Biden: I thought it was really important for the President of the United States to stand up and right a wrong that had been ignored for a long time.. we're not about erasing history but recognizing history, the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Trump's nominee for Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth: "The left and progressives used allegiance to state, they used patriotism as a vehicle to untether us from timeless truth, from the Bible. The cross and the bible were replaced by a flag and a pledge.”

Remember, with all this talk about removing the 14th Amendment because of birthright citizenship, it's the same amendment addressing insurrection and public office. Mighty convenient for those same insurrectionists stirring up hate.

When Trump hawked a bunch of Trump-branded merchandise ahead of Election Day, it was bizarre but understandable: He was facing a cash-crunch and wasn't sure if he'd win.

The truth about Kash Patel is just as unsettling as that stare: he is an extreme conspiracy theorist who has made a career out of lying, cheating and scamming. It's no wonder why Trump picked him, but there could not be a worse man for the job of FBI director.
