Monday Short Cuts

The Gipper: “Some may try and tell us that this is the end of an era. But what they overlook is that in America, every day is a new beginning. For this is the land that has never become, but is always in the act of becoming.”

For the record: “Barack Obama put a pause for six months on refugees coming from Iraq back in 2011. I don’t remember protestors and I don’t remember lawsuits.” —Wall Street Journal’s Kimberley Strassel

Dezinformatsiya: “Jihadist groups hail Trump’s travel ban as a victory.” —The Washington Post (“Yes, we should listen to the opinions of jihadists while crafting policy. That worked well for 8 years.” —Stephen Miller)

Sounds good to us: “As I’ve said before, I say again today, if there is a move to deport immigrants, I say then start with me.” —Gov. Andrew Cuomo

Defiance: “To anyone who feels threatened today, or vulnerable, you are safe in Boston… If necessary, we will use City Hall itself to shelter and protect anyone who’s targeted unjustly. They can use my office, they can use any office in this building. They’ll be able to use this building as a safe space.” —Boston Mayor Marty Walsh

Non Compos Mentis: “[Not being a sanctuary city] means we would betray the Constitution of this country. … [T]he Constitution says that the president is coercing us.” —Seattle Mayor Ed Murray

Alpha Jackass: “So you put a religious test on Muslims, and you try to scrub reference to Jews in the Holocaust remembrance. This was horribly, horribly mishandled. … This is what Holocaust denial is.” —Tim Kaine implying Trump is anti-Semitic

And last… “Trump is being pressured to rescind temporary immigration ban concerning countries that hate us or risk having those countries hate us.” —Twitter satirist @weknowwhatsbest
