From the Loony Left
“As to the elections, [President Trump] still can call out ICE and CBP and send them to, well, wherever he wants for the elections. And I expect that he may try to do that. They’ll be wearing camouflage uniforms. They’ll be carrying automatic weapons.” —Illinois Governor JB Pritzker

“I do take seriously the unfortunate attitude that Trump and his party have that they couldn’t win a fair election in these midterms. So they’re going to try to prevent mail-in ballots from being sent to people. They’re going to try to intimidate people from going to the polls. They’re going to be threatening people. And unfortunately, they may well show up in certain places in order to demonstrate a kind of chilling effect on voters.” —Hillary Clinton

“Everything that Trump does, he does exactly what Putin would want him to do. ... They got something on this guy. ... Nothing else makes sense.” —Democrat strategist James Carville

“We are in a moment of great realignment in our country. ... And a lot of the things that people said couldn’t happen before can happen now. ... Because that is the gift of disruption. You’ve got someone coming in making a mess of everything, and that allows us to rebuild it all from scratch with new foundations.” —Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

What Could Possibly Go Wrong?
“Here is my promise: If the Republicans win the House of Representatives and the United States Senate ... I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000.” —President Donald Trump

From the Reasonable Right
“Stealing $200 billion from American consumers and then handing out $1.3 trillion in bribes while running a $2 trillion deficit isn’t a ‘dividend.’” —David Harsanyi

“Unicorn farts are a far more realistic vehicle than tariff revenue by which the government can fund $5000.00 per American adult.” —Erick Erickson

“A warning to the country: eventually, our deficit spending will become untenable and force austerity. ... Conservatives need to start taking this crisis seriously before it’s too late.” —Joel Berry

“Some of us think dependency is evil & soul-sucking in all its forms.” —Texas Congressman Chip Roy

“Democrats ... must resist treating every Trump statement as the final scene of civilization. When everything is called ‘fascism,’ the word loses its meaning. Outrage is not an agenda, and contempt for Trump’s voters is not a substitute for persuading them. The party cannot win merely by promising to return America to the afternoon before Trump descended the escalator. Republicans face their own moral test. Loyalty should never require silence. If they applaud every success and excuse every excess, they become attendants to power rather than guardians of principle. Trump needs honest allies more than obedient admirers. No president benefits from a room in which everyone is afraid to say, ‘Mr. President, this is a bad idea.’” —Armstrong Williams

“I’m beginning to think that the words ‘sensitivity’ and ‘compassion’ should be stricken from the English language. At the very least, it needs to be communicated to a lot of Americans that neither of those is the primary purpose of the criminal justice system.” —Laura Hollis

“I think it’s become incredibly easy for defense attorneys to establish reasonable doubt when it comes to responsibility in a society that has abandoned reason and abandoned objective morality.” —Nick Freitas

“‘AI could kill us all one day’ is the new ‘climate change is an existential threat.’ It’s not true, and even if it were true, nobody’s willing to do what’s necessary to stop it globally, so why worry?” —Buck Sexton

“I try not to pay attention to the conspiracy nuts.” —former President George W. Bush regarding 9/11
