Tuesday Short Cuts
“The Fake News Media is the true Enemy of the People!” —Donald Trump
For the record: “The American Media has changed forever. News organizations that seemed like a big deal are now extinct. … The Fake News Media is the true Enemy of the People!” —Donald Trump
Race bait: “Mark Meadows is so racist that he needs to be put on display at the African-American History Museum as an artifact, all right? I am so sick of Republicans thinking that the only racist people left in America are David Duke and Louis Farrakhan, all right? White people don’t get a vote! My people have been held in bondage and oppression in the New World for 400 years!” —MSNBC contributor Elie Mystal
Non Compos Mentis: “[Ilhan Omar] is being targeted just like many civil rights icons before us who spoke out about oppressive policies. As she uplifts my Sity and other Palestinians in the name of justice and peace, she shows us real courage.” —Rep. Rashida Tlaib
The BIG Lie: “[Flip-flopping is] certainly not my record, not who I am.” —Kirsten Gillibrand (*“Gillibrand received an ‘A’ rating from the National Rifle Association, opposed amnesty and driver’s licenses for illegal immigrants, called for increase in funding for Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, and supported English being the official language of the United States. She has now flipped-flopped on all those positions.” —The Washington Free Beacon)
Warning: “If we can train a million Baracks and Michelles who are running around thinking they can change the world … then they’re the ones that are going to carry forward the solutions that we so desperately need.” —Barack Obama
Non Compos Mentis: “The question I have never understood is why. … Why did you check those [Native American ancestry] boxes, because obviously, that’s a very small part of your lineage? 1/32nd or something, so why did you do it?” —former Obama adviser David Axelrod to Elizabeth Warren, who replied, “Based on what I learned growing up … I sometimes identified as Native American. It never had anything to do with any job that I ever got.” Except it did…
And last… “Men who identify as women are heroes for competing against and defeating women, which doesn’t happen because the genders are exactly the same and don’t mention science because shut up bigot.” —Twitter satirist @hale_razor
