“The greatest threat facing the nation was an insider threat and still is. The insider threat is sitting in the Oval Office.”
—Frank Figliuzzi, a former FBI assistant director for counterintelligence, on MSNBC network last week. [Okay, I know, the FBI doesn’t have the greatest credibility in the eyes of Trump and his crowd, but still…]
“Who needs Vladimir Putin when we have Donald Trump? If you were Vladimir Putin and you wanted to disrupt this election, what would you do? You’d spread disinformation. You’d make people doubt the legitimacy of the vote. You’d peddle conspiracy theories and you might want to mess with mail-in voting. That’s all happening without him. Our president is doing that. It’s very clear that Trump will use every lever of governmental power to stay in office. There’ll be many mail-in votes and the mail-in votes will be very different than the same-day votes. What he will do – and it will be very much on brand for Donald Trump – is declare victory on election night and then, as the mail-in votes are counted, he will insist that that they are not legitimate, that the election is being stolen from him, and I think that has the potential to create massive doubt and chaos.”
—Conservative author and broadcaster Charlie Sykes. [Trump supporters, did you get that “conservative” part?]
“The deep state, or whoever, over at the FDA is making it very difficult for drug companies to get people in order to test the vaccines and therapeutics. Obviously, they are hoping to delay the answer until after November 3rd. Must focus on speed, and saving lives!”
—Idiot child Trump tweet, Aug. 22, 2020, 6:49 a.m. [The “deep state” is everywhere…and nowhere.]
“Trump has been saying mail-in ballots will bring fraud to the election but absentee ballots are legit. Which is it? It can’t be both ways. I laughed because if the campaign actually took information from other times, they have reached out to me, they’d know I won’t vote for Trump despite being a registered Republican.”
—Chandler Carranza, after receiving an absentee ballot in the mail with the Tangerine Toddler’s smiling photo on it. [Again, Trumpettes, did you catch the words “registered Republican”? And do you understand the irony of Trump’s voting by mail-in ballot?]
“The committee found that Trump’s team knew ahead of time that emails stolen from the Democratic National Committee by Russian intelligence agents would appear in Wikileaks, and worked with Wikileaks to produce an ‘October surprise’ toward winning that election. Despite Trump’s recollection, the committee assesses that Trump did, in fact, speak with (Roger) Stone about WikiLeaks and with members of his campaign about Stone’s access to WikiLeaks on multiple occasions.”
—-Republican-majority Senate Intelligence Committee report on the 2016 Trump campaign. [So, while the word “collusion” is not mentioned specifically…]
“I think you take a look at the great people President Trump has surrounded himself with, some of the brilliant women and some of the brilliant leaders. I would say that overall, the president has had a very good track record of hiring excellent people.”
—Trump adviser Jason Miller, on NBC’s Meet the Press, Aug. 23, 2020. [Bannon, Flynn, Manafort, Gates, Cohen, Papadopoulos, Stone…]
“We don’t have any authority to do that at the department.”
—Acting Department of Homeland Security secretary Chad Wolf, on sending agents to guard polling places in the November election. [Gawd, at last someone in the administration who gets it right.]
Are we Amerika, yet?
tRump promised to drain the Washington swamp. Instead, he has surrounded himself with family members, appointees and advisers who’ve been accused of conflict of interest, misuse of public funds, influence peddling, self-enrichment, working for foreign governments, failure to disclose information and violating ethics rules. Here is a short list of names (adding to the ones Tom listed above) from Bloomberg in March, 2019.

Okay, 1) FBI allowed a rogue President use them to spy on someone illegally, to push a fabricated and false “dossier” . They need to clean house.2) Trump has instituted the harshest economic sanctions EVER on the Russians and has hurt their economy. With friends like Trump, Putin does not need enemies..3)You doubt the existence of a “deep state” intrenched in our government ? That is what the bureaucracy is, and they know politicians come and go, but they are “forever”. 4)The difference in absentee and general mail in is that one requests an absentee ballot. Mail is is not solicited and may be stolen, forged etc. And if you think mail in is necessary, you must think no one should leave their home to shop, socialize, grocery shop etc. 5)Why is it not okay to use Wikileaks but okay for Hillary to spend MILLIONS of fake “dossiers” and promote same through FBI/CIA ? 6) Thank God all of Clinton, Bush, Obama appointees were Saints. 7) I agree.
Ms. Zoe, you are priceless.
CJ, I Am often told that. Thanks !
( I do understand your comment was sarcastic). I would love to have you expound on which points you think are factually in error, and am anxiously awaiting your defense of the Democrat Platform…..any of it.
