I Didn't Say It

John Fetterman, Pennsylvania Democratic Senator, mocking Fox News over a report about the loosening of Senate dress code by taking down Fox, the GOP and Bobo:

"I figure if I take up vaping and grabbing the hog during a live musical, they'll make me a folk hero."

Aaaaaand scene!

Cassidy Hutchinson, former aide to Thing 45 lapdog Mark Meadows, smacking down Florida GOP loon Matt Gaetz after he claimed they dated:

"I will give Matt credit [to] his part of the statement that we did have an amicable working relationship and we were good friends—at points [but] Matt Gaetz, in my opinion, is somebody that I personally do not hold in high regards in terms of trust, and I do not think that Matt Gaetz has the best track record for relationships. I will say for myself: I have never dated Matt Gaetz. I have much higher standards in men, and Matt, frankly, is a very unserious politician ... I don't really have much else to say to somebody that is more concerned about a soundbite than actually passing legislation."

So, basically she’s saying Matt Gaetz is a moron who is woefully out of his depth and nowhere near her league.

Sounds right; he’s one of those social media politicians who want clicks but have no real interest in doing their job.

Vivek Ramaswamy, smarmy GOP presidential candidate, discussing transgender youth at this week’s debate:

“Transgenderism, especially in kids, is a mental health disorder… It is not compassionate to affirm a kid’s confusion. That is not compassion, that is cruelty.”

I wonder when this slimeball used car salesman asshat became an expert on transgender and why he disputes the American Psychiatric Association which says diverse gender expressions “are not indications of a mental disorder.”

Perhaps he’s just catering to bigoted MAGAt asshats ... or he’s just a lying fuck himself.

Tim Scott, at that same GOP debate the other night, saying that welfare assistance was harder than slavery for Black Americans:

“Black families survived slavery! We survived poll taxes and literacy tests. We survived discrimination being woven into the laws of our country. What was hard to survive was Johnson’s Great Society, where they decided to put money—where they decided to take the Black father out of the household to get a check in the mail.”

Funny, sounds a little like Scott might actually be acknowledging systemic racism, something he says does not exist.

As for welfare being harder than slavery … I can’t.

Tim Burchett, Tennessee’s GOP Representative, on Kevin McCarthy and his future as Speaker:

“I have my doubts right now because I’m seeing—we need leadership … We don’t need someone just to say we’ve got 218 votes or whatever that jumps on the train after it leaves the station. Speaker Pelosi, I don’t agree with her ever, hardly on anything, but she was pretty successful. And the way she did it was she put an issue out amongst her caucus. She met with them. She figured out what they wanted, and then they put it out on the floor and they passed it and they rallied around it. A lot of work goes into that but I’m not seeing that work right now. And it’s very disappointing to me.”

Cuz it’s all games, Tim; it’s all show for Matty and Marge and Bobo, and Kevin’s hanging onto his power by a thread, so they can’t get anything done. Your party doesn’t work; it stopped working a long time ago and in the last six years has become a group of traitorous jokes.

Howard Stern, embracing being called “woke” by the wingnuts:

“I kind of take that as a compliment, that I’m ‘woke.’ To me, the opposite of woke is being asleep, and if woke means I can’t get behind [Inmate # P01135809], which is what I think it means, or that I support people who want to be transgender, or I’m for the vaccine—dude, call me woke as you f—ing want. I’m not for stupidity. I am woke, motherf—er. And I love it. I think that’s a compliment. These guys who I see on the internet who say they’re not woke, but they seem to be really angry, super against gay people—especially transgender. Am I for kids being able to read about anything in school? Yeah, I am. I don’t give a s— what kids read. Give me vaccines, man. I’m all for it. I like being woke.”

The opposite of woke is asleep, and the Republicans, many of them, in America, are asleep as to what they’re being told; they’re too fast asleep to even question the lies; they’re far too sleepy to see that what they’re being fed is hate.

Unless they all just hate, which might be true, too.

PS  A USA Today-Ipsos poll released in March found that 56% of Americans have a positive association with the term “woke,” understanding it to mean to “be informed, educated on, and aware of social injustices.”

I feel sad for the 44%.

I Didn't Say It

John Fetterman, Democratic Senator from Pennsylvania, on the House Republicans and their threats to impeach President Biden:

“Go ahead, do it. I dare you. If you can find the votes, go ahead, because you’re going to lose. It’s a loser. It would be just like a big circle jerk on the fringe right. Sometimes you just gotta call their bull shit.”

We need more Democrats standing up and calling the GOP out for their riduclous impeachment nonsense.

Remind the country that statements aren’t fact, and theories aren’t evidence and the GOP is just a hypocritical do-nothing clown car.

Ron DeSantis, once again proving he’s a dangerous hate-filled racist lunatic:

“You have to identify them as being hostile. I mean, if there’s a woman with a baby, they are not a cartel member. There’s not going to be authorization to just shoot somebody like that. But when somebody’s got a backpack on and they’re breaking through the wall, you know that that’s hostile intent, and you have every right to take action under those circumstances. And if you—guess what? You do that a few times, the times are a-changing, they will have to respond to that.”

Yes, a man running to be the President of the United States says he wants to shoot men with backpacks because they’re probably members of a drug cartel.

He advocates murder.

Lindsey Graham, South Carolina’s Miss Peach Queen 1947 and its GOP Senator, on the news that a Georgia grand jury had voted to recommend charges for him for interfering with the 2020 election result:

“What I did was consistent with my job as being a U.S. senator, chair of the Judiciary Committee. I think the system in this country is getting off the rails and we have to be careful not to use the legal system as a political tool. I never suggested anybody set aside the election. I never said, ‘go find votes.’ I never said anything other than trying to find how the mail-in balloting system worked. The case will move forward without me. If it ever becomes impossible or politically dangerous or legally dangerous for a United States senator to call up people to find out how the election was wrong, God help us all. The next election, if I have questions, I’ll do the same thing.”

It's like my Nana used to say, “You can’t teach an old confirmed bachelor self-loathing closeted homosexual a new trick.”

He doesn’t get that what happens in Georgia ain’t none of his business.

Tim Scott, South Carolina GOP Senator and presidential wannabe, fighting rumors he’s as gay as Miss Lindsey by, well, read it:

“I have a wonderful girlfriend, and we have a wonderful relationship. The good news is that God has blessed me with a smart, Christian woman. That’s great news, but more importantly is, why are the headlines there? The headlines are there because as I rise in the polls, as people show up at night in my town halls, it scares even my opponents.”

Um, what’s her name, Timmy? Do you have a photo? Why hasn’t she ever been seen before?

Scott has preached for abstinence before marriage and earlier this year dodged a Washington Post question over whether he remains a virgin.

Uh huh.

Coco Gauff, winner of the 2023 US Open, putting everything into perspective when asked about her struggles in tennis:

“There are real people struggling to feed their families. There are people who don’t know where their next meal is going to come from; people who have to pay their bills. That’s real pressure. That’s real hardship. That’s real life.”

That’s one smart, talented young woman.
