RACE BAIT

“Why the Case Against Fani Willis Feels Familiar to Black Women.” – The New York Times

“This campaign this year will be the most consequential election since 1876. … That election ushered in Jim Crow.” – Congressman Jim Clyburn (D-SC)

 

CAN’T FIX STUPID

“Would I have preferred that correctness had prevailed? Of course so. The fact that it did not does not slow me down in doing the work that I’m tasked to do by the president of the United States.” – DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas regarding impeachment

 

POLITICAL FUTURES

“Though certain Republican-leaning pundits as well as Democrats think Trump ought to be a weak, even hopeless nominee for the GOP, he polls better against Biden than he ever did against Hillary Clinton – and, of course, he beat her. It’s easy to say that isn’t so much a sign of Trump’s strength as it is of Biden’s shakiness. Yet what does it tell us that no other, younger leader in either party has been able to challenge them?” – Daniel McCarthy

 

 

FOR THE RECORD

“The Constitution doesn’t give the president power to forgive student loans, mandate vaccines or electric cars, change contracts between landlords and tenants, or a host of other things that Biden and other modern presidents do with their phones and pens. It does task the president to ‘take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.’ Yet Biden and Mayorkas have, as a matter of policy, refused to do that with immigration laws.” – Nate Jackson
