RIP-NYC

“The city that was attacked by radical Muslims 25 years ago has now elected a radical Muslim as its mayor – and one who didn’t hide it – visiting more than 50 mosques during his campaign.” – Nate Jackson

“The saddest part is he’d never have won were New York full of New Yorkers.” – Michael Knowles


LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE

“Trump is actively working to withhold SNAP funding –  forcing families to food banks across the country.” –  Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA)

“[Republicans] are deliberately trying to make the shutdown as painful as possible. These are nihilists that we’re dealing with.” – Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT)

“We have waged a battle on behalf of the American people. First of all, Donald Trump and Republicans are the ones who shut the government down.” – House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries


BELLY LAUGH OF THE DAY

“People in red states: please share all of the horrible, scary things about your state to warn people against moving there.” – Allie Beth Stuckey

“What Washington needs is a return to common sense. Common sense up here is illegal. I mean, you’ll look at some of the rules and the regs and the people in charge, and you’ll ask yourself, how did these people make it through the birth canal?” – Sen. John Kennedy


FOR THE RECORD

“The big picture of what is happening is the failure of the Affordable Care Act. Indeed, some Democrats have admitted that the reason they shut down the government was to hold out for more ‘emergency’ subsidy money because the ACA has failed to make health coverage affordable.” – Byron York

“No Democratic senators have been seen wearing T-shirts saying, ‘I caused disruption and heartache for millions, and all I got was a meaningless promise for a lousy vote,’ but they would be apt. … In the Trump years, to be progressive is to feel an implacable sense of impotence and rage. This was the real reason for the shutdown –  it was a way to give vent to an unreasoning hatred of Donald Trump.” – Rich Lowry

“PRO TIP: if you’re gonna call it ‘the Republican Shutdown’ you’re not supposed to get mad that it’s ending.” – Jimmy Failla

“One thing that came out of this entire fight is that … ObamaCare has been exposed as a complete and utter failure. We all know it now. Everybody admits it. The other thing that came out is that Democrats are willing to make people suffer.” – Scott Jennings
