Monday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from David Harsanyi, Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, and more.

Re: The Left: “Democratic leaders seem to have forgotten one of the principal lessons one ought to learn in kindergarten: Threatening a temper tantrum if one does not get what one wants belies any pretense of emotional maturity or basic civil decency.” —Josh Hammer

Upright: “Democrats keep inventing imaginary new ‘norms,’ and then threatening to blow up long-standing, real-life standards of American governance if the GOP fails to surrender to them. That’s not how this works. That’s not how any of this works.” —David Harsanyi

Projection, Part I: “The president has no fidelity to fact or truth and … no fidelity to the Constitution of the United States.” —Nancy Pelosi 

Projection, Part II: “[Trump] and his henchmen are a danger … to our democracy. … Our Constitution is at the mercy of people who have no allegiance to the Constitution of the United States. They have repeatedly demonstrated that.” —Nancy Pelosi

Verbal gymnastics: “For example, the Paycheck Protection Act, you know, one percent of the money’s gone out. One percent. One percent of the, uh, the — that’s not the Paycheck, the, the, the, um, uh, the, uh, the bill for small, for major, for small businesses…” —Joe Biden

Who knew? “I got to the Senate 180 years ago.” —Joe Biden

Braying jackass: “[Trump is] sort of like [Joseph] Goebbels: You say the lie long enough, keep repeating, repeating, repeating, it becomes common knowledge.” —Joe Biden

Demo-gogue, Part I: “I will refuse to treat this process as legitimate & will not meet with Judge Amy Coney Barrett.” — Senator Richard Blumenthal (“Excellent idea! And if you & all your Dem colleagues boycott the hearing altogether, we’ll avoid the political circus & the desperate attempts to smear Judge Barrett and her family.” —Senator Ted Cruz)

Demo-gogue, Part II: “I will not participate in the degradation of our democracy or our judiciary, or in confirming a judge so clearly unfit for the Supreme Court.” —Senator Kirsten Gillibrand

Race bait: “That was the least diverse audience I’ve ever seen in an announcement like this made in my life. … I was glad her two kids did come out because I couldn’t find too many other people of color in that audience.” —Al Sharpton on Amy Coney Barrett’s Supreme Court nomination

Racism: “Some White colonizers ‘adopted’ Black children. They ‘civilized’ these ‘savage’ children in the ‘superior’ ways of White people, while using them as props in their lifelong pictures of denial, while cutting the biological parents of these children out of the picture of humanity.” —Ibram X. Kendi, “anti-racist

Alpha jackass: “We’ll be saying this name a lot I’m sure because she’s a f—ing nut. Religion — I was right about that one too. I’m sorry, but Amy [Coney] Barrett, Catholic — really Catholic. I mean really, really Catholic — like speaking in tongues. Like she doesn’t believe in condoms, which is what she has in common with Trump because he doesn’t either.” —Bill Maher

And last… “If you were aware of a legal tax loophole that could lessen your tax liability, would you forgo the savings out of principle and willingly pay more to the IRS than is required? If no, you can’t judge Trump. If yes, you’re a … lunatic and a sucker of the highest order.” —Matt Walsh
