Insight: “We are sure living in a peculiar time. You get more for not working than you will for working, and more for not raising a hog than for raising it.” —Will Rogers (1879-1935)
For the record: “[Bernie Sanders] promises 20 million ‘good-paying, unionized jobs.’ Only about 6.1 million people are unemployed in the United States.” —The Washington Post editorial board
Quasi-broken clock: “Trump voters are not deplorable. They are not racist and they are not bad people, but they were misled.” —ex-Obama aide Johanna Maska
The BIG Lie: “With the people of Honduras and Guatemala and El Salvador, reduce violence in their home communities, violence which we are somewhat to blame for. … Guatemala [is] suffering one of the greatest droughts in their recorded history, caused not by God nor by Mother Nature but by you and me and all of us in our emissions and our excess and our inaction in the face of the facts and the science and the truth.” —Beto O’Rourke
Braying Jackass: “Maybe [Trump] wants to curry [Vladimir Putin’s] favor to ensure he gets help again in 2020 as he did in 2016 from the Russians.” —James Clapper
Belly laugh of the week: “If Putin outsmarted anybody, it’s not President Obama.” —CNN’s Don Lemon
Village idiots: “We’re a democracy — at least, we’re supposed to be — where you’re allowed to disagree, dissent, debate. I really think that [Trump] thinks this is an autocracy.” —Taylor Swift

Big Chief Warren will be on the warpath, Bernie will call for revolution, Harris will say whatever she thinks is useful, Biden will start talking about how JFK visited him in the White House, and Beto will continue to be a furry.
We’ll get lots of the “Orange man bad, orange man not nominate a judge because he bad” babble from the libs and their gimp media. Maddow will cry, Don Lemon will pound an umbrella drink and Tater Stelter will sweat profusely as he reads off the teleprompter about how Trump is literally Hitler. The Fredocons will weigh in with their patented brand of sissy submission to their elite tops. We’ll be informed how taking back the Supreme Court like the geebos of Conservative, Inc., promised for three decades is actually not who we are and how we’re better than that and how oh well I never. Can you imagine Jeb! or Mitt in this situation? They would eagerly, whole-heartedly buy into the compromise unity candidate ploy to stick some moderate muggle on the bench in order to “repair the heart of our country” and “build bridges” of bipartisan love.
