The BIG Lie

“Joe Biden … [is] leading the world in reducing inflation.” —Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)

Baghdad Bobs

“Crime went up under Donald Trump’s presidency. Crime is down under Joe Biden’s presidency. Donald Trump doesn’t care about crime. He doesn’t care about border security.” —Biden campaign communications director Michael Tyler

“This is a president who has gotten more done in his first term than any president in modern history.” —Biden campaign senior advisor TJ Ducklo

Shot/Chaser

“Trump is a existential, urgent threat to our democracy. He promises to rule as a dictator on day one.” —TJ Ducklo

“If I’m understanding correctly, the overarching message of the last two weeks has been that Donald Trump is set to become a dictator if he wins in November, but that, in spite of this, it’s just awful that the Supreme Court won’t let the executive branch run its own trials or impose criminal penalties without Congress, and it’s just great that the executive branch remains able to strip constitutional rights without due process and bully Facebook into moderating as it sees fit.” —Charles C.W. Cooke

Belly Laugh of the Day

“I am all in for President Biden because I think he’s done a good job and I think he has earned the right to be reelected to continue the work he’s doing to better position our country.” —Hillary Clinton

Pot Calling the Kettle Black

“For conservatives and delusional California bashers, their success depends on our failure. They want to impeach the very things that have made us successful, as a tactic to turn America toward a darker future. They do so in the name of ‘liberty’ and ‘freedom.’ They want to roll back social progress, social justice, racial justice, economic justice, clean air, clean water, and basic fundamental fairness. They would cleave America from the principles of freedom and the rule of law. And in the process, throw our economy and, in many respects, society as we’ve known it into chaos.” —California Governor Gavin Newsom

Credit Where It’s Due

“Listen, if you don’t like what’s happening in Gaza, it’s your right to protest. That’s not a problem. But you protest a policy. You don’t protest a people. … You don’t bum-rush a Jewish neighborhood and run up on a synagogue. That’s not protesting a policy. That’s protesting a people. … Politics can be complicated. Geopolitics can be really complicated. How you treat your neighbors, how you treat people in your community, is not complicated. [I] haven’t seen any Jewish people running up on mosques with Israeli flags.” —CNN’s Van Jones

Upright

“Kids would be better served to learn the ten commandments in school than about ten different genders.” —Outspoken Samantha

And Last…

“Biden’s [debate] presence confirmed that Robert Hur, the special counsel who investigated the president’s handling of classified documents, was, if anything, pulling punches when he wrote that Biden is ‘a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.’” —Matthew Continetti

“It’s deeply alarming that Joe Biden needs to be secluded for seven days so he can speak coherently for 90 minutes.” —Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR)
