Shrewd, SlipUp, Or Just Plain Stupid . . .
‘The problem with the American church today is no one wants to kill its pastors anymore. No one wants to arrest its pastors anymore. And there’s a lot of truth to that.’ Steve Deace, BlazeTV host. ‘nough said.
“It’s a very detailed indictment, and it is very, very damning. This idea of presenting Trump as a victim here, a victim of a witch hunt is ridiculous…He’s not a victim here. He was totally wrong. I do think that if even half of it is true, then he’s toast.” Bill Barr, former US Attorney General in the Trump Administration.
“You think I’m a jackass? Who the hell do you think understands criminals and non-criminals in this city better than anybody? I knew that Donald Trump was, for a New York businessman, about as clean as they get.” Rudy Giuliani. Asked and answered!
“[F]rankly I don’t think you have enough people involved in being tough. No one gets in a fight in school anymore. I think that’s a problem.” Ohio Republican Rep. Jim Jordan in recent podcast interview. OK, Gym, we all know what you are – talk your shit.
‘If Republicans don’t block voting rights, Democrats will allow “child molesters” and “illegal aliens” to vote and Republicans will be out of power for years’. Ted Cruz, Republican U.S. Senator from Texas. Same Ted Cruz who voted to force changing legal votes of Electoral College. Went so far as to incite an insurrection.
