“I don’t think Trump cares about Israel or anything but himself.”
“Trump is the only president in the history of our country who didn’t allow a peaceful transfer of power and didn’t attend his successor’s inauguration. So how can you expect him to change?”
“I believe the vice president puts us in a much better position. You can feel the electricity in the air.”
“I knew that Trump’s goals were to pack the courts with conservative judges who will allow him to do whatever he wants to do without consequences.”
“Nobody has that bad a night.”
“Nobody’s talking about whether they want Trump or Biden, but a lot of people are really looking forward to this political silly season being over.”
“Some of those very far-right-wing Christians really are imagining women in the United States having roughly the same rights as women in Afghanistan or Iran.”
