* “It’s going to be a fight, but this is a fight that must be won. We don’t have an option. We’re going to take this back village by village … precinct by precinct.” That was Steve Bannon in a recent podcast urging his listeners to seize control of local election administration.
* “Michigan needs a new legislature. The cowards there now are too spineless to investigate election fraud.”–Donald Trump, still at it—with 2022 and 2024 in mind.
* Is there a former Trump insider without a book deal?
* Trump has denied that he tested positive for clarity and candor before his first presidential debate with Joe Biden.
* Word is former Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadows had been “cooperating” with the House panel investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection. The contemptible Meadows would have avoided being held in contempt. So much for that scenario.
* “They’ll have committees.” That was House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy promising that outrageous, far-right caricatures Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.) and Paul Gosar (Az.), who were censured by House Democrats, will return to committee work (potentially “better ones”) if the GOP takes back the House next year. Another reminder of what’s at stake in the mid-terms.
