Abortion Know what I like about 16? It’s even. It’s four months. Donald Trump, on why he supports a 16-week nationwide ban on abortion © 2024 Kwiple.com
Activism Protest galvanizes public sentiment, and when public sentiment is galvanized to a certain extent, then that turns into public pressure, and then when public pressure is applied to a certain extent, then we get policy change. That is how protest works.  Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez © 2024 Kwiple.com
Bullshit  I never heard him saying anything like that, and the way the conversation goes doesn't sound real. You know, he makes up a lot of conversations where people are always calling him “Sir.” You know, maybe his subordinates are calling him sir, because that’s the right thing to do. But foreign leaders don’t call him sir. They either call him Mr. President or Donald, number one. … But number two, the fact that it’s an imag- inary conversation that makes Trump look very good — as all of Trump’s imagined conversations do — doesn’t mean that he doesn’t believe what he’s saying. John Bolton, Trump's National Security Adviser, on Trump's story encouraging Russia to invade  NATO allies and do "whatever the hell they want” © 2024 Kwiple.com
Ideas There's a story where Einstein was talking to a guy. The guy pulled a notebook out and scribbled something down.  Einstein says, “What's that?” The guy says,  “A notebook. Whenever I have a good idea, I write it down.” Einstein says, “I've never had any need for a notebook; I've only had three good ideas.” J. Richard Gott,  quoted in Scientific American, September 1, 2015 © 2024 Kwiple.com
Immigration I had a popular commentator four weeks ago that I talked to that told me flat out, before they saw any of the contents of the bill, any of the contents, nothing was out at that point, that if you try to move a bill that solves the border crisis during this presidential year, I will do whatever I can to destroy you, because I do not want you to solve this during the presidential election. By the way, they have been faithful to their promise and have done everything they can to destroy me. James Lankford, February 7, 2024, conservative Republican senator who negotiated a border security bill with Democrats © 2024 Kwiple.com
Kwiplers say Count votes in Congress by: 1. Calculating a Member's Proportional Vote (MPV) for each member, as follows: MPV = SPNP / NLRS where: SPNP = State's Percentage of the National Population NLRS = Number of Legislators Representing the State (in that legislature) 2. Totaling “yes” MPVs and “no” MPVs 3. Passing if total MPV is more than 50 OTHERWISE Abolish the Senate © 2019 Kwiple.com
Males Do males with bigger testicles have deeper voices? The jury is still out on humans, but if you're a howler monkey, forget about it  A new study finds that the animals can make a lot of noise or a lot of sperm — but trying to do both just takes too much energy. The findings shed important new light on the kind of evolutionary tradeoffs animals must engage in to ensure the survival of their species. … In other words, species with deeper calls had smaller balls. Science, October 2, 2015 © 2024 Kwiple.com
Memory I don't remember ever buying something for myself. Donald Trump © 2024 Kwiple.com
Memory I don't remember that. Donald Trump, responding when asked under oath, “So you don't remember saying you have one of the best memories in the world?” © 2024 Kwiple.com
Memory It turns out that the leading cause of early-onset dementia is being deposed. Jon Stewart, The Daily Show, February 13, 2024, referring to Ivanka, Eric and Donald Trump Jr's claims to not remember when being questioned under oath about business practices of the Trump Organization © 2024 Kwiple.com
Memory Mr. Biden will likely present himself to the jury, as he did during his interview with our office, as a sympathetic, wellmeaning, elderly man with a poor memory. While he is and must be accountable for his actions — he is, after all, the President of the United States — based on our direct observations of him, Mr. Biden is someone for whom many jurors will want to search for reasonable doubt. It would be difficult to convince a jury they should convict him — by then a former president who will be at least well into his eighties — of a serious felony that requires a mental state of willfulness. Report from Special Counsel Robert K. Hur, February 5, 2024, which also found no evidence that Biden willfully retained classified docs © 2024 Kwiple.com
Memory The proper memory for a politician is one that knows what to remember and what to forget. John Morley © 2024 Kwiple.com
Memory The Right Honourable gentleman is indebted to his memory for his jests, and to his imagination for his facts. Richard Brinsley Sheridan, in a speech replying to Henry Dundas, Britain's Secretary of War from 1794-1801 © 2024 Kwiple.com
NATO One of the presidents of a big country stood up and said, “Well, sir, if we don’t pay and we’re attacked by Russia, will you protect us?”  I said, “You didn’t pay. You’re delinquent.” He said, “Yes, let’s say that happened.” No, I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage them [Russians] to do whatever the hell they want. You got to pay. You got to pay your bills. Donald Trump, February 10, 2024, who thinks NATO is like a golf club, with annual fees, during at rally at Coastal Carolina University [The irony of him complaining about people who don't pay their bills went unremarked] © 2024 Kwiple.com
Populism This is the liberal nightmare: not that populists abolish democracy to remain in power, but that they perform well enough not to have to. Janan Ganesh, Financial Times, January 23, 2024 © 2024 Kwiple.com
Post-2022 Senate shituation 15 states (Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Utah, Wyoming) 2020 population: 40,737,128 Senators: 30 Republicans 1 Senator per 1,357,904 people — 1 state (California) 2022 population: 39,995,077 Senators: 2 Democrats 1 Senator per 19,997,539 people 19,997,539 / 1,357,904 = 14.7, therefore: average 15er's vote is worth nearly 15 times a Californian's, a Californian's vote is worth less than 7% of an average 15er's — 1 state (Wyoming) 2022 population = 579,495, therefore: 1 Senator per 289,748 Wyomians, a Wyomian's vote is worth 69 times a Californian's, a Californian's vote is worth 1.4% of a Wyomian's  © 2023 Kwiple.com

Punt returners say Dude. Matt Gaetz responding to a sack-carrying attendee at a meet and greet in New Hampshire who asked him if he'd be interested in a “bag full of underage girls” (which actually held a blow-up sex doll) © 2024 Kwiple.com
Republican congressmen The average Republican congressman is in a safe seat with an electorate he chose himself and he's only scared of only two things; a primary opponent with more guns on his Christmas card and getting a nickname from Trump. Bill Maher, Real Time with Bill Maher, January 26, 2024 © 2024 Kwiple.com
Selfie I don't get too angry. I get even. Donald Trump  © 2024 Kwiple.com
Snapshot She was apparently the only contractor who got paid. Stormy Daniels portrayed by Adam Schiff © 2024 Kwiple.com
Snapshot Anyone who goes into the orbit of the former president is virtually doomed. Because saying no to Trump is like spitting into a raging headwind. It was not just Mission Impossible; it was Mission Self-Destruction. Donald Trump portrayed by Jack Watson, Jimmy Carter’s former chief of staff © 2023 Kwiple.com

Trumpists  You can dismiss Trump voters all you want but give them this: They're every bit as American as any idealized vision of the place. If Trump wins in 2024, his detractors will have to reckon once again with the voters who got us here — to reconcile what it means to share a country with so many citizens who keep watching Trump spiral deeper into his moral void and still conclude, “Yes, that's our guy.” Mark Leibovich, The Atlantic, January/February 2024 © 2024 Kwiple.com
Trumpists say All the Swifties want is swift abortions. Charlie Kirk © 2024 Kwiple.com
 
Trumpists say Every leader kills people, including my leader. Every leader kills people, some kill more than others. Leadership requires killing people, sorry, that's why I wouldn't want to be a leader. Leaderdship requires killing people. Tucker Carlson, February 12, 2024, when asked why, during his interview of Putin in Moscow, he didn't ask him hard questions about freedom of speech in Russia or Russia's treatment of Alexei Navalny, who died four days later in the “Polar Wolf” penal colony forty miles north of the Arctic Circle, where he was serving a decades-long sentence for criticizing Putin © 2024 Kwiple.com
