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

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.”

The secret is that, to paraphrase Feynman, we are all morons outside of, at best, a narrow niche, so it’s good to neither default to disbelief or credentialism
I also love that millennial Dems like Mamdani, Talarico, and Mayor Pete are out here like “I am not afraid to talk to morons and I will sell them on my vision”

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

To paraphrase Cameron Frye, "Effective at what?"
