Wednesday Short Cuts

Braying Jackass: “It’s time for Mattis to give [Trump] the wrong [nuclear] codes.” —Al Franken

Upright: “The president whose reign included an attorney general who was held in contempt of Congress, an administration that refused to enforce federal law, and misled Congress and the American public with meaningless executive orders wants to lecture evangelicals on lawfulness? That’s like Judas lecturing Matthew on proper accounting principles.” —Tony Perkins

It’ll never happen: “If [Jim] Carrey and company are so devoted and so enthralled to the greatness and grandeur of socialism, why don’t they model it for us? Carrey’s yearly profits could be redistributed to provide … every other struggling actor in Hollywood far more than a living wage.” —Peter Heck

Alpha Jackass: “The gravest threat Trump poses to our national security is the damage done daily to America’s image. … Osama bin Laden was killed by SEAL Team 6 before he accomplished that goal. Other tyrants who tried to do the same were consigned to the ash heap of history. The question for voters this fall is whether their country will move beyond this troubled chapter in history or whether they will continue supporting a politician who has done more damage to the dream of America than any foreign adversary ever could.” —Joe Scarborough

Braying Jackass: “How dangerous is Trump? It’s not the time for [Defense Secretary James] Mattis to tell Trump that he’s taking the nuclear codes away from him. It’s time for Mattis to give him the wrong codes.” —ex-Sen. Al Franken

Misdirected blame: “Chicago has lost far too many aspiring young people to senseless gun violence. When will Republicans in Congress finally decide to act?” —Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL)

And last… “The most impressive feat the Left has accomplished is convincing millions of people that decapitating a child inside the womb is worthy of celebration. That alone should teach us to never underestimate the power of a lie and the willingness of ignorant people to believe it.” —Allie Beth Stuckey
