Grifters Gotta Grift
“Trump has not given a dime to his reelection campaign, opting to fund it with donors’ money. His business, meanwhile, has charged the campaign for food, lodging and rent, resulting in $2.2m of donor contributions turning into $2.2m revenue for Trump.”

Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson being used as a dupe by Putin. Not only is he dumb, he's dangerous.
Sen. Johnson, either inadvertently or on purpose, has apparently been taking disinformation created by a foreign intelligence service in order to mess with our election and he has been using it in his committee as if it's a real thing.

Meet Louis DeJoy, the postmaster general. Dejoy donated $1.2 million to Trump Victory and millions more to Republicans. Dejoy owned up to $75 million in USPS competitors/contractors. DeJoy is slowing down the mail, right before we need mail in voting.

Quotes Of The Day
“Attention, friends in outlying areas and other states: I live walking distance to downtown Portland. Except for a very small number of troublemakers (were they hired to make trouble so Trump could send in his secret police?) there are huge crowds of peaceful protesters who are being pepper sprayed, tear gassed, and roughed up by police and those mysterious unmarked federal militia tonight. They are INCITING the violence. They are abducting and harassing peaceful protesters without identifying themselves or saying what the person has done to warrant arrest. Unlike what Fox News says, this is happening in a very small few blocks of the downtown area, near the federal building, NOT throughout the city. (Red circle on the map is the location of th trouble. Black circle is where we live.) According to friends who were there, tonight was bad. If the police and feds would back off and not attack peaceful protesters, and instead focus on the (perhaps hired) destroyers of property instead, the problem would go away. Please contact your representatives and tell them this federal private army needs to get the hell out of our city. We know we're being targeted by Trump to make his right wing cult members happy. But the governor and the mayor and our politicians in Washington want the feds out NOW. And so do we.”-Margie Boule
“Donald Trump has been the worst president this country has ever had. And, I don't say that hyperbolically. He is. But he is a consequential president. And, he has brought this country in three short years to a place of weakness that is simply unimaginable if you were pondering where we are today from the day where Barack Obama left office. And, there were a lot of us on that day who were deeply skeptical and very worried about what a Trump presidency would be. But this is a moment of unparalleled national humiliation, of weakness.”
“When you listen to the President, these are the musings of an imbecile. An idiot. And I don't use those words to name call. I use them because they are the precise words of the English language to describe his behavior. His comportment. His actions. We've never seen a level of incompetence, a level of ineptitude so staggering on a daily basis by anybody in the history of the country whose ever been charged with substantial responsibilities.”
“It's just astonishing that this man is president of the United States. The man, the con man, from New York City. Many bankruptcies, failed businesses, a reality show, that branded him as something that he never was. A successful businessman. Well, he's the President of the United States now, and the man who said he would make the country great again. And he's brought death, suffering, and economic collapse on truly an epic scale.”
“And, let's be clear. This isn't happening in every country around the world. This place. Our place. Our home. Our country. The United States. We are the epicenter. We are the place where you're the most likely to die from this disease. We're the ones with the most shattered economy. And we are, because of the fool that sits in the Oval Office behind the Resolute Desk.”-Steve Schmidt (Republican campaign strategist)
“It's getting easier to argue that DHS never did what it was supposed to, got too big, and now needs to go. I will continue to argue in favor of civil defense/preparedness as opposed to this LARPing monstrosity.”-Molly McKew

“Fascism is on the march in America and even the New York Times is noticing.
The Border War in Portland”-Thom Hartman

“Americans should be able to express their political views, consistent with the First Amendment, without fear of federal government reprisal akin to kidnappings that you might see in banana republics. With the addition of federal law enforcement’s actions against legal observers and reporters, we have the makings of a true constitutional crisis.”-American Constitution Society
