The Patriot Post® · Tuesday Short Cuts

For the record: “The Democrats and the Left here are not interested in the truth. They’re interested in taking down Donald Trump. Which is a great point that Rudy Giuliani is making. He’s saying, ‘No, no, no, the thing that you’re calling the truth here — that’s not the truth.’” —Michael Knowles

Braying Jenny: “I’m outraged every day by something our president has done or said or left undone or neglected, or who he has recently bullied on Twitter or television.” —Chelsea Clinton

Alpha Jackass I: “He would certainly like to.” —New York Times columnist Michelle Goldberg rebutting MSNBC’s Katy Tur, who said Trump “is not rounding people up and murdering them without any due process.”

Alpha Jackass II: “I will tell you one joke… Do you know the difference between a crisis and a catastrophe? … A crisis is if Donald Trump falls into the Potomac River and can’t swim. … And a catastrophe is anybody saves his ass.” —Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-FL)

Village idiots: “I would love for Al Franken to run again. … I don’t want to diminish anyone’s legitimate claim of feeling like they’ve been assaulted, because that’s your feeling, but I think there is a very big difference of a man putting his arm around you — he’s a comedian. I’ve touched people’s breasts and genitals, I can’t imagine how many times, in photos. That doesn’t excuse it, but … that’s not a rape. That’s not sexual assault.” —Chelsea, er, Handler

And last… “We need hatred in the Church. A real, profound hatred for sin. It is easy to say we hate sin, but how many of us really hate it? How many of us hate sin like we hate cancer? Evil will proliferate if we do not make war against it with righteous hatred and anger in our hearts.” —Matt Walsh
