Insight: “Truth does not become more true by virtue of the fact that the entire world agrees with it, nor less so even if the whole world disagrees with it.” —Maimonides (1135-1204)

Upright: “The problem is that many people we see as victims aren’t, and many who are victims aren’t virtuous, in the sense of being willing to assimilate to American toleration and diversity. Our natural sympathy should prompt us to find ways to help. But that need not mean inviting [refugees] here.” —Michael Barone

Non Compos Mentis: “We found a way to bail out Wall Street. And when we needed the money, we found it, including about $17 trillion worth of practically zero-interest loans, which was made available, you know, as needed. … So my point is, as responsible adults, we need to bail out a younger generation that is held hostage in this unpayable student debt.” —Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein

Obfuscation: “My emails are so boring. And I mean, I’m embarrassed about that, they’re so boring. And so we’ve already released, I don’t know, 30,000-plus, so what’s a few more?” —Hillary Clinton

Braying Jackass: “The Clinton Foundation was taking no money for the Clintons, raising money from rich people and giving it to poor people. And all of a sudden, the press has decided that [they’re] going to go after this and shut it down. And … [they] are probably going to be successful. There are going to be people that are going to die because of this.” —Clintonista extraordinaire James Carville

For the record: “Hillary Clinton has forgotten the first rule of public service. The job of an elected official is to serve the citizens of the United States. … The Democratic Party has run nearly every inner city for 50 years, 60 years, 70 years, and even more than 100 years. They have produced only poverty, failing schools, and broken homes.” —Donald Trump

And last… “The mainstream media would have lost all interest had Ryan Lochte merely lied about keeping classified documents on an unsecured server.” —Twitter satirist @hale_razor
