I Didn't Say It ...

Ana Navarro, political commentator and co-host of The View, on Cankles gloating about the death of Robert Mueller:

“There's something particularly galling, I think, about the commander in chief in the middle of a war, taking to Truth Social to attack somebody who won a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart while Commander Bone Spurs was dodging the draft. It's the hypocrisy of this entire situation that I think just is something that we can't get numb to. And I just wanna remind people though because I haven't heard, I've heard very few Republicans condemn this this weekend. I saw the Secretary of the Treasury, Scott Besson say we should have empathy not for the family of Robert Mueller, but for [CANKLES], is who we should have empathy for. This is the same thing he did with John McCain after he died. This is the same thing he did with Rob Reiner. This is who he is because he is a mean person with a dark heart, verbal diarrhea, and no impulse control. And he is 80 years old. He's got obvious visible physical ailments and there will be people who, when he passes away, as we will all pass away, will write these types of things and celebrate! Well if you don't condemn it today from him, you don't have a right to condemn it then from anybody!”

Now, I don’t like celebrating the death of anyone, but I’ve a feeling we’ll run out of champagne when it  happens to Cankles.

Pete Buttigieg, former Transportation Secretary and future President of the United States, on the end of the regime:

“I think our party is still struggling to have this idea of what happens when [Cankles] leaves the scene as a beginning point instead of the be-all, end-all goal of what we’re doing. [But[ I think [that’s what] an increasing number of Republicans are doing. If you look at the defection of Marjorie Taylor Greene, if you look at the Indiana State House Republicans defying the president on redistricting, I think what a lot of them are thinking to themselves is, you know what, I’m going to be in politics longer than he is. And yet that’s actually a real struggle for Democrats. I think because we are understandably so horrified by all of the abuses that are going on right now. But we’ve got to have answers about not just how to end the horrible things we’re seeing right now. And the really amazing thing is, on so many of the answers, including things we’ve been saying all along, like making sure that the wealthiest pay their fair share in taxes, or making sure that there’s a better solution for people to get health care, or you name it, issue after issue, it’s like two-thirds of Americans agree with us. And so we have to be asking ourselves some pretty hard questions. If there’s issue after issue where two-thirds of Americans are with us, and we’re not always getting 50% in the election, how are we talking about these things?”

As usual, Pete is right. Democrats need to speak up and offer solutions; don’t bash Cankles, raise yourselves up to be the leaders this country needs. We know this regime is evil but tell us what you are going to do for us.

Step the fuck up.

Barack Obama, great former President, on the ACA anniversary:

“The day the Affordable Care Act passed was one of my proudest moments as president, because it meant that millions of Americans would have access to health care, some for the first time. The ACA also prevented insurance companies from denying people with pre-existing conditions coverage, allowed young people under the age of 26 to remain on their parents’ plan, expanded Medicaid, and so much more. But the ACA was always meant to be a first step. We still have to do more to expand access and make health care more affordable for everyone.”

Notice how he doesn’t hype himself, but hypes the change, and even acknowledges there’s more work to do while the cancer in the White House has done nothing for health care in either one of his terms.

George W. Bush, former President, on the death of Robert Mueller:

“Laura and I are deeply saddened by the loss of Robert Mueller. Bob dedicated his life to public service. As a Marine in Vietnam, he proved he was ready for tough assignments. He earned a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart before returning home to pursue law. In 2001, only one week into the job as the 6th Director of the F.B.I., Bob transitioned the agency mission to protecting the homeland after September 11. He led the agency effectively, helping prevent another terrorist attack on U.S. soil. Laura and I send our heartfelt sympathy to his wife of nearly 60 years, Ann, and the Mueller family.”

Mueller was everything Cankles isn’t, and never will be, and that irks him.

And remember, even though Cankles swears Mueller’s report exonerated him it specifically said it did not. Another reason for Cankles vile response.

I Didn't Say It

Adam Kinzinger, GOP Congressperson with a brain—a rarity in the party that appears to have just one shared brain between them—on Biden’s vaccine mandate:

“I think it’s going to save lives. And the failure here comes in leaders that have basically used vaccine status as some tattoo of what political tribe you belong to. I mean, we all hear stories of people that are in very red areas that are embarrassed to say they’re vaccinated. That is insane and silly. And that is a problem with leaders, particularly Republican leaders, that don’t stand up and give cover to people. There are some Republican members of Congress and stuff putting out fundraising after fundraising email about first, it’s going to be a vaccine mandate, next thing, the Gestapo’s going to show up at your door and take your bible away. Like, that’s not going to happen and that’s playing on people’s fears.”

He’s asking people to do the right thing for health of others and yet we are such a selfish and self-involved society that we don’t care about others.

And that’s the beginning of the end.

Rudy Giuliani, who used to be known as America’s Mayor, realizing he’s now just a fool and a punchline:

“I don’t care. I am aware of that. And what’s happened is, our country has gone off the rails…I’m exactly the same person. They changed! I don’t think I’ve ever done an interview drunk. I mean, I drink normally. I like Scotch, I drink Scotch. I’m not an alcoholic. I’m a functioning, I probably function more effectively than 90 percent of the population.”

Little Freudian slip there, Rudy. You seldom ever pass a bar without going in.

George W. Bush, speaking about terrorism at a 9/11 remembrance ceremony in Shanksville:

“We have seen growing evidence that the dangers to our country can come not only across borders but from violence that gathers within. There is little cultural overlap between violent extremists abroad and violent extremists at home. But in their disdain for pluralism, in their disregard for human life, in their determination to defile national symbols, they are children of the same foul spirit, and it is our continuing duty to confront them.”

Okay, I’m glad he compared terrorists flying planes into towers to domestica terrorists flying flagpoles thorough windows of the nation’s capital, but let’s be clear that a lot of the ills in this country can be traced back to W’s Big Lie about Saddam Hussein and 9/11 and getting us into Afghanistan..

That’s all.

Pat Toomey, GOP Senator from Pennsylvania, urging his party not to nominate Thing 45 in 2024:

“I think that the future of our party is to be a party of ideas, and not to be a party about any one individual, and I think we will learn a lot from the next set of primaries. I think after what happened post-2020 election, I think the president’s behavior was completely unacceptable, so I don’t think he should be the nominee to lead the party in 2024.”

Nice vanilla statement. Howsabout being a little more forceful if you believe Thing 45 is unfit to be president, huh?

Chris Wallace, Fox News, on refusing to have Big Lie spreaders on his show:

“There are plenty of people who were the leaders in the Congress of challenging [the election] that I just have not had on the show ever since then, and have purposefully not had on the show, because I don’t frankly wanna hear their crap.”

A rare moment of sanity from a Fox News employee.

Who knew?
