Poetic Justice

Verbatim

“Because he put money in, I was prepared to tolerate it. I’m not prepared to tolerate it anymore.”

— Steve Bannon, quoted by the Daily Beast, promising to get “evil” Elon Musk kicked out of Donald Trump’s inner circle.

— The New York Times

— Charlie Sykes on Substack

“To tell us we didn’t see what we all saw with our own eyes. To dismiss concerns about it as some kind of partisan obsession. To explain it away as a protest that just got out of hand. This is not what happened.”

— President Biden, writing in the Washington Post, warned Americans not to forget the violent attack that took place at the Capitol four years ago, and he accused President-elect Donald Trump and his supporters of trying “to rewrite — even erase — the history of that day.”

“You’ve got a bunch of people who are far from home, inadequately nourished, overly caffeinated, perhaps drinking alcohol, often sleep deprived, cranky, and constantly plunged into uncertainty about their schedule and travel.”

— Retiring Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-OR), quoted by The Atlantic, on the problem with Congress.
