I Didn't Say It ...

Pete Buttigieg, former Secretary of Transportation and future President of the United States, calling Cankles unfit to lead troops:

“This is clearly amateur hour at the Pentagon and in the White House. And again, the price is being paid by all of us. You can also just tell from the administration’s attitude toward this war, the fact that they’re putting out videos treating this like a video game. It’s not a video game for the families of the fallen. And then, just this week, we saw campaign fundraising materials being put out, emails where the president’s committee, the president’s political operation, was raising money off of images of him at a dignified transfer. Any politician who does that has no business leading American troops in the war. If the president is willing to raise campaign funds over the bodies of America’s war dead, he is unfit to be the commander-in-chief.”

And when the families of those killed in Iran asked not to have cameras when their children’s bodies came home, the media was kept out … but not White House photographers who ignored the families’ wishes and filmed the event.

This is Cankles; a draft-dodging pedophile who only cares about himself.

Margaret Cho, actor and comedian, on the Democratic party:

“I want a Democrat to get bit by a zombie. I want a bloodthirsty, feral, hotheaded warrior creature who wills top at nothing to win. Where are my political animals who will fight tooth and nail for what is right? I’m sick of the high road. It’s gotten nowhere. We need a new route. A lowdown dirty one.”

I don’t want dirty Democrats, but I want Democrats with balls; Democrats who speak up and resist and demand answers. I want Democrat who win in November and begin holding this regime, from Bondi and Noem, to Hegseth and Miller, and all the rest, accountable for their crimes.

We don’t need to get dirty to do that, we just need to stand the fuck up.

Colman Domingo, actor, accepting the President’s Award at the 57th NAACP Image Awards and praising his stepfather:

“I had about four different speeches written and I let go of all of them this morning. ‘Cause I wanted to speak from the heart, and talk about service, and what gets you to this stage. You don’t get here alone. You get here by having a stepfather, Clarence Bowles, who came along when I was about eight years old and married my mom. He was a blue-collar worker, sanded hardwood floors. He fired me from my summer job with them. He said, ‘Son, come here. This is your last summer doing this.’ I said, ‘Why? I thought I was doing a good job.’ He says, ‘I don’t want you doing this backbreaking work. I want you to work with your mind.’ He held out his hands that had callouses on them, and he said, ‘Let me tell you something. I don’t want that for you. I want you to have soft hands. And I want you, when you go far, I want you to have something you believe in, and do good things in the world.’ And I carry that message with me, with every man that I portray. I want to make sure that I give them their full humanity, to make sure they look just like us in every single way, in all of our complexity. I want to make sure that there’s love, love, love, and more love.”

Sounds like Clarance Bowels was a wonder father who wanted more for his stepson than maybe he had as a child.

We could all use a parent, or parents, who lift us up.

Maren Morris, Grammy-winning country singer, ripping MAGAts for now saying they “didn’t vote for this”:

“I don't have forgiveness for the triple [Cankles voters] or ANY of the [Cankles voters]. You did vote for this. He is a dementia-ridden, diaper-clad, cornball ex-TV host. Bankrupt as f*ck. Look at his stats … you got bamboozled.”

So, MAGAts, if you’re upset that the world’s most blatant liar tricked you, then responsibility is on you for being too stupid to recognize what’s actually going on…especially the third time around!

Laverne Cox, actor and trans advocate, speaking at the GLAAD Media Awards:

“What we’ve seen over the past seven years is a strategic, well-funded, calculated effort to systematically dehumanize transgender people to make us subhuman. The ways that they speak about us, men in girls’ sports. Words like ‘biological sex,’ ‘transgenderism,’ ‘trans ideology,’ all of these words are designed so you don’t see us as people. You see us as some kind of idea that is meant to come and take something from you. It’s never been about sports or protecting women in sports. It’s never been about the children. If they wanted to protect women and children, they would prosecute the motherfuckers who are in the Epstein files. Many of whom are serving in this regime.”

Spot on; the GOP shrieks about the children, but children go hungry in America; the GOP squawks about abortion but ignore the children once they’re out of the womb; they fake cry about the dangers of drag queens and trans Americans harming children, but so and say nothing about billionaire pedophiles hosting Rape a Child parties on tropical islands.

So, GOP, save your bullshit, your hypocrisy, and your faux-Christian outrage. You only care about billionaires.

I Didn't Say It ...

Mrs. Betty Bowers, "America's Best Christian",  on Mexico sending firefighters to California:

“When Mexico sends its people, they’re sending they’re best. Their sending firefighters to help solve America’s problems. They’re bringing firefighting uniforms. They’re bringing firefighting equipment. They’re bringing kittens down from the trees. And all, I assume, are good people.”

Nice riff on The Felon’s 2016 racist rant.

The firefighters from Mexico, and elsewhere, are doing more to help LA and the thousands of displaced citizens than the so-called President-elect.

Michelle Visage, singer, producer, actress and RuPaul’s Drag Race judge, on calling transgenderism a mental illness:

“Don’t call transgender mentally ill if you believe a man in the clouds loves you unconditionally, but [only] under certain conditions.”

Snap.

Bernie Sanders, Vermont Democrat Senator, writing for Fox News, on America:

“It’s hard to miss. Our country is rapidly evolving into two Americas. One America consists of less than a thousand billionaires who have an unprecedented amount of wealth and power and have never ever had it so good. The other America, where the vast majority live, consists of tens of millions of families who are struggling to put food on the table, pay their bills and worry that their kids will have a lower standard of living than they do. We are in a pivotal and unprecedented moment in American history. Either we fight to create a government and an economy that works for all, or we continue to move rapidly down the path of oligarchy and the rule of the super-rich.”

Eat.The.Rich.

Lawrence O’Donnell, liberal political commentator, and host of The Last Word, on what liberals have done for America:

“What did Liberals do that was so offensive to the Republican Party? I’ll tell you what they did. Liberals got women the right to vote. Liberals created Social Security and lifted millions of elderly people out of poverty. Liberals ended segregation. Liberals passed the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act. Liberals created Medicare. Liberals passed the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act. What did Conservatives do?  They opposed Liberals on every one of those things, every one. So when you try to hurl that label at my feet, as if it were something to be ashamed of, something dirty, something to run away from, it won’t work because I will pick that label up and wear it as a badge of honor.”

Yeah, call me a liberal and think you’re hurting me.

I’d rather be a liberal any day of the week than support a group of billionaire brats, rapists and racists and criminals.

Colman Domingo, on his career, being gay in Hollywood, and playing mostly straight roles:

“I never limited myself to what I believed I could play, and I think that’s why the world has not limited me … I’m an actor, period, and I play everything. I just kept working, bringing my whole self into every role. The world shouldn’t have all of me. You have some of me, but not all of me. The offers that come in now are mostly straight roles. No one’s looking at me like, ‘He’s gay, he can’t do that.’ Because I said I can do anything. I try to live with grace and remember where I come from. I didn’t dream of fame—I dreamed of  doing meaningful work.”

I do not fall into that crowd of only gay actors can play gay, because then that would also mean that only straight actors can play straight, and that’s not true.

Tom Nichols, writer for The Atlantic, on The Felon:

"Paradoxically, however, [The Felon]’s reckless venality is a reason for hope. { The Felon] has the soul of a fascist but the mind of a disordered child. He will likely be surrounded by terrible but incompetent people. All of them can be beaten: in court, in Congress, in statehouses around the nation, and in the public arena. America is a federal republic, and the states—at least those in the union that will still care about democracy—have ways to protect their citizens from a rogue president. Nothing is inevitable, and democracy will not fall overnight.”

There will be methods to contain The Felon, even though the GOP will goosestep for Hair Furor every chance they get.

Gavin Newsom, California Democrat Governor, on The Felon withholding federal disaster aid to the fire-embattled state and his constant lies:

“He’s done it in Utah. He’s done it in Michigan, did it in Puerto Rico. He did it to California back before I was even governor, in 2018, until he found out folks in Orange County voted for him and he decided to give them money. So he’s been at this for years and years and years. It transcends the states, including, by the way, Georgia, he threatened similarly … that’s his style. And we take it seriously to the extent that in the past it’s taken a little bit more time [to get federal aid]. I’ve been pretty expressive about that in the context of someone threatening our first responders in terms of supporting the immediacy of their needs. I don’t know what he’s referring to when he talks about the Delta smelt in reservoirs. The reservoirs are completely full, the state reservoirs here in Southern California. Tragedies like this are why [he] never should have been elected. At a time when all Americans should be coming together to help California, he’s exploiting the tragedy for cheap political points.”

The Felon won’t help California because he says California didn’t vote for him so he’s clearly telling us AGAIN that he does not represent all of the people, just those who buy his cheap ass shoes and faux Bibles and the other bull shit he sells to pay his bills.
