Shut Up Fool Awards-Crazy For Caitlyn Edition

Caitlyn Jenner is out to the world, and the media is going gaga over her.   At the same time the transphobic bigots have come out to play, in addition to some folks in Trans World grousing about the attention she's getting as a former Olympian and stepparent to the Kardashians.

As I said in my post about Caitlyn's debut, any positive media attention that transpeople can get because the media peeps are suddenly interested in covering trans people is good media attention. 

It's up to us to take this moment and pivot off of talking about Caitlyn and talking about the issues that impact and affect all transpeople.

Now let's pivot off of talking about Caitlyn to calling out fools as we do every Friday on these electronic pages.

Honorable mention number one is a group award to all the fools who signed the Change.org petition demanding that the International Olympic Committee take back the gold medal that Jenner won in the decathlon in 1976.     To the IOC's credit,they quickly ignored that transphobic play.

Hell, if the IOC refuses to snatch the steroid fueled medals the East Germans won during their two decades of state sponsored cheating, what made these conservaidiots think their petition had any chance of success?

Honorable mention number two is Matt Walsh for his transphobic waste of bandwith that stated calling Jenner a woman was an insult to women.  Dude, calling you a journalist is an insult to journalists    And since when do you know what the hell is insulting to women?

Oh yeah, I forgot, you're a Conservative White Male that is endowed with the magical all knowing power to ascertain what all women are thinking.

Honorable mention number three to Marco Rubio for going on the FOX Noise show Outnumbered and when being called out by one of the Fembot panelists that his Middle East policy was 'nation building', tried to defend it by confusingly stating it wasn't nation building.



Honorable mention number four is DL Hughley for his tweeted transphobic comment in which he was hating on the idea of Caitlyn Jenner getting the ESPY Arthur Ashe Courage Award.

And yeah, I called his azz out on Twitter.

D.L. Hughley

Caitlyn Jenner 2 receive Arthur Ashe award 4 courage! Ashe faced racism and AIDS with dignity and grace! Bruce Jenner put on a dress! ‪#‎TeamDL‬

Yo DL, Black trans women face racism. AIDS and have to deal with off the charts violence directed at us far too often by our own people.   So why don't you have several seats and  a nice cup of STHU?

Besides DL,, it's ESPN who makes the final decision on who gets that particular ESPY award.

Honorable mention number five is Jay Foster, the superintendent of schools in Senatobia, MS who filed disturbing the peace charges against a Black family cheering the graduation of their loved one from high school. 

So they are facing jail time for expressing their joy that a loved one graduated from high school?  WTF?

At every high school and collegiate graduation I've ever gone to, people cheered the grads as they crossed the stage despite the usual admonition about maintaining the 'solemnity of the ceremony'.

WTF is wrong with these Mississippi Tea Klux Klan peeps? Do they hate Black peeps that much they want to do anything to make our lives miserable?

Honorable mention number six is Mike Huckabee, for his transphobia and other fracked up comments defending the Duggars this week

This week's Shut Up Fool winner is a group award for the Duggar family.  

In addition to Jim Bob and Michelle's jacked up appearance on FOX Noise trying to defend the indefensible in terms of Josh molesting his sisters and another girl, Jill and Jessa Duggar are trying to cover for their pedophile brother.

Both are going on FOX Noise to once again deflect from the pedophilia going on in their house and Michelle Duggar is once again trying to deflect from the sexual predator in their family's midst and attack the trans community again.

Wooo Pig Sooie.....Phooey!  Looks like the only pedophiles we see here are you Bible thumping ones.

Duggar family,  have several seats at Razorback Stadium and shut up fools.

Shut Up Fool Awards-Happy Birthday Laverne Edition!

Today is the birthday of my fab sister Laverne Cox, and hope she's not only having a fabulous, blessings filled day, but she gets to celebrate many more of them far into the future.

But as you TransGriot readers know, it's also Friday, and y'all know what I get to do on this day without fail for your reading pleasure.

I get the fun of calling out the fool, fools or group of fools who exhibit over the top hypocrisy, mind blowing ignorance and stupidity, and just do and say stuff that make you say WTF?

It's time for the latest edition of the TransGriot Shut Up Fool Awards.

Honorable mention number one is Wisconsin governor Scott Walker (R), who thinks mandatory ultrasounds 'are a cool thing' for women hoping to get abortions.

Really?   How the hell would you know?   I think you and all your conservafool masculine friends who believe that BS should have forced prostate exams with a frozen aluminum bat shoved up your anus.  

But keep talking Scott.  The more you do, the more you prove you're unfit to be POTUS.

Honorable mention number two is Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican secretary of state who in the wake of Roman Catholic Ireland voting overwhelmingly (62% YES) to allow same sex marriage, the vote was a 'defeat for humanity.'

Honorable mention number three is Joseph Hayon.   The former leader in the Brooklyn Tea Party who ran on a 2012 pledge to protect children was arrested on child porn possession charges.

So tell me once again conservafools, who are the child predators we need to be looking out for?


Honorable mention number four is the Indian social media campaign that seeks to have women thank men for not sexually assaulting them.

Seriously?  How about you not acting like a horny caveman? You don't deserve a fracking cookie for the minimum expectation in a civilized society of keeping your hands and penis to yourself.

Honorable mention number five is Pat Robertson, who crawled out of the bowels of his crypt to say on the 666 700 Club that gay men are 'pedophiles who want to recruit your sons.'



Honorable mention number six is Nevada Assemblywoman Michelle Fiore, who in the middle of a debate about a racist voter ID law the GOP controlled legislature called a Black legislator 'colored' after trying to deny racism doesn't exist in the USA.

This week's winner is the junior senator from Alberta, Ted Cruz.   Remember when Teabagger Ted criticized and voted against funding for Hurricane Sandy victims? Well, seems like he's against ANY emergency relief unless it is going to Texas.

"Today, Texans are hurting. They're hurting here in San Marcos. They're hurting in Wimberley. They're hurting in Houston. They're hurting across the state.

"Democrats and Republicans in the congressional delegation will stand as one in support of the federal government meeting its statutory obligations to provide the relief to help the Texans who are hurting."

But when it was the northeastern US that needed the help, Comrade Ted was singing a different song before he voted against that emergency assistance.

"This bill is symptomatic of a larger problem in Washington—an addiction to spending money we do not have. The United States Senate should not be in the business of exploiting victims of natural disasters to fund pork projects that further expand our debt."

Once upon a time Texas sent people to Washington DC like LBJ, Ralph Yarborough, John Tower, Sam Rayburn, Barbara Jordan, and Mickey Leland just to name a few who were respected and visionary national and international leaders.

Now we have leaders going to Washington representing my birth state that are running comedic jokes.

Ted Cruz, shut the HELL up fool!.

Shut Up Fool Awards-I Pity The Post Birthday Fools Edition

Mr. T's 63rd birthday was yesterday and we're going to celebrate it properly by doing what we normally do on this blog every Friday without fail.

It's time to call out the fool, fools or group of fools that exhibit mind numbing stupidity, immense levels of ignorance, horrific levels of hubris, and off the chain levels of arrogance.

Yep, it's time for the post-Mr T birthday edition of this week's Shut Up Fool Awards.

Honorable mention number one is a joint one for  the entire GOP clown car, er' 2016 GOP presidential candidate field. Just pick a way too numerous moment this week in which they all said something incredibly stupid.

Honorable mention number two is Maine Gov Paul LePage (R) in the latest GOP War on the Poor move, wants to kick convicted felons off of TANF and SNAP even if they have kids and have turned their lives around.

And y'all wanna know why I hate these evil Teapublicans

Honorable mention number three is Rep Louie Gohmert (R-TX) m who actually parted his lips (surprise surprise) to say that Dubya would have rethought the Iraq War if he'd known that President Obama would have followed him into office.

Still trying to blame the Black Democratic POTUS for the white GOP POTUS' screw ups.

Honorable mention number four is Rep David Brat (R-VA) who is a living example of the be careful what you wish for in political circles.   Brat replaced Eric Cantor, and is far worse than the guy he replaced.   He recently said that DREAMers in the military will lead to the 'decline of Western Civilization'.

Yo David, your white sheet is showing.

Honorable mention number five also goes to someone else whose white sheet was showing in Dork Duke University professor Jerry Hough, who parted his lips to say some racist crap in the local media concerning the Baltimore Rebellion.

Honorable mention number six is Peter Brimelow, who forgot the Civil War ended 150 years and said a white nationalists supremacists conference that stats should consider secession from the US for the protection of 'white rights'.

Dude you have an entire political party and two political movements in conservatism and libertarianism that seek to do precisely that.

And news flash, y'all lost the War To Preserve Slavery, get over it.

This week's Shut Up Fool awards winner  is a joint award for Josh Duggar and his mother Michelle Duggar.    Josh and his mother have spent a lot of time demonizing TBLG people and Josh worked for the Family Fascist Research Council until he had to resign after revelations broke that Duggar molested several teenage girls, including his own sisters.

Michelle slimed trans women calling us predators on behalf of the right wing efforts to kill trans inclusive human rights laws while basking in the hypocritical knowledge that the real sexual predator was her own son, and she helped keep it quiet.

19 Molestations and Counting needs to be cancelled

I takes some serious cojones for you to project your own reprehensible molestation behavior on someone else for your own personal and political gain.

It's even more reprehensible when some of the victims of it are your own sisters and mommy and daddy cover it up.

Josh and Michelle Duggar, shut up fools!.

Shut Up Fool Awards-Congratulations Class Of 2015 Edition

The month of May also means it's time for graduations.  While the ones that get the most attention are at the collegiate level and from high school, you also have people making the jump from elementary to middle school and middle school to high school.

They are not only rites of passage, they are moments of personal achievement, triumph, perseverance and growth.

Congrats to all of you in the Class of 2015 who are crossing those stages around the country to get their diplomas and move on the next stages of their lives.

It's Friday. and time for our usual business of calling out peeps who have an associate in stupidity, a bachelor's in ignorance, a masters in brazen hypocrisy, and a PhD in mind blowing WTF actions that compel this blog to call them out and give them Shut Up Fool Awards.

So let's crank up Pomp and Circumstance and get busy passing out this week's Shut Up Fool Awards.

Honorable mention number one is Raven-Symone, who parted her lips but unfortunately didn't take her brain out of neutral when she opened her mouth on The View in opposition to putting Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill.   An idea BTW, that a majority of people in an online poll said yes to.

What next Raven?  You going to audition to be a FOX Noise fembot?  You already have the prerequisite qualifications of hair color to be one.

Honorable mention number two is a group award for FOX Noise for going off the deep end when the FLOTUS called out the racism she and her family have been subjected to during a commencement speech at Tuskegee and the POTUS called out FOX Noise for their slanted anti-poor propaganda.

Predictably, they sent the Fox Kneegrow Sellout Brigade to do their dirty work for them, but it doesn't change the fact the POTUS and FLOTUS were on target in calling the issues they separately discussed out.

Honorable mention number three is another group award for the Duggar family.   Jessa and her hubby launched an idiocy filled commentary that attacked atheists and tried to claim Flintstones science (AKA creationism) was real.    Then her mom Michelle engaged in pimping the debunked trans predator myth again.

The Duggars continue to serve as shining examples as to why birth control should be legal and available, and homeschooling should be banned.

Honorable mention number four is Beverly Roberts (damned sure ain't no relation to me) an area director of the Concerned Women of America who admitted she gave false testimony to a May 4 Texas Senate committee hearing concerning SB 2065, a bill that would shield clergy from having to perform same sex weddings.

Honorable mention number five is Congressman Scott DesJarlais (R-TN).   This serial adulterer, pressured one of his mistresses to have an abortion, but just voted for the GOP 20 week abortion ban bill.  

Honorable mention number six is Rafael Cruz.   Daddy Cruz let loose another ridiculous claim in Edmond, OK  that LGBT rights would lead to football teams showering with girls.

Some boys would probably love that idea, but looks like you were watch oo much of Nickelodeon's Bella and the Bulldogs when you let that crap fly out of your mouth, so have a seat.

This week's Shut up Fool winner is Sandy Rios, who blames homosexuality for the Philly Amtrak crash because the engineer in it is an aleged marriage quality supporter.

How fracked up is Rios and the movement she represents to use a tragedy like this in which 8 people died  and dozens of other folks were injured in order to further the Hate The Gays political agenda of the American Fascist Family Association?

Shut the hell up fool!

Shut Up Fool Awards-Mother's Day Weekend Edition

It's Mother's Day weekend, and on Sunday we get the opportunity to once again honor our mother's and the mother figures in our lives.  

I also want to say thanks to all the mothers of trans children.  We love you, appreciate what you do to fight for the rights of you children to grow up in a world that tells them they shouldn't exist, and also raise those kid to be amazing people.

It's also another Friday afternoon that we take time out to call out the fool, fools or group of fools that only a mother could love,

It's time for our usual Friday edition of the TransGriot Shut Up Fool Awards.

Honorable mention number one is Sylvia Ann Driskell, who filed a handwritten spelling error filled federal lawsuit against 'all homosexuals on earth' as a self proclaimed 'ambassador for God and Jesus Christ' in Nebraska.

The suit was dismissed by Judge John Gerrard on May 6.  The United States Federal Courts were created to resolve actual cases and controversies arising under the Constitution and the laws of the United States," he wrote. "A federal court is not a forum for debate or discourse on theological matters."   

Honorable mention number two is Keith Ablow, who whined on FOX Noise that men should be able to veto abortions.   Dude, you ain't the one who is going to have to carry that fetus to term and give birth to it 9 months later.   Our bodies, our choice

Honorable mention number three is alleged 'christian'  Randall Herman, for developing that waste of bandwith Kill The F****t hate game that was available for download but eventually pulled from Greenlight that awarded points for killing gay and trans folks.  He promises that his next release will be just as offensive.

You breathing the same air on Planet Earth I breathe is offensive.

Honorable mention number four is Tony Evans.  This cookie chomping knnegrow parted his lips to recite the BS that Black families were better under slavery.

Really?   I'd need another post to talk about just how off the charts ignorant and stupid this comment is, especially coming from your allegedly Black azz.

Honorable mention number five goes to Ben Carson, who is making a strong bid for 2015 SUF of the Year.   He says presidents aren't bound by the decisions of the Supreme Court.  

Yeah right, back in the day another Republican who was POTUS said the same BS, and he had to resign from office in 1974 to avoid being impeached and removed from office.

This week's Shut Up Fool winner is Pamela Geller.

She is a racist, SPLC certified Islamophobe, and in the wake of the attack in Garland aimed at her, tried to claim she was Rosa Parks, then started crying white women's tears and tried to compare her situation to a rape victim.

Um naw boo boo kitty, when you make your rep spouting hate speech attacking Islam, you know there are violent peeps who will kill you for doing so,and you arrogantly think being a white female will protect you from their ire.
I note your azz is spouting your hate sppech inside the borders of the US, and you are banned from traveling to Great Britain.

Free speech has consequences, and she almost got herself and 200 people killed in Garland because of her vanillacentric privileged arrogance, and now she's crying white women's tears in order to avoid taking responsibility for her part in this mess.

Pamela Geller, shut up fool!

Shut Up Fool Awards- Moni's At BTAC 2015 Edition

Been up here in Dallas since April 28 for
the fourth annual editionm of the Black Trans Advocacy Conference.


This conference is one of my faves because it happens to fall very close to my birthday and doubles as my birthday weekend celebratory event.


Well, without further dela6y, let's get to this week's SUF Awards.


Honorable mention number one is Rush Limbaugh.   OxyContinin Man parted his lips to state that riots will happenas long as Black keep voting for Democrats.


Let's remix that comment shall we?    Riots will continue to happen as long as unarmed Black people continue to suffer death by po-po and go unpunished for it.


Honorable mentuion number is Josh Duggar, who clamed if Talabaptists aren't allowed top discriminate, then you are discriminating against 'Christians'


Really?   Dude, your white privileged ass wouldn't know discrimination if it slapped you in the face.  I'm getting sick of you people wanting to oppress people.


Honorable mention number three is Maryland State Delegate Pat McDonough (R) actually said that parents of kids who let their kids protest the death by po-po of Freddie Gray should have their food stamps taken away.


He doubled down on his racism by suggesting a study be done of the mindset of 'thug nation'


Hety Pat, your pointed hood is showing.


Honorable mention number four is US Rep. Bill Flores (R-TX) who said that what is going on in Baltimore is because of too many gay marriages.

WTF?   What iis going on in Baltimore is because of systenmic racism tolerated by too many white male Republicans like you.

This week's Shut Up Fool winner is TX Governor Greg Abbott.  

Greg's sucking up to the batturd crazy wing of the Texas GOP by ordering the Texas State Militia to monitor the US military duirng to Jade Helm 15 exericses to forestall a 'miltary takeover of the Lone Star State.

You can't make this stuff uop people. 

But instead of debunking this Conservaidiocy, he's cosigning it.

Greg Abbott, shut up fool

Shut Up Fool Awards- Dewey's Lunch Counter Sit In 50th Anniversary Weekend Edition

Tomorrow will be the 50th anniversary of the 1965 Dewey's Lunch Counter Sit In that hopefully the city of Philadelphia's LGBT community will be recognizing 

On April 25, 1965, 150 African-American kids in non conforming apparel staged a sit in to protest the denial of service by Dewey's owners to gender variant people because they were afraid they would drive away the business of cisgender peeps.

It took until May 2, but the Dewey's management after several arrests, two sit in and an informational picket eventually dropped the transphobic policy.

So in honor of those African-Americans whose shoulders I stand on as an activist, this call out of fools is for you.

Honorable mention number one is Creflo Dollar.   Dollar Bill complained during a recent televised service about all the peeps who blocked his dream of cruising America's skies in his own $65 million G650 paid for by all his suckers sheeple parishioners.

And who else did he blame,  Church Lady? 

Buy your own plane with your own damned money since you have enough to buy you and Taffi those designer suits.

Honorable mention number two is Zoey Tur, who wrote this Bruce Jenner piece the Washington Post published about a transition that one, hasn't even been announced, and has the pungent whiff of sour grapes.

Honorable mention number three is Acra Lee Turner.  This oppressor is the useful fool and  spokeskneegrow being used to attack an inclusive non discrimination law in Eureka Springs, AR.

Was revealed by the Arkansas Times that while using the predator meme to attack the LGBT community, Rev. Turner was actually convicted in 1977 and served jail time in Oklahoma for being a convicted rapist.

Can you say hypocrite boys and girls?  Thought you could.

Honorable mention number four is Allen West, who parted his lips to say that if kids were forced to pray in school, there would be less football head injuries

Forced to pray to what God?   Conservagod?  Baal?  Ronald Reagan? Ayn Rand?   

And how many times did you play football without a helmet to say something that clueless?

Honorable mention number five goes to Tammy Bruce.  The lesbian auditioned for TERF status and tried to fit in with the FOX Noise fembots and attack transkids on the GOP Propaganda Network.

Honorable mention number six is Cheryl Rios, who opened her mouth and let something else stupid come out of it by saying that God wants women to serve food, not run for public office.

A woman's place is in the House,, the Senate, the Governor's mansion, City hall, the county courthouse,  the State Legislature, and the Oval Office.

This week's Shut Up Fool is San Antonio Mayor Ivy Taylor.   She was appointed to the position by the San Antonio City Council to fill the remaining term of Julian Castro, who was appointed HUD secretary over the objections of the San Antonio LGBT community and allies.

Since them Poison Ivy as she's been sarcastically nicknamed, has repeatedly dissed and pissed them off by  no-showing a March 22 Stonewall candidate forum,  called the San Antonio NDO 'a political stunt, frustrated her own LGBT Advisory Committee appointed in October by refusing to meet with them until recently,  found herself being booed at another forum after blaming advocates of the NDO for not leading efforts to propose enforcement mechanisms. and called the San Antonio NDO 'A waste of time'.   She also reneged on her promise made when appointed to the seat to not run for it.

May 9 will be here soon enough San Antonio for y'all to vote her out of office.

And oh yeah, Mayor Ivy Taylor, shut up fool.

Shut Up Fool Awards- Day Of Silence Edition

This isn't just another Shut Up Fool Awards Friday.   Today is the GLSEN Day of Silence, in which students across the nation vow to take a form of silence to call attention to the silencing effect of anti-LGBT bullying and harassment in schools

The Day of Silence has grown since the first ever event at the University of Virginia in 1996 to become the largest single student-led action towards creating safer schools for all, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression. 

The Day of Silence is a student-led national event that brings attention to anti-LGBT name-calling, bullying and harassment in schools. Students from middle school to college take a vow of silence in an effort to encourage schools and classmates to address the problem of anti-LGBT behavior by illustrating the silencing effect of bullying and harassment on LGBT students and those perceived to be LGBT.

And with anti-LGBT bullying happening beyond the school setting in the societal and political arena, and eight trans kids having taken their lives this year, the timing is perfect to point out how it has a deleterious effect on people's lives.

Okay, so let segue to something I can't be silent about in terms of the off the charts idiocy, WTF moments, and outright hypocrisy in our world I just have to call people out on.

It's time for this week's edition of the TransGriot Shut Up Fool Awards.

Honorable mention number one is a group award for the GOP idiots debating Civil War II.

Did you fools not learn from the ass whupping you took 150 years ago?

Honorable mention number two goes to Cheryl Rios, who made Texas conswervafools look bad once again by stating that women shouldn't be president because of 'different hormones' and that she would move to Canada if Hillary Clinton became president.

You promise?    I'll bet if Sarah 'Palin was the woman running, she'd have a different opinion about the capabilities of women leading this country,.
Let's remix Cheryl's comment: Republicans, and especially Republican women for unassailably logical reasons, shouldn't elected president or to ANY elective office because of their propensity for off the charts stupidity
Honorable mention number three is Ann Coulter, who said on FOX Noise she wants to bring back an old school white supremacist suppression tool in literacy tests.

Not no, but...

Honorable mention number four is Creflo Dollar, who in the wake of his failed campaign to get his christosheeple congregants to fork over $300 each so he could buy a new Gulfstream jet, opened his mouth to claim 90's kids watching Pokemon made them gay.

Really Creflo?   You're married to a woman named Taffi, and you wanna claim a cartoon character makes people gay?   Christokneegrow please! 

Honorable mention number five is Steven Anderson, who believes women should shut up in church.
Thou fool!  Taketh thine own advice and zippeth those lips.

Honorable mention number six is FOX Noise's Jeanine Pirro, who partied her lips to say that minority communities need to be trained to be more sensitive to the police.

When the po-po's stop killing and oppressing non white people and minority groups, then maybe we'll think about changing our attitudes toward them

This week's Shut Up Fool winner is Arkansas state Rep Justin Harris (R).  Despite having an adopted daughter go through being sexually assaulted by a man he handed her over to, is sponsoring HB 1424, a bill that would change Arkansas’s current parental consent law to make it harder for underage rape victims to get abortions.

Right now, the law requires minors who want abortions to either get parental consent to do so or subject themselves to the humiliating, arbitrary judicial bypass process.

However, there is an exception for girls who have become pregnant through rape or incest. This new legislation would remove that exception.

Well, because some of y'all sat out the last election cycle, these are the types of zealots and fools you gave by default the power to write legislation over your lives.

Rep Justin Harris, shut up fool.

Shut Up Fool Awards- It's April, Fools Edition

Yep it is April, it's Friday, and time for you fave feature on TransGriot in the Shut Up Fool Awards.

I get to call out the fool, fools or group of fools who need to have the bright spotlight of scrutiny shined upon the stupid, hypocritical and WTF head scratching crap they do and say.

Let's get started with this week's cavalcade of fools shall we?

Honorable mention number one is Ben Carson.   After he remembered he was Black earlier and called the murder by po-po of Walter Scott 'an execution on the streets', he had to go back to cooning it up for conservamassa and let fly with the ridiculous claim that 'gays are better protected than Christians'

Conservakneegrow please!   You can be fired in 29 states for being gay and 34 states for being trans*.

I repeat, where is the DROP Squad when you need them?

Honorable mention number two is Ted Nugent.   Ted parted his lips to let something stupid fly out of them again by claiming he's being 'persecuted for doing God's work'.

What God?   Conservagod?   Baal?  St Ronald of Reagan?

Naw Ted, you're doing somebody's work alright.  Who could it be?

Honorable mention number three is Rand Paul, who is already fracking up in his newly declared presidential run by getting testy with CNBC anchor Savannah Guthrie when she started asking him tough questions about policy flip flops  that he obviously didn't want to answer.



Oh Randall, just a word of advice.  Attacking a female anchor trying to do her job is not a good look for you in the eyes of independent and moderate voters.

Honorable mention number four is Tom DeLay.  He popped up on Newsmax to defend the 'Religious Freedom Discrimination bills by saying that we must fight for those 'with every ounce of our being.'

And I'm going to fight those unjust bills to ensure they don't become law in this state.

Honorable mention number five goes to Carly Fiorina, who blamed the severe three year California drought on 'liberal environmentalists'.

No wonder Hewlett-Packard tanked under your misleadership

Honorable mention number six is a group award for the NRA.  Their convention is kicking off in Nashville, and the NRA ammosexuals that are trying to push open carry laws, put guns in your kids elementary schools and on college campuses, won't allow loaded firearms for safety reasons at their convention hall.

Can you say hypocrites TransGriot boys and girls?   Thought you could.

This week's Shut Up Fool winner I have to go local for it in Dave Wilson.  

For several months the longtime hatemonger has been trying to gather enough signatures to push an anti-trans charter amendment onto the 2015 city election ballot.   With great fanfare he showed up at City Hall with news cameras rolling, turned in six boxes of petitions  and claimed he'd gotten 19.700 signatures.

However, since this is a charter amendment, the threshold under Texas state law is 20,000 VALID signatures.  

Oops.   Thank the Lord my right-wing opposition here is inept at times.   If they had even half the brains of the FOX Fembots, they'd be more problematic to deal with.

He huffed and puffed about filing a lawsuit to force it on the ballot, but the end result is he has to start over.

Yo HCC, can't y'all find a way to kick this hater off your board?

Dave Wilson, shut up fool!

Shut Up Fool Awards-Easter Weekend 2015 Edition

After bouncing around the country for the last month, I get to slow down just in time for Easter Weekend and try to decide what open, affirming and radically inclusive church I will attend this Sunday for Easter services.

Today is Good Friday, in which according to our faith tradition Jesus Christ was crucified and died on the cross and rose from death on Easter Sunday.

This Good Friday is also one in which I get to do our usual TransGriot business of calling out the fools in our midst, and I need to get started doing that.

Honorable mention number one is Rush Limbaugh, who I gots to call out for comparing gay marriage to bestiality in an attempt to defend the discriminatory Indiana RFRA..   Hey you should know, you're a beast no woman wants to marry or stay married to..

Honorable mention number two is the idiots who came up with the #whitegirlsrock hashtag because their vanillacentric privileged fee-fee were 'offended' by Black women and girls owning their power. 

"So whoever is offended by Black Girls Rock!-ing and whoever thinks that black empowerment threatens their own power should confront their own racism"
-Beverly Bond, Founder of #BlackGirlsRock

And from Olivia Cole's (a white female BTW) Huff Po post:

“All of the things you take for granted are what you're protecting when you shout down Black Girls Rock: your Whiteness, the system that upholds your face as the supreme standard of beauty, your place in the center of a culture that demands people of color remain hidden in the margins, present, but only barely and never overshadowing the White hero/heroine. Your discomfort with black girls who rock tells me that you prefer the status quo: you prefer for black faces to remain hidden, you prefer for America's heroes to have White faces, you prefer for black actresses to wear aprons and chains.”
-Olivia Cole

Honorable mention number three is Pat Robertson, who crawled out of his crypt and unleashed the cray-cray on his 700 666 Club show.    First he told the anti-gay pizza makers in Indy to 'shut up' because they want to continue pimping their tired 'oppressed Christian cake baker' spin line.



Honorable mention number four is Rick Santorum, who displayed his lack of knowledge of American History and called the separation of church and state a Communist idea.   Rick, didn't know that Thomas Jefferson and James Madison were on a par with Lenin and Karl Marx.

The purpose of separation of church and state is to keep forever from these shores the ceaseless strife that has soaked the soil of Europe in blood for centuries.”
-James Madison

Honorable mention number four is Richard Sheridan, the longtime gaybaiter in Dallas who is a write in candidate for mayor who was just busted for connection to a recent anti-gay vandalism spree

Honorable mention number five is Tom Cotton, who thinks that critics of the Indiana RFRA 'should get perspective'.




How about you 'get the perspective' that discrimination is not acceptable in this country?

Honorable mention number six is Ted Nugent, who crawled out from the rock he's been under and blamed the POTUS for the suicides of veterans.

So sayeth the chickenhawk who avoided service in Vietnam.

This week's Shut Up Fool winner. is Michele Bachmann, who just compared the POTUS to Andreas Lubitz, the pilot who caused the Germanwings crash last week in her WTF level criticism of the Iran nuclear deal..



People are still grieving over that terrible tragedy and you open your mouth to let something that stupid fly out of it.

Yeah, we get it that you and your fellow Republifools are doing Bibi Netanyahu's dirty work for him and trying to undermine this deal so this country will be forced into another war.   But as Winston Churchill once said, "It is better to jaw jaw than to war war."

Thank God you are no longer in Congress.   And you need to shut your jaw jaws up fool!

Michele Bachmann, shut up fool!
