VP JD JD,

Despite your record as a top-ranked flip-flopper, there are several examples of you seeming cogent,
S2 #2,366 not included.

I sincerely hope you regard the outcome of next Tuesday's election with abject MAGA horror,
for the benefit of humanity.

Otherwise, have a nice day, number two. :)

Trump declared that he would end Russia's War on Ukraine between his re-election, and his re-inauguration.

Wonder which re-inauguration Trump has in mind.
If not the most recent, and if not the one after that, perhaps the one after that, if lucky enough the carnage there continues until then.
Right?
 
Trump election-night posts:

"Watching the Pre-Election Results on Fox News, but I can't stand Jessica Tarlov's voice -- DUMB AS A ROCK, but it's the voice that gets me. Have to go somewhere else until that LOSER is off the air -- I'll be back later..."

"The Fox News Poll, always the worst, is so insulting with the questions they ask. Every question is a hit job, and every answer is 'BULLSHIT.'..."

"I wasn't on the ballot and if I was, we would have won IN A LANDSLIDE! Thank you for your attention to this matter."

"We're going to win, and we're going to win big, and we're gonna shove it up their ass." ~ Trump, a month ago

There are several false quotations that have stalked the Internet since the previous millennium. They include:

"Fire arms stand next to the Constitution itself. They are the American peoples liberty teeth, & keystone under independence." sometimes attributed to George Washington, but this source says no: http://www.republicaffair.com/fake-george-washington-quotes-liberty-teeth.html

"Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy” is misattributed to Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790). Franklin did write this, in a 1779 letter to André Morellet:
“Behold the rain which descends from heaven upon our vineyards; there it enters the roots of the vines, to be changed into wine; a constant proof that God loves us, and loves to see us happy.” Franklin loved wine more than he loved beer.

The following has been falsely attributed to Einstein:
Oct 29, 2019 ... Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome...is the definition of insanity... Natalie Murphey Bowden and 9 others.

I can authenticate the following, I heard it in her own voice on broadcast radio: "Ideas are not for believing. Ideas are for using." psychologist Joy Browne

Not much sense in getting worked up about authorship / attribute.
If the only reason you can find to value an assertion is the person it's attributed to, is it really all that important? 2+2=4. It doesn't matter who says it.

"Believe nothing,
No matter where you read it,
Or who has said it,
Not even if I have said it,
Unless it agrees with your own reason
And your own common sense." Buddha

Atta boy, enlightened one.
 
"We have more oil coming out of the Hormuz Strait now than we did prior to this war. But you can't really call it a war. A war is like Russia-Ukraine -- they lose 25,000 people a month. We haven't lost one person in six months. It's not a war. It's a minor military operation." ~ Trump
