“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.

“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.”

“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.]
