Tuesday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Bill Maher, Sean Davis, Erick Erickson, Jeff Jacoby, and more.

Can’t Fix Stupid

“So the Trump administration, they are saying that essentially these white South Africans assimilate better and they’re also not as much of a security risk. That’s really causing a lot of people to be appalled, frankly.” —NBC News’s Yamiche Alcindor baffled by the obvious yet again

The BIG Lie

“[Leftists] are as crazy in their own way; they’re just not as dangerous. The Left is just not as dangerous.” —Bill Maher

A Broken Clock Is Right Twice a Day

“If the leaders in the Democratic Party keep encouraging and not rebuking the idea that America is cringe, and the people who run Gaza are great, [then] the Democrats are doomed.” —Bill Maher

“[Democrats] have created a culture where if you say the wrong thing you’re excommunicated.” —DNC Vice Chair David Hogg

Harsh Truth

“We used to have asylums for dangerous lunatics who aren’t capable of being productive members of society. Then the liberals started complaining so we shut down the asylums and now all the lunatics are camped out in the street…” —Matt Walsh

Reality Check

“It seems problematic that America’s pre-eminent aircraft manufacturer can’t manufacturer airplanes.” —Sean Davis

For the Record

“The Chinese propaganda machine had the US media convinced they were ready and willing to outlast Trump’s tariffs. Turns out, their economy has serious problems and Scott Bessent used it to our advantage.” —Erick Erickson

“Abundance and choice are more than just economic outcomes in the United States; they are cultural touchstones — symbols of the freedom that sets America apart. Downplaying the value of plenty is no vision for the future.” —Jeff Jacoby

Re: The Left

“At the end of the day, Biden is left the unpalatable choice of either blaming himself — his own poor governance and lack of self-awareness — for the Democratic defeat in 2024 or blaming the inadequacies of his replacement, which is awkward since he picked her as his VP.” —Rich Lowry

“When you tell a man who is physically larger and stronger that he can’t play in women’s sports, that has zero resemblance to racial discrimination. That’s recognition of reality.” —Gary Bauer
