"First they came for the Communists,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me,
and by that time there was no one
left to speak up for me."

Fake News About “Love” For Obamacare?

"I begin to think maybe Trump is on to something with his Fake News schtick. Which isn’t schtick at all in terms of the obvious, egregious bias of what is styled 'mainstream' media outlets such as CNN (back in the ’90s, the letters were said to stand for Clinton News Network). But what Trump means is 'news' that is not stilted but upended. Manufactured to present the outright wrong as the absolutely certain. And not on account of incompetence, either."
