The Patriot Post® · Wednesday Short Cuts

For the record: “If men in MAGA hats were burning down buildings, looting stores and engaging in mob violence against strangers, Democrats who are currently shrugging their shoulders about riots would be calling for the national guard to start firing live rounds into crowds.” —Buck Sexton

Non compos mentis: “Joe Biden should not concede under any circumstances because I think this is going to drag out and eventually I do believe he will win if we don’t give an inch and if we are as focused and relentless as the other side is.” —Hillary Clinton, who’s supposedly afraid of Trump undermining democracy

Party of immigration: “Oh, God. She still can’t speak English.” —actress Bette Midler on Melania Trump’s RNC speech

Theater of the absurd: “I’m watching tonight because it’s important. But i [sic] don’t have to watch this snot nose entitled kid from Kentucky.” —CNN’s Joe Lockhart, who apparently didn’t learn anything from his network’s defamation settlement with Nick Sandmann

Missing the forest for the trees: “The rioting has to stop. … It’s showing up in the polling. It’s showing up in focus groups.” —CNN’s Don Lemon

Demo-gogues: “If Trump-style justice becomes our tradition, nobody is safe. If lying is rewarded, if the Justice Department starts deciding who to prosecute based on politics, all Americans are at risk.” —James Comey in a laughably hypocritical WaPo op-ed. (Of course, it was Comey-style justice targeting Trump, which was based on politics.)

Braying jackass: “Mike Pompeo has been an overtly religious secretary of state, which in itself is problematic, because, again, he’s supposed to represent all of America, all of our religions, all of our threads.” —Susan Rice

Alpha jackass: “I am so sick of hearing pundints laud the RNCC production look and feel. Stalin also put on a pretty show, didn’t make the message any better.” —Obama campaign manager Jim Messina

And last…

In two nights, Trump got the MSM to attack:
- The Punjabi name of a conservative woman of color
- Black Senator whose grandfather picked cotton in the South
- Naturalization ceremony of 5 immigrants of color
- Bank robber who turned his life to Christ
- Teenager who was bullied
