Tongue-in-cheek: “I was going to vote for Trump but then an entertainer I like posted on social media that he is a fascist. And their bravery in tweeting and facebooking and gramming what every other person in their industry has been saying for years pushed me over the edge.” —Bethany S. Mandel

Observations: “‘The riots are happening in Donald Trump’s America and will stop if you elect Joe Biden’ sounds very much like extortion.” —Erick Erickson

For the record: “The big backlash going on in Portland cannot be unexpected after 95 days of watching and [sic] incompetent Mayor admit that he has no idea what he is doing. The people of Portland won’t put up with no safety any longer. The Mayor is a FOOL. Bring in the National Guard!” —Donald Trump

Lack of self-awareness: “As a country, we must condemn the incitement of hate and resentment that led to this deadly clash. It is not a peaceful protest when you go out spoiling for a fight. What does President Trump think will happen when he continues to insist on fanning the flames of hate and division in our society and using the politics of fear to whip up his supporters?” —Joe Biden 

Alpha jackass: “I’m ready to put these police in the f—ing grave. … The same way I f—k police up in New York, I f—k cops up in here in DC. … I always say, ‘Don’t get on this f—ing front line if you ain’t gonna f—ing fight.’ Don’t get on this front line. When the police f—ing push up, you push back. If you gonna be on this front line, and them racist a—, nasty a—, punk a—, f—ing police is pushing up, you push the f—k up.” —a self-identified “leader” of the BLM anarchists in DC (Joe Biden’s response? Zzzzzzzzz…)

The BIG Lie: “[Rioting is] happening all over the country. It is happening under Donald Trump’s watch. … We are not safe in Donald Trump’s America.” —Sen. Amy Klobuchar (On the contrary, rioting is occurring under the watch of feeble Democrat mayors and governors.)

Grand delusions: “I just want to thank [Colin Kaepernick] for falling on the sword for the better of all of us as athletes. … He’s another one of those athletes that’s generational.” —LeBron James

And last… “Too many people today act as if no one can honestly disagree with them. If you have a difference of opinion with them, you are considered to be not merely in error but in sin. You are a racist, a homophobe or whatever the villain of the day happens to be.” —Thomas Sowell
