I Didn't Say It

Jamie Lee Curtis, on Kanye West’s anti-Semitic Twitter rant:

"I woke up and burst into tears. ‘Death con 3 on Jewish people’? What are you doing? It's bad enough that fascism is on the rise around the world but on Twitter? On a portal to pour that in as if Jewish people haven't had it hard enough? It's just abhorrent. I hope he gets help. I hope his children get help from him. It's terrible. If we aren't reacting, who are we What does it say about people who aren't reacting? The holiest day in Judaism was last week. Words matter. A threat to Jewish people ended once in a genocide. Your words hurt and incite violence. You are a father. Please stop.”

Carlos and I just finished watching The US and the Holocaust, the Ken Burns documentary, and to see and hear this kind of Hate speech now, and again, when we always thought we could never go back to those hate-filled days. The way this country treated the Jews in the days before WWII, during the warm, and even after we knew what was being done is sickening.

It’s disgusting; Kanye is disgusting; he needs to get back on his meds, find a quiet place and keep his mouth shut for a good long time.

Lindsey Graham, South Carolina GOP lapdog, blaming the media for circulating the stories that Herschel Walker paid an ex-girlfriend to get an abortion:

“If you’re waiting on the media to tell you about what’s going on in Georgia, you’re going wait a hell of a long time. Remember Kavanaugh? Remember how they played the game right at the end? They come up with some letter, take the guy, blindside, another allegation, another allegation trying to drive him out.”

Um, ma’am, I know how you like to stand up for men, or lay down for them, but seriously? Defending a man accused of rape and another man who paid for his girlfriend’s abortion, and then tried to pay for a second one?

John McCain, right now, is rolling over in his grave seeing what a pathetic pandering party over country, thing 45 goose-stepping lapdog you’ve become.

Get a spine, bitch.

Herschel Walker, speak of the Devil, tossing yet another word salad:

“I been telling this little story about this bull out in the field with six cows, and three of them are pregnant. So, you know he got something goin’ on. But all he cared about is keep his nose against the fence looking at three other cows that didn’t belong to him. Now all he had to do is eat grass. But no, no, no. He thought something was better somewhere else. So, he decided, ‘I want to get over there.’ So one day he measured that fence up, and he said, ‘I think I can jump this.’ So that day came where he got back. And as he got back and as he took off runnin’, he dove over that fence and his belly got cut up onto the bottom. But as he made it onto the other side, he shook it off and got so excited about it. And he ran to the top of that hill, but when he got up there he realized they were bulls too. So what I’m telling you, don’t think something is better somewhere else. This is the greatest country in the world today.”

Hey Herschel? That’s ‘the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence,’ but leave it to you to turn it into a story of a bull who got three cows pregnant and then broke through another fence hoping to knock up more cows.

Projection much?

Tulsi Gabbard, announcing that she’s leaving the Democratic Party:

“I can no longer remain in today’s Democratic Party that is now under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness, who divide us by racializing every issue & stoke anti-white racism, actively work to undermine our God-given freedoms, are hostile to people of faith & spirituality, demonize the police & protect criminals at the expense of law-abiding Americans, believe in open borders, weaponize the national security state to go after political opponents, and above all, dragging us ever closer to nuclear war.”

Tulsi, dear, you were never a Democrat, but always, as Hillary warned us, a Russian asset, so don’t let the door hit you where the good lord split, comrade.

Tommy Tuberville, Alabama GOP Senator, compared descendants of enslaved people to criminals to an over-whelming white crowd:

"[The Democrats] want crime because they want to take over what you got. They want to control what you have. They want reparations because they think the people that do the crime are owed that,. Bullsh*t! They are not owed that."

First off, reparation to criminals has never been a thing; reparations are compensation for those who have suffered wrongdoing, as Black Americans have whose ancestors were enslaved.

But leave it to the GOP to basically say all Black are criminals.

Derrick Johnson, NAACP president, on Tuberville’s remarks:

“Senator Tuberville’s comments are flat out racist, ignorant and utterly sickening. His words promote a centuries-old lie about Black people that throughout history has resulted in the most dangerous policies and violent attacks on our community. We’ve seen this before from the far-right, and we’ve seen what they can do when they take power. Next time the Senator wants to talk about crime, he should talk about [Thing 45’s] hate-fueled rally on January 6, 2021, and the attacks that followed. Perhaps the real criminals are in his orbit.”

I know it’s been growing a long time, and I know it was exacerbated by America’s overwhelming support of our first Black president, but Thing 45 has made hate, and racism, and homophobia, acceptable in this country and anyone disgusted by it, who continues to vote for the GOP, is also to blame.

Do not elect hate.

Bobservations

Carlos does a lot of research into his eyesight and anything that can be done to help it. The latest thing is saffron—which he pronounces say-fren—and so he wanted to buy some. I found some at our local grocer which was nice because I thought we’d have to drive out to this Middle Eastern market we love.

Cut to a few weeks later, and we’re in the grocery and Carlos says:

We need more sayfren.

Saffron.

Whatever.

He asks where it is and I tell him it’s on the far side of the store, last aisle, right hand side, halfway down, eye level with the Mexican spices and dried peppers—what can I say, I am good with directions—and off he goes.

But he doesn’t come back when I think he should so I go off in search, and there he is … far side of the store, last aisle, right hand side,  about a quarter way down the aisle looking at the bottom shelf, where the Thai spices and coconut milk sit.

I walk past and mutter:

Far side of the store, last aisle, right hand side,  halfway down, eye level with the Mexican spices and dried peppers and here it is.

Oh, good.

Goddess love him.

Now, onto the rest of the Bobservations that are _____ heavy because I am disgusted by what this traitorous rapist is doing to America and if we don’t vote his flabby orange ass from office in November, I don’t know if we’ll ever recover from him.

After Trump calls it unfair, the DOJ reduced his BFF Roger Stone’s sentencing recommendation, and four DOJ prosecutors resigned in disgust.

The criminals are running the show people. Pay fucking attention.

Last fall, before his heart attack, Bernie Sanders promised to release his medical records before the first votes were cast … last week. He said the “American people have a right to know whether the person they’re going to be voting for for president is healthy. And we will certainly release our medical records before the primary.” But Iowa came and went, and New Hampshire happened, but Bernie is singing a different tune:

“I mean, you can start releasing medical records and it never ends. We’ve released a substantive part—all of our background. We have doctors who have, cardiologists confirming that I am in good health. I am in good health.”

But that’s not what you promised, Bernie, and it makes you sound like _____ with his taxes. And considering you had a heart attack after that first statement … give us some transparency man.

In just another in a long line of reasons why she would never get my vote—like she ever would—this presidential hopeful Tulsi Gabbard defended _____’s decision to fire Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman for being a patriot.

Tulsi, c’mon. Come out already … you’re a Republican.

You wanna know where America’s headed under ____? Think on this … This week IMPOTUS praised China’s death penalty for drug dealers.

Deal drugs in China? Die. Rape women in the US? You’re the President.

More on ____? Remember that Iran attack on the American Airbase in Iraq last month?

Remember when _____ said there were no injuries? Then said there were 25 …then 34 …then over 50 traumatic brain injuries that he compared to headaches?

New report says there were more than 100 Americans injured in that attack. Thanks to _____.

Palette Cleanser needed … So, I give you Alberto García Cabrera. Mr. Spain 2010  and noncommissioned officer of the Air Force who combines the best that his passion for modeling and his military profession can.

Alberto supports and collaborates with the organization "Orphans of the Air Force " that cares for the orphans of the military and civilian personnel of the Air Force and of the Common Defense Corps.

And he looks damned hot doing it.
