Non Compos Mentis

“It seems like unless you have a sexual misconduct allegation, you can’t be in the cabinet.” —"The View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg

“Elon Musk is the actual vice president. … JD Vance — you know, he’s kind of an interim.” —Whoopi Goldberg

“I literally just got out of meetings with members of Congress & used the bathroom on my way out. Trans women are women — full stop. We’re every bit as ‘biologically female’ as cis women & [Mike Johnson’s] statement doesn’t change the fact that women’s spaces include trans women.” —Montana State Rep. Zooey Zephyr

“They’re not doing this to protect people. They’re endangering women. They’re endangering girls of all kinds.” —Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez regarding sex-exclusive bathrooms

Non Sequitur

“We support gay marriage, and voted for the Respect for Marriage Act twice. However, if you think protecting women is discrimination, you are the problem. We don’t care if you’re trans, if you have balls we don’t want you in the women’s bathroom.” —Congresswoman Nancy Mace (“And this is where Mace demonstrates her limited understanding of the issue & how we got here. America decided men could become women because they first decided husbands could become wives. Men and women became interchangeable because husbands and wives became interchangeable. ‘Trans women are women’ only makes sense to people who first believed ‘love is love.’” —Allie Beth Stuckey)

For the Record

“The preamble of the United States Constitution uses the active verb ‘provide’ when it comes to the common defense. The more passive word ‘promote’ is used when it comes to our general welfare. However, successive governing regimes (and this is bipartisan) have deemed it more important to ‘provide’ for general welfare, and the result has been an exploding leviathan called the federal government.” —Allen West

“If vetting is important when it comes to people crossing our border — and it is — it is equally important when it comes to those who would have power and authority over us in some of our most important cabinet positions. … Yes, Washington is ripe for change and the bureaucracy needs to be shaken up, but it must be done the right way, for the right reasons and with the right people.” —Cal Thomas

And Last…

“I find it hard to believe Matt Gaetz dropped out because he’s worried about taking up too much attention…” —Ian Haworth

“Many of the troubles in public life over the past 30 years could have been avoided if these overage, overstimulated, undisciplined boys would just have kept their [genitals] in their pants.” —John Podhoretz

“For a misogynist Trump sure does pick a lot of strong women to serve in his cabinet.” —Kevin Sorbo
