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?

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.

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
