The Patriot Post® · Monday Short Cuts

Insight: “I have seen the rise and fall of Nazi tyranny, the subsequent Cold War, and the nuclear nightmare that for 50 years haunted the dreams of children everywhere. During that time my generation defeated totalitarianism. As a result, your world is poised for better tomorrows. What will you do on your journey?” —Ronald Reagan

The outcome is entirely predictable: “You don’t know. Nobody knows. This is impossible to predict.” —Bernie Sanders refusing to put a price tag on his socialist policies

Alpha jackass: “He is a dictator.” —Rep. Jerry Nadler

The BIG Lie: “CBS News reported … that a Trump confidant said that key senators were warned, ‘Vote against the president and your head will be on a pike.’” —Rep. Adam Schiff (“I thought he was doing fine … until he got to the ‘head on a pike.’ That’s where he lost me.” —Sen. Lisa Murkowski | “Not only have I never heard the ‘head on the pike’ line but also I know of no Republican senator who has been threatened in any way by anyone in the administration.” —Sen. Susan Collins)

Village idiots I: “You know we’re in the French Resistance now, right? … Nobody in the French Resistance ever said, ‘Yeah, I know there’s only nine days [until] our caucus, but … I’ve got to get the kids to soccer this week.’ No! The kids can walk to soccer this week! They can walk! Nobody in the French Resistance ever said, ‘Yes, I’d like to help you stop those Nazis coming down the road there but … we’ve got couples therapy at 4:00 today.’ No! No! You have to get along with your spouse for the next week or two. There’s no couples therapy! Just get along! Get along for the greater good of this country! You’re in the French Resistance! You’re in the Iowa resistance!” —Bernie Sanders sycophant Michael Moore

Village idiots II: “I am sick and tired of hearing … that we live in the land of the free. That this is a democracy.” —Michael Moore (Well, it’s a republic, but that’s not his point…)

And last… “House Democrats seem not to understand that Republicans feel about Adam Schiff the way they feel about Donald Trump, i.e. that he is such a disreputable character that anything he says is automatically tainted.” —Brit Hume
