I Didn't Say It ...

Hunter Biden, on his Nobel Peace Prize nominee:

“I am officially nominating Donald J. [Cankles] for the Nobel Peace Prize. No president in history has ended the same war so many times. Our Dear Leader has ended the war with Iran at least 38 times by CNN’s count. No president has ever done this before. And he is nowhere near finished ending it. It’s a record worthy of the Nobel committee’s recognition. Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

And just yesterday the ceasefire was off, again, and the bombing was on, again, and gas price soared, again.

And he was profiting from the job.

Cory Booker, Democrat Senator from New Jersey, on the Presidential Grift™:

“If you put $100 dollars into [Cankles’] meme coin just before the inauguration, it’s be worth $2.34 today. But [Cankles]? We just learned he’s up $635 million. Then there’s that $526,810,321 he made in token sales from the family crypto company and the $196,875,000 he made from the family stable coins. And the $65,625,000 he made from an equity sale  in the family crypto company. Remember, this is all from last year. [He] has been running a full-on crypto scam out of the Oval Office. He’s a disgrace.”

Well, he’s actually a lying cheating racist rapist, sexual predator pedophile disgrace.

Michael Franken, US Navy Admiral Retired, disproving the GOP ongoing lie about voter fraud:

“In Utah, Republicans completed a comprehensive voter investigation looking for voter fraud. Of two million voters, [only] one non-citizen registered to vote and no non-citizen voted. Voter fraud is a Republican myth, and the Save Act is Republican nonsense.”

It’s no myth, it’s a lie and their only desperate attempt to keep their jobs. If Democrats get out and vote in record numbers—remember, we outnumber the GOP—this lie will die, just like the GOP.

photo

Raja Krishnamoorthi, Democrat Representative from Illinois, promising to take on the USPS over mail-in voting:

“If the postal service moves forward with [Cankles’] plan to restrict mail ballot delivery, I’ll pursue a Congressional subpoena of the Postmaster General and lead efforts to remove him from office. No administration should be able to use the Postal Service to make it harder for Americans to vote.”

Fight fire with fire; file suit against every single attempt the GOP puts forth to steal the election.

Oh, and remember that Cankles and his entire family vote by mail so if they trust the process shouldn’t you?

photo

David Frum, political commentator and former speechwriter for George W. Bush, on the disaster that is Cankles:

“Few of us have access to full information on how [Cankles] lost the Iran War. But we can all see the fiasco that [he] has made of the 250^th anniversary [of American independence] celebrations. Watching [him] fail at something easy helps illustrate why he was doomed to mess up anything difficult.”

His birthday; the ballroom; the reflecting pool; the war; America’s birthday; the American State Fair; that Knicks game; the US game in the World Cup.

It all goes to shiz because he’s inept and demented.

photo

James Talarico, Democrat candidate for Senator from Texas, demolishing Ted Cruz for smearing him as not "masculine" enough to win in Texas:

"Yeah, there's been a lot of talk in this race about what it means to be a real man and recently on the campaign trail, I told the story of my adoptive dad, the man who gave me his last name, the man who raised me as his own. Every Saturday morning, Mark Talarico would mow our lawn, whether it was rain or shine, whether he wanted to or not, he insisted on mowing our lawn himself. And then without anyone asking him to, he would go next door and mow our neighbor's lawn because our neighbor was elderly, she was a widow. And my dad never talked about it. He just did it. Because that's what a man does. A man takes responsibility. A man upholds his commitments to his family and his neighbors. A man does what's right even when no one is watching. And here's what real men don't do... They don't lie and cheat their way through life. They don't sell their soul to the highest bidder. They don't steal from other people in order to enrich themselves. And so I've said before, and I will keep saying, that real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves and so I welcome this debate about what it means to be a man. And I don't think Ken Paxton or Ted Cruz are in a position to tell anybody what a real man is."

Someone should tell Ted Cruz that people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. After Cankles called Rafael’s wife ugly during the 2016 Republican primary, Cruz went on to kiss the ring and the ass of Cankles; he sold his own family in pursuit of power; so manly.

I Didn't Say It ...

Jean Smart, on the red carpet for the 2026 Golden Globes, about America this year:

“Everything’s kind of, a little bit overshadowed, with what's going on in our country. I feel like we’re kind of at a turning point in this country, and I hope people can keep their heads, because that’s actually, really, the hardest thing, I think, is to keep our heads. It’s going to take a lot of courage and a lot of restraint, but I think that’s important. I feel like there are certain entities that would like us to fight back and possibly… I don’t know, it’s very concerning.  I know that there are people who find it annoying when actors take opportunities like this to talk about social and political things. But I'm not here right now speaking as an actress, I'm just speaking as a citizen and a mom, and I hope people understand that. I’m not as optimistic about things these days, about the world these days, but I just hope the people realize how important what’s going on is right now … this is kind of a moment of reckoning, I think, in this country. And I just hope that people do the right thing, and I think almost everybody knows in their hearts what is the right thing. [I don’t] feel like my opinion matters more than anybody’s [but] I feel like if you feel strongly about something, and you have the chance to share your feelings or encourage people or cheer somebody on, you should do it … Let’s all do the right thing, and I think everybody in their hearts knows what the right thing is to do. So let’s do the right thing."

Could it be more simple: do the right thing.

Don’t shoot people in the face; don’t grab up,  detain or deport American citizens; don’t blindly follow orders from criminals.

Do. The. Right. Thing.

photo

Jacob Frey, Minneapolis Democrat mayor, on the GOP ignoring the shooting in his city while taking him to task for his profanity:

“I’m so sorry if I offended their Disney princess ears, but here’s the thing: if we’re talking about what’s inflammatory, on one hand you got someone who dropped an f-bomb and on the other you have someone who killed someone else.”

Fuck off is one thing; calling a woman you just shot in the face a "fucking bitch" is quite another.

photo

David Frum, Canadian-American political commentator, on the shooting of Renee Good and Kristi Noem’s responsibility for it:

“In retrospect, probably a mistake to pout the safety of the American people in the charge of a woman who would personally kill her own dog, boast about it, then lie about it.”

Concise, yet cogent.

photo

Tim Miller, political commentator, writer and former political consultant, of the lies from the regime over the murder of Renee Nicole Good:

“I will not be fucking gaslit by these people. I will not tone down the rhetoric. Jonathan Ross murdered her. She talked to him calmly, said ‘Dude, I’m not mad.’ This is fucking insane. This is not a tough call. He orphaned her child and called her a ‘fucking bitch’ after he killed her. Do not let [Cankles] and JD Vance and Kristi Noem and these thugs try to convince you this is anything other than murder.”

Do not listen to them.

Renee wasn’t an agitator; Renee was leaving the scene; Renee was turning her vehicle away from Jonathan Ross when he fired three shots into her car, two of those threw her driver’s door window; he was not in danger, he was a tiny little man given a modicum of authority and took it to the wrong place.

He is a murderer..

photo

Seth Magaziner, Democrat representative for Rhode Island, on Kristi Noem trying to justify murder:

“Kristi Noem’s an idiot, right? Like, she went on TV before any of the facts were in. She made up this story on TV about ICE agents trying to dig their truck out of the snow or something, which was clearly false. Like she didn’t even realize that there was gonna be video of what happened when she went up and gave a false story. Everybody in the [Cankles Regime] lies, but she’s not even good at the lie, right? And we’ve seen that over and over again. So, you know, it would be ridiculous, it would be funny if it wasn’t so sad and tragic because actual people’s lives are being ruined and in some cases ended by the lawlessness of the administration. And, again, like, if they had just done what they said they would do and just focus on people with serious criminal records, no one would be complaining, but they can’t help themselves.”

When you give anyone with no soul, no heart, no conscience any kind of power you end up putting innocent people behind bars; you end up murdering innocent people.

Kristi Noem, Cankles, JD Vance and Jonathan are all complicit in the cold blooded murder of Renee Good.

photo

Zohran Mamdani, NYC Mayor, taking on the DogKiller and CitizenKiller and how he’s calling it a murder:

“That was the conclusion I came to just in watching that video and I think that many Americans came to that same conclusion. That ICE agent murdered a woman in Minneapolis.  If that is following his training, then I think there are larger questions about the training that’s being provided to ICE agents. A 37-year-old woman was killed by an ICE agent. She leaves behind children. She leaves behind her family. She leaves behind an entire community in the city that will mourn her. And this is something that was entirely preventable. What many New Yorkers woke up with feeling today was a heightened sense of anxiety and fear as to whether they were safe in leaving their homes.”

Ross trained for a few hours before he was armed and sent into the streets; ill-equipped and unprepared for any situation.

He’s a murderer.

I Didn't Say It.....Marriage Equality Edition

New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, on marriage equality:

“When I was a little girl, I dreamed I would one day get married. I never imagined that it would take tonight’s Senate action to make that dream come true. Tonight’s historic Senate vote is a great moment for all New Yorkers. New York state’s recognition of marriage equality for same sex couples is an extraordinary step towards full equality for LGBT people. Tonight’s sweet victory in Albany will be felt all across America. At long last, the change we have fought for will be seen in the lives of families throughout our great state, including my own.”

And think of all the other young gay boys and girls, gay men and women, who woke up the day after that vote, realizing they could marry the love of their lives, and suddenly seeing themselves as equal.

Tony Perkins, of the Family Research Council, on the New York vote:

"Despite all of the disappointment, God is on the move. Regardless of how things appear, never doubt that He is at work behind the scenes. Rainbow colors may cut through the New York night, but shadows are where you and I are called to shine. The world takes advantage of the darkness, but only the church can set it ablaze. "Arise... for your light has come... See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and His glory appears over you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn." (Isaiah 60:1-3)"

God is love.
Asshat.
But, you are right about one thing, you and your ilk do hide in the shadows and plot in the shadows and spread fear and hate from the shadows.

NYC Mayor Bloomberg, on the passage of marriage equality:

“Today’s passage in the New York State Senate of legislation recognizing the right of couples to marry regardless of their gender is a historic triumph for equality and freedom. New York has always been a leader in movements to extend freedom and equality to people who had been denied full membership in the American family. By welcoming all people — no matter where they are from, what faith or philosophy they follow, or whom they love — New York became the strongest, most dynamic city in the world. And today, we are even stronger than we were yesterday.”

And, hopefully that strength, that momentum, will carry on, into Maryland, Maine, New Jersey, and out to California.

Conservative columnist David Frum, announcing a change of heart on marriage equality:

"I find myself strangely untroubled by New York state's vote to authorize same-sex marriage--a vote that probably signals that most of the 'blue' states will follow within the next 10 years. I don't think I'm alone in my reaction either. Most conservatives have reacted with calm--if not outright approval--to New York's dramatic decision. Why? The short answer is that the case against same-sex marriage has been tested against reality. The case has not passed its test. Since 1997, same-sex marriage has evolved from talk to fact. If people like me had been right, we should have seen the American family become radically more unstable over the subsequent decade and a half. Instead -- while American family stability has continued to deteriorate -- it has deteriorated much more slowly than it did in the 1970s and 1980s before same-sex marriage was ever seriously thought of."

Indeed.
Where the states have allowed gay couples the same freedoms as straight couples, there has been no problem, no issues, no tornadoes, no locusts.
Only love.

New York State Senator James Alesi, the first Republican to announce his support for marriage equality:

"We have to make this an opportunity for America to be what America was designed to be and that is the freest land in the world....."I understand that constitutionally the president is right, because it's a states' rights issue, otherwise New York wouldn't have been able to pass this. But there's nothing wrong with the most powerful person in the world espousing a viewpoint."

Freedom.
And doing what's right.
And coming from a Republican, at that.
This shows us all that people can change, that they can understand it's not about tearing down an institution, it's about building it up.
Thank you, Senator Alesi, for seeing that, and voting that.

Pat Robertson, on New York's historic vote:

"In history, there has never been a civilization that has embraced homosexuality and turned away from traditional fidelity, traditional marriage, traditional child-rearing and has survived. There isn't one single civilization that has survived...So you say, 'what’s going to happen to America?' If history is any guide, the same thing is going to happen to us."

See, now this is why I question the existence of God.
If there really was a god, you can bet she'd be sending a hurricane or a tornado or a flood, or just a strong piece of duct tape for his mouth, to Pat Robertson's house.

Newt Gingrich, serial adulterer, and habitual marrying man, on marriage equality in New York:

"I think the president should be, frankly, enforcing (DOMA), and I think we are drifting toward a terrible muddle which I think is going to be very, very difficult and painful to work our way out of."

The only pain in the foreseeable future, Newt, is your own pain at losing the presidential nomination to some other wingnut.
Oh, and the pain that the third Mrs. Gingrich will feel when she founds you schtupping the fourth Mrs. Gingrich.

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, on marriage equality:

"I am not a fan of same-sex marriage. It’s not something that I support. I believe marriage should be between one man and one woman. That's my view and that'll be the view of our state because I wouldn't sign a bill like the one that was in New York."

Have another doughnut and shut up.
Of course, knowing how Christie operates, he'd probably use a police helicopter to fly his ass to Krispy Kreme and charge the taxpayers of New Jersey for it.
Douchenozzle.

Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz:

“It is impossible to overstate the momentous history we witnessed in Albany tonight with legislative approval of marriage equality for all New Yorkers. With his signature, Governor Cuomo will finally put an end to what can only be described as government-sanctioned discrimination against our lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community. Whatever your religious convictions, love is love — and we need to do everything possible to foster relationships and families, not tear them down.”

Allowing all New Yorkers to marry, will strengthen marriage in the state, and strengthen the family, too. No matter what the family looks like.
Mom and dad? Good. One Mom? Fine. One Dad? That works. Two Dads or two Moms? As long as there is love and nurturing, who cares what it looks like.
 
Maggie Gallagher, NOM spokesbitch, on marriage equality:

"New York Republicans are responsible for passing gay marriage. The party will pay a grave price. Here is what we know. In state after state, Democrats who control a chamber in support of their base have prevented votes favorable to marriage: Iowa, West Virginia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania. When Democrats are in the minority, they’ve demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to their base — in Wisconsin and Indiana fleeing the state to prevent a vote. N.Y, Republicans did not have to bring gay marriage up for a vote: What does it mean that they passed gay marriage in N.Y.? Michael Long, the Conservative-party chairman, has vowed to withhold his endorsement. The National Organization for Marriage has committed $2 million to persuading Republicans: Voting for gay marriage has consequences. Sad that the N.Y. GOP has caved. Consequences to be continued."

Make your threats, Maggie.
And spend your money.
You'll lose that......too.

New York Senator Stephen Saland, a Poughkeepsie Republican and the 32nd vote:

“I know my vote is a vote of conscience. I am at peace with my vote. It was a struggle. It was an extraordinary deliberation.”

And i would guess that most New York citizens are at peace as well, because you've done the right thing.
They are at peace because you struggled and thought, and you struggled and fought, and came down on the side of making Americans,. all Americans, in New York State, fully equal.
Thank you, Senator Saland, for taking a stand for what's right, what's equal, what's fair.
Well done, sir.

Clinton County GOP legislator Sam Trombley, using fear as a weapon, on marriage equality:

"I'm surprised the health department has not come out against this because we are going to have an HIV epidemic if this passes. They (health department) are always complaining about tobacco and smoking, I'm surprised they didn't say anything about this. You don't see two male dogs sleeping in the same dog house together. It blows my mind to think of it."

Hey Sam?
Um, do a little research, hon.
HIV is already an epidemic, asshat.
And it isn't just the gay folks getting it.
Straight women of color are the ones most susceptible.
Come out of the 1980s asshat.

And, once again, because it bears repeating:
 
New York Senator Roy McDonald:

“You get to the point where you evolve in your life where everything isn’t black and white, good and bad, and you try to do the right thing. You might not like that. You might be very cynical about that. Well, fuck it, I don’t care what you think. I’m trying to do the right thing.”
