Victimitis: “Fox News is always trying to impeach me, so somebody needs to tell them that doesn’t apply to a private citizen. When you’ve been accused of everything like I have, and you realize some people believe it, it’s really depressing.” —Hillary Clinton

Blame game ad nauseum: “When Nate Silver and others went back and looked at all of the polling … they had never seen a bigger drop than they saw in sentiment toward me until the Comey letter on October 28 happened.” —Hillary Clinton, still blaming James Comey for her loss

Defiance: “If @realDonaldTrump asks me to deploy Oregon Guard troops to the Mexico border, I’ll say no. As Commander of Oregon’s Guard, I’m deeply troubled by Trump’s plan to militarize our border.” —Oregon Gov. Kate Brown

Braying Jenny: “[Donald Trump is] the most anti-democratic leader that I have studied in American history.” —former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright

Village Idiots: “Donald trump is killing this country. Some of it quickly, some slowly, but he spoils and destroys everything he touches. He emboldens monsters, wielding guns, governmental power, or just smug doublespeak. Or Russia. My hate and sadness are exhausting. Die, Don. Just quietly die.” —Marvel’s “Avengers” director Joss Whedon


Ingrate: “It was really good of America to join WW2 two years late, after millions had died. Many thanks.” —Piers Morgan, who’d be speaking German if not for the U.S.

And last… “It’s been noisy and competitive since Day One, because this agency has been a bastion of liberalism since Day One. As we are making progress there and also reducing the regulatory burden, it is infuriating to those that have dominated and controlled the agency for years. … We are getting things done, and that’s what’s driving these folks crazy.” —EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt’s perfect explanation for the Left’s virulent attacks
