I Didn't Say It ...

Pete Buttigieg, Transportation Secretary, speaking directly to Elon Musk on X, about Elon’s disinformation lies about federal disaster aid for victims of Hurricane Helene:

“No one is shutting down the airspace and FAA doesn’t block legitimate rescue and recovery flights. If you’re encountering a problem give me a call.”

Funny, cuz Elon Musk, AKA Leon Skum, wasn’t in North Carolina, or offering any kind of aid to victims; he was sitting on his fat ass in his easy chair Tweeting on Twitter with his lies and conspiracy theories.

Sally Field, on the “hideous” and “traumatic” illegal abortion she underwent as a 17-year-old in 1964:

“It was during a time even worse than now. A time when contraception was not readily available and only if you were married. But I feel that so many women of my generation went through similar, traumatic events and I feel stronger when I think of them. I believe, like me, they must want to fight for their grandchildren and all the young women of this country … we [a doctor, his wife, and my mother] parked on a really scroungy-looking street [in Tijuana], it was scary and he parked about three blocks away and said, ‘See that building down there?’ And he gave me an envelope with cash and I was to walk into that building and give them the cash and then come right back to him … a technician giving me a few puffs of ether but he would then take it away, so it just made my arms and legs feel numb [and] weird, but I felt everything – how much pain I was in. Then the situation turned darker. I realized that the technician was actually molesting me, so I had to figure out, how can I make my arms move to push him away? So it was just this absolute pit of shame. And then, when it was finished, they said, ‘Go go go go go!,’ like the building was on fire. And they didn’t want me there, you know, it was illegal. These are the things that women are going through now—when they’re trying to get to another state, they don’t have the money, they don’t have the means, they don’t know where they’re going … and do that to our little girls and our young women, and not have respect and regard for their health and their own decisions about whether they feel they’re able to give birth to a child at that time.”

Is this what you want for women in America in 2024, because it’s what you get if The Felon, Sofa Loren and Project 2025 take over in January.

Don’t go back to those dark days; move forward.

Kamala Harris, hitting back at Arkansas GOP Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders' comments that Harris "doesn’t have anything keeping her humble" because she doesn't have children:

"I don't think she understands that there are a whole lot of women out here who, one, are not aspiring to be humble; two, [there are] a whole lot of women out here who have a lot of love in their life, family in their life and children in their life, and I think it's really important for women to lift each other up. We have our family by blood and then we have our family by love. And I have both, and I consider it to be a real blessing. They are my children. And I love those kids to death, and family comes in many forms.” 

It's sad that a woman, even one as vile as Huckleberry, would suggest that Kamala’s step-children are not her children and she’s not been a mother to them.

But Huckleberry is part of that GOP Lies Cult …

Pamela Brown, CNN anchor, on more of those GOP lies:

“I want to go through the facts here. One: It is illegal for undocumented immigrants to vote in presidential elections. Two: Congress appropriates funds with intent for specific purposes. The money allocated to DHS for helping states to house migrants is separate, completely separate from the money for disasters. No money is being stolen from disaster relief. Three: FEMA says it has enough money for disaster relief for Helene, posting this fact-check to its website. In fact, before the show, just to make sure I had all the facts right, did some digging, I spoke to a DHS official. That official says, as of this morning, $45 million from FEMA has already been used for Helene disaster relief. The concern is that people hear that money is going elsewhere, they may not even apply for relief. The official says people should know there is money available now to help.” 

Spread the facts; stop the lies. When someone offers up these GOP lies, tell them to their faces that the stories are bull shit from a bull shitter afraid he’s going to lose and end up in jail.

Olivia Troye, former Homeland Security advisor, on  The Felon’s claims that Biden and Harris are ‘politicizing’ these natural disasters:

“Let me be very clear: as a Homeland Security Advisor in [The Felon] White House, I witnessed firsthand how [The Felon] politicized disaster relief, leaving devastated Americans waiting for help. Leaders across the country and government were calling my office, desperate for action as [he] failed them in moments of crisis. Today, he’s once again failing Americans by distorting the facts and spreading lies. The Biden-Harris Administration is stepping up in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene with decisive leadership and a swift, effective response.”

He cannot do the job so he denigrates those that do; he cannot handle the job so he belittles those that can.

He’s unfit for office, so he lies about those who aren’t.

Stephen King, author, on Sofa Loren:

“JD Vance never lost that snotty little half-smile—the expression of a used car salesman who just convinced a potential buyer that the Check Engine light on the used Toyota he’s trying to get off the lot is just a computer glitch.”

Slimy; can’t tell the truth from a lie; never wants to be fact checked; can’t stand when a woman bests him; that’s JD.

Tommy Davidson, comedian, on how his mother helped him understand his trans son:

"When I first saw a man that was like a woman, it was here in New York. I saw a man that acted like a woman, and kind of looked like a woman, but kinda was a man. And I asked my mother, she gave me the perfect answer. I said, 'What is he? Is he a man, or is he a woman?' And she said, 'You know what, hon, he's kind of both.' What she did was condition me to not reject 'other.' To not reject something that wasn't like me, so in that way, it was simple. If you have that child, you raise them that gender, you're expecting what you got. And you know what those two things are, [but] if it's changed along the way, for me it's not strange, but it's natural to get used to it."

What she did was condition me not to reject other.

It’s simple; you love your child as they are, as they live, as they love. It’s not rocket science.

I Didn't Say It ...

Cindy McCain, lifelong Republican and John McCain’s widow, endorsing Joe Biden for President:

“My husband John lived by a code: country first. We are Republicans, yes, but Americans foremost. There's only one candidate in this race who stands up for our values as a nation, and that is Joe Biden. [W] what led me to this decision was like so many other people in the country I’ve been watching what’s going on and I’m deeply concerned and Joe Biden represents to me the kinds of values and integrity and courage that we want in a president. Someone who would have my back as a citizen as someone who lives in a neighborhood and has a family and all the other things that people do. I want to feel like my president cares about me and cares about this country, and Joe Biden does. I’ve known Joe for over 40 years and know the kind of man he is. I’m just so deeply honored to be a part of this.”

And, of course, _____instantly Tweeted that he hardly knows her, though that means nothing.

She knows ____and doesn’t want him in the White House.

Donny Deutsch, MSNBC, proving that _____ is another Hitler:

“What was going on in early 30s Germany? Well, basically you had a destruction of the belief in the free press, you had a blurring between the executive branch and the Justice Department. You have creating an other, whether it’s Muslims, whether it’s Mexicans, whether it’s congressmen who weren’t born in this country. And then you have the destruction of free elections. And we’re here. And what is the difference between Adolf Hitler and Donald Trump? I’m not saying there’s a Holocaust, but when you look at the tactics, and that is where we are right now. I want to talk to my Jewish friends who are voting for Donald Trump. How dare you? How dare you, with what our people have gone through in history. You see a man who is a dictator, and once you give them an absolute power he is possible of anything. And if you are a Jew in this country and you are supporting Donald Trump, you are not looking back at our history! And you are blind and you are walking like a lemming off a cliff. It is time to wake up. I’m sorry, this is where we are! There is no difference from what Donald Trump is preaching from what Adolf Hitler preached in the early 30s. Let’s just say it once and for all.”

Seems pretty clear to me … CAST A GODDAMNED VOTE!!

_____, calling into question RBG’s last words about waiting until after the election to fill her SCOTUS seat:

“I don’t know that she said that, or was that written out by Adam Schiff and Schumer and Pelosi? I would be more inclined to the second. That came out of the wind, it sounds so beautiful. But that sounds like a Schumer deal, or maybe a Pelosi, or shifty Schiff. So that came out of the wind.”

Fucking lying pig.

Adam Schiff, responding to that statement:

“Mr. President, this is low. Even for you. No, I didn’t write Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s dying wish to a nation she served so well, and spent her whole life making a more perfect union. But I am going to fight like hell to make it come true. No confirmation before inauguration.”

It’s almost impossible to fight _____’s when they come at you non-stop, and from all sides. But if we take out the corrupt president, and his corrupt minions, it’s a good start.

Nancy Pelosi, on what options Democrats have if _____ and Putin’s Bitch try to push through a Supreme Court nominee before the election or in a lame duck period:

“We have our options. We have arrows in our quiver that I’m not about to discuss right now. The fact is we have a big challenge in our country. This president has threatened to not even accept the results of the election with statements that he and his henchmen have made. So right now our main goal, and I think Ruth Bader Ginsburg would want that to be, would be to protect the integrity of the election as we protect the American people from the coronavirus. The fact is that this administration has been a total failure at protecting the health and well-being of the American people and it has had an impact on our economy. The lives, the livelihoods, and the life of our democracy are threatened by this administration. … We have a responsibility. We take an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. We have a responsibility to meet the needs of the American people. When we weigh the equities, protecting our democracy requires us to use every arrow in our quiver.”

I’m not sure the Democrats can stop this, but I know that we all can stop _____ and McConnell at the ballot box, and in the streets if we have to do that.

Olivia Troye, a former homeland security, counterterrorism and coronavirus adviser to Mike Pence, coming out for Joe Biden:

“The truth is he doesn’t actually care about anyone else but himself. When we were in a task force meeting, the president said ‘maybe this COVID thing is a good thing. I don’t like shaking hands with people. I don’t have to shake hands with these disgusting people. Those people are the same people that he claims to care about. These are the people still going to his rallies today. No matter how hard you work and what you do the president is going to do something that is detrimental to keeping Americans safe, which is why [I] signed up for this role. At this point, it’s country over party.”

Troye has been a Republican her whole life, a “McCain Republican” and a “Bush Republican” but now she’s voting for Joe Biden.
