Thursday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Margaret Thatcher, Keisha Lance Bottoms, Pete Buttigieg, and more.

Insight

“You never compromise with violence. You never compromise with intimidation. You never compromise with those who want to use it to extinguish freedom and democracy, because if you do then the very things for which you stand are extinguished.” —Margaret Thatcher (1925-2013)

“It makes absolutely no sense to try to stop a problem that is created solely by pre-marital and extra-marital sex by encouraging pre-marital and extra-marital sex. But that’s what we’ve been doing, all while calling it ‘safe.’” —Peter Heck

Non Compos Mentis

“Jackie, are you here? Where’s Jackie? She must not be here.” —President Joe Biden (“Rep. Jackie Walorski (R-IN) died in a car accident in August.” —Charlie Spiering)

“The United States shares a very important relationship, which is an alliance with the Republic of North Korea.” —Vice President Kamala Harris

Double Standards

“You can’t just bus migrants into cities and they are not prepared to receive them.” —Biden advisor Keisha Lance Bottoms (“Isn’t that exactly what Biden has been doing for 18 months?” —RNC)

Race Bait

“Right now, the biggest fuel behind the Republican agenda is related to immigration and the fear that somehow America’s character is going to be changed if, people of darker shades, there are too many of them here.” —Barack Obama

Braying Jennies

“Many of us talked about the weakness of the supply chain even before the pandemic. It was almost predictable.” —Kamala Harris (“So why has their response been a total failure?” —RNC)

“It’s a bit ironic now that you might have Floridians having to pour over the borders and go north and get out of the state of Florida… And be careful about attacking people who have to move to save their own lives and safety, because you never know … when it’s your people who have to migrate, when it’s your people who have to get on that road. So just a thought.” —MSNBC’s Joy Reid

Thanks, Captain Obvious

“A lot of Americans could be saving a lot of money by owning an EV, but only if they could afford it.” —Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg

Yellow Journalism

“As Storm Hits, DeSantis Pauses Political Bomb-Throwing.” —The New York Times

“7 ways a recession could be good for you financially.” —Washington Post columnist Michelle Singletary

And Last…

“Joe Biden demands gas station owners lower prices for gas. Does he not understand that gas stations make a penny or two on each gallon? Gas stations make their money on items bought inside. This is just an embarrassing lack of basic business knowledge.” —Clay Travis
