Thursday Short Cuts

Non Compos Mentis: Conservatives “are so much more willing to lie, cheat, steal, deceive, break the law,” says Cecile Richards.

For the record: “Donald Trump just blew up the deal Obama made that served Iran’s interest and, by extension, Russia’s interests. Trump’s blow was against Russia’s geopolitical goals in the Middle East. Yet the left continues to promote the delusion that Trump is ‘soft’ on Russia.” —Gary Bauer

Without double standards, leftists wouldn’t have any: “Following the 2016 election, President Obama rightly warned the Trump transition team ‘we only have one president at a time.’ It was a reminder that there can be just one person articulating American foreign policy so world leaders will have no doubt as to the United States’ intentions. Obama’s former secretary of state, John Kerry, ignored that warning and has been behaving as if he’s still in office.” —Cal Thomas

Among the manifold reasons you’re not president… “Pulling out of the Iran nuclear deal is a big mistake. It makes America less safe and less trusted. Iran is now more dangerous. … As Secretary of State, I helped negotiate the crippling international sanctions that brought Iran to the table. It would be much harder a second time, now that our credibility is shot.” —Hillary Clinton

Well, yeah, that’s the point: “Everything President Obama has done, this president wants to undo.” —Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA)

Non Compos Mentis: “I think that one of the things that I see on the right is they are so much more willing to lie, cheat, steal, deceive, break the law — tactics that frankly we don’t use in the progressive community.” —former Planned Parenthood president and baby murderer/body parts saleswoman Cecile Richards

Hyper hypocrisy: “It’s a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answer. Do you believe the previous interrogation techniques were immoral? I’m not asking do you believe they were illegal. I’m asking do you believe they were immoral.” —Sen. Kamala Harris to Gina Haspel (Notably, Harris is concerned with a terrorist getting water up his nose, while being a rabid proponent of the legal-but-immoral practice of abortion.)

And last… “If you believe that Gina Haspel should be barred from leading the CIA because she followed protocol in the early 2000s, please name the person who worked at the CIA at that time who shouldn’t be barred.” —Ben Shapiro
