I Didn't Say It ...

Barack Obama, My President, on The Felon’s cognitive decline:

“Have you seen [him] lately? Giving 2-hour speeches. Just word salads. He held a town hall meeting where he just decided to stop taking questions and swayed to Ave Maria and YMCA for half an hour. He called himself the father of IBF. I do not know what that means. He said January 6 was a ‘Day of Love.’ He made January 6th sound like Woodstock. You would be worried if your grandpa was acting like this, so imagine it coming from a guy who wants to be given unchecked power.”

Just think about the times Obama stopped talking and danced around in some sort of seizure for a half hour … or talked about the dick size of an athlete … or ranted about people eating pets.

There’s something wrong with a man that does that, and that man has no right to be President.

Cher, icon, on stepping up:

“It really should fall on people like me to get together and do things to help people in this country. If you’re not worrying about how to put food on your table, you [should be][ worrying about why other people don’t have food on their table.”

It’s true: there’s the saying that ‘To whom much is given, much is expected,’ and I think all of us could lend a hand to help those less fortunate.

Jermelle Simon, actor,  sharing his truth on National Coming Out Day:

“To everyone. To the ones who feel now is the time. To the ones who feel like maybe later. To the ones who may never come out. And to myself. I want to say to myself Happy National Coming Out Day. I decided to embrace myself fully. All the parts of me. I decided to love myself unconditionally. I decided that the one thing that I thought was the biggest curse in my life is actually the biggest blessing that I could ever receive. I have decided that I am enough. And I want to thank everyone who has helped me to get to that place where I feel seen, where I feel like I belong, where I feel loved. Thank you for that. Thank you for providing a space where I can come on the internet and say: ‘I am a Black, gay man.’ Happy National Coming Out Day.”

Welcome out, Jermelle. And please accept as our gift from HOMO HQ your own copy of The Gay Agenda and the Official Coming Out Toaster Oven™.

Everyone who comes out paves the way for others to follow ….

Fred Upton, Republican and former U.S. Representative, on endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris’ 2024 bid for the White House:

“Watching [him] day after day, he’s ignored the advice of many senior, respected Republicans to stay on the issues. Instead, he’s still talking about the election being stolen, trashing women left and right. He’s just totally unhinged. We don’t need this chaos. We need to move forward, and that’s why I’m where I am. [Kamala Harris and Tim Walz] want to get things done, and the only way to get that to happen is to work on a bipartisan basis. I'm convinced that Harris has more ability to do that than [The Felon]. I’m convinced that those of us who are willing to stand up now will be at the table as we try to chart a path to resolve these issues. They are too important to ignore. ... At some point, the country has to come ahead of party, and that’s what this is all about."

I again ask: how many Democrats have said they will vote for The Felon? ::::crickets:::: And I believe for every Republican who comes out for Kamala they are dozens and dozens more who are silently, quietly, planning to vote Blue.

I Didn't Say It

Liz Cheney, saying the Justice Department should not avoid prosecuting Thing 45 in relation to the Insurrection he started:

“I think it’s a much graver constitutional threat if a president can engage in these kinds of activities, and the majority of the president’s party looks away; or we as a country decide we’re not actually going to take our constitutional obligations seriously. I think that’s a much, a much more serious threat. I really believe we have to make these decisions, as difficult as it is, apart from politics. We really have to think about these from the perspective of: What does it mean for the country?”

That’s what’s called putting your country over your party, though too many in the GOP thinks it best to hitch their wagons to a racist rapist traitor because they’re scared on him.

Laura Ingraham, the Eva Braun of Fox News, on the cause of that mass shooting in Illinois:

“Indications are that Robert Crimo was a regular pot user. Now, one look at him and to the untrained eye he looks like a complete psychotic, if you’ve ever seen anyone looking like him. What can regular pot use trigger in young men in particular? Psychosis and other violent personality changes. These are the eyes of some of the mass killers who have reportedly been regular pot users. Look at them. Those in politics and in the media who devote their time and energy to fear mongering on fake issues while covering up the truth about the growing scourge of violent psychosis in our young people, they have to be called out. They have to be defeated.”

I’m not a fan of pot, but from what I understand, it kinda makes you lazy and lethargic and hungry, not a person who has daddy cosign so he can buy a slew of assault weapons and climb onto a rooftop.

Again, Laura Ingraham is a pandering, fearmongering, asshat.

Fred Upton, Michigan’s GOP Representative, on those cowards who stood with Thing 45:

“What disappoints me the most is that here we are a year and a half later [and] we’re now just getting other Republicans within the former administration to tell what they thought, what they saw happen. Where were they a year and a half ago when then of us voted our conscience and decided to cast the vote that we did? They should have helped us, in my view, back in January when we cast that vote. None of the ten of us regretted our vote that we cast. None of us would have changed our vote that we cast.”

Upton’s “ten of us” refers to the ten GOP House members who voted for Thing 45’s second impeachment. In April, Upton announced that he will not seek reelection.

Why not stay and fight for the GOP, Upton, rather than turn tail and run? Seems the party is made up of all kinds of cowards.

Tucker Carlson, the Little Prince of TV dinners of Fox News, on the cause of that mass shooting in Illinois:

“So, why didn’t anyone raise an alarm? Well, maybe because he didn’t stand out. Maybe because there are a lot of young men in America who suddenly look and act a lot like this guy. And of course, they’re angry. They know that their lives will not be better than their parents.’ They’ll be worse. That’s all but guaranteed. They know that. They’re not that stupid. And yet the authorities in their lives—mostly women—never stop lecturing them about their so-called privilege. ‘You’re male, you’re privileged!’ “Imagine that. Try to imagine an unhealthier, unhappier life than that. So, a lot of young men in America are going nuts. Are you surprised?”

And that’s another reason we can let women have autonomy over the bodies and their healthcare choices, because they’re raising murderers.

It’s women!!!! It’s women!!!

Geoff Duncan, Georgia’s Republican Lt. Governor, on getting death threats after speaking out about Thing 45:

“There was an interesting timeline that started to happen, a pattern is a better way to put it. So I would go on TV, I would speak the truth and within minutes [Thing 45] would send a tweet out that would say something derogatory or inflammatory. And within minutes after that, me or my wife would start to get threats which would show up on our phone. I mean bloodcurdling threats from the most awful sounding individuals. And deep meaning, that they know things about you and your family. They intentionally were trying scare us and intimidate us.”

This isn’t a president, or even a human being, it’s a child throwing a tantrum and rallying his little band of red hat wearing traitors and bullies to come after you.

Best way to end them? Never let Thing 45 near public office again.

Greg Gutfeld, the tiny angry little man on Fox News, on the cause of that mass shooting in Illinois:

“Just look at people shooting for the sake of shooting. It’s always influenced by the previous attack. So if you thought that you could decrease these attacks by 30%, 40%, 50% why wouldn’t you do it? Why wouldn’t you do it? The media could do that. We could just report the facts, be one and done and leave, instead of giving just nonstop coverage. The media, remember, they can decide not to cover something. Hunter’s laptop: they were easy with that. Border chaos: they don’t cover that. The riots after George Floyd, mostly peaceful: they didn’t cover that. Look at the Akron shooting. They said that they covered the 60 shots from the police but not the fact that the guy shot first. So they know how to not cover things. So it’s time that we look at this stuff and decide enough is enough. If we, the press, can decrease these shootings by 30%, why the hell don’t we?”

Maybe you should suggest that to your bosses, Tiny, and take the first step. I mean, if these other quotes are any indication, your own network went on a rampage talking about the story endlessly. Clean your own house, little man, before coming for any others.

Oh, and if Americans stopped watching the liars and racists and loons and angry little men on Fox News, it will stop.

Let’s try that.

Mitt Romney, GOP Senator from Utah, on Biden and this latest version of America:

“President Joe Biden is a genuinely good man, but he has yet been unable to break through our national malady of denial, deceit, and distrust. A return of [Thing 45] would feed the sickness, probably rendering it incurable. Congress is particularly disappointing: Our elected officials put a finger in the wind more frequently than they show backbone against it. Too often, Washington demonstrates the maxim that for evil to thrive only requires good men to do nothing. I hope for a president who can rise above the din to unite us behind the truth. Several contenders with experience and smarts stand in the wings; we intently watch to see if they also possess the requisite character and ability to bring the nation together in confronting our common reality. While we wait, leadership must come from fathers and mothers, teachers and nurses, priests and rabbis, businessmen and businesswomen, journalists and pundits.”

Nice to see Mitt taking the GOP goose-steppers to task, but howsabout a little more anger and disgust at their pandering? Howsabout campaigning with and for those candidates who will do better for America and leave Thing 45 to wither and die like a piece of rotten fruit in the Florida sun?

I mean, as long as Mitt doesn’t think he should run.
