I Didn't Say It ...


David Tennant, actor and former  Dr. Who , slamming _____ on behalf of the Scottish people:

“When he was over here and he was talking about England and he was saying ‘I’m going out to Scotland for my golf course in Scotland cause people in London are protesting but obviously [in] Scotland they really like me.’ Can I say on behalf of the Scottish nation, we f***ing don’t?”

It’s hard to pinpoint anyone who really does like him, save the racists and the religious hypocrites.
Rob Reiner, comparing _____ to sitcom character Archie Bunker:

“People always say, ‘you could redo ‘All in the Family’ today,’ [but] I said ‘What do you mean? We’re living it.' We’ve got Archie in the White House.”

Except Archie had some redeeming qualities while _____ has none.
_____, Twitter attacking CNN’s Don Lemon:

“Lebron James was just interviewed by the dumbest man on television, Don Lemon. He made Lebron look smart, which isn’t easy to do. I like Mike!”

Basically, _____ took to Twitter to say that two black men are dumb.
Don Lemon, firing back on Twitter:

 “Who’s the real dummy? A man who puts kids in classrooms or one who puts kids in cages?”

Snap.
John McCain, accusing fellow GOP Senator Rand Paul of “working for Vladimir Putin” after Paul opposed a Senate unanimous consent request in support of Montenegro’s bid to join NATO and then left the room:

“You are achieving the objectives of Vladimir Putin...trying to dismember this small country which has already been the subject of an attempted coup. I note the senator from Kentucky leaving the floor without justification or any rationale for the action he has just taken. That is really remarkable—that a senator blocking a treaty that is supported by the overwhelming number, perhaps 98 at least of his colleagues, would come to the floor and object and walk away … The only conclusion you can draw when he walks away is he has no argument to be made. He has no justification for his objection to having a small nation be part of NATO that is under assault from the Russians. So, I repeat again, the senator from Kentucky is now working for Vladimir Putin.”

And I think that’s true of most in the Grand Old Party, er, or as Paul sees it, the старинная вечеринка.
Ivanka _____, wants y’all to know that kids in cages was a low point for her:

"That was a low point for me as well. I felt very strongly about that and I am very vehemently against family separation and the separation of parents and children so I would agree with that sentiment. Immigration is incredibly complex as a topic. Illegal immigration is incredibly complicated. I am the daughter of an immigrant, my mother grew up in communist Czech Republic, but we are a country of laws. She came to this country legally and we have to be very careful about incentivizing behavior that puts children at risk of being trafficked, at risk of entering this country with coyotes or making an incredibly dangerous journey alone. These are not easy issues, these are incredibly difficult issues and like the rest of the country, I experienced them actually in a very emotional way."

She was vehemently against it but said nothing. Complicit.
And this “coyote” business? Really, Ivanka? That’s like DeVos saying e need guns in schools because of grizzly bears.
You’re complicit, but here’s someone who said it better than me …
Ana Navarro, on The View, about Ivanka:

 “When Ivanka first came on the scene … I thought this was a great thing, I thought she’s going to soften up her father, is going to be a good, positive influence on her father. This act of, ‘I am vehemently against this, vehemently against that, but at the same time I remain in this complicit administration and I cash in and laugh all the way to the bank, getting patents in China, and selling stuff here and selling stuff there.' The act is getting old.”

Ivanka is a pandering feckless asshat like Daddy.
Don’t let her posturing and calm demeanor fool you; she’s as guilty as the rest of that Klan.

I Didn't Say It ....

Joe Biden, on [t]Rump]s character or there caricature that is t]Rump:

“If you ever talked about people like he does, I’m not joking, I really genuinely mean this..if you ever sat there and talked about how cool it was that John down the street ‘got fired’… You ought to come from a household where some people were fired, where the plant closed down, where all of the sudden they are staring at the ceiling and wondering how in God’s name am I going to make it. I’m being deadly earnest here, this parts not the campaign speech, man. This is about the character of the person we’re talking about electing as the president of the United States.”

Thanks Joe. Once again you make everything so clear. It’s character, something Donald [t]Rump with all his “millions” will never have.
Colin Kaepernick, 49ers quarterback, on his practice socks, which compare police officers to pigs, though he carefully makes the distinction between police officers who unjustly kill citizens, and honorable police officers who serve their communities:

“I wore these socks, in the past, because the rogue cops that are allowed to hold positions in police departments, not only put the community in danger, but also put the cops that have the right intentions in danger by creating an environment of tension and mistrust. I have two uncles and friends who are police officers and work to protect and serve ALL people. So before these socks, which were worn before I took my public stance, are used to distract from the real issues, I wanted to address this immediately.”

We need to be aware that, in every position in life, there are good ones and bad ones, and we need to be able to call out the bad ones without people assuming we mean "all" of them.
Kaeprnick is in no way saying all cops; he 's saying some cops.
That's the distinction.
Eric [t]Rump, finally spilling the tea as to why his Daddy is running for President:

“He opens up the paper each morning and sees our nation’s leaders giving a hundred billion dollars to Iran, or he opens the paper and some new school district has just eliminated the ability for its students to say the pledge of allegiance, or some fire department in some town is ordered by the mayor to no longer fly the American flag on the back of a fire truck. Or he sees the tree on the White House lawn has been renamed ‘holiday tree’ instead of ‘Christmas tree.’ I could go on and on for hours. Those are the very things that made my father run, and those are the very things he cares about.”

Funny, then, that after all this time, Daddy [t]Rump has never mentioned one of these things.
Desperation doesn’t look good on you, Eric, but then, nothing does.
Colton Haynes, newly out actor, on his Human Rights Campaign Visibility Award:

“I never made a decision to be gay. That came just as naturally as the color of my eyes. But … it’s up to me to be honest and open with everyone. And that’s why I’m here tonight, and why it’s so special for me. I’m asked to play so many roles as an actor. But tonight I can actually be myself for the first time. … I don’t necessarily feel especially deserving of this recognition. We all know there are many other people who have come before me and blazed the trail as LGBT advocates and as role models. And I’m walking in their shoes and I’m following their lead. Instead I’ll accept this award as a promise. And this promise is simple and real. And I’m not making it to you. I’m making it to the next generations of lesbians and gay men, bisexuals, and transgender youth, and I hope my example will give them the confidence and hope to be who they are as well. And for them to conquer their own fears and hesitations. I want to give them just a little more courage to know that they’re loved just as they are.”

That’s all any of us can do by coming out is to light the way and provide a path for those who come after.
Rob Reiner, director, on [t]Rump and his visit to Mexico:

“Clearly we are not sending our best to Mexico. We’re sending liars. We’re sending narcissists. We’re sending sociopaths.”

Luckily the people of Mexico didn’t fall for his tricks; now, if only America would get that memo.
