The Patriot Post® · Monday Short Cuts

Insight: “The Democrats may remember their lines, but how quickly they forget the lessons of the past. I have witnessed five major wars in my lifetime, and I know how swiftly storm clouds can gather on a peaceful horizon.” —Ronald Reagan

The BIG Lie, Part I: “Trump, we’re all hearing from seniors! They need their medicine, their groceries, they need their disability & social security checks! Why are you harming us by slowing down the mail system & destroying the #USPS! Don’t you understand how important the mail system is?” —Rep. Maxine Waters (“Hard to believe, considering Social Security stopped sending paper checks in March 2013.” —The Daily Caller’s Peter J. Hasson)

The BIG Lie, Part II: “Everyone depends on the USPS. Seniors for their Social Security, veterans for their prescriptions, small businesses trying to keep their doors open. They can’t be collateral damage for an administration more concerned with suppressing the vote than suppressing a virus.” —Barack Obama

The BIG Lie, Part III: “Voting by mail is safe and secure. And don’t take my word for it: Take it from the President, who just requested his mail-in ballot for the Florida primary on Tuesday.” —Joe Biden (“Joe thinks you can’t tell the difference between absentee voting and universal mail-in voting. Absentee voting is safe and secure. If you requested an absentee ballot, you should use it. Universal mail-in voting is vulnerable to abuse and mistakes.” —Rep. Dan Crenshaw)

Village idiot: “Trump’s calculated dismantling of USPS proves one thing clearly: He is WELL AWARE that we do not want him as our president. He’s chosen to blatantly cheat and put millions of Americans’ lives at risk in an effort to hold on to power. Donald Trump’s ineffective leadership gravely worsened the crisis that we are in and he is now taking advantage of it to subvert and destroy our right to vote and vote safely. Request a ballot early. Vote early.” —Taylor Swift

Puppet strings: “We’re going to do everything that we can to elect Biden and — after he’s elected — move this country in as progressive a way as we possibly can.” —Senator Bernie Sanders

Braying jackass: “There needs to be unrest in the streets for as long as there’s unrest in our lives.” —Rep. Ayanna Pressley

And last… “If Democrats can protest to ‘save the post office’ in person then we should all be able to safely vote in person in November.” —Charlie Kirk
