I Didn't Say It

Chris Hayes, MSNBC, dragging Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, and the GOP, for their overall hypocrisy:

“In Ron DeSantis’ Florida, the state will decide what books your child can or cannot leave their school library [with] by threatening teachers and librarians with time in prison if they do not comply with vague laws about instruction on race, gender and sexuality. The state will decide what women can do with their own bodies by banning abortion at six weeks. Of course, that is for all intents and purposes a complete abortion ban, which means that Ron DeSantis and the Republican Party of Florida control the bodies of every Floridian who can get pregnant. It’s their body not yours. The state will also decide how you can dress in public, which costumes you can wear. By enacting what is essentially a full ban on drag performances that will also likely restrict Pride events. The state will decide what kind of speech corporations can engage in … but Ron DeSantis’ dystopian authoritarian vision is most apparent in the legislation he just signed yesterday. It bans all gender-affirming care for all minors in Florida, everyone 18 and younger, that law also empowers state courts to change custody agreements if a child is receiving or is at risk of receiving gender-affirming care. Meaning taking a kid away from a parent. Telling parents how they can or cannot raise their own children is among the most authoritarian things a government can do … While Ron DeSantis tours around the country promoting himself and his new memoir titled, ‘The Courage to Be Free,’ at home he runs a government based on the opposite of freedom. His agenda is about state authority and its punitive views and decrees from on high. In Florida, [he] is running a kind of little MAGA kingdom, in which Ron DeSantis and the Republican Party in the state legislature, with their big majorities, tell you how to live your life and you don’t get to choose … Now  the sick irony here the one that I just can’t get over and really kind of sticks with me is that the right-wing movement that gave us this new law signed yesterday, is the very same group of people that screamed about parental rights for years, amidst the pandemic. ‘I get to say whether my kid wears a mask, I get to say whether my kid gets vaccinated. I get to say whether my kid goes to school.’ And Ron DeSantis was the public face of that movement. What a tough guy … you see all that swagger? He’s gonna stand in your way. If you’re coming after parental rights, if you try to tell a parent what they can do with their kids. That very same wing of the Republican Party embodied by Ron DeSantis and the government of the state of Florida, has now demanded and produced a situation in which the government, that guy you saw there with a tough guy swagger about freedom, is going to decide if your child who lives in your home, that you gave birth to or raised, that you love, your kid, what kind of care they can get. He decides … You may not like it, but you know what? It’s none of your, excuse me, goddamn business. To me, that is what the courage to be free means. Freedom means that in my household, our family decides what kind of health care our child does or does not get. Not Ron DeSantis. Not the Republican Party. That is no longer the case in Florida.”

Truth; and if it doesn’t scare the crap out of you that Ron DeSantis wants to tell everyone how they have to live their lives then you deserve what you get, because once he’s done coming for drag queens and trans kids and people of color, he’ll come for the rest of you.

Lauren Boebert, dingbat, during a House hearing on lowering prescription drug prices—which she opposes—showed the kind of mother she is:

“I left a prescription at a pharmacy once. I went to get birth control. I was there at the counter, went to pay for it, and the price was very, very high. I said wow, is this a three-, six-month prescription? They said, no ma’am, this is one month. I said it’s cheaper to have a kid. And I left it there, and now I have my third son, Kaydon Boebert, and so it actually turned out to be a really great thing.”

Must be nice being Bobo’s third child and knowing that the only reason he’s here is because his mother’s checking account was overdrawn and she couldn’t get the pill.

Katrina Shealy, South Carolina Republican state Senator, before she voted no on the state's new 6 week abortion ban, offering a suggestion for the men in America:

“Men are 100% responsible for pregnancies. Men are fertile 100% of the time. So, it is time for men in this chamber and the ones across that hall and all across the state of South Carolina to take some ejaculation responsibility.”

I think child support, monetary child support should also start at six weeks and continue on for the next eighteen years and when men see the high cost of sticking their dicks wherever they choose maybe they’ll keep their pants zipped.

Cher, on the passing of her friend Tina Turner:

“When I first knew her, she was still with Ike. It was very strange to see her with Ike and afterward. I was so thrilled, because afterward, she was so free. You could just see her being able to take a big breath. Her new life was like a big, fresh breath. She was such a force. Honestly, I think she just hit everything head-on... She wasn't about to stop. She might not have won every battle, but she fought every war. She was there fighting for all the things she believed in … She's one of the great artists of our generation, in rock and roll. There was no other person like her. There's no other person who could come close to who she was. I started going to visit her because I thought, ‘I need to put this time into our friendship, so she knows we haven’t forgotten her.’ So we kind of all took turns going and spending time with her. It made her happy and someone said, ‘When you two laugh together, it is the funniest thing that you could ever possibly want to hear’ because we both have distinct laughs. [She] said, 'I can't spend too much time,' [but] then five hours later we were laughing like crazy…She was having a good time in spite of the fact that she was really sick and not wanting people to know about it. There was no other person like her.”

Diva to diva.

I Didn't Say It ...

Tammy Duckworth, Democratic Senator from Illinois, and possible VP candidate, on the Senate floor taking on _____ and his apparent lack of concern for military men and women murdered by Putin’s hired assassins:

"He's had time to call Joe Biden names, however not once in the past 72 hours has he found time to express outrage that American service members are dead."

Well, to be fair, he doesn’t wanna piss off his boss.
And he’s a coward and a murderer.
Rachel Maddow, MSNBC, hammering Murdering Racist In Chief, _____, about Putin putting bounties on American soldiers heads while he was napping through the winter:

“This is kind of sickening news. … Vladimir Putin is offering bounties for the scalps of American soldiers in Afghanistan. Not only offering, but some of the bounties that have been offered have been collected. Not only does the president know … there was that unexpected and friendly conversation he had with Putin. According to the Kremlin what they discussed on that call was how much Russia would like to be allowed back into the G7. President _____ then got off that call with Putin and immediately began calling for Russia to be allowed back into the G7. … That’s how ____ is standing up for Americans being killed for rubles paid by Putin’s government.”

Well, when you’re Putin’s bitch …
Alex Azar, Health and Human Services Secretary, saying he hadn’t seen the video that _____ retweeted of the White Power senior citizens, moment, MOMENTS, after host Jake Tapper played it for him:

“I’ve not seen that video or that tweet, but obviously neither the president, his administration nor I would do anything to be supportive of white supremacy or anything that would support discrimination of any kind. I’ve been here getting ready to speak to you. I’ve not seen that, and so I don’t want to comment further on that. But obviously the president and I and his whole administration would stand against any acts of white supremacy.”

Let me say this, the GOP Cowards are so complicit with this racist murdering traitor, that when he is defeated and run from office, they’ll all band together and swear they never saw his presidency.
Vote all these fuckers from office so people like Azar are out of government.
Chris Hayes, MSNBC, laying into _____ over his failure to handle the COVID-19 outbreak:

“There is no country on Earth this far into this pandemic that has bungled it this badly. We need leadership and a leader to get us out of this. But we do not have that leader. We have Donald _____ … As coronavirus cases race back up, the president ignored warnings from his public health experts and that resulted in tens of thousands of preventable deaths. And we’re looking at tens of thousands more. Right now, we are seeing our chance as Americans to get back to some semblance of normalcy the way other countries have with work and school and even sports, we’re seeing it slip away because of Donald _____. We are suffering through the incompetence of a man who took a huge inheritance and squandered it on stupid glitzy investments and bankrupted his company six times because he was not up to the task. If this presidency had creditors, the virus’ resurgence this week would have been a default event. Only it is not his creditors who are suffering. It is us. It is the people who could have survived this virus. It’s friends and loved ones in nursing homes …. Donald _____ does not learn. He is not going to get good at this. He is not going to change. He has failed, definitively, and it is an urgent matter of public safety at this moment for the president, Donald _____, to resign.”

As of today, _____’s ineptitude has resulted in 130,000 dead Americans, and if that isn’t enough to vote him out of office ,don’t forget he’s a racist-hate-baiting pussy grabbing criminal motherfucker.
Dan Patrick, asshat Lt. Governor of Texas, attacking Dr. Anthony Fauci and his knowledge of COVID-19:

“Locking down doesn’t work! If it did, those two states [California and New York] would be doing better than Texas. Fauci said today that he’s concerned about states like Texas that skipped over certain things. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about! We haven’t skipped over anything. The only thing I’m skipping over is listening to him. … He has been wrong every time on every issue. I don’t need his advice anymore.”

Hey Dan, pull your head out of your ass and look at Europe and South Korea, countries that locked down at once and mandated masks. Their numbers are down and going down, and our number, and your in Texas are through the roof.
Plus, you also said old people should be happy to die of the virus if it meant saving the economy, so please forgive those of us who choose Fauci’s advice over that of a GOP Coward and _____-kissing fuckmonkey.
Spencer Brown, DJ and producer, coming out as gay:

“Imagine waking up daily with unshakable self-hate without knowing why. School starts in an hour; crippling anxiety keeps you under your sheets. You stumble into the bathroom and look in the mirror; you see a person you don’t understand. You drive to school; you drown your thoughts with the loudest music you own. You try to suppress your natural feelings and emotions; you tell yourself that love is an idiotic fairytale. This was my, and many others’, reality for over a decade, but I’ve learned that mornings don’t have to be that way. I am gay. It’s so much easier to say today than it was even a few years ago. While I have never publicly denied this part of me, I have also never spoken out about it. I will no longer live in fear.”

Nor should you, or anyone for that matter.
Welcome out Spencer, and please accept from HOMO HQ the Official Coming Out Toaster Oven™ and copy of the Gay Agenda.
Welcome out.

I Didn't Say It ...


Dr. Anthony Faucimember of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, on _____’s lies and misinformation in his daily coronavirus briefings:

“The way it happened is that after he made that statement [suggesting China could have revealed the discovery of coronavirus months earlier], I told the appropriate people, it doesn’t comport, because two or three months earlier would have been September. The next time they sit down with him and talk about what he’s going to say, they will say, by the way, Mr. President, be careful about this and don’t say that. But I can’t jump in front of the microphone and push him down. OK, he said it. Let’s try and get it corrected for the next time.”

No, Dr. Fauci. Correct him on camera, in real time, or else you become part of the spin. You’re the one who knows, you’re the educated man. Speak up so that more people don’t get sick and die.
Rachel Maddow, on _____ lying to the American public about the effectiveness of a malaria drug against COVID-19:

“I know we ought to be getting used to this kind of thing by now, but I’m not. President ­­­­­_____ today, again, just flat-out wrong in public about this malaria drug that has gotten stuck in his mind, quite some distance from the facts. But the president loves saying things like, you know, ‘There’s a drug we’ve got and it’s very effective. It’s approved already! Everybody’s gonna get it.’ He loves saying things like that because that would be a lovely thing to be able to tell people, unless of course that’s not true in which case telling people a fairytale like that is cruel and harmful and needlessly diverting and wildly irresponsible from anyone in any leadership role. It’s actually wildly irresponsible if somebody said that to you from a bar stool—if any of us could go to bars anymore—but to get that from somebody at the presidential podium? ... There is a clear pattern here in this crisis of the president promising stuff that he knows America would love to hear but it’s not true. And even stuff that he’s saying that he will do that the federal government will do, he’s not doing. I feel like we should inoculate ourselves against the harmful impact of these ongoing false promises and false statements by the president by recognizing that when he is talking about the coronavirus epidemic, more often than not, he is lying. Even when he’s talking about what he has done or what he will do, he is consistently lying and giving you happy talk that is stuff that the federal government isn’t actually doing. ... And so, the sooner we come to terms with that, I think the better for all of us. If it were up to me, and it’s not, I would stop putting those briefings on live TV. Not out of spite but because it’s misinformation. If the president does end up saying anything true, you can run it as tape but if he keeps lying like this every day on stuff this important, all of us should stop broadcasting it. Honestly, it’s gonna cost lives.”

The thing is, no matter issue is facing this country, it has to be about _____, or else he’s not interested.
That’s explains the lies and the stupidity.
Steve Mnuchin, Secretary of the Treasury, thinks y’all are making too much of this unemployment nonsense:

“To be honest with you, I just think these numbers right now are not relevant whether they’re bigger or smaller in the short term. Obviously, there people who have jobless claims, and, again, the good thing about the bill is the president is protecting those people. They had no choice, now with this bill passed by Congress, there are protections, and as I said, hopefully, those workers will be rehired, but between these three programs, it protects all of American workers. And by the way, you know, lots of big companies do continue to hire, for obviously grocery stores, pharmacies, you know, delivery services. These companies are on overtime, so I know they’re hiring people as fast as they can.”

It’s “irrelevant” to this millionaire that last week 200,000 Americans were unemployed and this week it’s over 3 million.
It's frightening how out of touch the _____ administration is as countless Americans suffer from sickness and death and unemployment thanks to their incompetent response to the coronavirus.
Chris Hayes, MSNBC news anchor, on _____’s coronavirus FOX News PR blitz on Tuesday in which he announced that he’d like to open the country by Easter:

“After a few days of said war, it seems like _____ is now looking to surrender. Today … _____ announced that he wants to open the country up again by Easter. Why Easter? Because it would be beautiful to see packed churches for the holidays. Easter is two and half weeks away. Other countries that have battled this epidemic have had lockdowns for 60 days. The place with the worst outbreak in the world, Wuhan, China, where all this started, are still in lockdown. Maybe they’ll be out in time for Easter. In the midst of this global pandemic, at this moment of crisis, the president, as he has been doing daily, as he has done since the first case arrived on our shores, went out today and said things that are flat out wrong, that are lies, and more than that, that are dangerous. That’s why we did not play you any sound of what he said today, because frankly, the president has become a kind of—well, he’s a genuine threat to public health, his rhetoric at this point, the things he says.”

Stop airing his briefings, or at least the part where he speaks; he provides nothing new, offers no sympathy, and instead turns it into a Poor Me Rally.
Stop.Airing.Them.
Trevor NoahThe Daily Show, has another idea:

“You know what we need to do with Donald _____? The same way they bleep out curse words in rap videos, they need to start bleeping out Trump’s misinformation in his press briefings. Every time he’s up there at the podium, they should be ready with the censors.”

If they bleep every time he lies it’ll sound like thousands of alarms going off all at once.
Just stop airing the portion of the briefing where he is speaking lying.
Ainsley EarhardtFox & Friends host, suggested that the economy should reopen so women could get their hair and nails done:

 “Every day, we’re talking about different topics, because we’re moving in hopefully the direction of getting where China is now, or South Korea is now, and just getting some improvement. If you bought clothing before all this happened, if you want to return it, are stores gonna waive that 30-day period where you can get your money back? This not a priority, but women have to get their hair done. I saw someone tweet out, you’re going to see what color our real hair is, because our roots are going to grow in. All my friends are saying—this is not a priority, people are dying, and I realize that—that they can’t get their nails done.”

First off, if she’s not joking, then she’s clearly the biggest idiot at Fox News, which is saying a lot.
If she’s not joking, then she’s clearly the biggest idiot at Fox News, which is saying a lot.
Women are out of work, and a lot of them are not taking care of their children 24/7.hoping they don’t get sick, or even worse, their older parents don’t get sick, but Ainsley boils it all down to hair and nails.
Maybe that’s what the women at Fox News are worried about because as long as their on their knees a few hours a day they still have a job.
Bill Gates, gazillionaire Microsoft founder, on reopening the country in two weeks:

“We need to shut down so that the worst case that was happening in [Wuhan, China] or Northern Italy, that we avoid that. It’s very tough to say to people, ‘Hey, keep going to restaurants, go buy new houses, ignore that pile of bodies over in the corner. We want you to keep spending because there’s maybe a politician who thinks [gross domestic product] GDP growth is what really counts.’”

Gates suggests a shutdown may need to remain in place for six to 10 weeks.
And that’ll be so close to the election that _____might just freak out and do something dangerous and stupid and totally _____.
Bryant Culpepper, Okeechobee County Commissioner, on how to stop coronavirus:

“This sounds really goofy, and it did to me too, but it works. Once the temperature reaches 136 degrees Fahrenheit, the virus falls apart, it disintegrates. I said how would you get the temperature up to 136 degrees? The answer was you use a blow dryer. You hold a blow dryer up to your face and you inhale through your nose and it kills all the viruses in your nose.”

I ask that Culpepper try it on TV and have doctors standing by to handle his burns. When he’s better, tell him that hitting himself in the head with a hammer makes the virus run, and let him try tat.
Asshat.

I Didn't say It ...

Michael Elizabeth Pence, bigot and homophobe, speaking at an event honoring National Adoption Month beaming about the _____ plan to roll back an Obama-era rule that barred taxpayer-funded adoption and foster care agencies from rejecting same-sex couples based on religious beliefs:

“Let me assure all of you that we understand the role that communities fo faith play in adoption … I couldn’t be more proud that at President _____’s direction and with the strong support of leaders across foster care, adoption, and our faith communities, we’ve taken decisive action. We’ve reversed the rule implemented in the closing days of the last administration that jeopardized the ability of faith-based providers to serve those in need by penalizing them for their deeply held religious beliefs. We will stand for the freedom of religion and we will stand with faith-based organizations to support adoption. We will stand for the freedom of religion, and we will stand with faith-based organizations to support adoption.”

Remember this one the next time you hear this deeply closeted and self-loathing homosexual tell you that he has no issue with the LGBTQ+ community .
Then tell him to Fuck off.
And tell Mother, too.
Amy Klobuchar, presidential candidate who has no shot, says a woman with the same experience as Pete Buttigieg would not make it to the debate stage:

“Of the women on the stage—I’m focusing here on my fellow women senators, Senator Harris, Senator Warren and myself—do I think that we would be standing on that stage if we had the experience that he had? No, I don’t. Maybe we’re held to a different standard.”

Oh Amy, stop whining and finish out your run. You had a shot, Pete has a shot, but just because people seem to like him more isn’t some anti-female conspiracy. It has less to do with Pete’s gender, or sexual orientation, than it has to do with the fact that he is a decent man, a veteran, a man of faith, who has some great ideas for where to take this country. Oh, and it has to do with amount of money raised so you can be on that debate stage.
Look in a mirror; you aren’t presidential.
Jeff Sessions, _____’s former Attorney General has launched a Senate bid in Alabama and started up by licking the hole of _____ in his first political ad:

“When I left President Trump’s cabinet, did I write a tell all book? No. Did I go on CNN and attack the President? Nope. Have I said a cross word about President Trump? Not one time. And I’ll tell you why: First, that would be dishonorable. I was there to serve his agenda, not mine. Second, the President is doing a great job for America and Alabama, and he has my strong support.”

Wait, is this the height of pathetic or what? I mean _____ fired Sessions, and called him the worst mistake in hiring he has ever made, and yet this little Keebler Elf is so desperate to be elected to office that he’ll gloss over that fact?
I’m embarrassed for him.
Chris Hayes, MSNBC, on Jeff Sessions’ ad:

“Now, that is probably, I’m just guessing, not going to appease the president. NBC News reports it has been made clear to Sessions that _____ intends to campaign against him. According to the Washington Post, _____ has even joked to senators and White House aides that he would move to Alabama and compete against Sessions himself in the primary, which would be weird and, I guess, interesting. So now the question is, will the president go to war against perhaps the person most likely to carry the state for Republicans?”

We all know _____ holds a grudge and he’d put himself over the GOP any day, so I’d love to see him campaign against Sessions and Sessions beg to be loved.
_____ Junior, has a new book out, and offers example of his entire family’s sense of delusion after a visit to Arlington National Cemetery the day before his father’s inauguration:

“I rarely get emotional, if ever. I guess you’d call me hyper-rational, stoic. Yet as we drove past the rows of white grave markers, in the gravity of the moment, I had a deep sense of the importance of the presidency and a love of our country … In that moment, I also thought of all the attacks we’d already suffered as a family, and about all the sacrifices we’d have to make to help my father succeed—voluntarily giving up a huge chunk of our business and all international deals to avoid the appearance that we were ‘profiting off of the office.' Frankly, it was a big sacrifice, costing us millions and millions of dollars annually … Of course, we didn’t get any credit whatsoever from the mainstream media, which now does not surprise me at all.”

Seriously? Visiting the graves of men and women who gave their lives fighting for this country, and he recalls how he and Daddy were picked on? And how much money they lost because Daddy stole an election?
There’s so much to say, but it all boils down to this …
Fuck off, little boy.
Nikki Haley, former United Nations ambassador, in her new memoir, claiming that former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and former White House Chief of Staff John Kelly tried to recruit her to subvert _____:

“Kelly and Tillerson confided in me that when they resisted the president, they weren’t being insubordinate, they were trying to save the country. It was their decisions, not the president’s, that were in the best interests of America, they said. The president didn’t know what he was doing.”

Let’s remember that in 2016 Haley, as governor of South Carolina, actively campaigned against _____, and even endorsed Marco Rubio for president.
Marco-effing-Rubio.
And then, when _____ came a’calling she took a job with him and became his lapdog. And she sat with Miss Lindsey—what is it with these South Carolina flip-flopping asshatted politicians and _____—drank the Kool-Aid.
Let’s also remember that rumor has it that, if he decides to run again, and doesn’t get impeached or go to jail, that _____ will dump Pence and replace him with Nikki.
That explains a lot.
She’s a typical lying pandering looking out only for herself asshat.
I’m done.
Chris Wallace, Fox “News” anchor, on Day One of the impeachment hearings:

“William Taylor was a very impressive witness and was very damaging to the president. First of all … he took very copious notes at almost every conversation, I think very nonpolitical. He went out of his way to talk about what he knew, what he was specifically testament to. The only thing he talked about was a strong feeling that it was in the U.S. national security interests to support Ukraine in the fight against Russia. But he certainly wasn’t taking any partisan position.”

Uh oh, Chris, you better be careful lest _____ place a call to Hannity and “Judge” Jeanine and they try to beat you up in the parking lot for not toeing the line.
Jim Jordan, GOP Congressman, who ALLEGEDLY covered up for a rapist at a university, and now covers for a rapist in the White House, ending his blathering rant about the fact that the Ukraine whistleblower wouldn’t be testifying at the impeachment hearings:

“There’s one witness, one witness that they won’t bring in front of us, they won’t bring in front of the American people, and that’s the guy who started it all, the whistleblower.”

I saw this bit, and poor Jim Jordan, of the thinning hair and whiny deliver, looked like the lapdog of a bully hoping to please his master.
Peter Welch, Democratic Congressman, agreeing with Jordan about one witness hiding from the proceedings:

“I say to my colleague [Jim Jordan], I would be glad to have the person who started it all come in and testify. President _____ is welcome to take a seat right there.”

Snap!
