A few days ago, Emperor Baby Fists finally made a BIGLY statement about the noticeable spike in hate crimes directed at Jewish-Americans. Unshockingly, Donald Trump cozied up to neo-Nazi factions during the election and those neo-Nazis felt newly empowered once Trump won. You can pretty much draw a straight line from Trump’s barely-coded language about Jewish people and minorities and the rise in hate crimes against Jewish people and minorities. Still, Baby Fists said some words about the hate crimes at long last, but only after Ivanka tweeted about it first, and I’m assuming Jared Kushner wrote his little speech too.
After Ivanka tweeted about it, actor Bradley Whitford responded. For the record, Ivanka tweeted this: “America is a nation built on the principle of religious tolerance. We must protect our houses of worship & religious centers“. This was Bradley Whitford’s tweet to Ivanka: “Your father is a racist birther. Steve Bannon an anti-Semitic opportunist. You and your husband are enabling hatred. F–k your shoes.” BAM. We should start saying “f–k your shoes” to all of our enemies from now on, right? Especially Ivanka. Because f–k her shoes.
Incidentally, you can follow Bradley Whitford’s Twitter here. He tweets and retweets about politics all day long. He’s pretty woke, I have to say. He’s also promoting Get Out, the new Jordan Peele horror film that critics love. Whitford plays the father of Allison Williams’ character.

Right on, sir.
Josh Lyman forever!
And yes, F**k her shoes!
Shoes she copies from other brands and are manufactured in China.
Can’t tell you how happy I am to see Josh Lyman, the pit bull of the Democrats, once again ripping clowns like these apart.
Josh and Toby forever.
And I will STILL break out “The Jackal” when necessary. #WestWingForLife
WOOOO F*ck your shoes is my new insult lol
The love for this man just keeps growing *sswwwwoooooonnnn*
Yup. I cant stand Ivanka – she is the oretty face on that hatemonger fascist. F$ck her shies, her husband and her make- believe moderation.
Oh, god, please bring back the Bartlett administration. A golden age of reason and intelligence.
The West Wing is my refuge in this era of America’s descent into madness. Thank God for The West Wing Weekly podcast!!
I started rewatching recently for some sanity…Whitford looks kinda hot with white hair, amiright?
Silver fox…
so you have to protect jewish house of religion but muslim mosques are an ok target? hmmm got it i think
A mosque *is* a house of worship…
That’s exactly dttime’s point.
Exactly, she stay quiet when her Dad was targeting Muslims. And she also didn’t push back on her Daddy’s anti-Semitic voters or stand up for Anti-Semitism until the White House got heavy pressure from the press about their silence. And remember how supposedly her and her husband will protect LGBTQ from her dad’s policies? Yeah f-ck her shoes.
Politico just wrote an insightful profile on how Ivanka helped Baby Fists win over Republican woman and alleviated their concerns about his assault charges.
How do you solve a problem like Ivanka
http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/02/ivanka-trump-womens-magazines-fashion-214819
Yes, spot on.
Side note, I almost didn’t recognize him. His hair makes him look like the guy who played J Peterman in Seinfeld.
The US was built on religious freedom? what? when?
I’m not an expert in history, but I seem recall it was built on the annihilation of Natives, and on the backs of Slaves.
When did freedom enter into it?
That was ONE OF the reasons the settlers came here initially – to escape religious persecution. Once they got here they realized they found a (almost literal) goldmine so got rid of the natives and got slaves to do the work…Like most colonized countries
Ok, thanks. I’ll go read up on it again.
@original key
No worries. Cuba and Brazil have a similar history to the US (European settlers coming in, killing many of the natives (directly and indirectly), taking over the resources, and getting the slaves to do the work)….
Once they settled here the Puritans became intolerant of other religions and persecuted the Quakers.
Started off looking like freedom, then the genocide and slavery took hold…
On a brighter note, things have been worse.
Puritans came here to New England for religious freedom after being expelled from parts of England and Holland. But once here, they only cared about their religion, and expelled people who didn’t conform to their religious doctrines, which is why Roger Williams fled south and founded Rhode Island and Providence Plantations.
Yes LP drop that RI knowledge!!
And why Anne Hutchinson, a “nasty woman” of this time, who had her own interpretations of scripture, was convicted and banished from Boston colony. Lots of religious drama for sure.
And why Mary Dyer was hung in Boston, for being a Quaker who returned to Boston after she was kicked out.
thank you for all the replies and information 🙂
1. I love him. My crush on Josh Lyman never went away completely.
2. Girlfriend needs to lay off the foundation! Yeesh.
3. F*ck your shoes indeed. If anything ever needed a hashtag …
I’ve always liked him as an actor, but now I think I’m in love. Spot on!
Right on Bradley ! !! F*ck her shoes!!
3 men were shot in a restaurant Overland Park Ks yesterday ( 1 died )
They made the unpardonable sin of watching a a basketball game while looking like they were milddle eastern. ( they were from Indai) The man who shot them screamed ” get out of my country”
For reasons yet unknown the FBI has not yet declared it a hate crime ( claiming still under investigation ) even though there were over 20 witnesses.
There have been several terrorist bombings in Pakistan in the last 2 weeks – totaling to over a 100 people dead. The most recent one being yesterday with over 10 dead. Where is the trump admin (or really, the American media’ with condemning that and/or offering sympathy? But, somehow. Trumpy had time to make up an attack in sweden, so there’s that.
I thought Pakistan was supposed to be an ‘ally’ (at least under the Obama administration?).
My point is, ‘terrorism’ is only worth talking about when the victims are white.
Why isn’t it a hate crime? Cause Lord Dampnut made sure white supremacy isn’t a crime anymore.
I was also baffled that the FBI hasn’t yet called this a hate crime, despite the fact the perpetrator said he thought they were Middle Eastern. Two were Indian, the 3rd was a white guy trying to help them.
My guess is the FBI will, but by that time it won’t be in the news cycle. I was hoping this incident would blow up and get more National attention so someone would ask Spicer to comment. Can you imagine the attention this would be getting from the WH if we reversed the nationalities of the perpetrator and the victims!.
I’m going to give the FBI the benefit of the doubt because Orangino asked that the flat out deny his collusion with Russia and the FBI refused to do so. Just because Comey totally f—ed us over doesn’t mean the whole agency sucks.
To clarify: 2 of them were Indian. One was a white man who tried to hold the shooter until the police could get there, and he was shot as well. I think it’s worth noting that somebody did do the right thing and try to stop him. Decency does still exist in America.
The FBI usually plays its cards pretty close. From the way it’s described, there’s no doubt to me that it will be classified as a hate crime, especially given that witnesses heard the shooter yell “get out of my country.” The FBI generally doesn’t make those determinations until they wrap the investigation. I would give them a little time to sew it up.
I like your post, because it highlights exactly why Comey should have been fired for the letter he sent about reopening the investigation into the emails.
And Trump continues tweeting about Chicago.
I thought everyone in Chicago had been murdered.
Ew. Even my own sarcasm is grossing me out..
And yet no tweets from Trump?
The SPLC has classified it as a hate crime, and that means that unless the feds want a prolonged, nasty legal battle ahead of them, the FBI will change their tune soon.
The FBI generally holds legal determinations until the end of an investigation. Truthfully, I hate this American tendency to yell for labels as soon as something happens. According to news sources, there were at least 2 dozen witnesses, so they probably are interviewing all of them, getting video, tossing the suspect’s house, etc. (as they should) I can appreciate doing an actual investigation and making your determinations upon its conclusion. Personally, does it sound like a hate crime? Absolutely, to me – but I appreciate law enforcement doing their jobs and leaving no stone unturned before they announce anything.
Sam, I support the opinion that it’s best to investigate, then report. Our news cycle works so differently now. Some of the nonsense incites violence, but waiting too long can cause us attention-deficited Americans to lose interest.
I am counting on the media to do the right thing. It may be one of the more powerful voices against hatred, or could stir things up even more terribly.
Fun times.
And yes, f$$k your shoes Ivanka, and F and your father too.
I love Bradley Whitford. Love him as an actor, love his liberal politics and love his resolve to use his position to stand up to actively critique thuggery masquerading as leadership. Plus he does the hard yards to support causes; he’s not just a talker.
This particular tweet says it all. Yeah, “fuck your shoes” sums up Ivanka’s venality and the degenerate Trump dynasty. Long may they rot in hell, all of them.
F*ck your shoes indeed. I’m gong to use that when referring to Ivanka from now on.
F-ck her shoes. And f-ck her attending meetings and events she shouldn’t be invited to. Nazi Barbie makes me sick.
Whenever Ivanka the Troll posts pictures of her kids to divert from whatever horrible thing her father has done, people should reply with #And F**kYourShoes
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
yes!!!
My kids are truly beautiful human beings with huge, open hearts. And way more gorgeous than hers. Eff her shoes, too.
Bring him the finest muffins and bagels in the land!
I was waiting for this comment! “Donna!”
Yep, Bradley should drink from the keg of glory for his reaction to Nazi Barbie. Fuck her jack boots.
There’s three things that infuriate me about Ivanka:
Enabling her sick abusive dad by desperately trying to normalize him.
Enabling her weak, wannabe Trump husband and marrying a “lite” version of her horrible father.
Embodying white female privilege (which often hides behind aggressive men like Trump) and her faux feminism.
She’s not a good person. She’s intentionally made very poor life choices. So yeah, fuck her shoes.
Indeed!
Check out his Twitter feed – pink pussy hat!
Also, I’m going to need some more upset-time today, an older friend (late 70s) has
referred by email after a long period of silence about “rabid anti-Trumpers.” And
this is a native New Yorker with an education and 2 out of 3 kids being liberal.
I sense I’m about to lose another one. I am so glad that the older people in my
family are better than that.
It is so painful to learn that friends or family members support the hate filled Trump administration. That is why I make it a rule to not discuss politics. Sorry about your friend.
She is an enabler with a superficial quality about her. No real depth of understanding when she hauled out her daughter for show knowing her dad, perhaps too hastily, gave the okay for a raid that killed an eight-year-old girl who also had a right to life.
And hauled out that same daughter again when he signed an order to discriminate against LGBTQ kids.
Yes, he will haul his plastic Barbie daughter, Ivanka with the horse teeth, fake nose, suction cheeks with her “glam squad” to make herself look decent looking. If it wasn’t for all the plastic she would look like Tiffiny. And f@@k your cheap labor shoes Ivanka, and F your ugly father too.
You know, wouldn’t it be great if ‘**** your shoes” became the symbol of the downfall of the Trump’s just like ‘let them eat cake’ represents the end of the French monarchy?
Anyone else see that witches are planning to cast a spell against Trump tonight? No offense to JK Rowling, but I’ve never before so very much hoped that magic is real and powerful …
Observed an office voodoo spell towards a sadistic abusive person.
Coincidence or karma, I have seen it work, more than once.
Ivanka is probably the worst of the bunch precisely because of her hypocrisy. She is a Jewish woman, married to a Jewish man (who is the grandchild of Holocaust survivors, no less) with Jewish children. But she had no issue with her father courting the alt right, Nazis and other people who would actively seek the demise of her family (her included – they hold a special hatred for “pure” women who sleep with Jewish men). She did not distance herself from him when he did that. Donald Jr. and Eric are bad too, but they do not have her hypocrisy to contend with. They only commented on the JCC threats when they became too numerous, too public to ignore (along with the graveyard desecration).
A couple questions: What happened to “Love trumps hate”? Does it mean we should love our friends but hate our enemies? Isn’t that what our enemies are doing: hating?
I thought “two wrongs don’t make a right.” The human race is going nowhere if we can’t rise above this childish tit-for-tat hating. Find your common ground with the other side, begin there and lead by example.
There is no common ground when the other side is racist, misogynistic, is cutting health care, public education, demonizing objective media coverage, slashing social security, fraternizing with Russians oligarchs, building up nuclear arsenals, and oh did I mention giving huge tax breaks to big banks and businesses whilst cutting off benefits and vacation pay to hundreds of thousands of low-wage workers??? Hmmmm? How’s that for a start. You can’t find common ground with a lying, fascist demagogue who’s no better than a snake oil salesman.
I understand your feelings, but there is always common ground if you start with the basics. Here are some examples: Wanting our children to be safe. Wanting ourselves and our loved ones to be healthy. Wanting clean water to drink, and clean air to breathe. Having friends. Being able to afford a comfortable home. Most people who support Trump want these things, but they are not well-informed about the specifics of his policies, and they don’t understand how he will be hurting their interests. We MUST connect with our ‘opponents’ on common ground, and build from there. How else can our numbers grow?
I wish you well, Jaded. ~cd
I feel you. I work for and with a few trump supporters. We don’t talk politics much, and I say very little. I do try to clarify some of the misconceptions.
These are the types of things I hear:
Dems/leftists are just butthurt over the election and have to get over it.
I gently respond that there are specific issues which folks care about, such as women’s reproductive health, health care in general, the muslim ban (I don’t really go there…) certain representatives not listening to constituents at all. These are causes that do not occur to the people I deal with. Their standpoint is very simplistic- we are crybabies.
I am finding that it is better for my sanity and more effective to get together with causes I believe in and pressuring reps to actually rep their constituents.
It’s been proven that arguing rationally, clarifying and presenting facts actually reinforces their perception. This is why I no longer engage online and offline. But if you have to stand by the water cooler, what you can do is ask them why or how and keep asking why / how until they sound ridiculous or cannot explain. For example, if they talk about a Trump policy and they claim it’s good, ask them. Judgement comes naturally but most folks are really bad at understanding and explaining policy making. Then you give them a look when they sound ridiculous and walk away.
I clicked on his Twitter account to follow him and he’s wearing a pussy hat in his profile picture! Love it!!
“F**k your shoes” is my new “Your bra straps are dirty.”
I wonder if Ivanka actually wears any of her stuff? If you are looking for a laugh, check out the comments that some trump supporters post to nordstrom’s posts on facebook. Sooooo funny!
Love this. He went IN. So glad someone is calling her out on her BS. F* your shoes you grifter!
This is the kind of thing we should be concerned about, not cursing out Ivanka’s shoes: http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/321049-white-house-hand-picks-select-media-for-briefing
Common ground: the media is biased. Agreed! Always has been. But that doesn’t mean we deny access to a free press, right? Agreed. In addition, grow up Sean Spicer. What a baby.
I don’t disagree with you, but you’re preaching in the wrong forum. Celebitchy, is about being bitchy, I’m sure the kumbaya page is out there, and I know the serious political discussion ones are out there, this one, is a wallow in gossip, snark and bitchiness one.
Just a question- are trump supporters looking to find common ground with us? because it seems not.
why is it our responsibility to be the bigger side, when face with such deplorable people?
I’m not extending any branch to any trump supporter. They had their chances to look beyond their own selfish needs and declined to do so. Now they reap and that’s on them.
Stop normalizing this entire situation. It’s not normal. There is no common ground, because what is happening is not normal at all. There is no rationalization for what trump is doing, for what bannon is doing, sessions and devos and conway. Nothing normal about this at all, so no common ground. They have to be stooped.
@original Kay – agree entirely. Even during the election democrats tried reason, logic and debate while the other side yelled & screamed and stomped its feet. They have no interest in compromise or rational discussion. They’re drunk on the power of the Fascist Cheeto and Nazi Barbie #fuck her shoes.
