The BIG Lie

“This week marks seven years since white supremacists gathered in Charlottesville spouting sick, anti-semitic bile. Trump said there were ‘very fine people on both sides.’” —Joe Biden

Baghdad Bob

“We have been doing the work — right? — for hardworking Americans to lower costs.” —White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre

Dumb & Dumber

“So, look, because they’ve been partners, those achievements have been done — certainly, those historic, unprecedented achievement have been done together.” —Karine Jean-Pierre when asked, “What does the president see as the vice president’s biggest achievement during their time in office together?”

“The issues that [Harris and I] worked on together have made great progress economically.” —Joe Biden

Shot/Chasers

“When I am president, it will be a day one priority to fight to bring down prices.” —Kamala Harris


“Apparently Kamala Harris has all these great ideas to fix the economy but kept them to herself and let us suffer despite having direct access to the president.” —Frank J. Fleming

“If you think the economy is bad today, putting a San Francisco socialist in charge would make it much worse.” —Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR)

Swampthink

“If the debt is stabilized relative to the size of the economy, we’re in a reasonable place.” —Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen

Theater of the Absurd

“I understand why [Donald Trump] doesn’t want to debate.” —Congressman Dan Goldman (D-NY)

Touché

“Kamala Harris has done as many tough interviews as Tim Walz has battlefield deployments.” —GOP VP nominee JD Vance

Re: The Left

“The United States is far ahead of so many other developed nations but lags behind in one area: its obsession with identity politics. If people don’t wake up to the absolute absurdity of this toxic ideology when its mouthpiece is someone as moronic as Kamala Harris, then this country might doom itself to an eternity of caring more about the color of our skin, the country of our birth, or the reproductive organs in our pants than the content of our character.” —Ian Haworth

Upright

“There’s a loss of freedom of expression. Everybody’s trying to be so politically correct. Back in the ‘70s [Hollywood] may have been skewed to the left, but everybody was trying to be politically incorrect back then. That was the thing, and it was an exciting time. We had a real dialogue with people instead of trying to fit into a mold.” —actor Dennis Quaid

And Last…

“You just can’t trust anyone who chooses a Communist country for their honeymoon destination.” —Buck Sexton
