Today in Unnecessary Tweeting

Journo’s mom scours his Twitter feed

“I have a bunch of general mutes turned on in the Twitter app so that I don’t see most of my replies in the notifications tab but I’m visiting my mom and she apparently reads every single reply I get and has spent the last week asking me variations of ‘what’s it like being hated.'” — Ben Dreyfuss, editorial director, Mother Jones.

MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle explains sarcasm for stupid people 

“Unpopular observation- I’ve often heard Donald Trump called “a complete loser”
He’s not. He is a winner. A man who lies every single day, pays off porn stars & owns our government shutdown over a wall his party doesn’t support is also a winner. Consider this reality in 2019.”

“CLARIFICATION-this wasn’t a compliment. My point is that perhaps 2019 will warrant a closer look at what characteristics must exhibited to be selected our most prized ‘wins’ Lying endlessly & attacking baselessly has not stood in the way of holding the highest office in the land.”

Stephanie Ruhle, host and co-host, MSNBC.

“Disappointed in you Jesse.”

“Probably shouldn’t have posted the photos of the woman you cheated with on your beautiful wife… Flaunting does not become you… your poor girls & their Mother who may see this pushed in their faces.. I’ve lost so much respect that you aren’t thinking of their feelings.”

“Wow so disappointed in your behavior. Your flaunting this relationship. Your poor wife and kids.”

“Fame can change you if you let it.”

“You are nasty.”

“It was HIS CHOICE to sleep around on his wife. Why do women always bash the other woman and give the man a pass? And who are you to judge any of this anyway?”
