QOTD -- Distraction And Remembrance

"It’s better for Mr. Trump to have you focused on whether an Asian-American woman is sufficiently American than to have you mourning the 130,000 Americans killed by a virus he claimed would disappear in February. It’s better for his campaign to distract Americans with whether a combat veteran is sufficiently patriotic than for people to recall that this failed commander in chief has still apparently done nothing about reports of Russia putting bounties on the heads of American troops in Afghanistan.

"Mr. Trump and his team have made the political calculation that, no matter what, they can’t let Americans remember that so many of his decisions suggest that he cares more about lining his pockets and bolstering his political prospects than he does about protecting our troops or our nation." --Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), in a New York Times op/ ed, responding to the slurs from Cadet Bone Spurs and his odious attack poodle Liddle Tucker Carlson, neither of whom have served in the military or have devoted one second to public service.  The other calculation here is that combat veteran and double- amputee Sen. Duckworth has been mentioned as a possible running mate for Joe Biden, so they consider her fair game for their "swift boating."  What miserable cowards and charlatans.
