Tuesday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Jim Jordan, Ben Shapiro, Al Roker, Liz Wheeler, and more.

Insight: “To decide against your convictions is to be an unqualified and inexcusable traitor, both to yourself and to your country, let man label you as they may. If you alone of all the nation shall decide one way, and that way be the right way according to your convictions of the right, you have done your duty by yourself and by your country — hold up your head! You have nothing to be ashamed of.” —Mark Twain (1835-1910)

Good question: “Democrats cherry pick which transcripts they release and when. Why not release Ambassador Volker’s testimony? He was the very first witness to testify!” —Rep. Jim Jordan

Political futures: “Beto’s rise and fall is clear evidence that the Democratic primaries are at least 2/3 a media primary. Beto was created by the same media that tore him down in favor of their new creation, Elizabeth Warren. Should she lose their favor, she’s toast too.” —Ben Shapiro

Braying jenny: “Barack’s presidential library could have been anywhere in the world because there are so many people who feel like he is their president all over the world.” —Michelle Obama

Braying jackass: “The president played host to the World Series champion Washington Nationals. It was a little bit confusing. He was under the impression he was hosting white nationalists, not the Nationals.” —Jimmy Kimmel

Grand delusions: “Because we are getting rid of the profiteering and the corruption in the healthcare industry, the drug companies and the insurance companies will be able to provide all of that to people at a fraction of the cost they are paying right now. I’m not here to tell you it’s gonna be free — you’re gonna have to pay something — but it’s gonna be a heck of a lot less than what you currently pay.” —Sen. Bernie Sanders

The BIG Lie: “You might make the argument, ‘Yes, there could be better forest fire management,’ but I think they’re doing a fairly good job. But these fires were in a sense almost urban fires that were happening because of climate change. Since 1970 we’ve seen the average wildfire season in the west extend by over 100 days. On average, we’re seeing six times the acreage burned every year since 1970.” —Al Roker

And last… “You know you’re a liberal when you’re more outraged by Sean Spicer on DWTS & Kurt Suzuki wearing a MAGA hat… than by the 1M babies aborted in the U.S. every year.” —Liz Wheeler
