“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)

“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
