Monday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Kanye West, Thomas McArdle, Rand Paul, and more.

Insight: “It’s hard when you’re up to your armpits in alligators to remember you came here to drain the swamp.” —Ronald Reagan

Blexit: “Own your power. Your power is not to just vote Democrat for the rest of our lives. That’s not the power.” —Kanye West

Observations: “Of all the many untruths the 42nd president uttered, the biggest may be his declaration in his 1996 State of the Union address that ‘The era of big government is over.’ … The era of Big Government, far from being over, hasn’t even really begun as far as today’s Democrats are concerned. Because it will take a state bigger and more intrusive than any ever known to flush the U.S.A. down the toilet.” —Thomas McArdle

For the record: “This ends up being a policy debate and a partisan debate. It has nothing to do with legality or illegality or impeachment. It’s purely a partisan way of trying to overturn the election.” —Sen. Rand Paul

A blind squirrel finds a nut: “A mandatory buyback is essentially confiscation, which I think is unconstitutional. It means that I am going to walk in your house and take something whether you like it or not.” —Sen. Bernie Sanders

Non compos mentis: “Say Bill Gates was actually taxed $100 billion. We could end homelessness and provide safe drinking water to everyone in this country. Bill would still be a multibillionaire. Our message: The billionaire class cannot have it all when so many have so little.” —Bernie Sanders, the blind squirrel who just lost his nut

What could possibly go wrong? “I am open to suspending deportations.” —Elizabeth Warren

And last… “Congress just passed legislation to outlaw cruelty towards animals. Great! Now will Nancy Pelosi stop blocking legislation to ban post-birth abortions, which is incredibly cruel to human beings?” —Charlie Kirk
