Wednesday Short Cuts

What a novel idea! “I should get in the backseat and close my mouth for a while.” —Matt Damon

Insight: “Those who lack the capacity to achieve much in an atmosphere of freedom will clamor for power.” —Eric Hoffer (1902-1983)

From the “Limo Left-Elite” Files: “No educated person wants to live in a s—thole with stupid people [who are] violent, racist, and/or misogynistic. We would like to live a more rural lifestyle but won’t sacrifice tolerance or diversity to do so [especially in] states where the majority of residents are voting for things against their own interests [because] they don’t want brown people to thrive.” —Melinda Byerley, Silicon Valley Tech Exec, on Middle America “deplorables”

What a novel idea! “I should get in the backseat and close my mouth for a while.” —Matt Damon

Hollywood is still protecting its own: “Woody Allen was investigated forensically by two states (NY and CT) and no charges were filed. The renunciation of him and his work, no doubt, has some purpose. But it’s unfair and sad to me.” —Alec Baldwin

About that border wall… “I don’t f—ing regret that s—. Only thing that I f—ing regret is that I f—ing just killed two. I wish I killed more of those motherf—ers. … I will break out soon, and I will kill more. Whoever f—ing get in front of me, just like that. There’s no need for a f—ing trial.” —illegal immigrant Luis Bracamontes, who killed two California law enforcement officers in 2014

Alpha Jackass: “Wishing you a #metoo moment. Maybe then you won’t be so insensitive.” —Georgetown University adviser Jeff Bernstein to Allie Stuckey, a conservative pundit

And last… “Gonna be incredible when some Democrat screams ‘YOU LIE’ at Trump during the State of the Union and the entire media cheer wildly.” —Ben Shapiro
