Insight: “War is an ugly thing but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feelings which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.” —John Stuart Mill (1806-1873)

If it weren’t for double standards… “Trump says we should vote for him because he’s a great business man. Really? He drove his companies into bankruptcy six times, always leaving behind customers and contractors who were cheated and swindled and stopped doing business with him. Well this time, all of us are paying the price.” —Michael Bloomberg (“Bloomberg himself stiffed campaign workers after promising them employment through the election. He had to be shamed into giving them healthcare through November.” —Yashar Ali)

Braying jackass: “November is about … stopping fascism in the United States. And that … is what Trump represents.” —Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Alpha jackass: “[Trump is] a coward-in-chief who won’t stand up to Vladimir Putin, read his daily intelligence briefings, or even publicly admonish adversaries for reportedly putting bounties on our troops’ heads. As president, Joe Biden would never let tyrants manipulate him like a puppet. He would never pervert our military to stroke his own ego.” —Senator Tammy Duckworth

Grand delusions: “I don’t think there’s any doubt that any sensible person should have that there is a deliberate effort to sabotage vote-by-mail.” —Hillary Clinton

Déjà vu: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men and women are created equal.” —Joe Biden once again embellishing “the thing,” as he previously said: “We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women are created by the, you know, you know the thing.”

The BIG Lie: “Remember seeing those neo-Nazis and Klansmen and white supremacists coming out. … Remember what the president said when asked? He said there were, quote, very fine people on both sides. It was a wake-up call for us as a country. And for me, a call to action.” —Joe Biden, repeatedly the egregious lie about Charlottesville (“Biden spoke at Klansman Robert Byrd’s funeral and campaigned for him, but sure, Charlottesville.” —Katie Pavlich)

And last… “Last night, Joe Biden promised racial reconciliation, political reconciliation, and an end to covid. Wasn’t he in the government for the last five decades?” —Ben Shapiro
