I Didn't Say It ...

Ken Martin, DNC chair, on the administration morons texting out war plans to a journalist:

“Pete Hegseth was unfit to lead the Defense Department even before he risked our national security though his own sloppy handling of sensitive military information. Just like his boss … Hegseth—and everyone else involved—put on a stunning display of recklessness and disregard for our national security. Hegseth should resign, and if he doesn’t, he should be fired. It’s crystal clear that our men and women in uniform deserve better—and that our national security cannot be left in Hegseth’s incompetent and unqualified hands.”

Can you imagine what would have happened had this monumental fuck-up occurred during Biden or Obama’s term? The GOP would have railed about impeachment, Fox News would have had conniption fits, and Republicans would have cried and stomped their feet.

But it happened under their Dear Leader so from the right and the rightwingnut media, it’s crickets.

Resist.

Conan O'Brien, receiving the "Mark Twain Prize for American Humor" at the Kennedy Center and using the opportunity to humiliate The Felon:

"Thanks to my people who invited me here a few months ago: Deborah Rutter and David Rubenstein [former board member and chair that The Felon removed] … And a special thanks to all the beautiful people who have worked here at the Kennedy Center for years and who are worried about what the future might bring. Twain was a patriot in the best sense of the world. He loved America, but knew it was deeply flawed. Twain wrote, ’patriotism is supporting your country all of the time and your government when it deserves it.’ Now, some of you, some of you might be thinking, ‘what does this have to do with comedy?’ Twain is funny and important today because his comedy is a hilarious celebration of our fears, our ineptitude, and the glorious mess of being human. Only [The Felon] knows his priorities best. There’s a lot going on in the world but probably taking control of the Kennedy Center should be at the top of the list.”

The Felon rants about performances and Broadway shows and portraits of him, but nary a word about eggs and gas prices and housing, or any of the promises he made to the cult to get elected.

Resist the ignorance of the tiny orange man.

Raphaël Glucksmann, French Parliamentarian, responding to the White House Press Secretary, Karoline Leavitt’s attack after he suggested France should reclaim the Statue of Liberty:

“Dear Americans, since the White House press secretary is attacking me today, I wanted to tell you this. Our two peoples are intimately linked by history, by the blood we shed, and by our shared passion for freedom—symbolized by the Statue of Liberty, which France gifted to honor your glorious Revolution. As the press secretary for this shameful administration said: without your nation, France would have ‘spoken German.’ In my case, it goes further: I would simply not be here if Americans hadn’t landed on our beaches in Normandy. Our gratitude to these heroes and their sacrifices is eternal. But the America of these heroes fought against tyrants, it did not flatter them. It was the enemy of fascism, not the friend of Putin. It helped the resistance, not attacked Zelensky. It celebrated science, not fired researchers for using banned words. It welcomed the persecuted, not targeted them. It was far—so far—from what your current president does, says, and embodies. This America—faithful to the words inscribed on the Statue of Liberty, your America—is worth so much more than betrayal. More than the abandonment of Ukraine and Europe. More than xenophobia and obscurantism. We in Europe love this nation to which we owe so much. And we know it will rise again. You will rise again. We are counting on you. And that is why I said in a rally: if your government despises everything the Statue of Liberty symbolizes, we could symbolically reclaim it. It was a wake-up call. No one, of course, will come and steal the Statue of Liberty. The statue is yours. But what it embodies belongs to all of us. And if your government no longer cares for the free world, we will take up the torch here in Europe. Until we meet again in the fight for freedom and dignity, we will be the continuators of our shared history and the protectors of our greatest treasure: not copper and steel, but the freedom it represents.”

Karoline Leavitt’s husband bought her the job as Press Secretary and she has proven herself to be woefully inept and way out of her league when it comes to policy and politics.

She’s a little girl playing dress up and doing it badly.

Bernie Sanders, Vermont Democrat Senator, on holding rallies with AOC and sparking the resistance:

“Today AOC and I had 34,000 people come out to us in Denver. It is the largest rally that I have ever had. And it tells me that the American people will not allow [The Felon] to move the United States into oligarchy and authoritarianism. We will fight back. We will win.”

The latest gaffe by this White House will shift many people away from The Felon and his minions, though the hardcore cultists and Fox News will play the No Big Deal Card.

Jessica Tarlov, Fox News host, stuns The Cult by incinerating The Felon for sending innocent people to a "gulag" in El Salvador:

"[The Felon] saying on Truth Social that maybe you'll go to El Salvador—at this moment when the ACLU attorneys are reporting that people have been falsely sent to El Salvador, which is what we said was going to happen, they're being sent back. Because guess what? They're not Venezuelan and also they sent some women and El Salvador doesn't want to take women. Are you going to finally admit that the way they are vetting these people is inaccurate?—

Tarlov was interrupted by The Felon lapdog Jesse Watters who said:

“Oh vetting is good now!"

"That's so funny. You guys are so hilarious. What about the Venezuelan soccer player who was tortured by the Maduro regime and was sent to El Salvador? He had a legitimate asylum claim, went through a legal port of entry––"

Now it was Judge Jeanine “Boxed Wine” Pirro, who said: 

"What about the Americans who have been murdered by illegals. Let's not do all this. The question has to do with Democrats—"

"Why not? Because it doesn't suit you right now. You're so ridiculous."

Pirro shrieked: 

"It's not ridiculous! The question was a simple one and you can't answer it."

"I did answer it. I answered it explicitly because I'm a grownup. And I can say 'Oh Jeanine asked me question, here's my answer.' Also, Jeanine then could you answer my question: Do you think it's okay that innocent people are being sent to a foreign gulag?"

Pirro: 

"I think that what's important is that we get rid of ... I think that's what important is that we get rid of the criminals in this country that your favorite president allowed to come into this country—"

"But these aren't criminals!"

Pirro and Watters shut their yaps because, though they’d never admit it, Tarlov schooled them and put their ignorance and cult behavior on full display.

Plus, Jeanine was drunk and Jesse had wet his pants.

Tammy Duckworth, Illinois Democrat Senator, demanding DUI hire Pete Hegseth’s resignation after he repeatedly lied about sharing classified information in an unsecured group text message:

“Pete Hegseth is a fucking liar. This is so clearly classified info he recklessly leaked that could’ve gotten our pilots killed. He needs to resign in disgrace immediately. Hegseth and every other official who was included in this group chat must be subject to an independent investigation. If Republicans won’t join us in holding the Trump Administration accountable, then they are complicit in this dangerous and likely criminal breach of our national security.”

Duckworth—a combat veteran, former Black Hawk helicopter pilot and member of the Senate Armed Services and Foreign Relations committees—said Hegseth put the lives of American service members in danger by discussing the timing and sequencing of U.S. attacks targeting the Houthis in Yemen in early March.

Hegseth, The Felon , and the GOP say he did nothing wrong by texting on an open channel, and to an investigative reporter for The Atlantic.

Fucking liar indeed.

Jack Schlossberg, JFK’s grandson, speaking about The Felon declassifying his grandfather's assassination report:

"[The Felon] is obsessed with my grandfather—but not in his life or what he achieved in it. No, just like [my uncle, Robert Kennedy Jr], [The Felon] is only interested in JFK’s carcass. JFK drafted the civil rights act—[The Felon] made DEI illegal. JFK stared down Russia and did not blink—[The Felon]  is Russia’s closest ally. JFK sent a man to the moon—[The Felon]  gave Elon the keys to Air Force One. JFK created USAID—[The Felon]  eliminated it. JFK fought fascism and Communism. [The Felon]  is selling us out to tech warlords, at home and abroad. JFK stood behind unions and labor, demanding healthcare, higher pay. [The Felon]  is stripping working families from lifesaving care , financial support. These men [The Felon, RFK. And Elon Musk] are stealing history from present and future generations—by appropriating the past for their criminal agenda, they normalize themselves in the minds of those without living memory."

The Felon hopes to be remembered as JFK but rightly so he will instead be remembered as RFK Jr type of fool.
