Tuesday Short Cuts
Notable quotables from Donald Trump, Selina Gomez, Gary Bauer, Erick Erickson, and more.
Emotional Incontinence
“I just want to say I’m so sorry. All my people are getting attacked. The children — they don’t understand. I’m so sorry. I wish I could do something, but I can’t. I don’t know what to do. I’ll try everything. I promise.” —actress Selena Gomez showing more empathy for illegal aliens than for their victims
Re: The Left
“If you are a member of today’s Democrat Party and still deceiving yourself about how radical it has become, ask yourself this question: Should you be troubled by the fact that criminal aliens, preying on American citizens, were hoping that Kamala Harris would win the election so the policies of Obama/Biden/Harris could continue?” —Gary Bauer
“Liberals hate seeing people living freely and enjoying life. They utterly detest it. Whether it’s media personalities, politicians, or private citizens, liberals delight in despondency. They are animated by animosity. They are motivated by misery.” —Darrell B. Harrison
“Democrats have outlined their exact priorities for us. They would rather rapists, pedophiles, child traffickers go free if it means their coffee is $1 less.” —Tim Pool
Upright
“Personally, if I had to pay more for flowers and coffee to lower the social costs of illegal alien criminals roaming my streets and menacing my neighbors, I’m okay with that.” —Erick Erickson
“America’s generosity must no longer be a weakness to exploit. Millions of illegals abused our system to falsely claim asylum. They took advantage of our fundamental decency. Now they must go home. This is our national awakening.” —Buck Sexton
Food for Thought
“One way to instantly fill millions of non-skilled labor jobs once held by illegals is to stop paying millions of American welfare recipients not to work.” —Joel Berry
“Want to stop the cartels from targeting US planes returning illegals? How about Letters of Marque? Let the private sector take care of the problem and receive a portion of what they bring back to the US. It costs the tax payer nothing, and doesn’t put American troops in a possible ‘war’. However, if the cartels do take a plane, or harm an American, I believe President Trump will use ‘the Smote’ button.” —Glenn Beck
The BIG Lie
“Trump is all about making inflation WORSE for working class Americans, not better. He’s lining the pockets of himself and the billionaire class.” —Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
Straight From the Horse’s Mouth
“I think overall it was a positive experience. I mean, he was — he was kind. He was cordial. It wasn’t … in any kind of theater.” —Democrat Senator John Fetterman on his visit to Mar-a-Lago ahead of Trump’s inauguration
Belly Laughs of the Day
“They hired, or tried to hire, 88,000 new [IRS] workers to go after you, and we’re in the process of developing a plan to either terminate all of them, or maybe we’ll move them to the border.” —Donald Trump
“With the help of everyone in this room, we’ve just won the most epic, consequential political victory in American history, according to … one of the major fake newspapers. So, in this case, it’s not fake news.” —Donald Trump
