Notable Quotes
“He got impeached twice in his first term. But now we have Sri Thanagar, who is saying that Donald Trump is violating the Constitution over his deportation without due process, among other issues. So I will say it's a PR grab. It's a nonsense move.”
— Tim Pool · opening analysis of impeachment filing
“The court said the wrongfully deported Kilmer Garcia must be allowed to return and receive due process. Trump ignored it. He ignored the Constitution. He ignored the very checks and balances that keep our democracy intact.”
— Tim Pool · reading Thanagar's statement
“Democrats want to make sure that this is the hill they fight for and die on. But that's the way they're going to play it.”
— Tim Pool · analysis of Democratic strategy
“I just found out today that my appeal has been denied, that I am impersonating myself, apparently. I've broken community guidelines, and I cannot be on Facebook.”
— Courtney Knill · discussing social media censorship
“I'm Phil Labonte. I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band, All That Remains. I'm an anti-communist and counter-revolutionary.”
— Phil Labonte · self introduction
