But his wife would like to let you know that he’s self-made human garbage, so you should give him a fair shake. I really didn’t know anything about this guy, other than the fact that he gave Trump a million dollars for that tacky inaugural and that he owned hotels and was therefore in no way, shape, or form qualified for the ambassadorship that he bought. He doesn’t even own hotels around the world. He mostly owns hotels around Seattle and Portland. You might want to bookmark that link so that you know which hotels to avoid in the future.
The Post did a profile piece on him this morning that really made clear for me, just how big a piece of shit this guy is. First, let me start with his background. He’s the son of immigrants. Right fucking there, I’m done with this asshole, but there’s more. He’s Jewish. His parents fled from Nazi Germany. Again – GIANT piece of human garbage. But there’s more. Here’s how he describes high school, “Everyone mixed in the same high school,” he recalled, “so that created a lot of aspirational emotions when you saw some kids showing up on their 16th birthday with the new BMW that their parents had bought them, and some kids had to walk or take the bus. It created a lot of interesting dynamics that probably followed me for the rest of my life.” Apparently not, you total piece of shit. After Trump went after the Khan family, Sondland and his business partner Bashar Wali (you can see where this is going) took their names off a fundraiser for the Douchenfûhrer because, “In light of Mr. Trump’s treatment of the Khan family and the fact his constantly evolving positions diverge from their personal beliefs and values on so many levels, neither Mr. Sondland or Mr. Wali can support his candidacy”. That’s right, his partner is a Syrian immigrant.
And yet, this craven piece of crap who has always coveted the idea of an ambassadorship for himself (but couldn’t be bothered to rack up any actual qualifications) decided to pathetically grovel by licking Trumps shoes until he got what he wanted. This asshole has no principals whatsoever. After Trump won the election, this piece of crap started hitting the phones to try and fellate himself that ambassadorship he so desired, even going to far as to lick Javanka’s asses. How fucking pathetic.
Fast forward to today. We all read the text messages a couple of weeks ago. They make it clear that Sondland was up to his ass in the Ukrainian extortion plot. In case you need a refresher, here’s the key exchange in the text messages:
[9/9/19, 12:31:06 AM] Bill Taylor: The message to the Ukrainians (and Russians) we send with the decision on security assistance is key. With the hold, we have already shaken their faith in us. Thus my nightmare scenario.
[9/9/19, 12:34:44 AM] Bill Taylor: Counting on you to be right about this interview, Gordon.
[9/9/19, 12:37:16 AM] Gordon Sondland: Bill, I never said I was “right”. I said we are where we are and believe we have identified the best pathway forward. Lets hope it works.
[9/9/19, 12:47:11 AM] Bill Taylor: As I said on the phone, I think it’s crazy to withhold security assistance for help with a political campaign.
[9/9/19, 5:19:35 AM] Gordon Sondland: Bill, I believe you are incorrect about President Trump’s intentions. The President has been crystal clear no quid pro quo’s of any kind. The President is trying to evaluate whether Ukraine is truly going to adopt the transparency and reforms that President Zelensky promised during his campaign I suggest we stop the back and forth by text If you still have concerns I recommend you give Lisa Kenna or S a call to discuss them directly. Thanks.
This asshole plans to go to congress and claim that Trump told him to say that last part, and he didn’t know it to be untrue. If you didn’t know anything else, that claim defied reason and logic. But now we do know more because Fiona Hill testified yesterday, and she said that Sondland was up to his ass in this extortion plot, and that she had confronted him about it. The shocking part of her testimony is that John freaking Bolton was the voice of reason in that situation.
Why am I so furious? Well, for one thing he’s human garbage. No decent human with his background would ever support this xenophobic, anti-semitic, Islamophobic administration, let along plant their tongue in Trump’s lower intestine for two years. Let me repeat: how fucking pathetic.
The second reason I’m furious is that this shitbag will never be held accountable for what he’s done. Neither will Bill Barr, Rudy Giuliani, or anyone else who conspired with the Douchenfûhrer. Why? Nancy Pelosi. She does not like to fuck with power, which is why she didn’t want to “look back” at the Bush/Cheney crimes. She didn’t want to begin impeachment proceedings against Trump, but after Elijah Cummings spoke up to advocate for impeachment, she had no choice. New York state offered up Trump’s tax returns on a silver platter two months ago, and Richard Neal (chairman of house and ways – the only committee that has the authority to ask for them) has declined to obtain them because Nancy doesn’t want this. Fortunately, he has a primary challenger who would make a great addition to The Squad (please donate if you can).
I’m pissed because this (and dozens of others) asshole will be allowed to go about his life, and will be regarded as influential, powerful, and valuable because for some inane reason, our society automatically respects rich people. Even when they’re human garbage. They will always get assistance (not resistance) from people like Nancy Pelosi.
I really hope that Sondland’s wife can see how fair I’ve been to him so that she can stop worrying about the economic backlash (her words) she fears is coming against his businesses. I did after all refer to him as human, which I think we can all agree is an assertion that there really isn’t sufficient evidence to support.
