Delusions of Grandeur

“Have we left the country in better shape than we found it? [T]onight, I can say with all my heart, the answer to that question is a resounding ‘Yes.’” —Joe Biden

Who Wants to Tell Him?

“It was a close election at the end of the day.” —House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries

Demagogues

“The Justice Dept and the court system failed to uphold the principle that no one is above the law. DOJ by neglecting to promptly investigate the events of Jan 6, and the courts by willfully delaying progress of the case and providing immunity. The public deserved better.” —Congressman Adam Schiff

“The Constitution is very clear that [Trump] cannot serve another term. And what my fear is is that … Donald Trump is well on his way to dismantling our government.” —Congressman Dan Goldman

“If you think that you can vote for what people see as their destruction and then demand that they still are cool with you … and have Thanksgiving with you, I think you’re kind of missing the point of what people are upset about. They’re afraid. And autocracy and fascism are things that are legitimate to be afraid of. So, you may want to step back.” —MSNBC’s Joy Reid

“Musk and Ramaswamy have already promised massive cuts to eviscerate federal agencies Republicans don’t like. … So, you know, get ready to enjoy unregulated financial markets, polluted air and water, and raw unpasteurized milk, likely without ObamaCare to help you out at the ER.” —Joy Reid

“How did a convicted felon resonate more with Americans than a hyper-qualified woman of color?” —"The View" co-host Sunny Hostin

“We have bathrooms here in this building. It just says, ‘All genders.’ Why can’t they just do that everywhere?” —"The View" co-host Joy Behar

For the Record

“If you’ve received a prescription for ADHD medicine you are ineligible to join the US military. But if you are a mentally ill man who thinks they are a woman, you can join the military and the U.S. government will pay for your sex change.” —Congresswoman Nancy Mace

Re: National Security

“The one thing that the Ukraine war has done is accelerate warfare with the development of drone technology. So now the threat [to the president] is not just a guy with a rifle; it’s an assassin with a drone who can watch it from beyond visual range.” —former Navy SEAL and Blackwater founder Erik Prince

And Last…

“Biden achieved his lifelong dream of becoming president — and then ensured he would be widely remembered as a failure.” —Jim Geraghty
