Biden in Pittsburgh - What was your favorite quote?

I'm being lazy and not looking at it again to write down my favorites. There were so many. I loved every word. I feel like he punched Trump right in the balls, and I hope it hurt like hell.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I went to a few news sites. Here are my favorites.



“This president long ago forfeited any moral leadership in this country. He can’t stop the violence — because for years he has fomented it,”


Trump “is too weak, too scared of the hatred he has stirred to put an end to it.”


"I want to be very clear about all of this: Rioting is not protesting. Looting is not protesting. Setting fires is not protesting. None of this is protesting. It's lawlessness, plain and simple. And those who do it should be prosecuted," Biden said. "Violence will not bring change, it will only bring destruction. It's wrong in every way."


"Donald Trump has been a toxic presence in our nation for four years," Biden said. "Will we rid ourselves of this toxin? Or will we make it a permanent part of our nation's character?"


“‘You won’t be safe in Joe Biden’s America.’ And what’s their proof?” Biden asked. “The violence we’re seeing in Donald Trump’s America. These are not images of some imagined Joe Biden America in the future. These are images of Donald Trump’s America today.”


“He may believe mouthing the words law and order makes him strong, but his failure to call on his own supporters to stop acting as an armed militia in this country shows you how weak he is,”


He doesn’t want to shed light, he wants to generate heat, and he’s stoking violence in our cities.



“I want a safe America – safe from COVID, safe from crime and looting, safe from racially motivated violence, safe from bad cops.

The fact he speaks in complete sentences is all I need. Nevilledog Aug 2020 #4
Low bar, but I will gladly take it. n/t Laelth Aug 2020 #5
The fact I like what the sentences contain is also important. I was perhaps too glib. Nevilledog Aug 2020 #6
No. I am with you. I like the content as well. Laelth Aug 2020 #8

Oh, he didn’t say that today? My bad. I wake up every morning with that music in my ears, and I believe it. I have to. How else could I get out of bed?

It’s just sad that our ultimate bar is so low right now, and it is.
