Kristi Noem misattributing a paraphrase of Rudyard Kipling to George Orwell really does sum it all up huh
Kristi Noem: "It reminded me of the quote that is often attribute to George Orwell that states, 'People sleep peacefully in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.'"

Greg Bovino is, to paraphrase the great Marisa Kabas, a Gestapo bitch.
Bovino: "When politicians, community leaders, & some journalists engage in that heated rhetoric we keep talking about, when they make the choice to vilify law enforcement calling law enforcement 'Gestapo' or using the term 'kidnapping,' that is a choice & there are actions & consequences."

To paraphrase the great Jennifer Tilly:

He's lucky he's an idiot.
Q: Can you expand on your comment that nobody has any idea why Bondi is no longer the AG? It seems like it's a problem if you don't know what the president wants you to be doing better

BLANCHE: That's an assumption baked into your question that I don't know is true

Lot of people seem to think this is a paraphrase. No, he actually said that
Vice President JD Vance: "I empathize with Americans who are exhausted after 25 years of foreign entanglements in the Middle East. I understand the concern, but the difference is that back then we had dumb presidents"

To paraphrase a friend - the transmisogyny lately is rank - even in leftist space.

I assumed that second quote was satire, or at least a paraphrase. It’s not. The thug trash said that.
“The use of force that I’ve seen has been exemplary — the least amount of force necessary to accomplish the mission,” Bovino told @cbsnews.com Friday. “If someone strays into a pepper ball, then that’s on them. Don’t protest and don’t trespass.”

I sort of assumed that this was a paraphrase rather than a quote

I thought this might be a paraphrase. It is not a paraphrase.
Trump: We have a ballroom that's under budget. I've doubled the size of it because we obviously need that. And we're right now on budget, under budget and ahead of schedule. I DOUBLED THE SIZE OF IT YOU DUMB PERSON!

To paraphrase the defiant governor’s response to Trump:

“Bitch, you cray”

This is the Chicago way.
Pritzker: Trump looked at the cameras and asked for me personally to say, Mr. President, can you do us the honor of protecting our city? Instead, I say, Mr. President, do not come to Chicago.

Your remarks about this effort have betrayed a continuing slip in your mental faculties

Exactly. To paraphrase, “I hate Democrats because they are no better than Trump, whom I support.”
What did I just read? A woman who found working for Democrats mildly annoying so she switched to supporting a corrupt authoritarian racist & rapist? And we’re expected to conclude that she had good reasons for that from the gossip she shares? Risible stuff.

Sometimes, to paraphrase Terry Pratchett, you hear the voice of the electorate. And it growls
