“When John McCain died, so did Lindsey Graham’s spine. I do not know how the man can look at himself in the mirror and not feel ashamed at his 180-degree turn on how he viewed Donald Trump. Now, I did not like John McCain’s politics. I thought he was mistaken. But I also thought he was a hero, a good man and above all a man who had been through hell and back. He was a man who took a microphone from a confused supporter after she started to babble nonsense about Barack Obama and then said that Obama was a good American that he just happened to disagree with.”
—Marc Jones, in response to question on Quora about John McCain ally Lindsey Graham’s mutation from Trump critic to that of little Senate lapdog.
“[U.S. Sen. Bill Cassidy] uses the Penn Club for campaign events and we believe everything was done appropriately.”
—Cassidy campaign spokesman Ty Bofferding denied any wrongdoing on the part of Cassidy for using campaign funds for club membership dues.
“Using campaign money for a social club membership, regardless of the amount, would be personal use and not legal.”
—Erin Chlopak, a former FEC attorney who now serves as campaign finance strategy director at the Campaign Legal Center, on Cassidy’s use of campaign funds for club membership dues. [Using campaign funds in this manner is legal in Louisiana (go figure) but the rules are far more restrictive at the federal level.]
“Unfortunately, this simple, lifesaving practice has become part of a political debate that says: If you’re for Trump, you don’t wear a mask. If you’re against Trump, you do.”
—Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn), on how the decision to wear or not wear a mask has become a political statement on the opposition or support of Trump.
“We encourage everyone to wear a mask in the affected areas. Where you can’t maintain social distancing, wearing a mask is just a good idea, especially young people.”
—Vice President Mike (Casper the Ghost) Pence, in urging the wearing of masks only days after he had lamely (twice) defended not wearing masks as a decision of personal liberty. [Does that me he’s “against Trump” in the November election—and will Trump dump him as his Veep?]

From a Quora entry: “Lincoln was not only smart. Lincoln had the smarts to manage the smarts, all under a guise of grace, humility and a wonderfully wicked sense of humor.”
I wish every Republican in Congress would read that one sentence and ask themselves which part is a characteristic of their current leader and what has become of “The Party of Lincoln.”
And I don’t want, in response, “Obama, Obama, Obama, Clinton,..Clinton, Clinton…Dems, Dems, Dems, Fake News, Fake News, Fake News….” If anybody wants to mention JFK, that’s fine.
hmmmm… it appears he is able to spell Lincoln correctly. Does that count? 🙂
