Diary of disturbing disinformation and dangerous delusions

This Insistence

“We don’t engage in retribution and revenge. We uphold and defend the rule of law.”  — Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) 60 Minutes, Monday

We say: If not for retribution and revenge, the Dems would have no legislative agenda. Raskin has vowed to “go after” corporations and law firms that “collaborated” with the Trump administration, which doesn’t sound very “rule of law” to us.

This Wall

“I saw walls stretching for miles, built to keep them in. Standing there, outside what felt like an open-air prison” — Lewis Hamilton, Wednesday

We say: The Formula One superstar went to the Rafah crossing to slam Israel’s treatment of Gaza, but failed to notice he was standing in Egypt, which built and maintains the walls he was condemning.

This Accountability

“We’re going to hold [Republicans] accountable for . . .  crimes against humanity” — Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D. Mass.), Monday

We say: Why stop at allegations of corruption when you can turn the outrage knob all the way up to “crimes against humanity”? At this rate, Dem voters will be disappointed if congressional hearings don’t result in mass executions of Cabinet officials.

This Plea

“We’re making adversaries when we should be making friends.”

— Rep.-elect Adam Hamawy (D-NJ), Tuesday

We say: Hamawy says that the United States needs to make “friends” with the regime that calls us the “Great Satan.” Maybe we don’t need friendship advice from the travel buddy of the convicted terrorist Omar Abdel Rahman, the notorious “Blind Sheik.”
