MAGA is petrified. They've spent 3 1/2 years telling you #Biden can't put his pants on by himself and can't maintain a thought, but now that we are a week from the debate, they know #Trump is the one who truly is having cognitive problems. Plus they know Biden is old but is not as decrepit as they've described him. What's the new lie? Biden is taking drugs, he's doping. It's so ridiculous and desperate. #MAGA is pathetic — Barry Markson #quotes#quote#Lies
Especially in the early stages, a person living with #Alzheimers disease or another form of #dementia may not need your #caregiving, but they will need your support. Rather than treating them as dependent, empower them to get the most from their own abilities.
My name is Denver Riggleman, former Rep and senior technical advisor to the J6 committee. Anyone who states the J6 investigation was a sham is a conspiracy theorist, stupid, a liar or a spineless sycophant— maybe all of the above. J6 was an investigation into the sacking of the Capitol and efforts by #Trump and those around him to overturn an election through coordinated disinformation, legal maneuvering, financial flows, #radicalization and #violence — Denver Riggleman #quotes#quote#Jan6th#Insurrection#Criminal
BREAKING: Fox News poll shows Biden leading Trump for first time since October. Most major polls already showed major shift toward Biden — led by independents and conservatives moving away from Trump after his conviction on 34 felonies. America is finally getting tired of Trump — Tristan Snell #quotes#quote#Biden#ConvictedFelonTrump
The bottom line here is that Trump and his movement, they are not running against democrats, they're running against democracy, they're running against the democratic process. They want to radically change the kind of system that we have, the government that we have and we're going to be the ones who decide if the American system of government survives or if it's taken over instead by an authoritarian — Rachel Maddow #quotes#quote#Trump#Trumpism #Project2025
For some reason, an ex-President (guess which) is using social media to demand that the Supreme Court offer Presidents immunity from prosecution — Michael Beschloss #quotes#quote#Felon#Crook#ConvictedCriminal#Trump
Good #caregiving focuses on what people living with #Alzheimers disease or other forms of #dementia can do (rather than what they cannot). Offer encouragement, build confidence, share love.
"I’m not anti-Semitic at all, but I am anti-Zionist. I don’t believe they have the right, after 3,000 years, to reclaim the land with western bombs and guns on biblical injunction."

I keep reading that younger voters are frustrated that no candidate truly represents their views. Well, welcome to democracy. You will never have a candidate that is a carbon copy of your views. Look for one whose policies, views, and character most align with yours. And here's one pro tip: look for a candidate who will actually continue to have elections — Richard Stengel #quotes#quote#VoterWisdom#Election2024#Voters#VoteDemocat
It’s been SIX months since Jack Smith asked the Supreme Court for an expedited ruling on immunity so we could get to a trial on the January 6th case. But hey, no rush. The Justices have been busy revising incomplete ethics forms, flying weird flags, and laboring over patent law — Bill Kristol #quotes#quote#immunity#SCOTUS#TrumpCrimes#TrumpProsecution
After how Senators #McConnell and #Graham and other GOP’s denounced President Trump in the wake of January 6th, to see them all, especially Lindsey, kissing the former president’s ass today reminded me why I hate politics — Geraldo Rivera #quotes#quote#Republicans#GOP#ConvictedFelonTrump#Trump
Humanity can not be made equal by declarations on paper. Unless the material conditions for equality exist, it is worse than mockery to pronounce men equal.

Senile seems like the wrong term. It’s age-related. Trump isn’t just losing it normally as he ages. He’s way beyond that. He’s downright demented, disassociated, disoriented, and deeply disconnected from reality — Laurence Tribe #quotes#quote#NotWell#Confused#Muddled#Disoriented
When I see a bird that walks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, I call that bird a duck. A bump-stock-equipped semiautomatic rifle fires ‘automatically more than one shot, without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger.’ Because I, like Congress, call that a machine gun, I respectfully dissent — Justice Sonia Sotomayor #quotes#quote#MachineGun#GunViolence#Guns#Thomas#MassShootings#LasVegas#BumpStock
I can’t mince words when it comes to talking about who Donald #Trump is. It’s important, I think, for people to really refocus on the idea that: Do they really want a president who is a felon who faces jail time? Donald Trump was convicted of 34 counts by a jury of his peers after being held liable for rape, and the discussion at the water cooler is whether that should be an issue in the presidential race. We’re already in the pot, folks. Republicans have been increasing the temperature for eight years. We better hop out soon or it’s going to boil us all to death — Gov JB Pritzker #quotes#quote#ConvictedFelonTrump#AdjudicatedRapist#TwiceImpeached#Unfit#NotWell#Confused#Muddled#Disoriented#CrazyCandidate#Republican#GOP
Joke yesterday by a retired American diplomat: "Of course Russian ships want to go to the Caribbean, it's a lot safer for them there than the Black Sea." — David Frum #quotes#quote#Truth#Humor#RussianNavy
@rbreich When I saw the headline this morning, I thought “good” — but it also made me think of this #quote …
“When one has been threatened with a great injustice,
one accepts a smaller as a favour.”
