Thursday Short Cuts

“Beto’s excuse for writing sick stories about killing children: he was just a dumb 16-year-old who didn’t know any better. But hey, let’s lower the voting age to 16!” —Mike Huckabee

For the record: “Let it come out. Let people see it. That’s up to the attorney general. We have a very good attorney general. He’s a highly respected man. And we’ll see what happens. … But I want to see the [Mueller] report. And you know who I want to see it? The tens of millions of people that love the fact that we have the greatest economy we’ve ever had.” —Donald Trump

Observations: “The left refers to the skeptics of ‘climate change’ alarmism as ‘anti-science.’ But when it comes to left-wing passions like the $15 minimum wage, a ‘universal basic income’ and the ‘wealth tax,’ it is the left that ignores evidence.” —Larry Elder

Upright: “The Electoral College is the last remnant of the Founders’ vision for a state-governed republic, rather than an all-powerful central gov’t. The 17th Amendment eliminated state authority in Congress. Killing the EC will officially eliminate state authority over the presidency.” —Sean Davis

Flashback: “President Roosevelt clearly had the right to send to the United States Senate and the United States Congress a proposal to pack the Court. … But it was a bonehead idea. It was a terrible, terrible mistake to make, and it put in question, for an entire decade, the independence of … the most significant body in this country, the Supreme Court of the United States of America.” —Joe Biden, 1983

For the umpteenth time: The Second Amendment has nothing to do with hunting: “Nobody needs an AR-15 to hunt. Nobody needs a semi-automatic rifle to defend their home. But mass shooters NEED these weapons in order to murder as many people as efficiently as possible. And so nobody will miss them when they are illegal — except for the killers.” —Sen. Chris Murphy

Non Compos Mentis: “If you are in this country now, you must have the right to pay into Social Security, to pay your taxes, to pay into the local school system, and to have a pathway to citizenship.” —Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand

And last… “Beto’s excuse for writing sick stories about killing children: he was just a dumb 16-year-old who didn’t know any better. But hey, let’s lower the voting age to 16!” —Mike Huckabee
