Stuck is Stuck

It’s funny how often lefties can dish it out, but can’t take it. Democrat Amanda Stuck is running against Rep. Mike Gallagher. She issued this statement today:

“I have nothing but respect for those that choose to make their living through the arts. It takes a tremendous amount of talent and determination to make it such a competitive field. I fully understand that, despite their hard work and dedication, the majority of our artists are grossly underpaid and not in it for the fame or money,” said Stuck. “I find it curious that the Gallagher campaign has tried to paint me as an enemy of the arts when his record is nothing to brag about.”

Except that she doesn’t respect those who choose to make their living through the arts. She said:

“I don’t come from wealth and privilege like Mike Gallagher does,” Stuck says in the video. “I didn’t marry a Broadway star like Mike Gallagher did. I married a sheet metal journeyman.”

Stuck continues, “For most of us, Broadway is a street in Green Bay. It isn’t a place in Manhattan, like Mike Gallagher knows.”

She is clearly attempting to smear Mike Gallagher for marrying a “Broadway star” as painting her as a trophy of his “wealth and privilege.” Stuck completely disparaged the work that Mrs. Gallagher put into her career and the success that she has had. Stuck’s husband is a sheet metal journeyman. Awesome. I’m sure he works hard. So does Anne Gallagher, but somehow, Amanda Stuck thinks that Anne Gallagher is just a socialite whose career was given to her due to her “wealth and privilege. Stuck’s comments are demeaning to women and to people who work in the arts.

Stuck didn’t come to backtrack because of her own conscience that she might have overstepped. She was slapped back by the arts community itself. Even then, she couldn’t bring herself to apologize. She just feigned confusion about how someone could possibly misunderstand her point and pretend that she has respect for people who work in the arts. Clearly, she doesn’t.

    I don’t care one wit who MG is married to, nor if he was born into money. What I do care about is why he remains silent about the disrespect trump has repeatedly displayed toward our service men and women, past and present. As a marine he should exhibit some spine. He hasn’t yet.

  2. Mar

    We have one person here who acts the same way as Stuck, but worse.
    Arrogant, lies, disrespectful, feigns confusion,hateful etc.
    So, we know the feeling.

  3. Kevin Scheunemann

    Nord,

    Why have you remained silent about Biden’s disrespect?

    hypocrite.

     

  4. Le Roi du Nord

    Sorry k, I missed it when Biden called service members “suckers and losers”.  Perhaps you could provide the quote, and in context.  As long as you are at it, provide the quotes where Biden mocked McCain, Vindman, Kelly, Mattis, etc.  I’ll be waiting.

  5. Mar

    And I might add, sociopath is gullible and believes everything hateful about President Trump.
    President Trump never said that about veterans. McCain deserved to be mocked. He was a bad person. Same with Vindman and Kelly and Mattis were good soldiers but bad at working in an office setting.
    But keep on hating, Sociopath.

  6. Le Roi du Nord

    “He was a bad person”. Who gets to make that call? What criteria is used? Or are you just making stuff up again to hide your inadequacies?

  7. penquin

    President Trump never said that about veterans. McCain deserved to be mocked

    Same with Vindman and Kelly and Mattis

    He never said that about any veterans, but the veterans he did say it about deserved it?

  8. Mar

    Nice job penquin of taking what I said out of context.
    You taking classes from the sociopath?

  9. penquin

    Nice job penquin of taking what I said out of context.

    Don’t see how it was taken out of context, but if it was then please explain how it was out of context & what you really meant instead.

     

  10. Mar

    What I said: “McCain deserved to be mocked. He was a bad person. Same with Vindman and Kelly and Mattis were good soldiers but bad at working in an office setting.”
    What penquin said “President Trump never said that about veterans. McCain deserved to be mocked

    Same with Vindman and Kelly and Mattis”
    You don’t see the difference?

  11. Le Roi du Nord

    Again, how was McCain a “bad person”?  The VC probably thought so, but Americans other the trump?  You have to be kidding.

    Who put Kelly, Mattis, and Vindman in an office setting?  None other than trump, who claimed he always hires the best people.  At least those three haven’t been indicted, tried,  convicted and sentenced like others of his “best people”.

  12. penquin

    Well yes, if you never had said ““President Trump never said that about veterans” (in reference to calling ’em losers and suckers) and followed by “McCain deserved to be mocked” (being called a loser) then I would understand your objection. However, you did actually say that, so your protest makes no sense….unless you are unaware that Trump mocked McCain by calling him a loser. 

    Is this really the first you’re hearing about that? If so, what other incident did you have in mind when you said McCain deserved to be mocked?

  13. Mar

    Many of us here in Arizona did not like McCain. He was arrogant, spiteful and spent way too much time in office.
    As far as Mattice and Kelly, I did not criticize them for being poor soldiers but they were not cut out for their jobs with Trump. They are not bad people, as you implied, penquin.

  14. Mar

    By the way penquin, thanks for your service.

  15. penquin

    By the way penquin, thanks for your service

    Didn’t realize I brought it up, but you’re welcome.

    Tho, truth-be-told the time I spent in the two different branches of the military happened to be during a period when we had no major conflicts…so it isn’t as if I was in an actual danger, and thus feel kinda weird when civilians “thank” me for it. But thanks for your thanks anyways.

     

    All that aside, were you really unaware of how Trump called McCain a “loser” ’cause he was a POW? It was pretty low-blow coming from our now-President, and was one of the first indictors that Trump wasn’t someone I wanted to support or be associated with.

  16. Mar

    Well, there was never any love between them. What Trump said about the POW situation was wrong but on the other hand McCain was not the best aviator either.
    I was in the Air Force when we invaded Granada and I was stuck in Minot, ND for 4 years.

  17. Le Roi du Nord

    So McCain getting shot down made him a “bad person” ?  How about the rest of the flyers that were shot down in VN ?  Were they bad people as well as well?

  18. Le Roi du Nord

    Sorry, forgot the “one”.

  19. Kevin Scheunemann

    Oh Nord,

    Biden is the furthest thing from funny, ever.

    You never take anything from Trump as a joke, so it makes you a hypocrite to think your candidate is joking.

    Besides, Biden hates military. He opposed taking out bin laden, biggest no brainer in history. He opposed all the terrorists Trump killed like Solemani.

    Like you, Biden openly sides with evil.

  20. Mar

    See, the sociopath is soooooo gullible. He believes a liberal news site as opposed to a video that shows Senile Joe disrespecting the troops.
    But that is not unusual for the sociopath. He believes in theories, extremist left web sites and unicorns.
    But then, when you only have 2 brain cells, you gotta believe in what your handlers tell you.

  21. Le Roi du Nord

    Hmmm, so a highly edited YouTube is a more reliable source than Reuter’s, eh? No wonder you believe what you believe.

    “Biden hates the military”. Absolutely no proof of that.

  22. Kevin Scheunemann

    Nord,

    If you oppose killing mortal unrepentant enemies…that is anti-military!

    You allow evil to keep hurting our service members!

    Wow, how thick are you?

  23. Mar

    At Pat, cool. About times conservatives fought back.

  24. Mar

    Probably a bunch of Karens,Pats and sociopaths on the bus.

  25. Pat

    What are they actually “fighting”, Marbels?

  26. Le Roi du Nord

    k:

    You are mortal, certainly unrepentant, and surely not my friend.  So what exactly are you asking ?

    And explain, in detail, and using facts, how I am allowing evil to keep hurting our service members.  Again, provide details, and use facts.

    Thanks

  27. Mar

    Funny that the sociopath demands facts when the sociopath refuses to provide facts when they demanded from him.
    And then lies on top of it.
    The irony.

  28. Le Roi du Nord

    What’s the lie, mar? Or did you make that up again?

  29. Mar

    Nope, you constantly lie and lie and lie, which has been pointed out so many times.
    That’s is why you are such a hateful, disgusting sociopath person.

  30. Le Roi du Nord

    And another baseless, unfounded, falsehood from mar. He can’t cite anything specific so makes stuff up. Somethings never change.

  31. Mar

    And this is why you are a sociopath and have even a worse case of dementia than Senile Joe. You should be in a nursing home, you’re just a danger to yourself.
    And you have no creditability.
    And people making fun of you.
    And the liberals here don’t even defend you.
    You are such a pathetic person.

  32. Kevin Scheunemann

    Nord,

    Simple test.

    Did you support Biden when he refused to kill bin laden?

    Supporting his weak decision hurts service members.

    Do you support Bidens weakness in eliminating evil?

  33. Le Roi du Nord

    k:

    In case you weren’t aware, it wasn’t Biden’s decision to make, it was Obama’s. Even you should know that. And the decision Obama made , in my opinion, was the right one.

    Do you support trump’s promotion of evil, such as white supremacy, adultery, self-promotion, voting twice, etc?

  34. Mar

    So, you got nothing sociopath.
    And then follows up with more lies and hate.
    Why are you such a hateful disgusting person?

  35. Kevin Scheunemann

    Yes Obama made right decision.

    But Biden said he would not have given the order. Do you support a guy that would purposely support hurting service members with weak decision making?

    You side step the question of the hurt you put on service members by supporting terrorist evil enabling Biden.

  36. Le Roi du Nord

    You talking to k, again?

  37. Mar

    Of course, the sociopath doesn’t realize that vice presidents offer advice. They just don’t sit on the White House fireplace mantle for decoration.
    And one reason Senile Joe was brought in as vice president was his foreign policy experience, which I guess he shared his experience with Hunter and Jim Biden.

  38. Mar

    No, sociopath, I was talking to the person who is a big hater, a bigot, a sociopath, a huge liar, is senile, a troll and a disgusting human being who pretends his name is Le Roi during Nord.

  39. Pat

    “But Biden said he would not have given the order.“

    What was Bidens reason? In accurate context please.

  40. Le Roi du Nord

    Sorry mar, but regardless of your opinion, the ultimate decision was Obama’s. You, k, and Biden can have differing suggestions, makes no difference now looking in the rear view mirror. Spin away, little fella.

  41. Mar

    Pat, Biden didn’t want to do the raid unless there was absolute proof that Bin Laden was at the compound.
    That shows poor judgement if you are going after a terrorist who killed 3000+ Americans.
    Thank goodness President Sparklefart did not listen to Senile Joe.
    And then to make it worse, he then lied about it, claiming he supported the decision.

  42. Kevin Scheunemann

    Nord,

    Yes I am talking about you supporting a candidate unwilling to destroy terrorists that hurt our service members.

    Unwilling to grasp your evil on this?

  43. Le Roi du Nord

    Poor judgement ? Poor judgement was going to Iraq to get WMDs that they knew weren’t there. And without a withdrawal plan. That is poor judgement. You guys are grasping at non-existent straws.

  44. Mar

    So, the sociopath has nothing again.

  45. Le Roi du Nord

    No mar, I gave you a real example of poor judgement. Looking big picture, something your ilk has problems with, Biden’s suggestion was certainly more reasoned than anything you have ever come up with.

  46. Pat

    So Biden really wasn’t opposed to killing Bin Laden, but was voicing concern and being overly cautious about executing the raid.

  47. Pat

    What actions has Trump taken in regards to the bounties Russia was paying for US servicemen kills?

  48. Kevin Scheunemann

    Nord,

    You are such a slippery hypocrite.

    Unwilling to answer my simple question about your pro-terrorist, anti-service member candidate?

    Coward.

  49. dad29

    to get WMDs that they knew weren’t there.

    You know that Bush KNEW that……..how?  Did he tell you this the day before the raids happened?  Were you in White House comms room?

    I’ve never been completely sold on the invasion(s) of Iraq, and the US has paid an enormous price for toppling Hussein.  But your assertion–without proof–deserves an examination.

  50. Mar

    “What actions has Trump taken in regards to the bounties Russia was paying for US servicemen kills?”
    Nothing because it never happened.

  51. Mar

    Your such a Karen, Pat.

  52. Pat

    How so, Marbels?

  53. Mar

    Or I could be wrong about them stopping traffic.
    But you are still a Karen,Pat.
    If you call these guys thugs for stopping traffic for a few seconds then what do you call the rioters, looters and cop beaters then?

  54. Pat

    “what do you call the rioters, looters and cop beaters “

    Thugs

  55. Pat

    “what do you call the rioters, looters and cop beaters “

    I take Thugs back. I call them criminals.

  56. Mar

    Umm, ok, some people block traffic and they are thugs.
    And people kill, hurt, destroy, terrorize are just criminals.
    Ok.
    Quite strange, though.

  57. Pat

    “Quite strange, though.“

    How so?? You disagree?

  58. Le Roi du Nord

    k:

    Why do you support a candidate that encourages voter fraud, civil uprisings, white domestic terrorist groups, mocks military veterans, minorities and the physically disabled?  Hmmm ?

  59. Le Roi du Nord

    k:

    BTW, the candidate I voted for doesn’t support what you claim he does.  You are making stuff up again.

  60. Mar

    And the sociopath brings nothing but lies.
    Disgusting human being.
    So much hate.
    So many lies.
    Such disgusting behavior for a supposed elected leader, which really is just in his 3 brain cell mind.

  61. Kevin Scheunemann

    Nord,

    January 27, 2012.   Get the facts before you lie.   Biden openly said he was against raid to take out bin Laden.   You support that kind of weak capitulation to evil?   Putting troops in harms way?

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YY8dAG-5aIs

    Awful. Just awful.

     

  62. Le Roi du Nord

    Using highly edited, biased, and unconfirmed youtube as a source is awful, truly awful.

    Panetta wrote in ” Worthy Fights”  that Biden “argued that we still did not have enough confidence that bin Laden was in the compound, and he came out firmly in favor of waiting for more information.”

    Since Panetta was there, and you weren’t, I’ll go with the eye witness.

     

  63. Le Roi du Nord

    Pat:

    Our son and his fiance were traveling the PA turnpike eastbound today and reported a trump caravan slowing down/obstructing  traffic for several miles.  That probably cost trump some votes.

    There is a difference between criminals and thugs: Criminals can be prosecuted, thugs could be, depending on the level of thugishness.  I doubt “thug” is defined in WI statutes, so that makes prosecution a little more difficult.

     

  64. Kevin Scheunemann

    Nord,

    Head in the sand. Awful. just awful.

    Don’t lecture others on Trump when you ignore this.

    Biden was also against Trump killing Solemani and ISIS leader.

    Your guy loves to keep terrorists alive, because he is weak.

  65. Pat

    “Biden was also against Trump killing Solemani and ISIS leader.”

    It’s not that I don’t believe you, but would you be able to provide quotes, in context, that back up what you’ve said.

  66. Mar

    “Our son and his fiance were traveling the PA turnpike eastbound today and reported a trump caravan slowing down/obstructing  traffic for several miles.  That probably cost trump some votes.”
    Too bad I don’t believe you. Provide some factual evidence police reports.
    Anecdotal doesn’t count.

  67. Le Roi du Nord

    Too bad for you, mar. You would be much wiser believing the truth rather whatever seeps into your denying little noggin. Your choice, get smarter, or remain in the dark.

  68. Mar

    See. Sociopath, I don’t believe sociopaths breed.
    I am sure you don’t.
    I mean, who would love you with all the lying you do? All the bigotry you have? All the hate you have bottled up? Who would breed with you?
    Maybe you found someone who is dumber than, someone with 2 brain cells, who deaf and blind. That is a possibility.
    But still no evidence on your claims.

  69. Pat

    Kevin,

    The Daily Wire is just another propaganda mouthpiece for the Radical Right.

    You still need to provide quotes, in full context, that Biden was against Trump killing Solemani and ISIS leader.

  70. dad29

    LeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeRoy………still waiting for your PROOF that Bush knew no WMD’s were in Iraq.

    Another “got nothin'” day for you?

  71. Mar

    “The Daily Wire is just another propaganda mouthpiece for the Radical Right.”
    And yet Pat uses Twitter as her news sources and then cries when I point out that’s not real news.

  72. Pat

    Marbles,

    I never cried. That is a lie. I’ve said numerous times that Twitter isn’t a news outlet. It’s a social media outlet.

    Why do you have the compulsion to make things up??

  73. Mar

    Nope, Crazy Pat, you have used Twitter as a news source. Remember the Michigan protests where you posted false news about that?
    Probably not.

  74. Pat

    Marbles,

    I shared an account of an incident posted to social media by an individual. There was no indication that it was made by a journalist or news outlet. You expressed your opinion that the individuals account was not accurate, and the was a lie perpetrated by me.

  75. Mar

    Yep, Crazy Pat, you posted a lie and then defended the lie despite overwhelming evidence.
    But that was in your crazier days and you have become a lot better in posting opinions lately, which I appreciate.

  76. Pat

    Marbles,

    It being a lie was your personal opinion, and not necessarily a fact.

  77. Mar

    Actually it was fact because we produced newspaper articles that clearly refuted what you wrote.

  78. Pat

    Marbles,

    I didn’t write the account.

  79. Mar

    But you passed off as truth.

  80. Pat

    Passed off as someone’s account of what they witnessed.

  81. Mar

    And this why I say that using Twitter is very stupid.

  82. penquin

    And this why I say that using Twitter is very stupid.

    How is reading what someone says on Twitter any different than reading what you say in these comments?

  83. Kevin Scheunemann

    PAt,

    It is all there.  The democrat coddling of evil terrorists.

    Democrats defend Islmaic terrorist killers more fiercely than they do Christians in this nation obeying the law.

  84. Mar

    “How is reading what someone says on Twitter any different than reading what you say in these comments?”
    Because Pat passed it off as fact and then defended it even though we had news sources that proved her wrong.
    And we usually source what we write if we write as fact.
    If it is an opinion, then there is no difference. But don’t try and pass Twitter off as fact.

  85. Pat

    Marbles,

    I refuse to go down that rabbit hole again. You can believe what you want. It doesn’t really matter to me.

  86. Pat

    Kevin,

    You live in an alternate reality. You believe what you want to believe. No amount of debating an issue will change your opinion. So why waste time debating it with you.

  87. Kevin Scheunemann

    Pat,

    The reality where terrorists are evil? And should be eliminated?

    May I suggest if you are against elimination of Islamic terrorist evil…you are in the alternative reality….and need help to join normal society, like many Democrat “leaders”.

  88. penquin

    Kevin – is it just Islamic terrorists you find to be evil and should be eliminated? Or do you feel the same way about domestic terrorists as well? Please clarify…thanks

  89. Kevin Scheunemann

    Penquin,

    We were talking about foreign terrorists and our military.

    If we need to take out domestic terrorists, I see that as more of FBI/ Homeland Security issue.

    Why do you run cover for Pat’s immorality?

  90. penquin

    Why do you run cover for Pat’s immorality?

    Is that code for something? ’cause I have no idea what you’re talking about.

  91. Kevin Scheunemann

    You were diverting subject from Pat’s obvious moral difficulty.

    He claims destroying Islamic terrorist evil is not a good thing and claims I live in “alternate reality” when I congratulate Obama and Trump on destroying aeful evil.

    Your question was pedantic, and irrelevant.

  92. Pat

    “He claims destroying Islamic terrorist evil is not a good thing“

    Kevin, why are you bearing false witness again. Please provide the quote where I said I claim “destroying Islamic terrorist evil is not a good thing.“

  93. Kevin Scheunemann

    Pat,

    Do you cheer the success of Obama and trump to take out Islamic terrorist?

    Why are you debating the issue then?

    Why doyou imply that calling these terrorist evila nd eliminating them is some sort of “alternate reality”.

    Stop dancing around, say what you mean then.

     

  94. Pat

    Kevin,

    I said what I mean. You don’t have the capacity to grasp what I said, which is what I expect. Like I said, it’s pointless to debate it with you.

  95. Jason

    >Looks like trump is pretty cozy with islamic terrorists.

    And yet your linked article mentions the words “islamic” or “terrorist” a whopping 0 times.  Seems you’ve got your cart in front of your dumb face hick.

  96. Mar

    Point to Jason.

  97. Kevin Scheunemann

    Pat,

    then you would be like Nord, a moral coward that is unwilling to clearly stake a position that will keep our service members safe then.

    One last shot.

    Was Obama killing bin Laden and Trump killing Solemani and several ISIS leaders a good thing?

    Not a hard question.

     

  98. Tuerqas

    >Looks like trump is pretty cozy with islamic terrorists.
    And yet your linked article mentions the words “islamic” or “terrorist” a whopping 0 times.  Seems you’ve got your cart in front of your dumb face hick.

    Unless Le Roi is pointing out that all A-rabs are alike… Is that what you are implying Le Roi?

  99. Pat

    Kevin,

    I’ve answered those questions months ago. If you don’t remember them, too bad. I don’t chew my cabbage twice.

  100. Mar

    No, she gums it.

  101. Le Roi du Nord

    Nah, chopping up journalists, and flying planes into buildings isn’t terrorism.  Saudis aren’t the nicest folks out there.  It wasn’t too long ago that k was all in a tizzy about any and all muslims, now he is a changed man.  Flippity-floppity strikes again.

  102. Jason

    >Unless Le Roi is pointing out that all A-rabs are alike… Is that what you are implying Le Roi?

    >Nah, chopping up journalists, and flying planes into buildings isn’t terrorism.  Saudis aren’t the nicest folks out there.

    That’s exactly what Leroy is doing.  Such a dirtbag.

     

  103. Le Roi du Nord

    Nope j, you are the one implying and assuming. Desperate move, not successful.
