Thursday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from James Carville, Hank Johnson, Joy Reid, Mike Johnson, Elon Musk, Jim Geraghty, Matt Walsh, and more.

Leftist Lob

“He’s done. We’ve just gotta butter this toast and slice it and eat it. He’s done… It’s over. You’re a loser dude. You’re losing everywhere and you’re gonna lose more because you my friend are a loser.” —Democrat Strategist James Carville on Donald Trump

Can’t Fix Stupid

“We are the world’s number one bully… America is indeed… the great hand of Satan… the great Satan.” —Democrat Representative Hank Johnson who first came to national attention for suggesting that the island of Guam might capsize

Friendly Fire

“I don’t understand why he escapes the smoke. … You’re telling me nine months into this administration, the podcast guys… solved the case in nine months. Merrick Garland was there for four years. What were you doing?” —Joy Reid on the J6th Pipe Bomber being caught by Dan Bongino and Kash Patel

Never Interrupt Your Enemy While They’re Making a Mistake

“I am absolutely delighted that Jasmine Crockett is running for Senate in Texas. I think it’s one of the greatest things to happen to the Republican Party in a long, long time. She is the face of the Democratic Party, she and Mamdani. Good luck with that.” —Speaker Mike Johnson

In Short

“What’s one invention that’s made us worse? Maybe short-form video. Seems to be rotting people’s brains.” —Elon Musk

Course Correction Needed

“This is not the first time Trump has rolled out the argument that the problem in the American economy is that the nation’s parents are buying their daughters too many dolls. It was a bad, dumb, Bernie-Sanders-style, tone-deaf argument back in May, and it is still one now.” —Jim Geraghty

What’s Wrong With That?

“African ‘asylum seekers’ should seek asylum in another African country. Arab asylum seekers should seek asylum in an Arab country. Asian asylum seekers should seek asylum in an Asian country. Why the hell is it our job to provide ‘asylum’ to misfits and outcasts from other continents? Let them find their asylum in a country with a similar culture. And if none of those countries will take them — well, that’s all the more reason why we shouldn’t, either.” —Matt Walsh

Does It Need to be Said?

“My silence does not mean I am complacent. My silence does not mean that somehow TPUSA & all of the hand-picked staff that loved my husband… is somehow in on it. … I want justice for my husband, for myself, for my family, more than anyone else out there.” —Erika Kirk

For the Record

“We should, by all means, breathe new life into a Monroe Doctrine that in recent decades has become a museum curiosity.” —Rich Lowry

“Enforcing this ban will require a level of digital surveillance that would make Beijing blush. To stop teenagers from scrolling, the Australian government will need to track, monitor and verify the ages and identities of millions of citizens: a dream scenario for a digital police state” —Ian Haworth
