Predictions: “Their blue wave is really sputtering pretty badly. The red wave is happening.” —Donald Trump

World’s smallest violin: “The breakdown in civility and our politics occurred when a sitting President couldn’t even get a hearing on a Supreme Court nominee for 8 months. Not when someone couldn’t eat at Red Hen.” —Ben Rhodes, whose former boss, Barack Obama, lived, breathed and fomented disunity

Here we go: “I don’t think the Democrats should allow even meetings to occur for Trump’s nominee to fill this vacancy by Justice Kennedy. I think they have to fight eye for an eye for what happened in ‘16, where the Republicans led by Mitch McConnell refused to even consider or meet with Merrick Garland. I think if the Democratic leadership under [Chuck] Schumer allows this to go forward, they’re going to have a huge problem with the Democratic base.” —MSNBC’s Chris Matthews

Infighting: “Dr. Martin Luther King warned us about people like Chuck Schumer. He said it wasn’t the Ku Klux Klan and white citizen counselors who were the obstacles towards justice. It was people calling for 'civility’ and people that were telling us when to protest and at what time and how to protest.” —Women’s March co-chair and leftist activist Linda Sarsour

Self-reflection? “A lot of poison has been poured down America’s throat since that 2016 campaign started. So it’s hard to pour poison down other people’s throat and not have some of it come back up and bubble up.” —Bill Clinton (Of course, that’s not so much repenting as simply blaming Trump.)

Just shut up already: “I need to not react to the raw pain of having to relive something that happened 20 years ago, and I need to be aware that, unfortunately, there are still millions of people every day who face objectification, disrespect, discrimination and sometimes outright abuse in the workplace, on the street, and at home.” —Bill Clinton

Disgusting: “Stock up on abortions now. Roe v. Wade is gone.” —"comedian" Michael Ian Black on Kennedy’s retirement

And last… “All last week Democrats were crying with outrage over inhumane treatment of migrant children. Today they’re crying with outrage at the idea they might not be able to kill unborn children. And here I thought Democrats cared about the children!” —Liz Wheeler
