“President Trump has tried every dirty trick in the book — and a few new ones — to cast doubts about the workings of Joe Biden’s brain. But Trump has been focusing on entirely the wrong organ. Biden’s appeal is from the heart.”
—Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank, Aug. 20, 2020.
“Biden goes to church so regularly that he doesn’t even need tear gas,”
—Actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus, emceeing the Democratic virtual convention, in reference to Trump’s Bible photo op in Lafayette Square.

“This is yet another major win in the fight against dark money in politics. It will be much harder for donors to anonymously contribute to groups that advertise in elections. This is a great day for transparency and democracy.”
—Jordan Libowitz, spokesperson for Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), on a decision by a federal appeals court that is considered a defeat for Sen. Mitch McConnell and Republican political operative Karl Rove, the man behind the exposure of CIA agent Valerie Plame and who was instrumental in the framing and imprisonment of former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman https://www.newyorker.com/news/daily-comment/obama-pardon-don-siegelman
“We are not letting people be evicted.”
—Donald Trump, on Aug. 11, upon approving executive actions after stimulus negotiations with Congress stalled.
“[W]e are very likely to see millions of renters face displacement or eviction, starting in September and October. Trump literally did nothing to stop or prevent evictions. There’s no requirement to do anything.”
–Diane Yentel, president of the National Low Income Housing Coalition, on Aug. 21, 2020.
“Trump seems as drawn to QAnon conspiracy theorists as sycophants are to him. [He] consorts with knaves and fools, plays around with dumb ideas and gives little thought to the safety and welfare of 330 million Americans. He lives to indulge in cheap tricks that make him look good and thus worthy of adulation. He sickens.”
—Op-ed by Washington Post columnist Colbert King, Aug. 21, 2020.
“You said the president seemed to embrace it. I didn’t hear that. I heard the president talk about he appreciates people that support him.”
—Vice President Mike (Casper the Ghost) Pence, like the obedient milquetoast he is, denying the obvious. [Sure, Casper, and we all heard (or read) Trump’s laudatory tweets about QAnon proponent Marjorie Taylor Greene’s win in that Georgia congressional primary where he called her a “future Republican star, a real winner.” Now you can return to your appointed place somewhere behind Trump and watch in stony silence as you normally do.]
“I’ve had discussions with Marjorie Greene, she won that primary, and she recently came out and denounced the Q organization. I do not agree with their beliefs at all, and she denounced those,”
—House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R0Calif.) [Yeah, and David renounced, denounced and otherwise tried to distance himself from the KKK when it was politically expedient for him in his various political races – but once his elective ambitions ended, he returned to the fold So, if it walks like a wingnut and quacks like a wingnut…she’s probably a wingnut.]
Have a can of wingnuts:
America – Chock Full O Nuts – and we don’t even have to go to New York City to get it.
We Americans all share compassion for a person with a learning disability.
However the current occupant of the Oval Office demonstrates unequivocally
the disastrous result of electing them to a position for which they are manifestly unfit.
If he has a learning disability that’s one Thing. If his narcissism precludes his learning, I find it difficult to give him the benefit of doubt. In any case, he has proven he is unfit and dangerous. Some people will never accept that. Our only hope is that there are more of us who do.
Coming out Tuesday is a new book, “HOAX: Donald Trump, Fox News, and the Dangerous Distortion of Truth” by Brian Stelter. Last night Stelter did an interview with Rachel Maddow, giving a real glimpse into the book. Below is the link to that interview and the book quotes Sean Hannity as privately saying tRump was “bats**t crazy.”

CJG,
Books about Trump have ceased to be relevant or revelatory a long time ago. What are we going to learn that we haven’t already? Trump is a book in itself, given his behavior, deeds, and pronouncements. Preaching to the choir. His base will not bother to read the books. How many folks are really undecided at this point?
I guess I just love listening to a choir.:)
Let me add that I agree with you, but I haven’t given up hope that we will get Ms. Zoe to vote for Biden.
CJG, you can give up on Zoe. That’s not going to happen.
Bots don’t vote.
I estimate 5-8% at most and these are the people we have to hope can be reached.
