“We’re going to have to see what happens, you know, but I’ve been complaining very strongly about the ballots. The ballots are a disaster. Get rid of the ballots and you’ll have a very peaceful — there won’t be a transfer, frankly. There will be a continuation.”
—Donald Trump, in refusing to commit to a peaceful transition of power if he loses the election on Nov. 3. [That’s your “law and order” president, folks.]
“This is the most frightening answer I have ever received to any question I have ever asked. I’ve interviewed convicted killers with more empathy. Donald Trump is advocating Civil War.”
—Reporter Brian Karem, who had asked Trump about a peaceful transition.
“I’m being facetious. I said, what country are we in? Look, he says the most irrational things. I don’t know what to say.”
—Joe Biden, responding to Trump’s hint of contesting the election results.
“Fundamental to democracy is the peaceful transition of power; without that, there is Belarus. Any suggestion that a president might not respect this Constitutional guarantee is both unthinkable and unacceptable.”
—Tweet by Mitt “Flip-Flop” Romney, Sept. 23, 2020.
“I challenge that, senator. This happens with Senator Rand all the time. You are not listening to what the director of the CDC [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] said, that in New York [the infection rate is] about 22 percent. If you believe 22 percent is herd immunity, I believe you’re alone in that,”
—Dr. Anthony Fauci, scolding Sen. Rand Paul for Paul’s theory that New Yorkers have now developed sufficient immunity to no longer be at risk of coronavirus. [Basically, Dr. Fauci was calling Paul an idiot, something that should have been pointed out long ago.]
NOT A TRUMP QUOTE, but it should be (with apologies to Calvin & Hobbes):
“Reality continues to ruin my life.”

“If you don’t know where you’re going, any path will get you there,” Jared Kushner told Bob Woodward in his new book, Rage; explaining that the Cheshire Cat in Alice in Wonderland can help a person understand tRump’s management style.
And following up on some of yesterday’s comments, here is an interesting article: “If You Still Support Donald Trump Today, I Instantly Know 8 Things About You” by Brian Moniz. It was written over 17 months ago but is still so very applicable today. As a tRump supporter you may not get through the whole thing, but I would urge you to at least read the last two paragraphs of the article.

When trying to figure out why impeached trump responded to COVID-19 as he did, I concluded he was dumb as a rock. After hearing from the “Rage” tapes that he knew it was spread through the air and was very contagious, but has promoted the exact opposite of what would help, I have come to different conclusion: Putin’s Pet trump is doing exactly what Putin has told him to do. And I also believe impeached trump has had a long term strategy of losing the election so he will have an excuse to unleash his violent supporters in wide spread civil war. What could be better for Putin in his efforts to discredit the USA and all democracies on the world stage?
The likelihood of that outcome is what keeps me awake some nights.
