66 Days to go
“[T]he Justice Department is not the president’s private law firm. The attorney general is not the president’s private lawyer. I will not interfere with the Justice Department’s judgment of whether or not they think they should pursue the prosecution of anyone that they think has violated the law.”
–Joe Biden, Aug. 6, 2020, on whether or not as president, he would block prosecution of Trump.
“He suggested we should postpone the election, full of just bald-faced lies about how mail-in votes were fraud, and how it was so terrible. He’s calling out any effort to exploit this pandemic for political purposes. It distracts from his complete failure.”
–Joe Biden, on Trump’s desperate maneuvers as he falls in the polls.
“We desperately need an actual president. I hope we have one in January. Until then, unfortunately, the lesser evil is that Trump spends his time rage-watching Fox News and howling at the moon.”
Eugene Robinson, writing in The Washington Post, Aug. 3, 2020.
“Anybody of substance is voting for Biden. Anybody who has an IQ of over 100 and has worked for Donald Trump, with the exception of Steve Bannon, is not voting for him.”
—Former Trump aide Anthony Scaramucci
“The Washington Post is blatantly interfering with the business relationships of the Trump Organization, and it must stop. Please be advised that we are building up a very large ‘dossier’ on the many false David Fahrenthold and others [sic] stories as they are a disgrace to journalism and the American people.”
—White House spokesman Judd Deere letter to Washington Post reporter David Fahrenthold, Aug. 27, 2020. [Have we become so numbed to Trump idiocy that we are no longer the least bit outraged at his attempt to trample all over the First Amendment?]
“How shocked are we that 17-year-olds with rifles decided they had to maintain order when no one else would?”
—Fox News host Tucker Carlson, defending Kyle Rittenhouse, the Illinois teenager who is accused of killing two protesters and injuring another in Kenosha, Wisconsin. [Seriously? And from the White House, which wants to quell any criticism of the administration, only silence while a talking a*****e endorses vigilante justice in a so-called civilized society that grows more barbaric every day under Donald Trump. Dear God, what have we become? Indeed, how shocked are we? How numbed have we become to such behavior that we have not demanded action from such cowards as John Kennedy, Bill Cassidy, et al, who have themselves become deafening in their own silence?]

I don’t watch Fox and had not heard what Tucker Carlson said about the teenager. But as I read the quote a few moments ago, my mouth literally dropped open. I don’t know that I’ve ever read anything that demonstrates a man’s greed more than this…saying something so ridiculous to gratify his
audience and keep his ratings and his $10M salary.
The true enemies of the people are not hiding and he is just one of too many people getting rich off propaganda. I guess if you have enough money you are insulated from everything including the civil war you are fomenting.
For those of you who like real life horror humor, here is a video to watch. Jordon Klepper vs. Trump Supporters.
I nearly fell out of my chair when Mr Klepper responded to the kid who claimed that the media doesn’t portray the actual number of african americans that support trump by looking around the area and asking where they are……. crickets, lol.
…after watching more of that, I stopped laughing and stopped watching at about 9 minutes. That’s a depressing state of affairs to witness. No wonder foreign countries are having no real trouble wagging the dog with social media.
Thank you for your sensible words. Keep up the good work!
My husband enjoyed reading your Louisiana Rocks book!
