Stolen in full from I Should Be Laughing:

Joe Biden, on Trump's  betrayal of the American public over COVID-19:

"He knew how deadly it was. It was much more deadly than the flu. He knew and purposely played it down. Worse, he lied to the American people. He knowingly and willingly lied about the threat it posed to the country for months. He had the information. He knew how dangerous it was. And while this deadly disease ripped through our nation, he failed do his job on purpose! It was a life and death betrayal on the American people. His failure has not only cost lives, it has sent our economy in a tailspin. It cost millions more in American livelihoods. This is a recession created by Donald Trump's negligence, and he's unfit for this job as a consequence of it. How many schools aren't open right now? How many kids are starting a new school year the same way they ended the last one, at home? How many parents feel abandoned and overwhelmed? How many frontline workers are exhausted and pushed to their limits? And how many families are missing loved ones at their dinner table tonight because of his failures? It's beyond despicable. It's a dereliction of duty, it's a disgrace."

He's.A.Murderer.

Kayleigh McEnany, AKA Bullshit Barbie, White House Press Secretary, on Trump's lies:

"The president never downplayed the virus. The president expressed calm… This president embodied the American spirit, that when we face a challenge, a crisis, a pandemic, we come together, we can be optimistic. We can be serious about it, we can take it seriously with our actions, which is exactly what this president does. It's why we lead the world in testing. Doing far more than the number two, which is India. he took this seriously but he still expressed calm."

Um, Kayleigh, you ignorant fuck, his voice is on tape saying he would play down the seriousness of the virus. You're either fucking dumb, delusional, or a pandering asshat.

No, I take that back, you're all three and more, because you probably knew the truth in January, too.

Paul Eaton, retired Major General of the Army, on Trump's disdain for our military men and women:

"I am pretty unhappy with you, Mr. Trump… I'm going to keep this short for your famous short attention span. You have shown disrespect to the military on countless occasions … I am stunned that anybody in the United States military would consider you anything but a loser and a sucker. You're no patriot."

Well, I knew he wasn't a patriot when he tried five times to get out of military service, and then had Daddy buy him a doctor's excuse.

Jenna Karvunidis, credited with creating the "gender reveal party" on the fire started in California from a gender reveal fireworks display:

"Stop it. Stop having these stupid parties. For the love of God, stop burning things down to tell everyone about your kid's penis. No one cares but you. It was 116 degrees in Pasadena yesterday and this tool thought it would be smart to light a fire about his kid's dick. Toxic masculinity is men thinking they need to explode something because simply enjoying a baby party is for sissies. Oh, and of course I'm getting hate messages. Excuse me for having a cake for my family in 2008. Just because I'm the [gender reveal inventor] doesn't mean I think people should burn down their communities."

For the record, Karvunidis' gender reveal method was a cake. And no one died, and no property was destroyed.

Donald Trump Jr., promoting his latest book that someone wrote for him, when asked why the Trump Administration hasn't condemned the actions of that 17-year-old Kenosha murderer:

"We're waiting for due process. We're not jumping to a conclusion. If I put myself in [I won't say his name], maybe I shouldn't have been there. He's a young kid. I don't want 17-year-olds running around the street with AR-15s. Maybe I wouldn't have put myself in that situation. Who knows? But we all do stupid things at 17. But we all have to let that process play out and let due process take its course."

And when the host remarked that murdering people was a "little beyond stupid" Junior snapped:

"Really stupid—fine." Murdering people is really stupid. Funny, I also thought it was against the law, but for Diaper Don, as long as white people are murdering the 'right' people, it's okay, buy kinda dumb.

Fuck off.

Pete Buttigieg, on Trump's comments about our fallen soldiers:

"When he was a young man, he faked a disability so he could avoid serving when it was his turn. We watched him refer to prisoners of war like John McCain as losers with our own eyes. If you are watching this at home, here's how willing Donald Trump is to insult your intelligence. Today he denied he ever called John McCain a loser. Again, if you're watching this at home, grab your phone, go on Google, you can see video of him doing it. You can see a tweet of him doing it. So, I think it's pretty easy to figure out who to believe."

Never Trump. Never ever Trump.

He doesn't understand people's bravery and courage because he's never had any of his own." ~ Senator Tammy Duckworth, Iraq War Veteran, responding to the Orange Russian Wig Stand's claim that veterans who died in service of this country are "losers."

…we'd be nuts to think that simply booting out Donald Trump and voting in Joe Biden will be sufficient to solve our country's problems. Our divisions and dysfunctions predate our current president. From the Bork nomination fight to Bush-vs.-Gore to the Merrick Garland fiasco and the repeated government shutdowns of recent years, it is obvious that Trump is as much a reflection of our existing problems as he is a creator of new ones.

But his removal is absolutely essential for any kind of progress. Because, as Biden said Monday, he "sows chaos" and is a "toxic presence" who has "forfeited moral leadership." If anything, those descriptions were understatements. Trump is an unmitigated catastrophe, and all Americans must rouse themselves from their slumbers to vote him out on Nov. 3.

Can't escape 'Handmaid's Tale' dystopia with Trump at helm
