1. Daniella Greenbaum:

   I know that I did what I needed to do.

It seemed hypocritical to me to do anything different.

3. Feltham:

   It was a false maxim of Domitian that he who would gain the people of Rome must promise all things and perform nothing. For when a man is known to be false in his word, instead of a column, which he might be by keeping it, for others to rest upon, he becomes a reed, which no man will vouchsafe to lean upon. Like a floating island, when we come next day to seek it, it is carried from the place we left it in, and, instead of earth to build upon, we find nothing but inconstant and deceiving waves.

5. Tomi Lahren:

   She ends her trash column with her best attempt at decency, saying she will maybe possibly give them the blessing of her appreciation if they repent for their audacious and unacceptable support for Donald Trump, lady.
