NOTABLE QUOTABLES (June 6, 2024)

CROOKED AS THE BRAZOS

“There is only one tier of justice. … We don’t give any benefit to a powerful person over a non-powerful person, any benefit to a Democrat over a Republican.”  – Attorney General Merrick Garland 

POLITICAL FUTURES

“Here are a few signs of a losing campaign: No. 1: Poll denial. No. 2: Inability to shift course. No. 3: Celebrity cameos. Welcome to Joe Biden’s 2024 campaign.” – Ben Shapiro

“The problem with Biden’s obvious and continued mental collapse … is that our expectations have also collapsed. The brutal fact is that we expect so little from Biden that it’s almost impossible for him to disappoint.” – Ian Haworth

“I notice that pollsters have regularly asked voters whether a conviction would change their opinion about voting for Trump, but have rarely asked whether an acquittal would change their opinion about voting for Trump.” – Jim Geraghty

FOR THE RECORD

“Remember, the only reason this preposterous case was brought is because Joe Biden is a weak, dishonest, and failed president who can’t run on his record.” – Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR)

“The message of President Biden’s executive order: you can enter our country illegally, just make sure you’re one of the first few thousand each day to do so.” – Senator Deb Fischer (R-NE)

“What makes [Anthony] Fauci such a despicable figure in American life is that he greedily became the ultimate metaphor for the pseudo-intellectual elite that have taken control of our modern society, and therefore part of the reason why trust in institutions and scientific reason have nosedived. For Fauci, it was never about ‘the science,’ but the cult of celebrity.” – Ian Haworth

NOW, THAT’S FUNNY

“Thank God our celebrated transportation secretary … wasn’t in charge of the Normandy landings.”  – Stephen Moore

“Bottom line: Never trust a man whose uncle was eaten by cannibals.” – Joni Ernst
