“If we had a competent press, the President making it clear he was refusing an aid package Democrats have had waiting since May to jam through a radical judge… would seal Trump’s loss.”
—Blogger Marcy Wheeler.
“What does make sense though, is Trump clearing the decks in the Senate so he can get Amy Coney Barrett confirmed to the Supreme Court to create a legal backdrop for him if he loses on Election Day. It’s become a complete obsession for Trump and the GOP, even as the White House becomes a Covid-19 hot spot.”
—Press Run, Oct. 7, 2020. [This should bring into sharp focus the fact that Trump does not care about the millions of hard-working, sweating Americans desperately trying to keep their lives together in the face of closed businesses, lost jobs, lost medical care, lost educational opportunities. But he does care about staying out of jail and remaining in office with the help of a Supreme Court majority is his ONLY path to that goal.]
“The radical left are laying the groundwork to steal this election from my father, President Donald Trump … We cannot let that happen. We need every able-bodied man, woman to join army for Trump’s election security operation.”
—Donnie Trump, Jr., in effort to recruit 50,000 volunteers despite prohibitions in most states against partisan election monitors interfering with the voting process.
“This is another tactic to intimidate folks at the polls. He’s not interested in poll watchers; he wants poll intimidators. But it’s not going to work because the truth of the matter is there are more of us in this country that believe in democracy than there are of them.”
—LaTosha Brown, on Junior’s call for volunteers.
“He just gave a call to action for the Proud Boys that are a known white supremacist group, that are known to carry weapons, that are known to be violent. If people are hearing that the Proud Boys are going to show up at the polls, some people are going to be afraid and that’s exactly what they want to have happen. They want them to not vote.”
—Katie Hill, former Democratic congresswoman from California.
“One of the worst aspects of Donald Trump has been his ability to corrupt our national life. Not only does he suck the integrity from his supporters, he encourages those who oppose him to live down to their worst instincts.”
—Chris Truax, San Diego attorney and CEO of CertifiedVoter.com.
NOT A TRUMP QUOTE, but it should be (with apologies to Cavin & Hobbes)
“I like maxims that don’t encourage behavior modification.”
Not being a slave to consistency (aka, being unhinged), he already changed his tune on stimulus checks. Look, the man is a psychopath who is now on steroids. Can’t somebody save us before Election Day?
God forbid, but is the worst yet to come? He keeps pushing buttons hoping one of them will save him. So far, they have only been distractions. But when he gets desperate enough as the days tick by, what will he think of or someone suggest to him that will make even the forty percent think twice.
How do you guys think Sleepy Joe will get around the release of his son’s emails which seems to expose the corruption of the Biden clan ? You all supported impeachment of Trump for doing what Joe Biden actually did ie. extortion. Honestly, what did firing a special prosecutor in a small poor country have to do with the interests of the United States? Nothing. Except it would have exposed the Biden’s.
And then, there is the China aspect.
This is not conspiracy, it is fact.
Careful, Zoe. I believe if you dive a little deeper into this, you will see where those emails have been debunked. Their authenticity has been discredited by everyone except the New York Post and Rudy Giuliani. In other words…dare I say it?…fake news.
