#MisfitMemo: Mother's Day (shmother's day)

Welcome to the #MisfitMemo, a weekly rewind of some of our best (worst?) tweets and posts! We tend to do a lot of damage on Twitter in one week, so this is just a sampling of what went down last week. Hope you enjoy!

Well it all started out with a bang! Trump fired Comey and people freaked out. Natch.

UPDATE: Trump fired FBI's Comey based on recommendation of Attorney General Jeff Sessions - White House

— Reuters Top News (@Reuters) May 9, 2017

I basically believe that Comey always tried to do what's right. Which explains why he is hated on a bipartisan basis.

— Alexandra F. B. (@VerumVulnero1) May 9, 2017

The moral grandstanding by Obama officials over the Comey firing is disgusting.

If Trump had done this earlier I would be President!

Lunatic Left: FIRE COMEY

If Congress hadn't spent a century relinquishing authority to the Executive branch the complaints of Congressmen re: Comey might matter.

— CDP □⚾□ (@cdpayne79) May 9, 2017

Democrats seem upset the man who single handedly kept Hillary from victory was fired. □

— Kayla (@VixenRogue) May 9, 2017

Why would you want an FBI director who you think manipulated the election? https://t.co/sPrBQm4X4j

— Dan (@danieltobin) May 10, 2017

LOL. You fuckers just keep adding fat to the fire that is consuming your whole stupid game. Fucking morons. https://t.co/xy0ulPU572

— LunaticRex (@LunaticRex) May 10, 2017

Reminder: HRC would have fired Comey in January, and she'd have done it because he investigated her email and Whitewater.

 Apparently Canada doesn't like the U.S. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Poll: Canada's opinion of the U.S. hits a 35-year low https://t.co/uw4P02pviS pic.twitter.com/2Jz7b7YytL

— The Hill (@thehill) May 9, 2017

Poll: No one gives a shit. https://t.co/ZY2UYHwdd4

— Dan (@danieltobin) May 9, 2017

Dear Canada,

The U.S. is just not that into you. https://t.co/LI7dDJRDo9

People go absolutely berserk when the New York Times prints a pro-life op-ed & the abortion advocates ramp up their outrage to eleventy zillion.

Awwwww poor little thing is upset about the truth. pic.twitter.com/FxIKn9b9Bt

Splodey head! https://t.co/ouOd39Pw7t

Abortion means better economic opportunity for women. It means better and less fearful sex (that's something we usually don't want to say).

— Jill Filipovic (@JillFilipovic) May 9, 2017

Wow. If abortion is the only way you have good sex, you're literally a monster. https://t.co/F3yVuvxN0v

— Andrew Lynch (@GentlemanRascal) May 9, 2017

Better economic opportunities for Cecile Richards, specifically. https://t.co/rlk7XuFxNk

Holy hell. pic.twitter.com/KDSDWcmRoF

— J.R. Holmsted (@JHolmsted) May 9, 2017

If you can't afford a child, don't want a child, or don't want to carry a pregnancy to term for any reason, abortion is responsible. https://t.co/fidihAw8wq

— Jill Filipovic (@JillFilipovic) May 9, 2017

"Don't want a child"

Admitting you view abortion as a method of birth control. https://t.co/AwsEeMXDiU

Leading up to Mother's Day, we co-opted the #CelebrateWomen tag.

If we are going to #celebratewomen, I'm re-upping my salute to the #BeckySquad (still my favorite thing!) pic.twitter.com/NmmvCbKOap

— Alexandra F. B. (@VerumVulnero1) May 11, 2017

#CelebrateWomen pic.twitter.com/jSJuGxtHAR

— Kayla (@VixenRogue) May 11, 2017

#CelebrateWomen, but not ones who keep their pregnancies and then stay home to raise them. Those bitches are sellouts.

— Hug a Bunny Musket (@Patriot_Musket) May 11, 2017

#CelebrateWomen by freeing them from the shackles of Islam.

— Hug a Bunny Musket (@Patriot_Musket) May 11, 2017

And in somewhat related news, it seems Everyday Feminism is in trouble and well...we don't care?

So EverydayFeminism might be going out of business. To this I say... BWAHAHAHAH. I won't be sharing the donate link. #SaveEF. Good riddance. pic.twitter.com/JgxnAAZh6h

Mensch continues on her crusade to impeach Trump, but instead lends us more joke material.

Alex Jones wishes he was this crazy... https://t.co/sml4A4iN3E

Equivalent to a GOP senator citing infowars. Full on bag-of-angry-monkeys-for-brains crazy. https://t.co/IQFhUw5bXO

So politicizing Mother's Day is a thing. Why aren't we surprised?

In celebrating #MothersDay I also celebrate the right for all women to decide for themselves if and when they become mothers.

— Sally Kohn (@sallykohn) May 14, 2017

Even if a woman has an abortion, she's still a mom. That's why it's so hard on them, bc you lied and told them their baby doesn't matter. https://t.co/9S07ONG4S0

— Dan (@danieltobin) May 14, 2017

Today I gratefully give my mother the gift of having been dead for 25 years and not having to see what a tub of fuckery our country's become

— Joss Whedon (@joss) May 14, 2017

You've also given her the gift of not seeing what a tub of fuckery you've become. https://t.co/CKdWN6JXOb

How miserable do you have to be to take issue with Mothers Day? https://t.co/A5O71GdPrF

— Alexandra F. B. (@VerumVulnero1) May 15, 2017

Nothing says "I love you, Mom!" like standing up for the right of mothers everywhere to get the care they need. https://t.co/uFRM9UeosH

— Cecile Richards (@CecileRichards) May 14, 2017

Meet the worst possible messenger for Mother's Day wishes. https://t.co/I0CbxwBW3h

— Mo □ Mo □ (@molratty) May 14, 2017

Saying "I love you, Mom" proves difficult for over 6 million aborted babies whose moms received "care" from PP. https://t.co/iv3LfMEeI7

Your weekly reminder that we don't trust or like the government...and you shouldn't either.

Lives ruined over a cake. Govt at its finest. https://t.co/aPb4vlrJrg

Put aside the religion aspect: Is this really who we want to be? Punishing people for thought crimes? https://t.co/lHXeIsdrz5

Once you accept that everybody in Washington D.C. is dirty af these "crises" are just soap operas your tax dollars are funding.

Teaching high school kids to understand debt and evaluate cost/benefit of a degree program is probably a lot easier, but whatevs. https://t.co/qCjnJhRnek

— Alexandra F. B. (@VerumVulnero1) May 14, 2017

The idea that the people running our govt are evil geniuses instead of a bunch of incompetent second-rate "public servants" is ludicrous. https://t.co/L1NRYJVo1U

— CDP □⚾□ (@cdpayne79) May 10, 2017

Of course it is. Washington DC is corrupt and dirty. It's why we need to stop making it bigger. https://t.co/fyb5bWuTT3

A disturbing picture of a man and a shark prompted some hilarious jokes. Hey, if we had to see it, so do you!

I'd like to see you caption this one.

Of course, we cover all sorts of topics throughout the week...here's the best of the rest!

Noting hypocrisy does not equal defending Trump. We should be past having to make these declarations.

Jimmy Kimmel is now setting healthcare policy, in case you needed to know how deeply stupid a people we are. https://t.co/ROYT0JgxMk

Here's my unpopular opinion: Roger Maris still owns the single-season dinger record. Sorry kids. Juicing fouls the shit all up.
