Shut Up Fool Awards-STILL Dealing With The 'Rona Edition

The month of March is mercifully over, and we have now flipped a calendar page to April and another uncertain month of dealing with the COVID-19 virus.

And yes, even in the midst of a pandemic fools are everywhere, and it's my job to call them out.

Honorable mention number one is Jerry Falwell Jr for reopening Liberty University and thinking that COVID-19 was just going to miraculously pass by his campus. 

Naw player, it didn't.

Honorable mention number two goes to every Republican politician who laughed and poo-pooed it when Democratic leaders took action in their areas, and are now belatedly realizing Rona ain't playing with y'all.

Honorable mention number three  is Cubic Zirconia and Polyester er Diamond and Silk. 

They decided to coon it up for Trump in those horrid wigs and peddle the lie that the 'Deep State' is responsible for creating the coronavirus specifically to hurt Trump's reelection chances.

And you sellouts wanna know why y'all sitting on the cookout sidelines with Stacey Dash, Candace Owens, Paris Dennard  and Uncle Thomas

Honorable mention number four is Idaho governor Brad Little (R) who signed two anti-trans bills into law the day before TDOV.   The Idaho legislature didn't have time to deal with COVID-19, but they made time to oppress trans people.

I repeat, the most dangerous transphobe is the one that has legislative power.  Since Republicans are the peeps pushing these unjust laws, time for trans folks to bumrush the polls and vote our GOP oppressors out of office. .

Oh yeah. Idaho.  See y'all in court.

This week's Shut Up Fool Winner brigs me back to the Lone Star State and my southeast Texas part of it to call out US House candidate Kathaleen Wall.She's decided she's tired of being the money behind many area  Republican candidates and is trying to snag the GOP nomination for the 22nd Congressional District down in Fort Bend County.

Wall decided to deploy some anti-Asian bigotry in her fight against Fort Bend County Sheriff Troy Nehls.  She ran a commercial for her runoff against Nehls that stated 'China poisoned our people.'   The ad also called China 'a criminal enterprise masquerading as a sovereign nation.'

Kathaleen really needs to stop talking about the Trump misadministration like that.

Not the first time this cycle she has run some problematic commercials, but this one is getting her azz called out.  Fort Bend County has a large Asian population, and Sri Preston Kulkarni, the Democratic nominee, has already called out Wall's racism.

"Irresponsible, race-baiting comments like these from Kathaleen Wall are unacceptable and dangerous to TX-22’s large Asian American and Pacific Islander population, who are intimately aware of the FBI warning about the recent surge of hate crimes against their community," 
But she doesn't care, as long as she gets enough bigot votes to propel her past Troy Nehls and into the general election.

Kathaleen Wall, shut up fool!

Shut Up Fool Awards- Dealing With The 'Rona Edition

Like many of you I'm chilling in my crib now experiencing the third day of Houston's 'Stay Home Work Safe' shelter in place order.   It's basically my life, so for now I'm good.

Amd since it's Friday, let me get to this week's fools.

Honorable mention number one is Lügenpräsident, AKA Donald Trump.   Just pick a lie he's told this week.   FYI:  Lügenpräsident means in German, 'lying president'.
Honorable meeting number two is FOX Noise for enabling his lying azz.

Honorable mention number three is Jerry Falwell Jr, who still seems to think (do evilgelicals every think?) that COVID-19 is a joke.

Honorable mention number four is Texas Lt Governor Dan Patrick.    Potty Dan went on FOX Noise and basically stated that your elderly relatives should be willing to die to save our economy.

Naw Potty Dan.  How about you and ever other Republican lead by example.

This week's Shut Up Fool winner is the late Landon Spradlin.

He was the evilgelical COVID 19 denier who claimed the virus was a hoax, and put out a misleading meme on March 13 claiming the media was 'using COVID 19 to hurt Trump'.

Gee, where have I heard that propaganda line before?

He fell ill while returning from a trip to NOLA on March 17, and during his time there initially tested negative for COVID-19 in New Orleans.   He was ill with bronchitis and pneumonia, and Spradlin's pneumonia got worse during the drive back home to Virginia.

During a stop in Concord, NC, he wasn't breathing as his wife Jean struggled to pull him out of the car.  In the NC hospital he tested positive for COVID-19, and also had double pneumonia.

He died on Wednesday from the virus he claimed was a hoax.  Spradlin's wife Jean is still hospitalized

As my Birthday Twin Deirdre Square said on my Facebook page, "Ignorance will get you killed. Believing a liar’s lies will get you killed."
And to piggyback off what she said, not taking COVID 19 seriously will also get you killed.

Don't be a fool.  Listen to what the experts are telling you.   Stay safe.

Shut Up Fool Awards- First Day Of Spring Edition

Today is the first full day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere.   The birds are singing, the temps are getting warmer ,and unfortunately more peeps in the US are testing positive for COVID-19.

If they can even get a test.    But that's a rant for later.

Time to handle this week's TransGriot Shut Up Fool Award business

Let me just go straight to this week's winner in my home state's senior senator, John Cornyn (R)

Trying to defend Fearless Misleader for his Chinese virus comments, Cornyn let his pointed hood show and went on a rant that not only blamed china for COVID-19 and other pandemics that started

"China is to blame because they eat bats and snakes and dogs and things like that, " said Cornyn.

He was not only put on blast by Rep Judy Chu (D-CA) the chair of the Congressional Asian Pacific Islander Caucus, but a long list of liberal progressive voices and legislators.

Not only are you being put on blast for you loud and wrong comments, guess you forgot about the rattlesnake roundups they have in many West Texas towns in which they not only milk rattlesnake venom to produce an antidote for rattlesnake bites, they fry fresh rattlesnake meat for festival goers to eat. 

So glad your azz is on the ballot in November.  It's past time to make you an ex-senator

Oh yeah, Sen. John Cornyn, Shut Up Fool!
 

Shut Up Fool Awards- In The ATX Edition

I'm here after another ride on the Bougie Bus in the ATX again, and it doesn't involve me spending a huge chunk of my day at the Pink Dome. 

Instead, I'm on Forty Acres, AKA the UT-Austin campus to participate in their inaugural Educate Out Loud Symposium.   I'm delivering their closing keynote later this afternoon.

But it's still Friday, which means I gots to call a fool out this week.

Honorable mention number one goes to the Bernbots, who have been losing their collective minds since their lord and political savior lost big in South Carolina and subsequently on Super Tuesday, and have been blaming everybody but their piss poor candidate.

Honorable Mention number two is a group award for the Trump Misadministration, for the way they have botched this response to the COVID-19 Coronavirus

Honorable Mention number three is Donald Trump.    Just pick a lie and idiotic action of his for this week.

This weeks Shut Up Fool winner is Rep Matt Gaetz (R-FL)

This fool wore a gas mask to poke fun at the COVID-19 virus.  Then it turned out that one of his constituents died from it, and his azz is now in a 14 day quarantine because he interacted with a CPAC attendee who tested positive for COVID-19

Can you say karma, people?   Thought you could.

Oh, one other thing I need to say.    Matt Gaetz, shut up fool! .
  

Shut Up Fool Awards- Last Day To Vote Early In Texas Primary Edition

While the rest of you in other parts of the country have been fixated on news from the Nevada Caucuses and the South Carolina primary tomorrow, we've been early voting in Texas for our March 3 primary election since February 18.

And if you live in Texas, you have until 7 PM to get in line and early vote, otherwise you'll need to handle your electoral business on Tuesday March 3

if you still need help making up your mind who to vote for, I have some suggestions.

So while the rest of the country has been focused on debates and other punditry focused on Nevada and now South Carolina, we've been handling our business.

Just as a reminder, Texas has 228 Democratic delegates up for grabs on March 3.  the only state that has more than we do is California, with 416 delegates.

It's Friday, so that means I get to select a fool or group of fools for this week's edition of the TransGriot Shut Up Fool Awards!

Honorable mention number one is the four House Repugnicans who voted against the Emmett Till Act to make lynching a federal hate crime.  I see 2018 SUF Lifetime Achievement Award Winner Louie Gohmert (R-TX) did so along with Thomas Massie (R-KY) , Ted Yoho (R-FL) and Justin Amash (I-MI). that passed 410-4

Honorable mention number two is Cubic Zirconia and Polyester Diamond and Silk for doing what they do and cooning it up for their conservamassas at the CPAC convention


Honorable mention number three is Donald Trump, SR for trying to claim an NBC reporter was 'racist' for leaving his BS Black History Month White House meeting chock full of kneegrow sellout in town for CPAC.

Dude, don't even try it.  You don't get to make that call, we do as the peeps you're oppressing. 
You were endorsed by David Duke and a have Stephen Miller's white supremacist azz on your staff.

Honorable mention number four is Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX).  Eduardo bit off more than he can chew when he stepped to Rep Alexandria Ocasio Cortez on social media concerning her scientific knowledge and got pwned for it.

Ocasio Cortez as a high school student, won a prestigious microbiology prize from MIT and her degree is in microbiology.

When are you conservafools gonna learn to not come for Rep Ocasio Cortez unless she sends for your azz?

This week's winner is Donald Trump, Jr.

He went on FOX Noise to asset that Democrats are hoping the Coronavirus kills millions of Americans to make his idiot father look bad. 

Been saying derisively for years that Junior was as stupid as his father, but today, he exceeded dear old Dad in WTF level idiocy.

Donald Trump, Jr, shut up fool!

Shut Up Fool Awards- We're Voting In Texas Edition

While ther rest of you peeps are focused on Nevada and their caucus happeing tomorrow, what y'all aren't aware of is that Texas started early voting on Tuesday for our March 3 primary election in whcih 222 delegates to the DNC in Milwaukee will be up for grabs.

Early voting will last in the Lone Star State until February 28, and if you don't habdle your early voting business by that date, you'll have to wait until march 3 to vote in either the Democratic or Republican Party primaries.

That's my public service message for you to take your soul (and a few of your friends souls) to the poling places near you and handle your voting business.

Speaking of handling some business, time to handle our weekly Friday business of calling out fools and seeing which one earned the coveted TransGriot Shut Up Fool Award.

Honorable mention number one was Briahna Joy Gray, the press secretary to Bernie Sanders. 
She channeled her inner Sarah Sanders to declare that people asking for Bernie's medical records because his azz had a heart attack a few months ago, is akin to birtherism.

Naw boo boo kitty, it isn't.   It's because inquiring minds wanna know if Sanders' 78 year old azz  is healthy enough to actually survive a term in a pressure packed office that turn Barack Obama's hair gray after serving two terms.

Let me move on to Honorable mention number two, the Texas Southern University Board of Regents, who fired Dr Austin Lane, TSU's now former president, over the objections of TSU students and TSU alumni

They admitted Lane was not ivolved in the Thurgood Marshall Law School admissions scandal, so why are you terminating him and paying him nearly a million dollars to go?. 

The only people bringing shame to TSU are you boneheads

Honorable mention number three is a group award for The Breakfast Club, who brought the HeSheDummy Marcus' problematic azz on their show again.

Not even wasting my valuable time listening to it.

This week's winner is Boosie Badazz, the D-List rapper who opened his big mouth and let something transphobic come out of it in regards to Zaya Wade.

Dude, you are the last person to give anyone parenting advice, since you were willing to let someone sexually assault your cisgender male child.

And FYI you ignorant kneegrow, you don't get to have a say about Zaya Wade, period.  Trans people's lives, and especially our Black trans kids; lives are not up for debate or discussion. 

Let me say it again in case you didn't comprehend it the first time.

Zaya is a girl. She's told you she is a girl. Her parents unconditionally love and support her. That settles it.   Move on.  
D-Wade and Gabby got this in terms of knowing what's best for their child, and you need to get back to not raising yours properly.

Boosie Not So Badazz, shut up fool 
.

Shut Up Fool Awards- Showing No Love For Fools Edition

Today is February14, which means it's Single Appreciation Day.    Flower shops and stores are crowded with people getting last minute gifts for their loved ones, while restaurants will be crowded with couples later tonight.

Today is also Friday, and y'all know what that means.   It's SUF Day, and I'm showing zero love for any fools today.

Honorable mention goes to Franklin Graham for being mad he just reaped what he's trying to sow onto millions of YBLGQ+ people.

Another honorable mention goes to every fauxtep ranting about Zaya Wade and her parents support of her.

Honorable mention number four goes to Ben Carson, who made the WTF level statekment that the people who work at Mar-aLago show that trump is 'not racist'.

Dude, what weed have you been smoking?

Honorable mention number four goes to Mike Bloomberg, who thinks he can buy his way to the 2020  Democratic presidential nomination as his dirty political laundry comes tumbling out of the closet .

And naw, I'm definitely not feeling Bloomberg.

Honorable mention number five is John Kelly

Kelly, after being silent all this time since he got bounced from the Trump White House, now decides to become Billy Badazz and start critizing the impeached Idiot in Thief over Ukraine and the retalitory firng of Col Alexander Vindman .

Frankly, it's too little and way too late.   On top of that Mr Kelly, I'm not interested in anything to have to say now unless it is prefaced by an apology to Rep, Frederica  Wilson (D-FL) or it's testimony to any US House committee investigating Orange Fooliuis

This week's Shut Up Fool winner is Wendy Williams.

Miss Thang put her pumps in her mouth by unleashing a homophobic rant that appeared to be aimed at POSE's Billy Porter.    Wendy said that gay men should stop wearing our skirts and heels.



That comment triggered a swift backlash that caused Wendy to retact that statement.

News flash Wendy.  There are cis women on this planet who don't menstruate or have the ability to bear a child.  Does that make them men?   Hell naw.

You've been probematic for a long time, and I just don't have the bandwith today to to channel my inner Elekta Wintour and read your azz.    Mr T, can you do the honors?

Wendy Williams, shut up Fool!

The 2020 SUF Lifetime Achievement Award Winners Are...

This is the night you TransGriot Readers have all been waiting for.   Tonight is the night you will discover who will join all the not so distinguished reprehensible people who will live in SUF Lifetime Achievement Awards infamy.

Just as a reminder, these are the folks who won it in 2019, and this is the complete list of awardees going back to 2010.   We're starting a new decade properly by adding ten more fools to this list.

They will still be eligible for weekly awards if they continue to say and do stuff that puts me in the position in which I must call them out.

It's also a reminder as Mr T warned us, fools are everywhere.

So lets cut the jibber jabber and get to what you peeps wanted to know.

This year's TransGriot SUF Lifetime Achievement Awards Class of 2020 is.

Kellyanne Conway
Candace Owens
Steve Radack
Betsy DeVos
Franklin Graham

Jim Bakker
Robert Jeffress
JK Rowling
British PM Boris Johnson
Rep Doug Collins (R-GA)  
     

Shut Up Fool Awards- First Friday In February Edition

It seemed like it took January six months to pass, but we finally got the apportunity to flip the 2020 calendar page to February and go through the first full week of it.

And as usual, the fools are all among us.  So let's get started calling some ignorant mofos out.

Honorable mention this week was EVERY Republican senator who despite a Mout everest of evidence that shows that Donald Trump did what the house impeached his orange azz for, they voted to not only not call any witnesses, they voted to acquit him. 

 I hope and pray that every American citizen outraged about this carriage of injustice fires their GOP senator at the polls  on November 3.

The other honorable mention this week is Michael Bloomberg, who revealed to the world through a leaked 2016 video that he's a transphobe.  Yeah, I'm  calling that azz  out at the JRR next week

This week's winner is Mike Pompeo.

The conservafools are big mad that Speaker Pelosi ripped up Orange Foolius' SOTU propaganda rant speech when he was done gaslighting his conservasheeple, and Pompeo decided to troll Speaker Pelosi with a pic of Lisa Simpson crying as she rips up a speech she'd written.

Pompeo failed to realize since he probably never watches the show that he played himself.
.
That moment Pompeo screen grabbed is from a The Simpson's episode called ' Mr Lisa Goes to Washington'.  She wins an all expenses paid trip to DC for her and her family as a result of winning an essay contest, and is a finalist for a $10,000 prize.

During the trip, she witnesses her congressman taking a bribe, and she concludes she must change the spech she'd originally written.   She rips it up, and writes a new one that calls out the cesspool of corruption inside I-495.

But then again, that would go over Pompeo's head because as Trump's Secretary of State,  he is part of the most corrupt regime in US history

Michael Watts said it best in his blogpost about Pompeo's self pwning..

Unfortunately, Mr. Pompeo is part of an administration that is willing to sacrifice our ideals for the sake of achieving some type of short-term instant gratification instead of a lasting long-term investment. I can’t tell whether Pompeo is the congressman or the lobbyist because they are both going for the quick fix; the congressman for the rush of power or the lobbyist for the rush of making good on an investment.

And Mr. Pompeo should know better about surrendering our values given that he was trained as an Army officer at West Point where cadets are taught there are ideas and principles worth defending, fighting, and if necessary, sacrificing for them. 

Perhaps he forgot them upon leaving the Army.

Mike Pompeo, shut up fool! 

Shut Up Fool Awards -11th Anniversary Edition

On January 30, 2009, I started what is probably the most popular feature on my blog in the TransGriot Shut Up Fool weekly awards.

Ever since I bestowed FOX Noise's Juan Williams with my first ever Shut Up Fool Award, I've been calling them out for the last now 11 years.

The weekly awards morphed into a Shut Up Fool of the Year award I reveal on New Year's Eve,  and a Shut Up Fool Lifetime Achievement Awards I do on Oscars night.

Eleven years later, still doing the Shut Up Fool Awards because frankly, there is a never ending list of fools to call out, and it's gotten worse since Orange Foolius started desecrating the White House.

And on these electronic pages, we don't pity fools, we expose them and call them out

Let see who won this week's Shut Up Fool Award shall we?

This week's 11th Anniversary Fool is none other than MSNBC anchor Alison Morris.

She locked up this week's SUF Award by opening her mouth during Sunday's reporting of the death of Kobe Bryant, his daughter and 7 other people in a helicopter crash by clearly saying the n-word,
then trying to lie and gaslight us in to believing she didn't say what we clearly heard Broadcast Becky say.

Here's the receipts.

Naw boo boo kitty, you said it.   Obviously you are very comfortable saying that word, otherwise it wouldn't have slid out of your pretty little mouth so easily on air.   And what even more irritating about this episode is the rush of white run media, including Snopes, to try to gaslight or minimize it.

Nope, we heard it.   So stop trying to gaslight America , apologize, and move on. 

But before you do, Alison Morris, Shut Up Fool!

Shut Up Fool Awards- Post MLK Day 2020 Edition

Another MLK Day has come and gone, and now the GOP can stop pretending they care about racial justice and equality and go right back to being the racist azzholes they and their MAGA hat wearing supporters are.

And yeah, because they were pretending, sure as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, you can wager you paychecks that they opened their mouths on this latest edition of our federal holiday honoring Dr King they opposed and let stupid crap fly out of it.

And yeah, I gots to call them out on it.

Honorable mention for this week's SUF honors goes to Cruella Betsy DeVos, who said that people who support abortion are like the folks who were pro slavery before the Civil War.

Really fool?  You had that expensive private school 'edjumacation and that toro poo poo came out of your mouth? 

It's a ongoing joke and an embarrassment to the United States that you are the Secretary of Education.

This week's winner is Kellyanne Conway.

The White House Crypt Keeper opened up her mouth on King Day and also let something stupid fly out of it.

She said that the Rev Dr Martin Luther King Jr if he were alive, would be against the Trump impeachment trial.   It was a comment that the Rev Bernice King, Dr King's youngest daughter, quickly went to Twitter and checked Madame Alternative Facts on.

Be A King

@BerniceKing

Until a person commits to better understanding and then better understands my father’s teachings and methodologies, I REALLY wish they’d keep his name, and incorrect analysis, out of their conversations about current issues. #MLKDay

#MLK

Is is November 3 yet?

All together peeps, Kellyanne Conway, shut up fool!

Shut Up Fool Awards - The Moni's At CC20 Edition

As many of you are already aware of, I'm on the other end of I-45 in Dallas to take part in the latest edition of Creating Change in Dallas.

While I have been busy getting my learn on, participating in panels and enjoying seeing old friends and meeting new ones, the world keeps on turning and the fools keep on being fools.

So let me get right to this week's fool. 

This week's Shut Up Fool winner is former NY mayor and current Democratic presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg.

Bloomberg is trying to buy his way into the White House, and his TV commercials here in Texas have already hit the ad nauseum level for me.   

Something else that made me nauseous and earned him this week's award is making the comment that his odious Stop and Frisk policy that NYPD gleefully executed against Black, Latinx and trans New Yorkers was 'to help Blacks'

Really? 

Sunny Hostin quickly put that azz on blast on The View when she blew up that lie.



And as Hostin noted, he was still vociferously defending that policy last January, but only apologized for it after he jumped into the presidential race and he realized that Black Democrats are big mad about that stop and frisk policy.

All together people.   Michael Bloomberg, Shut Up Fool!

The 2019 Shut Up Fool Of The Year Is...

Another 365 days have passed, and it's time to add another fool or (group of fools) to our distinguished and highly anticipated list of idiots,

These are the folks who have engaged in outright lying, massive hypocrisy, engaged in brazen  gaslighting, or consistently exhibited WTF levels of lunacy and gob smacking ignorance.

And no, Donald Trump isn't our winner.   That's would be too easy to give it to him.  Besides, I gave Twitler the TransGriot Shut Up Fool of the Decade award already, and he's the only two time winner (2015-2016) of a TransGriot Shut Up Fool of the Year award.

These are the previous winners of the TransGriot Shut up Fool of the Year Award

2009- Michael Steele
2010- Sarah Palin
2011- Herman Cain
2012- Mitt Romney
2013- Ted Cruz
2014- Louie Gohmert
2015- Donald Trump
2016- Donald Trump
2017- Dan Patrick
2018- Sarah Huckabee Sanders

Who will join them tonight>   We had plenty of contenders for the ward,   Cruella  Betsy DeVos, Rep Jim Jordan (R-OH),  Rep Devin Nunes (R-CA),  Kellyanne Conway, Laura Ingraham, Sucker Tucker Carlson, Jerry Jones,, Rep Doug Collins (R-GA), Gov. Matt Bevin (R-KY), Franklin Graham, Rev Jim Jeffress, TX State Rep Briscoe Cain (R), Candace Owens, Diamond and Silk,  TX State Rep Bill Zedler (R), JK Rowling, and group nominations for the Republican Party, the TERFs and every TBLGQ person who voted for Trump . 

That was the level of idiocy I had to wade though, and it's now time to cut the jibber jabber and announce this year's winner.

The envelope please.

This year's 2019 Shut Up Fool of the Year is HUD secretary Ben Carson

What the hell happened to the man who was a gifted brain surgeon?   Did someone give him a GOP cranial rinse and make him this conservastupid?   

And naw Uncle Ben, haven't forgotten all the transphobic crap you spouted this year as well. 

Don't even get me started on the cooning for Trump you did at that Blacks For Trump rally in the ATL.

Ben Carson, Shut Up Fool of the Year!

The Shut Up Fool Of The Decade Is....

On January 30, 2009 I started one of the more popular features on my blog in the weekly Shut Up Fool Awards.    My inaugural fool for that week was FOX Noise Contributor Juan Williams.

The Shut Up Fool weekly awards begat a Shut Up Fool of the Year, that I announced on New Year's Eve also starting in 2009, with the inaugural winner being then RNC chair Michael Steele.

The blog had only been in operation then for three years, so at that time I wasn't thinking about doing a Shut up Fool of the Decade award.

With TransGriot about to turn 14 years old on New Year's Day, and the blog having been operational for the entire decade of the 2010's, I think it's definitely appropriate to follow up on Brandon Mack's suggestion and name a Shut Up Fool of the Decade.

While I considered group awards for Fox Noise, The Republican Party, the evilgelicals, the TERFs,  Alex Jones, Rush Limbaugh and Mitch McConnell just to name a few, there's really only one person who so richly deserves this inaugural Shut Up Fool of the Decade Award.

That person would be the only repeat winner of a TransGriot Shut Up Fool of the Year  award, and he actually could have won it for several more years because he'd done and said enough WTF level stuff to justify it. 

So enough jibber jabber, let's get to it. 

The winner of the inaugural TransGriot Shut Up Fool of the Decade Award is Donald Trump
   

Shut Up Fool Awards- Moni's In NOLA Edition

Aww yeah, I'm back in NOLA for the NLGJA convention, and Southern Decadence is also happening just blocks from our convention hotel near the French Quarter

Guess someone on the NLGJA planning committee noted that it was happening and made sure when they chose the dates for this year's conference we'd be here at the same time.

But before I roll out of this hotel to check it out, got convention business to handle.  The other business I need to handle is calling our this week's fool not named Donald John Trump.

That would be Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME)   

Sen Collins is upset because her support of (In)Justice Brett Kavanaugh (boo,hiss)  has made it more likely that when November 2020 rolls around she will be an ex-senator. 

Well, boo boo kitty, you knew this man was unpopular and woefully unqualified for the SCOTUS,  your constituents didn't want you voting to confirm him and made it clear where they stood, but you did what you always do with your 'F' NAACP Congressional Report Card rated self does and kiss up to the conservafool wing.

Even Stevie Wonder can see you ain't a 'moderate', and you're going down to electoral defeat next year because peeps have had enough of your fauxgressive crap .

And oh yeah,   Sen Susan Collins, shut up fool!

Shut Up Fool Awards- Texas Tax Free Weekend 2019 Edition

It's become the second busiest shopping weekend besides the Christmas holiday season, and that's Texas Tax Free weekend.

School is starting in many Texas districts next week.  The tax free weekend started back in 1999 in order to give parents gearing up for back to school an opportunity to buy all the things they need for their kids and ease the sales tax load.

If you're buying clothing, footwear, school supplies and backpacks priced under $100 from either a store in the Lone Star State or an online website that does business in Texas from August 9-11, what you purchase is exempted from Texas sales taxes this weekend.

Speaking of booming business, time to call out some fools because under this misadminstration, Shut Up Fool business is booming.

While there were many worthy fools to call out like Candace Owens, Dolt 45, Potty Dan Patrick,  Mike Huckabee, Mike Pence, Louie Gohmert and Sucker Tucker Carlson who made my job hard to pick just one out, this week I had to go with Ohio State Rep Candice Keller for the win.

Keller laughingly tried to blame the mass terror shootings in El Paso and Dayton in a personal Facebook post she later deleted on former POTUS Obama, and 'breakdown of the American family caused by transgender, homosexual and drag queen advocates'.

Did I mention that Miss Right Wing Thang is trying to run for the Ohio State Senate?

Naw Candice, let's place the blame where it really lies.  Easy availability of assault weapons to anyone who wishes to buy them, and Republican legislators like you refusing to do anything about it because you're 'scurred' of the NRA

Military weapons that kill mass quantities of humans in seconds do not belong on American streets.  It's not the trans community fault that you're too cowardly to do your job as a legislator and fix the problem.   If you are unwilling to do that, maybe it's time for you to become an ex-legislator.

And oh yeah, you need some drag queens in your pathetic life to give you a makeover.   But even they don't have the makeup skills to cover the ugliness that is deep down in your bones

Candice Keller, shut up fool

Shut Up Fool Awards- Bringing It Back Edition

One of the most popular features in the decade plus history of the blog is the TransGriot Shut Up Fool Awards in which I have called out the blatant lies, ridiculous mind numbing statements, hypocrisy and the coonery and buffoonery here and around the globe.

And as Mr T has said, "Fools are everywhere".

The Trump misadministration , the Republican Party, white evilgelicals and  FOX Noise have unleashed such a coordinated avalanche of bull feces and lies to cover up and distract you from their creeping christofascism that it got overwhelming for me at times to catalog it all on a weekly basis.

It also didn't help that I have been extremely busy activism wise, so I took a sanity break from that feature for a while.

After running into many of my readers at different events who let me know how much they missed the Shut Up Foll Awards, I'm bringing them back and in the right head space to call crap out every Friday.

So here's the first post for the relaunched TransGriot Shut Up Fool Awards.   Just going straight to this week's winner, Rick Wiles .   

I'm not a fan of vegan food, but this week's winner took to his show to call vegetarian burgers a 'Luciferian plot to change human DNA'   Translation: He claims Satan is behind pushing veggie burgers to the public to steal your soul and keep you from going to heaven.

Yeah right, christofascist hatemonger. Rick Wiles is not only a homobigot, he's also anti-Semitic as well.  .   

The Church Lady would be so proud of him.   

All together, peeps.   Rick Wiles, Shut Up Fool!

2019 TransGriot SUF Lifetime Achievement Awards

It's that time again TransGriot readers!   This is the day that I reveal unto you which fools have parlayed their unmatched capacity for arrogance  coonery and WTF level of stupidity to earn a SUF Lifetime Achievement Award.

These are the 2018 winners and the  previous winners of this illustrious award just to refresh yours (and mine) memory.

Once again another ten fools will go into this year's cavalcade of idiots, forever to carry the knowledge by us that yeah, they are that problematic, and that as Mr T warned us, fool are everywhere.

They are not retired from SUF consideration in case they continue to say stupid crap. 

So enough jibber jabber, let's get to the SUF Lifetime Achievement Awards Class of 2019

TransGriot Shut Up Fool Awards- First Week Of 2019 Edition

Since New Year's Eve fell on a Tuesday, that made this  week starting on Sunday the 6th the first full week of 2019.

Lord, did we have a lot of things going on and fools letting the world know their WTF levels of ignorance, bigotry, transphobia, homophobia, misogyny and stupidity.

The Texas Lege started its 2019 session.  More shenanigans from Dolt 45.  Sarah Suckabee Sanders lying on air along with the Crypt keeper, er Kellyanne Conway. TERF's being their reprehensible selves, and the Texas Republican Party having a vote on where to unseat a Tarrant County party chair because he's a Muslim.

And wonder of wonders, FOX Noise having a rare moment of journalism breaking out before they went back to being Trump TV. 

While we had far too many contenders for this week's prize, I can only pick one winner this week, and nope, it ain't the racist orange waste of DNA desecrating the Oval Office. 


This weeks TransGriot Shut Up Fool Award goes to Rep Steve King (R-KKK)   

King opened his mouth and let something racist come out of it when he asked during a New York Times interview  when did the terms 'white nationalist', 'white supremacy' and 'Western civilization' became offensive.

Really fool?   I don't have time to 'edjumacate' your pointed hood wearing azz when those terms became offense.   Go have a section of seat at Kinnick Stadium, read a frakking history book, or turn it to a news channel besides FOX Noise to learn the answer.

But here's the short version.  It was white nationalists who killed heather Heyer in Charlottesville who was there to peacefully protest their reprehensible tiki torch carrying behinds.

It was white supremacists in the name of Western civilization who violently colonized the planet, killed millions of indigenous peoples in doing so, brought my African ancestors who survived the unwanted free boat rides of the Middle Passage to do the work they were too lazy to do, and are the major source of domestic terrorism in the US.

King forgot that Raul Ryan and his party are no longer running thangs in the US House, so he FINALLY faces censure for opening that racist mouth.

I could go on all day about King's reprehensible history, but let's conclude this TransGriot business right now.

Steve King, shut up fool!
