I Didn't Say It ... But Frst ...

Look what arrived at my doorstep this afternoon! I cannot wait to read San Geraldo’s story, as well as Mitch’s story, and their story … If you need me, I’ll be reading!

Tim Walz, Democrat Governor of Minnesota, has put the Minnesota National Guard on standby following an ICE gent’s murder of a woman in Minneapolis and has urged Minnesotans to remain peaceful while criticizing the Fascist Regime’s lies:

“We do not need any further help from the federal government. To [Cankles] and [DogKiller]: You‘ve done enough. I want Minnesotans to hear this from me: The desire to get out in the protest and to speak up to this administration of how wrong this is, that is a patriotic duty at this point in time, but it needs to be done safely. I feel your anger, I am angry. They want a show, we can't give it to them."

Stay strong, stay peaceful, and show this regime that we will stand against their fascist tactics and state sanctioned murder.

Resist with your voice and your vote!

Mark Kelly, Democrat Senator from Arizona,  forcefully rejected DUI hire Pete Hegseth’s censure over his “illegal orders” comments, calling it on Free Speech and on generations of service members who have earned their rank through sacrifice:

“Over twenty-five years in the U.S. Navy, thirty-nine combat missions, and four missions to space, I risked my life for this country and to defend our Constitution – including the First Amendment rights of every American to speak out. I never expected that the President of the United States and the Secretary of Defense would attack me for doing exactly that. My rank and retirement are things that I earned through my service and sacrifice for this country. I got shot at. I missed holidays and birthdays. I commanded a space shuttle mission while my wife Gabby recovered from a gunshot wound to the head—all while proudly wearing the American flag on my shoulder. [But] Pete Hegseth wants to send the message to every single retired servicemember that if they say something he or [Cankles] doesn’t like, they will come after them the same way. It’s outrageous and it is wrong. There is nothing more un-American than that. If Pete Hegseth, the most unqualified Secretary of Defense in our country’s history, thinks he can intimidate me with a censure or threats to demote me or prosecute me, he still doesn’t get it. I will fight this with everything I’ve got—not for myself, but to send a message back that Pete Hegseth and [Cankles] don’t get to decide what Americans in this country get to say about their government.”

Mark Kelly is a hero; Hegseth is an adulterous drunk while Cankles is a draft-dodging rapist.

I stand with Kelly.

Chris Murphy, Democrat Senator from Connecticut, on the criminal White House and the attack on Venezuela:

“[Cankles] thinks he is above the law. He steals from taxpayers. He thumbs his nose at the law. And now he is starting an illegal war with Venezuela that American didn’t ask for and has nothing to do with our security. How does going to war in South America help regular Americans who are struggling? How does this do anything about drugs entering the US when Venezuela produces no fentanyl? What is the actual security threat to the United States? And what happens next in Venezuela? He cannot answer these questions—and that’s why there was no briefing to Congress to explain this action, and no briefing scheduled. And Maduro’s illegitimate election does not give the president the power to invade without Congressional approval, not does it create ma national security justification. That contention is laughable. This is about satisfying [his] vanity; making good on the long-standing neocon grudge against Maduro, enriching [Cankles’] oil industry backers and distracting voters from Epstein and rising costs.”

Did anyone ever think a morally bankrupt con artist would ever be elected president … twice?

Did anyone ever think that America would ever attack another country without cause, without Congressional approval, just for money?

We got the war because we elected a draft-dodging criminal.

Pete Buttigieg, former Transportation Secretary and future President of the United States, speaking truth:

“It’s an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president—failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home—decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to ‘run’ a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one. As of this week, millions of Americans are now paying thousands more for health insurance. If the President and Congressional GOP think Washington has the capacity to ‘run’ Venezuela right now, why won't they fix the insurance cost crisis they've created here at home?”

The country is in turmoil because of one man and hist goose-stepping group of lapdogs and sycophants and they want you to believe they can run another country?

photo

Gustavo Petro, President of Columbia, on the invasion of Venezuela and the threats against other South American countries by a little dick-tater:

“A clan of pedophiles wants to destroy our democracy. To keep Epstein’s list from coming out. They send warships to kill fishermen and threaten our neighbor for their oil.”

All to save a child raping predator from prison.

That’s the legacy of the GOP going forward.

Jacob Frey, Democrat Mayor of Minneapolis, where Renee Nicole Good was murdered by an inept, untrained, lunatic with a gun and a face mask:

“I have a message for ICE—get the fuck out of Minneapolis. We do not want you here. People are being hurt. Families are being ripped apart. And now [Renee Nicole Good] is dead. That’s on you. It’s also on you to leave.”

We all knew this was going to happen at some point when you allow an inept, foolish, out of control Kristi Noem play sheriff and hire the untrained and uneducated dregs of society to go after anyone who doesn’t look white.

We all knew someone would die.

This is Kristi Noem’s fault, and Cankles, and the shooter, Jonathan Ross, needs to be arrested.

I Didn't Say It ...

Serena Rice, ordained pastor in the Evangelical Lutheran Church, on the power of visibility for trans individuals:

“Have you ever attended an elementary school performance and noticed the kids who enter the stage, anxiously search the audience for their people, and then break out into a beaming grin as soon as they make eye contact? These adorable little humans haven't done anything beyond entering the stage. However, they still feel proud of themselves because the people they care about can see them. Then there is the biblical theme of being seen by God. It is not as frequent as the theme of being heard by God, but we can notice it especially with people who are used to being overlooked. Think of Mary's Magnificat … Mary, a young peasant girl at the bottom of her society's social ladder, exults that God ‘looked with favor on your servant.’ … [Being] seen was the catalyst for dramatic shifts in their life trajectories. Their lives were changed because God saw them. For me personally, as a Christian pastor and mother of a trans child, the question of being seen has particular weight. In many ways, it would be much easier and safer not to be seen. According to the loudest voices coming from American Christianity, my colleagues and siblings in Christ see my child's identity as an abomination. Being visible with my family's truth would be enough to get me fired by many congregations and even kicked out of some denominations. Thankfully, I've received tremendous support from my church. I am aware of the privilege of my experience. I understand why many people feel the need to hide. But I also know that hiding would be a violation of my integrity and my faith. My son chose a special line from one of our favorite authors, Alice Oseman, for his senior quote in the yearbook this year: ‘Never let anyone make you disappear.’ There have been times, including at the high school from which he will be graduating in a few months, when bigoted people have wanted to make him disappear. Daily, his courage to show up as his true self is among the most inspiring things I have ever witnessed. He has taught me the power of unapologetic visibility. Being seen, insisting on visibility, is not a matter of ego, ‘wokeness,’ or forcing one's identity on other people. It is a matter of basic human dignity. It is the instinctive understanding that being seen for who we are is essential to being valued for who we are. This year of all years, 2025, has witnessed an unprecedented number of bills and policy changes being pushed to try to remove human rights protections for trans people. It has also been a year when many who used to speak up for the trans community are walking away from advocacy for trans people. Whether they blame recent political losses on this advocacy or not, trans people are facing intense pressure to be invisible. As the mother of a trans youth, I know that I am hardly unbiased when it comes to the human dignity of trans people. Still, I do not think God is unbiased either, because every single trans person in the world is made in the image of God. They are made in God's image and their trans image is not a mistake. God made them trans on purpose. They beautifully teach the world about the beauty and power of breaking binary categories that try to hide God's diverse creativity. Trans people need to be visible for their dignity, but the rest of us need them to be visible so that we can see the face of God in them. We will never know the fullness of God if we hide them.”

Perfection. People just want to be seen as they are and why is that wrong? It's respect for others; it's kindness. It's not wrong.

Chris Murphy, Connecticut Democrat Senator, during his opening remarks when Secretary Noem, AKA Border Barbie, testified before the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Homeland Security:

“I say this with seriousness and respect, but your department is out of control. You’re spending like you don’t have a budget … running out of money for this fiscal year … [and] illegally refusing to spend funds that have been authorized by this Congress and appropriated by this committee … You are on track to trigger the anti-deficiency act … This is a rare occurrence and it is wildly illegal … You may not think that Congress has allotted enough money to ICE, but the Constitution and the federal law does not allow you to spend more money than you have been given or to invent money. This obsession with spending at the border has left the country unprotected elsewhere. The security threats … are higher, not lower, since [The Felon] came to office … Your myopia about the border fueled by [The Felon]’s prejudice against people who speak a different language [has] shattered most of this country’s important defenses … You are ignoring the immigration laws of this nation, implementing a brand-new immigration system that you have invented that has little relation to the statutes that you are required to follow as spelled out in your oath of office. You are routinely violating the rights of immigrants who may not be citizens, but whether you like it or not, they have constitutional and statutory rights when they reside in the United States. Your agency acts as if laws don’t matter, as if the election gave you some mandate to violate the Constitution and the laws passed by this Congress. It did not give you that mandate … When Congress appropriates funds for a specific purpose the administration has no discretion whether or not to spend that money unless you go through a specific process with this committee … The first is a shelter and services program. Senator Britt may want to zero that account out, but that account is funded in a bipartisan way. You may not like the program. Your policy is to treat migrants badly. I think that’s abhorrent, but it doesn’t matter that you don’t like the program. You cannot cancel spending in this program, and you cannot use the funds, as you have, to fund other things, like ICE. You have also cancelled citizenship and integration grants, which help lawful permanent residents become citizens, helping them take the citizenship test. I know your goal is to try to make life as hard as possible for immigrants, but that goal is not broadly shared by the American public. That’s why Congress, in a bipartisan way, for decades has funded this program to help immigrants become citizens. Now let’s talk about why encounters at the southern border are down so much. This is clearly going to be your primary talking point today. You will tell us that it represents as success. But the prime reason why encounters are down is because you are brazenly violating the law every hour of every day … [by] refusing to allow people showing up at the southern border to apply for asylum. I acknowledge that you don’t believe that people should be allowed to apply for asylum, but the White House doesn’t get to choose that … [Our] asylum law is a bipartisan commitment, an effort to correct for our nation’s unconscionable decision to deny entry to Jews to this country who were being hunted and killed by the Nazis … [Let’s]  talk about these disappearances. In an autocratic society, people who the regime does not like or who are protesting the regime are often picked up off the street, and spirited away, often to open-ended detention. Sometimes they’re never seen again. What you are doing, both to individuals who have legal rights to stay here, like Kilmar Abrego Garcia, or students who are just protesting [The Felon]’s policies, is immoral and … illegal. You have no right to deport a student visa holder with no due process simply because they have spoken in a way that offends the President … We as an appropriations committee worked interminable hours to write and pass this budget, and so we make ourselves irrelevant when we allow the administration to ignore what we have decided. And then when we look the other way when the administration rounds up immigrants who are here illegally and have committed no offenses worthy of detainment, we also do potential irreversible damage to the Constitution. These should not be partisan concerns—destroying the power of Congress, eroding individuals’ Constitutional rights. This should matter to both parties.”

This is what we need: more outrage, more speaking truth to power, more resistance.

Liev Schreiber, actor, on his own trans child, Kai, embracing her identity, at gala hosted by the Ali Forney Center, which provides housing and support for homeless LGBTQIA+ youth:

“Kai was always who Kai is but I suppose the most profound moment was her asking us to change her pronouns. [It] didn’t feel like that big of a deal because Kai had been feminine for so long. Kai is such a fighter. It’s important that she [says], ‘Hey, I am trans’ and ‘Look at me’ and ‘F–k you. F–k off.' [Now] I don’t know the answer for your kid. I don’t know what it’s like for you to be a trans dad. I don’t know how you were brought up. I don’t know what religion you encountered or what your spirituality is. And for me to tell you what I think about my kid feels like an overstep. I guess if I would say anything to someone who’s having trouble with their trans teen or their adolescent trans kid, it’s, ‘Teenagers are a f–king headache. They’re hard. It doesn’t matter whether they’re trans or not because you’ll come out of this,' but a trans teen is going to be a teen. They’re such a pain in the ass so much of the time, and Kai is as feisty and outspoken as they come. I don’t like to dwell on it too much; to some degree, I feel like I don’t want to overcook that fear or that anxiety. There’s enough in the world to be anxious and afraid about. This isn’t just about representing the trans community. This is actually a community of people who don’t have great resources, who don’t have access to help, who aren’t being protected and looked after by their families. These are people who are being rejected. These are people who are experiencing the harshest version of humanity that we can offer, and some of them are not surviving it.”

Trans kids, trans teens, are like any other kid, any other teen, any other person, just asking to be seen and respected.

Is that too much?

I Didn't Say It ...

Pete Buttigieg, former Secretary of Transportation and hopefully a future President of the United States, on The Felon’s moronic response to a plane crash and loss of life:

 “Despicable. As families grieve, [he] should be leading, not lying. We put safety first, drove down close calls, grew Air Traffic Control, and had zero commercial airline crash fatalities out of millions of flights on our watch. [The Felon] now oversees the military and the FAA. One of his first acts was to fire and suspend some of the key personnel who helped keep our skies safe. Time for the President to show actual leadership and explain what he will do to prevent this from happening again.”

Sadly, his sociopathy and narcissism won’t allow him to actually lead, or do the right thing, or worry about this happening again.

Resist.

Doechii, at the Grammys winning Best Rap Album—and becoming only the third woman to do so—to the next generation:

"I know that there is some Black girl out there, so many Black women out there that are watching me right now and I wanna tell you, you can do it. Anything is possible. Don't allow anybody to project any stereotypes on you that tell you that you can't be here. You are exactly who you need to be, to be right where you are and I’m a testimony"

All it takes for history to move forward is for someone to take a step.

photo

Chris Murphy, Connecticut Democrat Senator, about the Leon Skum and the USAID crisis:

“We will use every power that we have at our disposal in the United States Senate. My colleagues will do the same thing in the House. This is a constitutional crisis that we are in today. Let’s call it what it is! The people get to decide how we defend the United States of America. The people get to decide how their taxpayer money is spent. Elon Musk does not get to decide. We are weaker today than we were yesterday. China sees that. Russia sees that and they will take advantage. Elon Musk makes billions on his dealings with China and China is cheering at his actions today. Our job and your job together is to raise our voices, raise the alarm so that this crisis is emboldening of our enemies doesn’t last a second longer than it has to.”

The Democrats need to strap on their balls and fight this asshat Skum because nothing he does is for the good of America it’s for the good of his ego and bank account; he needs to be stopped.

photo

Alicia Keys, accepting the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award at the 2025 Grammys, calling out The Felon’s anti-DEI stance:

“This is not the time to shut down the diversity of voices. We’ve seen on this stage, talented, hardworking people from different backgrounds with different points of view, and it changes the game. DEI is not a threat—it’s a gift. The more voices, the more powerful the sound. When destructive forces try to burn us down, we rise from the ashes like a phoenix and as you see tonight, music is the unstoppable language that connects us all, it’s so beautiful. “It's so beautiful. Keep showing up with compassion, with empathy, what I call soul care. Keep opening the doors. The dreams that the world is ought to be, a dream that the world as is ought to be.”

Standing against DEI is standing for racism and sexism and ageism and homophobia; it’s that simple.

photo

Daniel Dale, CNN fact checker, on The Felon’s lies about DEI and Joe Biden and that crash in DC:

“[He] has made clear he has less than zero evidence that the FAA’s hiring of people with disabilities contributed to yesterday’s crash, so this whole conversation is a non-sequitur. But since he has started the conversation, some facts. The same FAA website language [The Felon] blasted today, about hiring people with intellectual and psychiatric disabilities and other significant ‘targeted’ disabilities, was on the FAA website throughout his first presidency. In addition, the FAA under [his watch] launched and repeatedly promoted a pilot program to hire (capable, qualified) people with targeted disabilities in air traffic control positions. The Department of Transportation has pushed at least since the W. Bush administration to hire more people with targeted disabilities … and the FAA repeatedly said during [his] first term that it’d continue to do so, emphasizing, as it did under Biden, that they’d have to meet the qualifications for the posts. The ‘January 14’ Fox News article [The Felon] cited today as evidence of a last-minute Biden FAA diversity hiring push right before [he] came back to office? It was actually published a year ago—January 14, 2024. Again, it was criticizing the same language that had been on the FAA website since at least 2013.”

What’s this? An actual person working for CNN who still has a spine and speaks up?

Bravo!

photos

Hakeem Jeffries, House Minority Leader, trashing The Felon for his remarks following that deadly crash:

"It’s a very irresponsible statement that was made by the president. Bodies are still being pulled from the Potomac, children were killed, future ice-skating Olympians were killed, future leaders in Wichita, Kansas, and beyond were killed as a result of this tragedy. We don’t need misdirection and we don’t need misinformation coming from the highest office in the land. We need integrity, we need decency, we need leadership. There is not a scintilla of evidence that exists to suggest that women and people of color are to blame for the tragedy that took place. And it was shameful."

There is of course zero truth to The Felon's claims but these lies serve two purposes for him—

First, they excite his racist base who think that women and people of color are inherently inferior and unqualified for important jobs.

Second, they allow The Felon to distract us from the fact that at the time of the crash there was no Federal Aviation Administration leader since the previous holder of that position, Michael Whitaker, was forced out by Elon Musk—who paid $200M for The Felon’s election win—for daring to enforce regulations on SpaceX.

Again, We The People need to get loud, and our Democratic leaders need to get loud, and we need to remind our Democratic leaders that if they aren’t going to stand against this regime, then there will be no money from We The People coming into their campaign coffers.

Don’t ask for my money and then do nothing.

Resist.

I Didn't Say It

President Biden, on those dead children, victims of yet another mass shooting in America:

"I had hoped when I became president I would not have to do this—again. Another massacre. Uvalde, Texas. An elementary school. Beautiful, innocent second, third and fourth graders. And how many scores of little children who witnessed what happened—see their friends die, as if they're in a battlefield, for God's sake. They'll live with it the rest of their lives. What struck me on that 17-hour flight [Biden was returning from Asia] what struck me was these kinds of mass shootings rarely happen anywhere else in the world. Why? They have mental health problems. They have domestic disputes in other countries. They have people who are lost, but these kinds of mass shootings never happen with the kind of frequency they happen in America. Why? Why are we willing to live with this carnage? As a nation, we have to ask, when in God's name are we going to stand up to the gun lobby? When in God's name will we do what we all know in our gut needs to be done?”

When all of you in Washington finally stand up; when those of you who want comprehensive, rational gun control call out the other side for offering no solutions.

When you decide to do something.

photo

Jimmy Kimmel, forgoing his usual monologue to speak about another mass shooting in The United States of Guns:

"Here we are again, on another day of mourning in this country. Once again, we grieve for the little boys and girls whose lives have been ended and whose families have been destroyed. While our leaders on the right—the Americans in Congress and at Fox News and these other outlets—warn us not to politicize this, they immediately criticize our President for even speaking about doing something to stop it, because they don't want to speak about it. Because they know what they've done and they know what they haven't done, and they know that it's indefensible. So they'd rather sweep this under the rug. [They] aren't listening to us. They're listening to the NRA. They're listening to the people who write them checks, who keep them in power because that's the way politics work. That's the idea we settle on, that's what we tell ourselves, but it doesn't have to be that way. Not for this. This is a time to be loud—and to stay loud—and not stop until we fix this. Some people say this is a mental health problem. Others say it's a gun problem. It is both, and it can be both. So let's work on both of those. So if you care about this—and we all do, doesn't matter what party we vote for, we all care about this—we need to make sure that we do everything we can ... to make sure that unless they do something drastic that let's make sure that not one of any of these politicians ever holds office again."

Anyone in public offers who expresses their grief and offers their prayers and then does not one thing about guns, needs to be voted out of office permanently.

photo

Greg Abbott, Republican governor of Texas, saying the Uvalde school murderer had a "mental health challenge":

"We as a state, we as a society, need to do a better job with mental health."

Just last month Greg Abbott slashed $211 million from the department that oversees mental health programs. Texas now ranks dead last—pun intended—out of all 50 states and the District of Columbia for overall access to mental health care.

Greg Abbott was scheduled to speak at an upcoming NRA event but pulled out at the last minute in an effort to make it seem like he gives a flying fuck about dead kids; let’s be clear, he does not.

photo

Chris Murphy, Democrat Senator from Connecticut, speaking on the Senate floor begging the Republicans to act against gun violence:

"I’m here on this floor to beg, to literally get down on my hands and knees and beg my colleagues. Find a path forward here. Work with us to find a way to pass laws that make this less likely. This only happens in this country and nowhere else. Nowhere else do little kids go to school thinking that they might be shot that day. Nowhere else do parents have to talk to their kids as I have had to do about why they got locked into a bathroom and told to be quiet for five minutes just in case a bad man entered that building. Nowhere else does that happen except here in the United States of America. And it is a choice. It is our choice to let it continue."

The GOP talks about being pro-family, pro-children, but when it comes to children being murdered in schools, their offer the solutions of arming teachers, having more active shooter drills, or locking the kids inside the building.

Nothing about the guns.

photo

Ted Cruz, Republican Senator from Texas and NRA bitchboy, on the shootings, which have left his hands and soul covered in the blood of children:

“Heidi and I are fervently lifting up in prayer the children and families in the horrific shooting in Uvalde. We are in close contact with local officials, but the precise details are still unfolding. Thank you to the heroic law enforcement and first responders for acting so swiftly.”

Cruz said, the next day:

"When there's a murderer of this kind, you see politicians try to politicize it, you see Democrats and a lot of folks in the media whose immediate solution is to try to restrict the constitutional rights of law-abiding citizens. We are seeing way too many of these horrific mass murders. And we need to devote far more law enforcement resources to stopping violent criminals preventing these kinds of absolute acts of evil."

First off, Rafael, your prayers are hollow when you take money from the very people who flood our streets with guns.

Your prayers mean nothing when you block even the discussion of gun control.

You don’t care about dead children; you care about political office.

Fuck completely off.

photo

Steve Kerr, coach for the Warriors basketball team, refused to talk about basketball before the team’s playoff game against the Mavericks, but instead spoke of murdered children in the United Sates of Guns:

“Since we left shoot-around, 14 children were killed 400 miles from here and a teacher [now 19 children and 2 teachers dead]. And in the last 10 days, we’ve had elderly Black people killed in a supermarket in Buffalo, we’ve had Asian churchgoers killed in southern California, and now we have children murdered at school. When are we going to do something? I’m tired, I’m so tired of getting up here and offering condolences to the devastated families that are out there. I’m tired of the moments of silence.”

Moments of silence, thoughts and prayers, lifting people up in prayer, will not save the life of one American.

Gun control, and better access to mental health care, together, can start to solve the problem.

photo

Barack Obama, former President, speaking out about the shooting:

“Michelle and I grieve with the families in Uvalde, who are experiencing pain no one should have to bear. We’re also angry for them. Nearly ten years after Sandy Hook—and ten days after Buffalo—our country is paralyzed, not by fear, but by a gun lobby and a political party that have shown no willingness to act in any way that might help prevent these tragedies. It’s long past time for action, any kind of action. And it’s another tragedy—a quieter but no less tragic one—for families to wait another day. Across the country, parents are putting their children to bed, reading stories, singing lullabies—and in the back of their minds, they’re worried about what might happen tomorrow after they drop their kids off at school, or take them to a grocery store or any other public space. May God bless the memory of the victims, and in the words of Scripture, heal the brokenhearted and bind up their wounds.”

My president; remember he was the one that the GOP and the NRA said was coming for your guns, and yet he confiscated not one weapon. The Democrats don’t want your guns, we want gun safety, gun responsibility, guns not in the hands of the mentally ill or the morally outraged.

I Didn't Say It

Chris Murphy, Democratic Senator from Connecticut, during a Senate hearing reviewing the powers of the president to order a nuclear strike:

"We are concerned that the President of the United States is so unstable, is so volatile, has a decision-making process that is so quixotic, that he might order a nuclear weapons strike that is wildly out of step with U.S. national security interests."

Seriously. We need to stop the Fat Bastard before he gets his idle feelings hurt and drops a bomb on someone … literally!
Sandy Rios, Fox bimbo and Hate Group, the American Family Association, radio host, defending child rape:

“Honestly, do you think there’s a person alive on the planet—certainly, I’ll limit it a little bit, I will say any man listening to my voice—that doesn’t have something in his past, in his box of secrets, that he’s ashamed of sexually? Especially, let’s just say, beginning in the ‘60s. I mean, look I’m not excusing—I’m just saying if a person can be destroyed over something he did 37 years ago that was wrong and sinful? Where did we get to point where the standard for Christians is that there is never been anything ever? That they’ve lived a perfect life? I just don’t understand that.”

Um, Sandy, you idiot, Moore didn’t steal a candy bar thirty-seven years ago; he sexually assaulted a minor, and has been accused of sexually assaulting other women as well.
Those are not little secrets that we all have, well, maybe except for Roy Moore, and perhaps you?
Mitch McConnell, GOP lapdog from Kentucky and Senate Majority Leader, admitting he "misspoke" when he said that "nobody in the middle class is going to get a tax increase":

"I misspoke on that. You can't guarantee that absolutely no one sees a tax increase, but what we are doing is targeting levels of income and looking at the average in those levels and the average will be tax relief for the average taxpayer in each of those segments."

'I misspoke' is the new ‘I lied.’ And McConnell lies every single time his little turtle yap flaps.
Mo Brooks, GOP Congressman from Huntsville, Alabama, sticking with Roy Moore because of the conservative agenda:

“America faces huge challenges that are vastly more important than contested sexual allegations from four decades ago. Who will vote in America’s best interests on Supreme Court justices, deficit and debt, economic growth, border security, national defense, and the like? Socialist Democrat Doug Jones will vote wrong. Roy Moore will vote right. Hence, I will vote for Roy Moore.”

There you have it, Alabama, one of your own elected officials is putting the GOP agenda ahead of a sexual predator because, I’m guessing, being a sexual predator is okay as long as you get a conservative on the bench somewhere?
Hey Mo? Fuck off.
Winona Ryder, on being bullied in high school and then meeting one of her bullies years later:

“I was wearing an old Salvation Army shop boy’s suit. As I went to the bathroom I heard people saying, ‘Hey, faggot.’ They slammed my head into a locker. I fell to the ground and they started to kick the shit out of me. I had to have stitches. The school kicked me out, not the bullies … Years later, I went to a coffee shop and I ran into one of the girls who’d kicked me, and she said, ‘Winona, Winona, can I have your autograph?’ And I said, ‘Do you remember me? Remember in seventh grade you beat up that kid?’ And she said, ‘Kind of.’ And I said, ‘That was me. Go fuck yourself.'”

Bravo! Sure, the girl might have felt remorse for what she’d done, but she didn’t feel stitches and kicks; she didn’t feel “kicked out of school” and she didn’t feel home-schooled for a year because the school tolerates bullies but not the bullied.
E.W. Jackson, a “Christian” radio host, supporting pedophile Roy Moore:

“You don’t ever want to give these leftists another head to mount on their mantel. They’re head-hunters, they like to destroy people, they like to destroy Christian conservatives, particularly. They’re filled with hatred and animosity and they love killing folks. I’m serious, folks. I think a lot of ’em would kill people physically if they thought they could get away with it. But they can’t, for the most part; they don’t want to go to jail so what they do is they try to kill people metaphorically, destroy them, destroy their reputation, destroy their career, destroy their livelihood, just make them suffer. That’s the kind of hatred they have for people of my ilk.”

Um, excuse me, douchebag? I don’t hate Christians. I hate pompous gasbags who molest little girls them hide because their so-called faith; I hate conservatives who work against LGBT rights but tap their toes in men’s room stalls looking for a handie; I hate Christian conservatives who spew their own values as a kind of moral code while their screwing another man’s wife.
And as for you, douchebag, let’s take a peek into your past … like when you said God will punish people who voted for trans lawmaker Danica Roem; like when you blamed the Charleston shooting on The Gays and Obama; like when you said Christians must b willing to die to stop marriage equality; like when you petition to legalize LGBT discrimination; like when  you work to make being gay a crime.
Clearly, you’re the one filled with hate, asshat.
Armie Hammer, saying he had a transformative experience playing Oliver in Call Me By Your Name and saying he “fell in love” with his director Luca Guadagnino:

“I’ve never had such an emotional journey with a director. I’ve never even considered directors to be emotional people! I don’t even know if I’ve worked with a director who even cared if I was mad at them before. It was more like, ‘Shut up and stand on your mark and do your job.’ [As we finished production] everybody was sort of lashing out because this thing was ending and nobody wanted it to. Honestly, I think I had fallen in love with Luca.”

Well, I don’t know about falling in love with Luca, but if Armie Hammer said he’d fallen in love with me ::: swoooooon::: it would never be over!
Just sayin’.
Luca Guadagnino, Hammer’s director, on their inevitable “breakup”:

“For reasons that could be personal to Armie, I had the feeling that he was pulling away. The movie wasn’t finished, and I had to bring him back. For me to make a movie, it’s really creating a family. Having a very profound familial bond with the people I’m doing the movies with, where you literally and constantly fall in love with all of them. Sometimes, this emotional flow can be very intense. Very! As it was with Armie. And then it can be very complicated.”

Lucky bastard.
Seth Meyers, on the “dumbest” _____:

“While [President] _____ is focused on bragging about his endurance, back here at home, his inner-circle is dealing with yet more information about potential involvement in Russian election meddling. And you’ll never guess which _____ family member is once again mixed up in all of it– I’ll give you a hint. He has the same name as a famous idiot.”

Nope, we were all wrong; it wasn’t Eric, it’s Junior who is The Dumbest _____. And in that family, that’s saying a lot!
