Friday Short Cuts

Alpha Jackass: “[Trump’s] right to be paranoid. I mean, just as Stalin had a right to be paranoid and was paranoid.” —Neal Katyal

Upright: “If Nike is ashamed of America, we are ashamed of them. We also believe that those who know what sacrifice is all about are more likely to be wearing a military uniform than an athletic uniform.” —College of the Ozarks President Jerry C. Davis, whose school is dispensing with Nike-branded sport uniforms

Braying Jenny: “If senior administration officials think the president of the United States is not able to do his job, then they should invoke the 25th Amendment. The Constitution provides for a procedure whenever the vice president and senior officials think the president can’t do his job. It does not provide that senior officials go around the president — take documents off his desk, write anonymous op-eds. … Every one of these officials have sworn to uphold the Constitution of the United States. It’s time for them to do their job.” —Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA)

Braying Jackass I: “It’s one thing that the guy [Fred Guttenberg] can’t get Congress to do the right thing and even pass reasonable background checks. Here, he can’t even get a judge to shake his hand. … Brett Kavanaugh can’t shake the guy’s hand, and then 20 minutes later, he sends his security detail out to harass him. Yeah, please, please, get on — get on your blog this morning and defend that lack of humanity because you’re pro-life. Please, come at me. Attack me with your stupid words because you’re pro-life.” —"Morning Joe" cohost Joe Scarborough peddling a Democrat-created setup

Braying Jackass II: “We don’t have a president. We have a president who is there, but he is not capable of doing the job or living up to the responsibilities.” —John Kerry

Alpha Jackass: “[Trump’s] right to be paranoid. I mean, just as Stalin had a right to be paranoid and was paranoid.” —MSNBC’s Neal Katyal

And last… “The notion that the bureaucratic class in Washington should dictate which policies presidents are allowed to advocate simply by ignoring their wishes sounds a lot more like a soft coup than a constitutionally principled resistance.” —David Harsanyi
