I Didn't Say It ...

Adam Kinzinger, former GOP Congressman, on Jim Gym Jordan’s antics:

“Jim Jordan is an absolute hypocrite. Jim Jordan was in front of the Rules Committee when we were talking about holding Steve Bannon … in contempt. He said in front of the Rules Committee that the Department of Justice and the FBI should be the ones investigating [Thing 45]. And that would be their role. Now, of course, he’s against the Department of Justice and the FBI investigating [Thing 45]. He’s for the sanctity of the subpoena by the US Congress until he’s the one that gets subpoenaed by the US Congress. And he also voted against enforcing subpoenas against people like Steve Bannon and against people like Mark Meadows. I mean, this is—the hypocrisy is mind numbing. I am less concerned with what people’s view is on positions and what their idea is on policy, as much as I am when there is just open and blatant and unashamed hypocrisy where it’s all about winning. It’s all about power and truth, and justice really has no role in what they’re doing. If you have evidence that Joe Biden, not Hunter Biden, but that Joe Biden broke the law, bring it forward. And if it’s impeachable, impeach him. But you don’t have that evidence. So you go on a fishing expedition and all of a sudden you raise the flame of justice in Congress like you’re so concerned with the congressional subpoena when you were the one that ignored it the whole time.”

It’s a Clown Car that has no morals, no backbone, no spine, just feeding into Thing 45’s ego so he doesn’t come after them.

It’s fear and hypocrisy and ego and party over country for the Gop which is why they need to go.

George Santos, speaking to  NYC-based far-right talk radio station WABC:

“I’m not done with public service. I want to go back to Congress. I’m not saying today. I’m not saying tomorrow. I have a lot of things I need to take care of first. I think we all know, but I do have hopes of trying to regain the trust of the American people and going there, because I will continue to expose and root out the rot in our federal government.”

Oh, Kitara, Congress and the people of your district are done with you.

Santos, you will recall, screamed “to hell with this place” as he fled the final minutes of his House expulsion vote.

Mitt Romney, retiring GOP senator from Utah, saying that nearly any candidate in the 2024 field, of either party, would be an “upgrade” over another term for Thing 45:

“I’d be happy to support virtually any one of the Republicans—maybe not Vivek [Ramaswamy]—but the others that are running would be acceptable to me, and I’d be happy to vote for them. I’d be happy to vote for a number of the Democrats too. It would be an upgrade, in my opinion, from [Thing 45] and perhaps also from Joe Biden.”

Mittsy has it right, except that it’s anyone but the GOP candidates because none are fit to be president and only one person running knows the job, has done  the job, accomplished a lot, and still vows to fight and finish the job.

Vote Blue.

Liz Cheney, on a second Thing 45 term:

“He’s told us what he will do. It’s very easy to see the steps that he will take. People who say, ‘Well, if he’s elected, it’s not that dangerous because we have all of these checks and balances,’ don’t fully understand the extent to which the Republicans in Congress today have been co-opted. One of the things that we see happening today is a sort of a sleepwalking into dictatorship in the United States. If you look at what Donald Trump is trying to do, he can’t do it by himself. He has to have collaborators. And the story of Mike Johnson is a story of, of a collaborator and of someone who knew then – and knows now – that what he’s doing and saying is wrong, but he’s willing to do it in an effort to please [Inmate # P01135809]. And that’s what makes it dangerous.”

Take the lunatic at his word: he’ll be a dictator and every freedom we’ve all enjoyed will be gone if he doesn’t like it.

Chuck Grassley, GOP Senator from Iowa, on the House moving forward with an impeachment inquiry against Biden:

“I’m going to take the same position I’ve taken since I came. That all I can say is there’s some indication of maybe some compromise with China particularly, but I have no evidence of it. I’m going to just follow the facts where they are. And the facts haven’t taken me to that point where I can say that the president is guilty of anything.”

'No evidence.'

And yet the Gop keeps going on and on as if there is something.

Dear God, a doddering old fool like Grassley sees this for what it is, a whole lotta Who Shot John.

Jonathan Bailey, actor and current Husband-In-My-Head, on struggling with his sexual orientation when he was younger:

"I realized [LGBT+] was not in the curriculum [when I was at school] so I felt very alone. It’s a very common experience to not even have people in the classroom... if there's nothing in the books that you're reading, you're twice as likely to be bullied if you are a gay person. There's two things we don't want to know: if you're an alcoholic or if you're gay [so] of course, I thought that in order to be happy I needed to be straight. But if there is positive LGBT+ messaging 100% of everyone's mental health and happiness increases. It's a no brainer and Just Like Us is the charity that is doing it and they're bring ambassadors into schools, so I'm really excited.”

Bailey is involved with a charity called Just Like Us, which aims to raise awareness in schools on LGBTQ+. After coming out as gay to his friends and family in his twenties he still felt pressured to hide his sexuality in order to land roles but now hopes to help change the stigma for those who come after.

Plus he’s utterly hot.
