel compelled to say something at this moment: to all the people who now feel that their experience of the books has been tarnished or diminished, I am deeply sorry for the pain these comments have caused you. I really hope that you don’t entirely lose what was valuable in these stories to you. If these books taught you that love is the strongest force in the universe, capable of overcoming anything; if they taught you that strength is found in diversity, and that dogmatic ideas of pureness lead to the oppression of vulnerable groups; if you believe that a particular character is trans, nonbinary, or gender fluid, or that they are gay or bisexual; if you found anything in these stories that resonated with you and helped you at any time in your life — then that is between you and the book that you read, and it is sacred. And in my opinion nobody can touch that. It means to you what it means to you and I hope that these comments will not taint that too much.”

Bravo, Daniel.

Rowling is under fire for recent Tweets suggesting that if you don’t menstruate, you aren’t a woman. She also said:

“The idea that women like me, who’ve been empathetic to trans people for decades, feeling kinship because they’re vulnerable in the same way as women—ie, to male violence—‘hate’ trans people because they think sex is real and has lived consequences—is a nonsense.”

‘In the same way as women’? They are women, you tool. She supports trans people would march with trans people but thinks trans women are not women.

Ass.

Tucker Carlson, Fox News, spreading racism and hate and fear:

“This may be a lot of things, this moment we’re living through, but it is definitely not about black lives. And remember that when they come for you and at this rate, they will. Anyone who has ever been subjected to the rage of the mob knows the feeling. It’s like being swarmed by hornets. You cannot think clearly. And the temptation is to panic. But you can’t panic. You got to keep your head and tell the truth. Tell the truth. If you show weakness of any kind, they will crush you.”

There you have it: black people are coming for white people in mobs.

Racist Tucker fucker.

Eddie Redmayne, actor who starred in the film adaptation of JK Rowling’s Fantastic Beasts franchise and played trans pioneer Lili Elbe in The Danish Girl, on Rowling’s transphobic tweets:

“Respect for transgender people remains a cultural imperative, and over the years I have been trying to constantly educate myself. This is an ongoing process. As someone who has worked with both J.K. Rowling and members of the trans community, I wanted to make it absolutely clear where I stand: I disagree with Jo’s comments. Trans women are women, trans men are men and non-binary identities are valid. I would never want to speak on behalf of the community but I do know that my dear transgender friends and colleagues are tired of this constant questioning of their identities, which all too often results in violence and abuse. They simply want to live their lives peacefully, and it’s time to let them do so.”

It’s the simplest thing: treat people with respect, because you’d like the same in return.

General Mark Milley, the nation’s top military officer, on going with ____ to that church where he was photographed in his combat uniform:

“I should not have been there. My presence in that moment and in that environment created a perception of the military involved in domestic politics. As a commissioned uniformed officer, it was a mistake that I have learned from.”

Good on you now, but you really should have seen through that charade from the jump.

Milley also repeated his opposition to _____’s call for federal troops to be deployed nationwide to quell protests.

Stephen Colbert, on _____’s advice not to believe what you read or hear:

“Our president says don’t believe what you see and read. “Oh good. Wooo, I was worried because what I’m seeing and reading is that the President is a racist, horny old burger-goblin who literally steals children from poor people.”

Guffaw! And _____ is so stupid because what about what he says and Tweets? Is he telling the Deplorables not to believe that?

Michelangelo Signorile, warning that the religious wingnuts are trying to criminalize gay sex again:

“The reality of that may sound crazy and horrifying, but just a year and a half ago, many things sounded crazy and horrifying. The U.S. is separating children from their parents at the border—and dragging its feet on reuniting them, even under court order—and the president of the United States publicly sided with a longtime adversary over American intelligence, which he continues to attack. And it appears Roe v. Wade will be overturned. So anything can happen.”

I’m not sure I agree entirely. I think the right will try to shove us back into a closet, but too many of us are out, and married, and voting, and we have more allies on our side than we know.

It might be a battle, but I don’t think it’s a battle we’ll lose.

Nikki Haley, to young conservatives:

 “I know that [name-calling and belittling liberals is] fun and that it can feel good, but step back and think about what you’re accomplishing when you do this—are you persuading anyone? Who are you persuading? We’ve all been guilty of it at some point or another, but this kind of speech isn’t leadership—it’s the exact opposite. Real leadership is about persuasion, it’s about movement, it’s bringing people around to your point of view. Not by shouting them down, but by showing them how it is in their best interest to see things the way you do.”

Sounds like she’s talking to her boss, no?

Ryan Reynolds, ton how he’d like to see Deadpool and his alter-ego Wade Wilson explore his pansexuality:

“I certainly think that this universe…needs to represent and reflect the world in very real ways. The great thing about Deadpool is that we’re allowed to do things that other superhero movies don’t necessarily do. It’s something that I’d love to see more of, certainly through Wade, certainly through this universe because it’s something that we’re building out more.”

Um, yeah, I’d love to see Ryan Reynolds in a little man love kinda thing, and if he feels the need for some rehearsal, well, call me.

Seth Meyers, on _____’s obsession with being secretly recorded by Putin, the FBI, Obama, and now Cohen:

“The president is facing an intense political backlash over his press conference last week with Vladimir Putin, his administration still has thousands of migrant children jailed and separated from their parents, and his personal fixer, Michael Cohen, might be cooperating with federal investigators. So naturally, _____ has decided the appropriate response is to threaten a war with Iran. Wow, you can take the crazy old man out of Queens, but you can’t stop him from yelling at foreigners. Also, you don’t get to say “BE CAUTIOUS” when you’re tweeting in all-caps. [But] _____’s obsession with being secretly taped is not new. It’s something he’s been fixated on throughout his presidency. Like when he falsely accused President Obama of having his wires tapped, or when he tweeted that James Comey better hope there are no tapes of our conversation. It’s almost like he got secretly taped at some point, and waiting for that tape to come out is slowly driving him insane. And he tries not to think about that tape, but for whatever reason every time he pees he can’t get it out of his mind. Even Trump’s explanations for his bizarre comments about secret tapes are themselves incriminating like when he was asked about his Comey tweet, and rambled like he was under police interrogation. So _____ is obsessed with being secretly taped, but it turns out that it wasn’t Russia or the FBI he should be worried about, it was his own lawyer. Everyone from his past is coming back to haunt him. If he ever goes on trial, it’s going to look like the Seinfeld finale, but instead of the Soup Nazi, there will be actual Nazis.”

That last bit slayed me. Actual Nazis! It’s funny, cuz it’s true.

Eric Swalwell, Democrat from California, on _____’s relationship with his Daddy, Vladdy:

“He attacked our country. Most Americans, when their homes get broken into they upgrade their security system, they don’t invite the burglar over for dinner. And the president shouldn’t let Vladimir Putin in the Rose Garden for a victory lap.”

But Vlad has the goods on _____ and so he’ll have to do what he’s told.

Star Parker, rightwingnut activist, bashing the LGBTQ community on Christian radio because, you know, God Hates Fags:

“They keep pushing out this idea, LGBTQ. We did the ‘L’ and the ‘G,’ they legalized marriage for themselves. We doing the ‘T’ now, the trans and this is a big, big challenge in our society right now. They did the ‘Q’ where they’re changing all the textbooks, even as low as kindergarten, to reflect that you don’t know what you are, you’re questioning. But notice they skipped over the ‘B,’ and there are some that say this ‘B’ is going to bombard us with real vileness in our society if they get what they want because it’s not about bisexuality, it’s about bestiality.”

First off, you dim bulb, we did not legalize same-sex marriage, that was the Supreme Court. Get your facts queer.

And your god … little g … must be so proud of you for your idiotic bestiality comment. You think you’re cute and funny and all that. But you’re not. You’re a sad pathetic angry little person who wouldn’t know God if She walked up to you and introduced Herself.

Derek Chadwick, an Instagram “influencer’—whatever that means—has come out as gay:

“I would identify now as gay … I’ve been nervous about people seeing my personality because I didn’t want them to jump to conclusions about me without knowing my whole story. It’ll allow me to be more personable on social media. I’ll be able to post more on my stories and videos on Twitter… it’ll allow me to stand up on the stage in front of the LGBTQ community and not feel so pressured about, ‘Oh my God, I wonder they think of me’, or, ‘I wonder what they’ll think of me’. If I can just inspire one person, whoever that is, to be their true self or do something they were scared to do or didn’t feel 100% confident in, that would be the most rewarding part of all this … Being honest and being who you are is always the best way to live.”

Christine Todd Whitman, former GOP NJ governor, calling fellow Republicans to  demand _____’s resignation:

“I am a lifelong Republican. I have campaigned and won as a member of the party, and I have served more than one Republican president. My Republican colleagues—once rightfully critical of President Obama’s engagement strategy with Russian leader Vladimir Putin—have to end their willful ignorance of the damage Trump is doing both domestically and internationally. We must put aside the GOP label, as hard as that may be, and demonstrate the leadership our country needs by calling on the president to step down.”

It’s telling that Republicans out of office have more balls in protecting this country than the Republicans in office.

I Didn't Say It ...

Chris Murphy, Democratic Senator from Connecticut, calling for Jared Kushner to resign:

“You don’t think the Republicans would be calling for the resignation of an Obama official who allowed the president and vice president to openly lie about a major national security issue? He watched his father-in-law on TV say no one in [his] campaign talked to the Russian government.”

But Republicans don’t care about lying when they have the White House.

Silly me, Republicans don’t care about lying; it’s what they do.

I felt like I was supposed to be wearing glasses and s—t, and tie a f—king sweater around my waist. It was like Ivy League s—t. I ain’t gon’ hold you up, Some of that s—t was like golf course music. I’mma tell you the truth: N—as hot out here. They don’t wanna hear that s—t. They just wanna have a good time. F—k that. You can’t be the best rapper at 47, because the new n—as is here.”

Sean Spicer, attacking CNN’s Jim Acosta:

“If Jim Acosta reported on Jim Acosta the way he reports on us, he’d say he hasn’t been very honest. I think he’s gone well beyond the role of reporter and steered into the role of advocate. He’s the prime example of a [reporter in a] competitive, YouTube, click-driven industry. He’s recognized that if you make a spectacle on the air then you’ll get more airtime and more clicks. . . . If I were a mainstream, veteran reporter, I’d be advocating for him to knock it off. It’s hurting the profession.”

So says a spokes-tool for a President who lives and breathes social media clicks.

Sit down, Spicey, your hypocrisy is showing.

PS Leave Hot Jim alone.

Michelangelo Signorile, on the danger of LGBTQ rights being rolled back: 

“This is a vigorous attempt at a full-scale rollback by religious conservatives who’ve been part of _____’s and the GOP’s base, and it’s already had some success. There is no denying it. Many are woke to it. But I’m afraid far too many LGBTQ people are not, still wanting to revel in victories, pointing to polls and to progress globally. The United States, however, is right now led by an authoritarian whose party―always hostile to LGBTQ rights―has so far given him free rein to engage in destructive behavior against anyone and everyone.”

I’m with Signorile. We cannot be complacent; we may have won some impressive battles, but the war is far from over.

Any time they come for one of us, they come for all of us.

Resist.

Shepard Smith, Fox News anchor, poking holes in the White House story that Junior was being transparent about his emails:

“His transparency came minutes before he had been made aware that The New York Times would be publishing the same e-mails this released ... Transparency is something that normally happens prior to learning that somebody else is about to document dump you. Normally that word wouldn’t be used in this circumstance.”

The only thing transparent about Junior is that whenever he’s speaks, he’s lying.

He lied about ever having the meeting; then he lied about the reason for the meeting; then he lied about what happened.

He lies ... like Daddy.

[photo]

Jake Tapper, on Junior’s emails:

“It’s a staggering turn of events, and it’s rather momentous. This can’t just be, this can’t be dismissed as people out to get Donald J. _____ Jr. or fake news. This is evidence of willingness to commit collusion. That’s what this is on its face. Now, maybe there’s an explanation for it, and if that’s true, we can talk about that, and we’ll report it.”

Maybe it wasn’t collusion, but it’s like someone asking you to buy stolen goods from the trunk of a car, and you go and look at the stolen goods and decide they aren’t exactly what you’re looking for.

You still tried to buy stolen goods.

Junior is guilty of attempted collusion with Russia if we believe his story but again ... he’s a liar.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders, White House Deputy Press Secretary, trying to deflect on the fact that many in the White House are tied, have tied, or were tied to Russia:

“Look, I think we’ve been extremely clear and I know that Don Jr. discussed it at length last night as well as the president’s counsel. If there’s any evidence of collusion it would be between the DNC and the Ukrainian government.”

Prove it, asshat, instead of just flapping your gums whilst wearing another ugly sweater.

Proof is what we need, and you have none.

Scott Frantz, Kansas State offensive tackle, asked to divulge a personal secret during an offseason team-building exercise used the moment to come out as gay:

“I came out to my teammates, and I’ve never felt so loved and so accepted ever in my life than when I did that. And ever since then it’s been great. I’ve grown so much closer to my teammates since. So it’s been an amazing experience.”

It’s a good thing.
