Monday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Joe Biden, The Washington Post, Larry Elder, JD Vance, Andrew Klavan, and more.

The BIG Lies

“There are no election deniers on our side of the aisle.” —House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries (“The more we learn about 2016 election the more ILLEGITIMATE it becomes. America deserves to know whether we have a FAKE President in the Oval Office.” —Hakeem Jeffries, February 2018)

“The simple fact is: This country has suffered more deadly terrorism at the hands of American-born citizens who are veterans of the United States military than people who have crossed into this country at the southern border. It is very clear from the evidence that if you want to worry about terrorism in this country, the United States Army is a much bigger problem than the southern border.” —MSNBC’s Lawrence O'Donnell

Cleanup on Aisle 46

“The Sugar Bowl is back on. Kickoff is going to take off very shortly. If I don’t get this damned thing done we’re going to be in real trouble.” —Joe Biden joking about getting his NOLA terrorism update done

Gaslighting

“We did a lot of good things but … we really didn’t show [enough] empathy and concern … to average working families who didn’t realize how much we had done and how much we care for them.” —Senate Democrat Leader Chuck Schumer

Delusions of Grandeur

“[Joe Biden’s] a patriot. He’s a great guy. And when he stepped down, he did it on his own. … We should all salute him.” —Chuck Schumer

World’s Smallest Violin

“It’s not worth defending [Joe Biden] though because at every turn the last year-and-a-half, he has taken the path of the most indulgent turn for himself rather than the good of the Party.” —Politico’s Jonathan Martin

Belly Laugh of the Day

“Biden and some of his aides still believe he should have stayed in the race, despite the rocky debate performance and low poll numbers that prompted Democrats to pressure him to drop out. Biden and these aides have told people in recent days that he could have defeated Trump.” —The Washington Post

Braying Jenny

“Women are known to be more, shall we say, ethical than men.” —Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi

Inquiring Minds Want to Know

“About the New Orleans terrorist pledging allegiance to ISIS, where’s concern about all these college students pledging allegiance to Hamas?” —Larry Elder

For the Record

“It’s beyond ironic that the communists are getting rich by exploiting the supposed capitalists’ dedication to communist utopian vision, but Xi [Jinping] and Co. are laughing all the way to the bank.” —Nate Jackson

Tongue-in-Cheek

“Looking forward to Biden giving the Presidential Medal of Freedom (posthumously) to Pol Pot and Count Dracula.” —JD Vance

Touché

“In politics, I predict that Donald Trump will take office January 20th, and day one he will reduce corruption in government 80% by not being Joe Biden.” —Andrew Klavan

And Last…

“We have a lot of artificial intelligence in government, as well, but it’s a different kind.” —Canadian opposition leader Pierre Poilievre
