QOTD: from the “Ya Think?” files

Ted Koppell:
The irony is they think they’re being tough on ISIS. And Trump thinks he is being tough on ISIS. Senator Rubio in his interview with you touched on it very, very lightly. Donald Trump is in effect the recruiter-in-chief for ISIS. ISIS wants nothing more right now than to have the world divided into Judeo-Christian on one side, and the Islamic world on the other. That’s exactly what Trump is doing for them. I think it’s time we started thinking about what ISIS wants and then not doing it.
The fact that Rubio touched on this blindingly obvious fact which everyone over the age of 12 can see is simple common sense “very, very lightly” tells you everything you need to know about him and anyone else in the GOP who is too chicken to admit reality.
Donald Trump was interviewed by Jake Tappen on State of the Union this morning. He railed against “certain people” also known as “Muslims” over and over again, saying that we have to keep them out of the country until we “solve the problem”. But he insisted that this would only be temporary until we can “figure out what the hell is going on”. When Tapper pressed him on what that meant he said we need to find out “why all the hatred? Why do they hate us so much?”
Seriously.
I’m going to guess that this symbolizes everything they loathe:
