I Didn't Say It ...

President Biden, on the suicide of Nex Benedict, after being bullied:

“Jill and I are heartbroken by the recent loss of Nex Benedict. Every young person deserves to have the fundamental right and freedom to be who they are, and feel safe and supported at school and in their communities. Nex Benedict, a kid who just wanted to be accepted, should still be here with us today. Nonbinary and transgender people are some of the bravest Americans I know. But nobody should have to be brave just to be themselves.

In memory of Nex, we must all recommit to our work to end discrimination and address the suicide crisis impacting too many nonbinary and transgender children. Bullying is hurtful and cruel, and no one should face the bullying that Nex did. Parents and schools must take reports of bullying seriously.

My prayers are with Nex’s family, friends, and all who loved them – and to all LGBTQI+ Americans for whom this tragedy feels so personal, know this: I will always have your back.”

Once again Joe Biden stands with and for the LGBTQ+ community.

That’s my President.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., on thinking about choosing football player Aaron Rogers as his VP:

“He’s stood up. He’s been hammered by the press, stood up for things we believe in. I like that part of his character. He’s a critical thinker and I think we need that at the time as you know the rise of A.I. We need people who understand that you cannot always trust authority just because somebody’s in charge. It doesn’t mean that they’re telling you the truth and we want somebody who’s going to critically examine. My father used to say one of the duties of living as a citizen of democracy is to maintain a constant posture of skepticism toward authority. And I think Aaron’s shown that. He’s also somebody who I think will help me get the country healthy again. You know, he’s 40 years old. He’s focused on his own health. He’s very aware of health issues. And you know, that’s one of the things I’m going to—that’s one of the key parts of my agenda is to get the country healthy again.”

Wait, RFK Jr, an embarrassment to his father and family, says “you cannot always trust authority just because somebody’s in charge” and wants a football player in charge mainly because he’s also an anti-vaxxer?

Fuck all the way off.

Pete Buttigieg, Transportation Secretary, on Katie Britt, her blatant lies, and the GOP's refusal to take on border security:

“I’ll leave it to her to explain the falsehoods, but I think it illustrates the bigger issue. She’s a United States senator and the United States Senate right now could be acting to help secure the southern border. We have a very clear choice between congressional Republicans who seem to prefer that this issue remain bad so that they can attack the president over it and those who would actually like to solve it or at least improve it and address it. Will 2024 go down in history is yet another failed attempt with bipartisan compromise or will congressional Republicans follow the lead of their own negotiators and the President of the United States and actually do something about it?”

The GOP trots out the border “issue” every single election cycle and then conveniently forgets about it after the election is over.

They don’t want to fix the border; they simply want to use the fear tactics of an alleged border crisis to remain in power. Vote them out and see some real change on the border.

Mike Lindell, the My Pillow wacknut, speaking again  about the 2020 election:

“We’re able to add new evidence that just came about three months ago. This evidence is more explosive than any evidence I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen a lot. This is gonna shock the world on Thursday, and it’s—Lou, I’ve never been more optimistic and excited. I really believe these Supreme Court justices—they have grandchildren, children, they have families and they have neighbors, and they see the destruction of our country. Just like they made the 9-0 vote for the Constitution with the Colorado case, keeping our great, real president on the ballot, I believe if they accept this, this evidence is so explosive that it’ll have to be another 9-0 vote.”

Remember, yesterday was Thursday and there was no explosion of news about 2020; just Lindell and explosive diarrhea of the mouth.

Julie Von Haefen, North Carolina Democrat Representative, on Kate Britt’s special brand of crazy:

“Katie Britt said that women are up at 2AM worrying about finishing chores and getting dinner on the table. I think women in this country are up at 2AM worrying about how their rights and the rights of their daughters are being ripped away by the likes of Katie Britt.”

Be a Julie and vote the Katie’s out of office.

Hakeem Jeffries, House Minority Leader, on the GOP and the State of the Union speech:

“That was an embarrassment last night. A complete embarrassment. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who’s basically running the Republican conference, shows up in campaign paraphernalia, and then these people want to lecture Joe Biden because he delivered a strong and forceful speech that made them uncomfortable because he exposed their lies and shamelessness? We have one message for extreme MAGA Republicans who want to lecture us about decorum: Get lost; you’re a joke. Exhibit A: Marjorie Taylor Greene. Exhibit B: George Santos.”

Add in Boebert, Gaetz, Johnson, Scalise, Stefanik, et al. Lunatics and losers and liars, all.

I Didn't Say It

Matt Damon, honoring George Clooney at the 2022 Kennedy Center Honors:

“It has been said that my friend George Clooney is the last of the true movie stars, so I got to thinking about exactly what that meant. Of course, a number of past Kennedy Center honorees have certainly been movie stars in that classic sense. Actors with class and sophistication—Cary Grant, Henry Fonda, Paul Newman, Gregory Peck. And then I think of George; a man who defected in Richard Kind’s kitty litter box as a joke. A man who once stole Bill Clinton’s stationery and wrote fake notes to actors, saying how much the President loved their movies.”

I love a good practical joke, though I doubt I’d ever take a dump in a litter box, but I’d steal the stationary and write all kinds of fake notes.

Dolly Parton, on what had kept her marriage going for 56 years:

“We both have a warped sense of humor. And I think humor, honestly, is one of the best things when you’re married like that. Even if you have a problem, if you have a great sense of humor, if you say something you can’t take back [you] usually have some crazy way of getting out of it. We’ve never had, you know, serious arguments to say bad things to each other we have to take back. I like it when people say, ‘How did it last so long?’ I say, ‘I stay going.’ You know, there’s a lot to be said about that. So we’re not in each other’s face all the time. He’s not in the business, so we have different interests, but yet we have the things we love to do together. So it was meant to be, I think. He was the one I was supposed to have and vice versa.”

I swear, this is what I say about Carlos and me; we both have warped senses of humor, and we don’t take things so seriously, and we also have varied interests. Whenever we have an argument, I always start by saying:

“I’m not mad, but here’s why I’m mad.”

Maybe we’ll last as long as Dolly and Carl.

Josh Hawley, GOP Senator, January 6th Chicken, and self-described masculinity expert:

“The liberal culture, what the message to young people is, the most you can aspire to in life is to be a consumer who sits in a cubicle in front of a computer all day and doesn’t ask questions or do anything meaningful with your life. What we need to say to young men—and young women too—is just the opposite. Aspire to be something more than a consumer, and for young men, aspire to be something more than a consumer of pornography. Aspire to actually create something of your life, like, create a family for instance. That is the single greatest act of rebellion—if you like—against the liberal culture.”

I dunno, every time I hear a Republican accuse a liberal of something, it’s always the Republican doing that same thing.

Leads me to think that Joshie likes himself from porn and so if he tells you it’s bad you’ll never think he sits in a dark room in his house choking Little Josh for hours on end.

Mike Lindell, the Pillow Loon, aiming at a new target:

“What we’re doing now is, I’m going after Dade County in the 2022 election. And everyone says, ‘Well, why would you go after Dade County? This is where Ron DeSantis won Dade County, that’s a Republican won Dade County. Well, for me, I look at deviations, everybody. That’s a deviation. I don’t believe it. So I want to show, it’s gonna show everybody just like we always say about Democrats where they stole their elections. Because that was historical, normally Republicans don’t win that county. I want to find out in Dade County, what happened there because it’s, it’s a deviation from norm, you know, it’s very much a deviation.”

Bitch should stick to pillows because his statement is nonsensical, other than that he thinks if he proves DeSantis cheated to win in Dade County, then DeSantis won’t run against Hair Furor in 2024.

Of course, though, Mike Lindell is the biggest moron on the political scene so I doubt this little theory will go anywhere either.

Adam Kinzinger, retiring Republican Congressman, in his House farewell speech

“Our democracy is not functioning. Where Republicans once believed that limited government meant lower taxes and more autonomy, today limited government means inciting violence against government officials. Following the tragic Oklahoma City bombing, former President George H. W. Bush publicly refuted those who used fear to gain support. In stark contrast, our leaders today belittle, and in some cases justify, attacks on the U.S. Capitol as ‘legitimate political discourse.’ The once great party of Lincoln, Roosevelt and Reagan has turned its back on the ideals of liberty and self-governance. Instead, it has embraced lies and deceit. The Republican Party used to believe in a big tent, which welcomed the tired, the poor, the huddled masses yearning to breathe free. Now we shelter the ignorant, the racists, who only stoke anger and hatred to those that are different than us. Our constituents voted us in based on our beliefs, but we cannot use our faith as a sword and a shield while ignoring the fact we are all children of God, that we are all Americans … Americans deserve a democracy that values truthful leaders and real dialogue between our parties. It is my belief that we must put aside our differences and remember that the nation itself will only survive if the people have faith in one another. Unfortunately, we now live in a world where lies trump truth. Where democracy is being challenged by authoritarianism. If we, America’s elected leaders, do not search within ourselves for a way out, I fear that this great experiment will fall into the ash heap of history. I can rest at night knowing I was standing up for the truth [but] I know many in this institution cannot do the same.”

Snap. I know many in the GOP didn’t hear him because their heads are too filled with lies and the quest for power at any and all costs.

It’s a shame that the GOP, and the Democratic party as well, didn’t have more Adam Kinzinger's in their midst.
