Politics are funny, but they're also serious. The political and media arena generate the people that make important decisions or peddle influence, and as such, most of us pay attention to what they say and do. Words come before actions, so it is in this light I list notable quotes and their authors. I am not editing or changing any of their words; anything within quotation marks is 100% what they said and can be easily verified on the internet.
(Vice President) Kamala Harris: "Ukraine is a country in Europe. It exists next to another country called Russia. Russia is a bigger country. Russia is a powerful country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine." (Really? No shit, you don't say?)
(NY Gov) Kathy Hochul: "I don't know why locking up criminals is so important to you." (Yeah, shame on us. How dare we think that way?)
(Race Baiter) Jesse Jackson: (From an interview in Life magazine, 1969) Just before leaving the kitchen he would spit into the food of white patrons he hated and then smilingly serve it to them. He did this, he said, “because it gave me psychological gratification.” (Thanks for proving you're a racist, Rev. What do you think Jesus would say about that?)
(Media Mogul) Oprah Winfrey: "They just have to die." (Any plans to put older white people in Concentration Camps you'd like to mention, lady?)
(Mess-NBC Race Baiter) Joy Reid: "I was hacked." (A blatant lie trying to deny multiple homophobic slurs she made on her blog.)
(Also-ran) Hillary Clinton: "We just can't trust the American people to make those types of choices ... Government has to make those choices for people." (And that, Hillary is exactly why Americans didn't trust you in 2016!)
Bill Clinton: "It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is." (WTF, over?)
The Rev. Al Sharpton: "We don't owe America anything. America owes us." (Oh, shut up and pay your taxes, Al.)
(TV Show The View Panel Member) Sunny Hostin: "What’s also surprising to me is the abortion issue. I read a poll just yesterday that White Republican suburban women are now going to vote Republican. It’s almost like roaches voting for Raid, right?" (Seriously? White women are roaches? Like what Hitler called the Jews in Germany? I did Nazi that coming.)
(TV Show The View Co-host) Joy Behar: Isn’t it a little racist to call it Black Friday? (Only if it's a crime to describe you as bringing Joy to anybody.)
(TV Show The View Co-host) Whoopi Goldberg: "The Holocaust isn't about race." (Yeah, try selling that line of bullshit in Tel Aviv.)
(US Rep) Maxine Waters: “God is on our side." (Dag nab it. That God guy is so easily swayed.)
(Mass Rep) Dylan Fernandes: "We are a community that comes together to support immigrants." (After kicking them out of Martha's Vineyard in less than a day.)
(US Rep) Nancy Pelosi: "Every month that we do not have an economic recovery package 500 million Americans lose their jobs." (Well, there goes the neighborhood.)
(Also-ran) Al Gore: "During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet." (Yes, tut-tut, of course you did. And myself, I invented the electricity it runs on.)
Barack Obama: "I’ve now been in 57 states. I think one left to go." (Oh crap. Can anybody lend me a new map?)
(Singer) Sheryl Crow: "I propose a limitation be put on how many sqares [sic] of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting. Now, I don’t want to rob any law-abiding American of his or her God-given rights, but I think we are an industrious enough people that we can make it work with only one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where 2 to 3 could be required." (Remind us again what it is you eat, Sheryl. Do you, perchance, eat fruit?)
(US Rep) Hank Johnson: "My fear is that the whole island (of Guam) will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize." (If I were you, Hank, I'd sue whatever schools you attended. If I were on the jury, I'd side with your lawsuit.)
Joe Biden: "All men and women are created by the... you know the... you know, the thing." (Consider yourself lucky Kamala is next in line, Joe. That's probably what's saving you from invoking the 25th amendment.)
Seriously. These are all noted liberal Democrats that have (or had) a hand in shaping our government into what it is today. With all the Trump hatred still out there, with the very serious effort of the Democrats in power to try to remove even a chance of his name being on a ballot ... With all of what is going on currently ...
How the fuck can any sane person align with this party or cast a vote for any of these people?
