The Gipper: “The years ahead will be great ones for our country, for the cause of freedom and the spread of civilization. The West will not contain Communism; it will transcend Communism. We will not bother to denounce it; we’ll dismiss it as a sad, bizarre chapter in human history whose last pages are even now being written.”

Alpha Jackass: “[Trump] really is an incredibly skillful and talented communicator. He really is, which Hitler was, too. I think the reason people push back against the Hitler comparison, regardless of any similarities, is Hitler ended up killing millions and millions of people. And Mr. Trump has shown a disregard for our law — he breaks the law. … But he hasn’t killed millions of people. … Look, that’s why we want to impeach him! We’d like to end it here while it’s still OK. I think that’s why people push back so hard, because that is a very big difference. We haven’t gotten to that point. God bless us, let’s hope we never get anywhere near that point.” —Tom Steyer

Dezinformatsiya: “In terms of Iran and attacking Iran or Iranian troops and units in Syria, I think, yes, absolutely. I think that [Benjamin] Netanyahu feels that he’s gotten the green light — almost a license to kill — from Trump.” —The Daily Beast’s Christopher Dickey

Non Compos Mentis: “Happy #MothersDay! Planned Parenthood is proud to celebrate mothers in the U.S. and around the world. We’re committed to fighting for a world where all mothers can live healthy lives, and raise their children in peace.” —Planned Parenthood

And last… “I asked my 4-year-old daughter [on Mother’s Day] whether she thought it would be more fun to have a job or be a mommy. She said, ‘To be a mommy, so I can cuddle my babies.’ Clearly, she has already been victimized by the patriarchy.” —Ben Shapiro
