Tuesday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Frank J. Fleming, Adam Schiff, Tim Cook, Jeff Daniels, and more.

Food for thought: “Why do we let people drive a car at an earlier age than own a handgun? Cars kill more people than guns — probably partly because of letting young people drive.” —Frank J. Fleming

Say that again. Slowly. “[Republicans] do not believe that women should have the right to make the most intimate, personal, life-and-death decisions.” —Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand

Busted: “Trump has taken a series of steps to deliberately escalate tensions with Iran. … Trump must stop this dangerous game, and rein in advisors who seem hell bent on starting a war.” —Rep. Adam Schiff, who had this to say in 2015: “We should make it clear that if Iran cheats, the repercussions will be severe. … It will never be permitted to produce highly enriched uranium, and if it attempts to do so, it will be stopped with force.”

The BIG Lie: “In some important ways, my generation has failed you. We spent too much time debating, too focused on the fight and not enough on progress.” —Apple CEO Tim Cook to Tulane University graduates (Only insofar as too many parents from the previous generation raised a bunch of indoctrinated snowflakes.)

Non-starter: “As president of the United States, I wouldn’t use the [immigrant] detention system at all.” —Kirsten Gillibrand

Wait — aren’t we two years past the end of our democracy? “The big gamble is to go all the way to November 2020 … and lose. It’s the end of democracy.” —actor Jeff “Dumb and Dumber” Daniels

Non compos mentis: “When someone says that it’s too hard to do a green space that grows yucca instead of, I don’t know, cauliflower or something, what you’re doing is that you’re taking a colonial approach to environmentalism, and that is why a lot of communities of color get resistant to certain environmentalist movements, because they come with the colonial lens on them.” —Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

And last… “Carly Fiorina said something on Shapiro’s podcast that’s devastatingly true: unsolved problems win elections. So in a political environment obsessed only w/ winning rather than solving problems, for Rs this means Planned Parenthood stays funded & illegal immigration stays rampant.” —Allie Beth Stuckey
