Wednesday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Bernie Sanders, Jennifer Rubin, William Barber, Erick Erickson, and more.

Insight: “Good and evil both increase at compound interest. That is why the little decisions you and I make every day are of such infinite importance.” —C. S. Lewis (1898-1963)

The BIG lie: “If we give Trump four more years, the planet may never recover from his utter disregard for the climate crisis and scientific fact.” —Joe Biden

Race bait: “White folks are the reason we have institutional racism.” —Joe Biden

Grand delusions: “[The Chinese] have made more progress in addressing extreme poverty than any country in the history of civilization, so they’ve done a lot of things for their people.” —Sen. Bernie Sanders

Alpha jackass I: “Shortly after Trump took office, I noted that Republicans were preparing an ethnic cleansing. Now, in 2019, I stand by that statement.” —UT-Austin entomology instructor Alex Wild, who later declared, “Trump is a Nazi. At this point, you are too if you still support him.”

Alpha jackass II: “[Trump] does terrible things to people. The children who are being detained in cages are a good example. … If you think about it psychologically, this is what some of us once called soul murder. That’s what he’s doing to these children.” —retired Harvard psychiatrist Lance Dodes

With “friends” like these… “It’s not only that Trump has to lose, but that all his enablers have to lose. We have to collectively, in essence, burn down the Republican Party. We have to level them because if there are survivors — if there are people who weather this storm, they will do it again.” —Jennifer Rubin, “conservative” blogger for The Washington Post

Non compos mentis: “If someone calls it socialism, then we must compel them to acknowledge that the Bible must then promote socialism. Because Jesus offered free healthcare, and he never charged the leper a co-pay.” —Rev. William Barber (“The Bible teaches charity with one’s own time and money. Socialism teaches charity with other people’s time and money. So….not the same thing.” —Rep. Dan Crenshaw)

And last… “A woman in Washington has come forward and claimed that the woman’s husband wants a divorce because of his relationship with [Rep. Ilhan] Omar. … Omar already had fishy circumstances around a marriage and she likes to preen about the President’s behavior and morality. Given Dr. [Beth] Mynett’s allegations and Omar’s behavior, it is probably time for her to shut up and stop preening.” —Erick Erickson
