Monday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Axios, William Shatner, Alec Baldwin, Van Jones, Barack Obama, and more.

Dezinformatsiya

“Thanksgiving in the United States is based on a mythical feast between the Wampanoag people and Mayflower Pilgrims. The holiday’s real story is mixed with national unity and racial exclusion.” —Axios

Village Idiots

“I don’t know why the Democrats lost. I don’t understand why the Democrats lost.” —actor William Shatner

“Americans are very uninformed about reality — what’s really going on.” —actor Alec Baldwin (“Man who shot and killed a woman thinks other people are dumb.” —Tim Young)

“Italy has seen fascism. Italy has seen these things. You guys, you understand what happens. You have seen this before. My country is in its adolescence. Adolescence is very arrogant. Adolescence thinks it knows everything. Adolescence is naive and ignorant and arrogant. And we are in our ignorant, arrogant adolescence. We haven’t seen this before in our country. So Americans who don’t travel, who 80% don’t have a passport, who are uneducated, are in their extraordinary naïveté.” —actress Sharon Stone

The BIG Lies

“I haven’t seen what the proof is that the FBI has been weaponized against a political party. Or the Department of Justice, of course.” —Congressman Jamie Raskin

“[Trump] barely squeaked out this win. … He did not get the popular vote. … He has no mandate.” —CNN’s Van Jones

Lack of Self-Awareness Award

“I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about how to build rules and habits that allow us to disagree deeply while still being able to live together. On December 5, I’ll talk more about this idea — called pluralism — at our third annual @ObamaFoundation Democracy Forum.” —Barack Obama (“For the kids not old enough, you can’t imagine how much LESS divided we were before this street communist walked into the White House. Pre-Obama was a different America. A much better one.” —Jesse Kelly)

Demagogue

“Candidly, it’s a bit scary because there’s a very different vision that’s being put out there. … I know there’s a bit of — a feeling of loss because we saw what a real leader looks like.” —Tim Walz

Duly Noted!

“My members don’t really care about whether they have a bureaucracy of the Department of Education or not. In fact, Al Shanker and the AFT in the 1970s were opposed to its creation.” —American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten

Re: The Left

“The Democrat party wants to resist removing their beloved ‘newcomers,’ like the murderer of Laken Riley and Jocelyn Nungaray — terrorists, child rapists, and Chinese infiltrators — from our Nation. That is a futile political stance, but stupidity has become the best adjective descriptor of the party of the jackass.” —Allen West

“[Leftists] hate George Washington and Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln and Dr. Seuss and Mr. Potato Head. They think our kids ought to be able to change genders at recess. They carry around Ziploc bags of kale to give themselves energy.” —Senator John Kennedy

“Universal healthcare is always eventually followed by death panels. Always.” —Megan Basham
