Monday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Ricky Gervais, Colin Kaepernick, Ilhan Omar, and more.

Insight: “History teaches that wars begin when governments believe the price of aggression is cheap.” —Ronald Reagan

Upright: “If you do win an award tonight, don’t use it as a platform to make a political speech, right? You’re in no position to lecture the public about anything. You know nothing about the real world. Most of you spent less time in school than Greta Thunberg.” —Golden Globe Awards host Ricky Gervais

Total lack of self-awareness: “In the entertainment industry many who have known/worked w/ Trump think that while his reality show was fun and ran a long time, he’s a self-serving, dishonest, morally bankrupt ego maniac who doesn’t care about anything or anyone but his Fame & bank account & is hustling the US.” —Ron Howard (Sounds like “Opie” needs another lesson from Pa.)

Grand delusions: “We are the only developed country where the idea of a shootout in a church is even conceivable. What do you suppose God thinks of that?” —Pete Buttigieg (Maybe God is as offended by this concept as He is by those who defile the natural order he created between men and women.)

For the record: “If you call the [Qasem] Soleimani strike an ‘assassination,’ you are disseminating Iranian propaganda. Soleimani was an aggressor and illegal actor who was killed in a lawful strike by the nation whose embassy he’d just attacked. That’s not an assassination, by definition.” —Matt Walsh

The BIG Lie: “The question moving forward is whether the administration has given any thought as to how to manage the fallout that comes from such a drastic action. This is the equivalent of the Iranians assassinating the U.S. secretary of defense.” —Sen. Chris Murphy

Non compos mentis: “There is nothing new about American terrorist attacks against Black and Brown people for the expansion of American imperialism.” —Colin Kaepernick on the U.S. killing Iranian terrorist leader Qasem Soleimani

Alpha jackass: “We’ll do it for half.” —"comedian" George Lopez responding to Iran’s $80 million bounty on Trump

Somebody did something? “The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes on Twitter.” —Ilhan Omar

And last… “Barack Obama routinely droned terrorists abroad — including American citizens — who presented far less of a threat to Americans and American interests than Soleimani. So spare me the hysterics about ‘assassination.’” —Ben Shapiro
