The BIG Lies, Bumbles, Etc.
“We have among the lowest inflation rates of any country in America.” —Joe Biden
“I just hope you didn’t find any risqué pictures of my wife in a bathing suit. Which you probably did. She’s beautiful.” —Joe Biden to Robert Hur
Demo-gogues
“I hope you can imagine how it felt to read that attack — not just as Joe’s wife, but as Beau’s mother. I don’t know what this Special Counsel was trying to achieve. We should give everyone grace, and I can’t imagine someone would try to use our son’s death to score political points. If you’ve experienced a loss like that, you know that you don’t measure it in years — you measure it in grief. May 30th is a day forever etched on our hearts. It shattered me, it shattered our family.” —Jill Biden, again blaming Robert Hur for bringing up Beau’s death when Joe Biden did
“The bottom line is in order to have — actually have change — extensive change, real change, comprehensive change — that Senate bill that was — that was negotiated between Republicans and Sen— obviously, Democrats in the Senate would have been the best way to go. … It would have been the toughest, fairest piece of — piece of legislation — law, if you will — if it had been — if it had been moved and the president was able to sign it into law.” —White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre bumbling through an attempt to blame Republicans for Biden’s border dereliction
“A new study [shows] that 4 out of 5 Democratic candidates don’t talk about billionaire and corporate power. Democrats cannot win if we just talk about programs. We need to tell a story — about how the concentration and [sic] wealth & power is ruining America.” —Senator Chris Murphy on how Democrats must divide to win
With Friends Like These…
“Nobody expects Prime Minister Netanyahu to do the things that must be done to break the cycle of violence, preserve Israel’s credibility on the world stage, and work towards a two-state solution.” —Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (“We need to be standing with Israel. We need to give our friends and allies our full support. We have to stand with and support them right now. But what you’re seeing from the White House and clearly from the Senate Democrats is really exactly the opposite.” —House Speaker Mike Johnson)
Political Futures
“I think the legislation should pass and I think it should be sold.” —former Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, who wants to buy TikTok
“The so-called TikTok ban is a trojan horse. The President will be given the power to ban WEB SITES, not just Apps. The person breaking the new law is deemed to be the U.S. (or offshore) INTERNET HOSTING SERVICE or App Store, not the ‘foreign adversary.’” —Congressman Thomas Massie (R-KY)
Culture of Life or Death
“Virtually every purple-haired vegan that you ever meet will support abortion. They oppose the killing of irrational animals as inhumane, but they support the killing of human babies as a human right. Go figure.” —Michael Knowles
For the Record
“The left claimed Nex Benedict died as a non-binary trans martyr after she was jumped & beaten in the bathroom. Actually, Nex Benedict started the fight. And died of drug overdose, not trauma. The left LIED to you… to vilify you.” —Liz Wheeler
“Surely, institutions have been biased about alphabet ideology, but they are biased for it rather than against it. You can hardly walk 10 feet without encountering some institution or another slobbering over the most bizarre sexual identity or sexual practice. Schools are handing out dildos to students, for God’s sake, and handing kids books on gay S&M practices. What has been controversial is medicalizing and sterilizing confused children, and for very good reasons.” —David Strom
“It doesn’t take a master’s degree in economics to understand that prices are up in every sector of the economy. The economy under Joe Biden is nickel-and-diming us at every turn, and Americans can see past the smoke and mirrors that the White House is using to try to convince us that everything is fine.” —Chris Queen
