Braying Jackass: “No president has ever led by fear. Not Lincoln. Not Roosevelt. Not Kennedy. Not Reagan. This president is more like George Wallace than George Washington!” —Joe Biden

Village Idiots: “The government may be living in an alternate universe, but we as a society & culture know who we are and know our truth and must stick together and raise our voices so we can educate them about gender identities. … This is another display of leadership being driven by ignorance.” —Lady Gaga

The BIG Lie: “Unlike some I actually try to state facts. I believe in facts. I believe in a fact-based reality and a fact based politics. I don’t believe in just making stuff up.” —Barack Obama, who would agree with Lady Gaga’s “our truth” and “gender identities” nonsense

Non Compos Mentis: “Key differences between Donald Trump and Adolph Hitler — Hitler served honorably in the military, Trump didn’t; Hitler was faithful to his wife, Trump cheated on all his wives; Hitler wrote a book, Trump’s were all ghostwritten.” —former Reagan official Bruce Bartlett, who’s gone off the deep end with Trump Derangement Syndrome (Hitler also murdered six million Jews and led tens of millions more people to slaughter via a world war.)

Non Compos Mentis II: “[The word ‘nationalist’] reminds me of the kinds of words that came from people like Hitler, who thought that in Germany he was a nationalist, and the kinds of people that this president seems to like, and those who are repressive dictators, those are the individuals that generally use that kind of phrase and those kinds of words.” —Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-NY)
