Carlos and I watched the return of Kimmel to the airwaves on Tuesday night and he killed his monologue, making it funny and emotional and heartfelt and defiant. We stayed watching after the monologue when he had actor Glen Powell on and Carlos’ utter lack of Pop Culture knowledge first had him asking if Powell was a football player.

“No, he’s an actor.”

“But he’s related to Colin Powell?”

“You think he’s related to Colin Powell because they have the same last name?”

“Maybe.”

“Well, by your logic then you’re related to Kamala Harris.”

“aaaaaaah, Cousin Kamala.”

Seriously; he’s lucky I didn’t have my cartoon frying pan!

This Tuxedo Says is from April 2021:

What? Y’all know Tuxedo has the Common Sense. It’s a shame the two-legged inhabitants of the planet don’t always follow his lead.

Just a note to Erika Kirk, if you feel the need to have merch tables at your husband’s memorial, you are a grifting piece of sh*t.

That’s all.

There are people who cannot start their day without a cup of coffee and other people that also need cakes to get motivated.

A little lesson in facts for the dumbasses trying to handle healthcare in this country: Autism was first discovered in 1911 but Tylenol wasn’t invented until 1950.

Here's a photo of Good Christian and Minister of Government Lies, KaroLying Leavitt, who demands people treat her racist rapist con man boss with respect, ignoring protocol while in England with Cankles and wearing an off-the-shoulder, off-the-rack, bargain bin, Casual Corner cheap flimsy piece of cloth to a royal dinner and decided it was good to allow her nipples some exposure.

The headlights were on but no one's driving.

While honoring Chris Wallace at his Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony Arnold Schwarzenegger tried making a joke about ex-wife Maria Shriver, saying:

“I know a lot about journalists. I’ve been interviewed—you can imagine, in my lifetime—by thousands and thousands of journalists, but not only that, I was also married to a journalist. [And] the only difference between Chris and Maria is that Chris has never taken half my money.”

Arnold forgot to mention that his wife took half his money because [A] California is a community property state and [2] She found out after nearly 25 years of marriage that her husband had been schtupping the housekeeper and the pair had a grown son.

Oh Arnold, you should have kept your mouth and your pants zipped.

Billionaire philanthropist MacKenzie Scott donated $70 million to the UNCF, as the nation’s largest private provider of scholarships to minority students works to raise $1 billion to strengthen all 37 of its Historically Black Colleges and Universities [HBCuS].

The gift is one of Scott’s largest single donations ever and among the first to be publicly disclosed in 2025. Famously private, Scott only discusses her donations through her website and does not confirm them until after the recipients do.

Be a MacKenzie and not a Bezos.

Andrew Burnap is an American actor known for his stage performances in the Public Theatre's revivals of King Lear in 2014 and Troilus and Cressida in 2016. He won a Tony Award for Best Actor in a Play for his role as Toby Darling in The Inheritance so … Would You Hit It?

Lil Pump, rapper,  lashing out at Vice President Kamala Harris:

“I swear to god, on my dad’s grave, if this stupid ass bitch Kamala Harris wins the fucking election, I’m moving out of America, boy, I swear on everything.”

I’d help you pack, but I think all you have will fit into a grocery sack.

Apparently, Lil, may I call you Lil, got The Felon’s mugshot tattooed on his thigh which must be a special kind of love. Not on The Felon’s side because he introduced the rapper at a rally in 2020 as “Little Pimp.”

Lil later revealed that he didn’t even vote in 2020.

Arnold Schwarzenegger, responding to an internet troll who shared their ignorance online:

“As stupid and evil as this comment is, I’m not going to delete it, or ban you [yet] because it’s a teachable moment. You have two possible paths ahead. Right now, I guarantee you that these athletes have more courage, compassion, brains, skill—actually more of every possible human quality than you. So take their path—you could learn from them, and try to challenge yourself, to give back, to add something to the world. Or you can stay on your path, and keep being a sad, pitiful, jealous, internet troll who adds nothing to the world but mocks anyone who does out of small-minded jealousy. I know what you really want is attention, so let me be clear. If you choose to keep going this way, no one will ever remember you.”

This is what the Terminator does when you take the word “retard” to social media to belittle athletes at the Special Olympics.

Tim Walz, on Project 2025:

“I coached football long enough to know that, when somebody draws up a playbook, they plan on using it.”

It’s that simple; the other side can say they know nothing about it, but they helped create it and put people to work on it so they are never going to just toss it away.

Andrew McCabe, former FBI Director, on reports that The Felon will sue the DOJ for $100 million over the “raid” at Mar-Illegal:

“This is a political move, not really so much of a legal move. There’s many checks and balances built into our justice system, as you know. One of them is the government doesn’t ever take an action like this on their own. They go to court, and they prove to a judge that there’s probable cause to believe that there’s evidence in a particular location. That’s what happened here with Mar-A-Lago … It’s laughable. The language we’ve seen from the lawsuit so far is literally laughable. They say that there is some sort of duty or requirement on the FBI to conduct this sort of activity only with, under the consent of, or with the consent of the person being investigated. That’s actually not a thing. You’re not required to do that. They spent months—half a year, in fact—pursuing, trying to get those documents back with the participation and the consent of [The Felon] and his representatives. Numerous lawyers they consulted with. And in fact, at one point, [The Felon] team looked at what they had and only gave some of it back, therefore making the decision to continue to retain the rest of it, which we now know had, you know, dozens and dozens of classified documents in it. So it’s ridiculous. It’s not going anywhere. And the claims in the suit themselves are absurd.”

This is what happens when a self-entitled one-percenter thinks he’s above the law.

Lock.Him.Up.

Adam Kinzinger, former GOP representative, standing for country over party:

“The attacks on Walz have proven to be not only false but also disgusting. I will debunk the attacks that have been floating around. But first, keep one thing in mind: [The Felon] not only didn’t serve in the military, but he actively avoided service by claiming he had “bone spurs”—a diagnosis he received from a doctor who rented his office from [The Felon]’s father Fred that the doctor’s daughter later called a “favor.” … Governor Walz put in his paperwork for retirement before his unit received alert orders for deployment. In fact, he served for four years AFTER 9/11 and two years after the Iraq War began. He did not leave at the first sign of combat. He stayed well past when he could have retired at 20 years. He served as a CSM, and after retiring, was only reduced because he had not completed his professional military education and hadn’t served in that rank long enough to retire in it. To retire at a rank, you must have held it for several years.”

Stack that up against JD Vance’s four years in the secretarial pool, and The Felon’s sore feet.

photo

Pete Buttigieg, Secretary of Transportation, exposing JD Vance … again:

“Let’s be clear, we’re the ones trying to get the Child Tax Credit expanded, and JD Vance couldn’t be bothered to show up ... and vote for it ... So if you want to talk about promoting children, promoting family, put your money where your mouth is. Same with a lot of other policies like paid family leave—something that Tim Walz delivered in Minnesota, something that the Biden-Harris administration sought to deliver for the American people. Right now, Republicans are blocking it, but … there’s something I think much bigger at play here. J.D. Vance is suddenly very particular about precision in speech and very concerned about honesty. He’s running with … somebody who has set records for lying in public life. [The Felon] just gave a press conference where fact-checkers estimate that he told 162 distortions or lies that, frankly, is just impressive in terms of being able to physically do that. It’s like the Olympics of lying. So maybe just because it’s Sunday morning, I can’t stop thinking about the scripture that says, how can you look at your brother and say, let me take the speck out of your eye when you have a plank in your own eye?”

Once again, Pete nails it.

J.Drag Vance is just another GOP liar talking out of both sides of his mouth.

Jesse Ventura, former Minnesota governor, endorsing Kamala Harris:

“I’m going to be selfish. A few years ago I got the opportunity to see the United States elect its first Black president. I didn’t think that could ever happen, and they even reelected him. Well, now I’m going to be selfish again. I’ve only got a few elections to go. I’m 73 years old now, so the window is closing. I want to be alive to see the first woman president of the United States of America. It’s time for a woman president. We men have screwed it up enough.”

That’s exactly what I’ve been saying for years … look where two hundred years of men has gotten us. Now let’s given women a shot.

I Didn't Say It

Fran Lebowitz, author and speaker, on the rise in racism and bigotry since Thing 45 ran for office in 2015:

“[Thing 45] allows people to express their racism and bigotry in a way that they haven’t been able to in quite a while and they really love him for that. It’s a shocking thing to realize people love their hatred more than they care about their own actual lives.”

Spot on. If you ask the MAGAts what thing 45 did for them, they will not be able to come up with an actual fact because all he did, and all he is doing now, and all he will ever do, is give voice to their fears and ignorance.

Bob Good, GOP Representative from Virgina, arguing that the GOP loses on abortion because they’re not extreme enough on the issue:

“We just came off of an election in Virginia. And the narrative now is, ‘Oh, abortion is a loser. We got to surrender on abortion. We got to give in on abortion. We’ve got to be like the Democrats on abortion. Then maybe we can win elections.’ I would argue what’s the point of winning elections if you’re not going to fight for life? But beyond that, what was Virginia’s position? What was the state of Virginia’s political leadership position on abortion? We’re okay with 94% of abortions because we want a 15-week ban. And the Democrats, the other side wants 100% of abortions. So we’re going to rally in the red areas and the conservatives and the red base to fight for 6% of abortions? And I submit that’s the reason why we had low red turnout in Virginia.”

Not extreme enough? The GOP wants to ban abortion in all instances including rape and incest. Yup, a man rapes his ten-year-old daughter and she is forced to give birth. That’s not extreme enough? The GOP wants to jail a woman who had a miscarriage in Ohio. That’s not extreme enough?

photo

Debbie Dingell, Democratic Representative from Michigan, on Mr-Former-Fake-One-Term-Twice-Impeached-Currently-Four-Time-Criminally-Indicted-Not-My-President-Gurl’s Christmas message:

“I think it was one of the most pathetic Christmas greetings I’ve heard when a former president of the United States who wants to return [to office] tells people on Christmas Day that they can rot in hell. After he went after me, quite frankly, there were men outside of my house with assault weapons and I have had threats. Hate and division are creeping into our communities far too easily. Violence is becoming normalized. Every last one of us has to stand up. We can disagree civilly [but] we need to respect every human being with dignity.”

Clearly Dingell doesn’t realize she, and this entire country, are dealing with a sociopathic narcissist. He has no soul, no dignity, no honor.

He’s a pig.

Nikki Haley, stepping into a shitstorm with her town hall answer about what caused the Civil War:

“I think it always comes down to the role of government and what the rights of the people are. And we will always stand by the fact that I think the government was intended to secure the rights and freedoms of the people. It was never meant to be all things to all people. Government doesn’t need to tell you how to live your life. They don’t need to tell you what you can and can’t do. They don’t need to be a part of your life. They need to make sure that you have freedom.”

Haley refused to mention slavery as a cause of the war, saying:

“What do you want me to say about slavery? Next question.”

She later said the question was from a Democrat plant in her audience, and then later said of course slavery was the cause of the Civil War.

This is America under the GOP; slavery was good; it was like a training school for slaves; it was on-the-job training. If we elect people like Nimrata Haley to office slavery will not be discussed in school as anything more than a blip in our history.

Nimrata can fuck all the way off; believe what she says, and not how she spins it later, and then spins it again, even later than that..

Arnold Schwarzenegger, former GOP governor of California, on voting in 2024:

“For the first time since I became a citizen in 1983, I will not vote for a Republican candidate for president. But as proud as I am to label myself a Republican, there is one label that I hold above all else—American. So I want to take a moment today to remind my fellow Americans that it is not only acceptable to choose your country over your party—it’s your duty.”

Hopefully, moderate Republicans and those who aren’t fully invested in the cult will hear these words and know that you sometimes have to take a stand for your country, even if your party loses power.

Otherwise, we’re going to lose it all.

Arnold Schwarzenegger, former California governor, speaking to the Russian people and soldiers:

“Your lives, your limbs, and your futures are being sacrificed for a senseless war condemned by the entire world. So every bullet you shoot, you shoot a brother or a sister. Every bomb or every shell that falls is falling not on an enemy but on a school or hospital or a home.”

Stop. Speak up. End this.

Ans that goes for you America, too.

Madison Cawthorn, Nazi youth poster boy, admitting he is a traitorous mother f%ker in a newly unearthed video of his call to Charlie Kirk’s podcast during the Capitol riot:

“I’m safe. As you know I believe in the Second Amendment as well as a lot of other members, so we are armed. We are in a safe location. I can’t disclose where. You know obviously having the wheelchair I am able to carry many, multiple weapons at one time. So you know, everyone around me is armed.”

So, he helped get weapons into a federal building during an insurrection?

Why isn’t this son of a bitch in cuffs?

William Barr, former Attorney General, stood by the idiotic false comments he made before the 2020 election that mail voting was vulnerable to fraud:

“My view is that in such a closely divided country with so much at stake, we have to keep strong protections against fraud and protect the integrity of the election, and I think when they are diluted and reduced—which they were—then people are not going to have confidence in the election, whether or not fraud occurs.”

So, he denounced Thing 45’s assertions of voter fraud  but says there was voter fraud even though the only voter fraud uncovered has been on the GOP side with MAGAts casting votes for Barr’s old boss. Have I got that queer, Bill,  you lying POS?

PS Bill has a book to sell, so staying stupid shit is getting him all kinds of press.

Bob Chapek, Walt Disney Co. CEO, apologizing to employees at the company for the company’s handling of Florida’s ‘Don’t Say Gay’ and said Disney would be pausing political donations in the state:

“Thank you to all who have reached out to me sharing your pain, frustration and sadness over the company’s response to the Florida ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill. Speaking to you, reading your messages, and meeting with you have helped me better understand how painful our silence was. It is clear that this is not just an issue about a bill in Florida, but instead yet another challenge to basic human rights. You needed me to be a stronger ally in the fight for equal rights and I let you down. I am sorry.”

Now, maybe to stand up for the LGBTQ+ Americans, rather than ‘pause’ donations, howsabout stopping all donations, to politicians and instead give to groups who can fight bigotry and hatred in this country.

Herschel Walker, former football player, Thing 45 devotee, and GOP Senate candidate for Georgia, sounding the idiot alarm:

“At one time, science said man came from apes, did it not? If that is true, why are there still apes? Think about it.”

Okay, Herschel, let’s go back to the fifth grade when we learned that humans did not evolve from the apes that you see at the zoom, but that humans and apes have a common—and now extinct—ancestor that lived roughly 10 million years ago.

Georgia? Do you want another representative of your state as stupid as  Marge Greene?

Tom Rice, GOP Congressman from South Carolina, slamming Thing 45 … yes, a South Carolina Republican slamming Thing 45:

“[Thing 45] is here because, like no one else I’ve ever met, he is consumed by spite. I took one vote he didn’t like and now he’s chosen to support a yes man candidate who has and will bow to anything he says, no matter what. If you want a Congressman who supports political violence in Ukraine or in the United States Capitol, who supports party over country, who supports a would-be tyrant over the Constitution, and who makes decisions based solely on re-election, then Russell Fry is your candidate.”

Huh … what was that one vote Thing 45 didn’t like? Was it when Rice crossed party lines and stood up for America by voting to impeach him following the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol?

Yes, it was.

Good for Tom Rice.

Dolly Parton, country legend, turning down induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame:

“I really do not want votes to be split because of me, so I must respectfully bow out. I do hope that the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame will understand and be willing to consider me again—if I’m ever worthy. This has, however, inspired me to put out a hopefully great rock ‘n’ roll album at some point in the future, which I have always wanted to do! My husband is a total rock ‘n’ roll freak, and has always encouraged me to do one. I wish all of the nominees good luck and thank you again for the compliment. Rock on!”

Dolly should be given every single award and induction, no matter what it might be. But, when Dolly says ‘Count me out,’ count her out.

But … when the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame released their list of nominees, they said the “diverse list” reflected artists that had a “profound impact on the sound of youth culture” which explains the inclusion of Parton, and so the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame  will continue with voting and keep Dolly’s name on the list.

Arnold Schwarzenegger, former governor of California, on anti-maskers:

“Screw your freedom, because with freedom comes obligations and responsibilities. We cannot just say, ‘I have the right to do X, Y and Z.’ When you affect other people, that is when it gets serious. You cannot say, ‘No one is going to tell me that I’m going to stop here, that I have to stop at this traffic light here. I’m going to go right through it.’ Then you kill someone else, and then it is your doing.”

I like the anger and the outrage but the MAGAts don’t seem to get the idea, even when their own family members are dropping like flies.

Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens quarterback, says he was infected twice with COVID-19 in the last eight months but remains noncommittal on getting the vaccine:

“I just got off the COVID list. I got to talk to my team about this and see how they feel about it. Keep learning as much as I can about it. We’ll go from there.”

I learned that 600,000+ Americans have died from this, but apparently that’s not enough information for Jackson. I hope his team kicks him to the curb so he doesn’t infect them since he’s such an easy target for the virus.

PS Judging by that photo, the first step is teaching Lamar how to wear a mask.

Johnny Weir, Olympic figure skater, out gay man and fabulous human, coming for one of Thing 45’s “lawyers, Jenna Ellis, who said this about Johnny’s clothing: ‘Bring back the days when boys cared about growing up to be actual men’:

“The man I’ve grown into is a human that embraces the strength of the man & woman who raised me to be myself. If you feel squashed by the boot of someone else’s beliefs, remember you are free to live your life the way YOU believe. Also, religion isn’t an excuse for hate.”

Methinks Jenna’s just a jealous angry wreck and needs to vent on something since her whole Big Lie lawsuit, and her large posterior, were kicked to the curb by the courts.

Jenna, honey, on your best day you will never be as fabulous as Johnny on his worst day.

Angel Bismark Curiel, Pose star, on challenging real-life transphobia after taking on the role of Papi on the FX series:

"There was an instance when I was on a set having shot, I think, the first or second season of Pose, where I was in a car with a driver and the driver said something extremely transphobic. I knew that this was a make-it-or-break-it moment, this was do or die, you had to check this. [I told him] ‘It’s because of gentlemen like [you] that trans women end up dead.’ I had to check that, and the way I checked that, I had to hold space with his boss, I had to hold space with him. I had to hold space with my boss, because that was the only way we were gonna say, 'Hey, it doesn’t matter what show I’m on, it doesn’t matter if I’m Lil Papi on Pose or not, this s**t is not OK and here’s why it’s not OK and how are we going to fix it, what are we going to do to make sure this gentleman knows that this is not OK?' Those are the hard conversations that need to be had."

Good on him for standing up and speaking up. You can’t change minds staying silent.

Sidenote: Curiel, who began dating Pose writer-director and Black trans woman Janet Mock in 2018, says his relationship with Mock helped inform his performance as Lil Papi, who is also a cisgender straight man in a relationship with a trans woman.

Emmanuel Macron, President of France, on new lockdowns in his country:

“I no longer have any intention of sacrificing my life, time, my freedom, and the adolescence of my daughters, as well as their right to study properly, for those who refuse to be vaccinated. This time, you stay home, not us.”

Seriously, why should those of us who have done the right thing, for ourselves and our fellow country men and women, be locking down and social distancing.

Let those who ignore facts stay home.

Pete Buttigieg, Transportation Secretary, schooling Fox News host Bret Baier on electric cars during an interview when Baier asked why Tesla CEO Elon Musk had not been invited to a White House meeting on tailpipe emissions:

“We were celebrating the other day the fact that we brought together labor leadership and the leadership of many of these employers of UAW. Now, what we are working on in our department and what we were announcing that day was tailpipe emissions standards. To their credit, an all-electric company like Tesla doesn’t even have tailpipes and that’s an exciting thing to see too.”

Tesla doesn’t have tailpipes.

Hillary Clinton, on removing _____ from office:

“Removing _____ from office is essential, and I believe he should be impeached [And] members of Congress who joined him in subverting our democracy should resign, and those who conspired with the domestic terrorists should be expelled immediately. But that alone won’t remove white supremacy and extremism from America.”

Keep in mind this woman was investigated for years over some emails and the GOP wants to ‘move on from  a president who incites insurrection.

photo

Jake Tapper,  host of CNN’s ‘State of the Union’, on _____’s apparent ‘love’ for the Capitol terrorists:

“The state of our union is utterly devastated after one of the darkest days in our nation’s history: a coup attempt, no longer bloodless, instigated by the president of the United States. The flags at the U.S. Capitol are at half-staff this morning for the police officer, Brian Sicknick, who was murdered this week, but they are not at half-staff at the White House, perhaps because officer Sicknick was the enemy of the terrorist mob, and the mob loves _____. The mob, by trying to intimidate, threaten, or even kill the vice president and members of Congress, who were counting the electoral votes—that mob was, in turn, loved back by _____. According to [Nebraska Republican Senator] Ben Sasse, White House aides told him the president was quote ‘delighted’ watching the insurrection. In _____’s view, they were fighting for him. _____ put out a statement, ‘we love you,’ he said, after the attack, ‘you are very special.' It might be difficult to hear these words, it’s difficult to say them because it’s so ugly, but it’s true. The flag isn’t down at the White House because the president is not mourning Sicknick. He hasn’t personally decried the terrorists in any way because the president loves the terrorists and he reportedly has not even spoken to his own vice president, whose life was at risk since Wednesday. The images of this attack are so shocking that many of _____’s enablers are finally, with just a few days left in his presidency, beginning to get the goddamn point that his continuous lies and humoring of racists and winks and nods to violent extremists are dangerous.”

Can you imagine a president, any other president, watching terrorists break into the Capitol, bust windows and doors, shit on the floors, terrorize on members of Congress, and be happy about it?

photo

Bill Belichick, New England Patriots coach, refusing _____’s offer to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom:

“Recently I was offered the chance to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom, Which I was flattered by out of respect for what the honor represents and admiration for prior recipients. Subsequently, the tragic events of last week occurred and the decision has been made not to move forward with the award.”

Belichick has been a _____ supporter for years, but only now takes s stance against him? I guess Mexicans are rapists was okay, and kids in cages was all right, and Nazis are good people doesn’t bother him, but this was just too much?

You’re late to the party, Bill.

Kevin McCarthy, House Minority Leader, snapping at _____, for possibly the first time ever, after IMPOTUS said “Antifa people” were to blame for the Capitol insurrection:

“It’s not Antifa, it’s MAGA. I know. I was there. Stop it. It’s over. The election is over.”

McCarthy also told House ReTHUGlicans that _____ bears some blame for the terror attack and has accepted some responsibility, according to four Republican sources on a private call, but did not vote to impeach.

I guess inciting an insurrection trying to take over the government isn’t impeachable to THUGS..

photo

Bill De Blasio, New York City mayor, saying the city will terminate all its contracts with the _____ Organization:

“Inciting an insurrection against the U.S. government clearly constitutes criminal activity. Our legal team has done the assessment. The contracts make very clear that if a company, the leadership of that company is engaged in criminal activity, we have the right to sever the contract. So, the City of New York will no longer have anything to do with the Trump organization. They have profited from these contracts. They will profit no longer.”

And while calling him a loser annoys the rap outta him, hitting him in the wallet will really drive him crazy. But he won’t be a crazy president, he’ll just be a crazy loon.

Arnold Schwarzenegger, former California governor, comparing the Capitol insurrection to the 1938 “Kristallnacht” attack by Nazis against Jewish property and businesses:

“I grew up in Austria. I’m very aware of Kristallnacht, or the Night of Broken Glass. It was a night of rampage against the Jews carried out in 1938 by the Nazi equivalent of the Proud Boys. … The broken glass was in the windows of the United States Capitol. But the mob did not just shatter the windows of the Capitol, they shattered the ideas we took for granted. They didn’t just break down the doors of the building that housed American democracy, they trampled the very principles on which our country was founded.”

If we don’t learn from history, we are doomed to repeat it.

Stop this now.
