Misfit Memo: Turkey Day 2017

Welcome to a special edition of the #MisfitMemo! There's been a little hiatus due to the busy season, but we wanted to check in for Thanksgiving! We normally have topical sections, but because there has been so much going on, we're mostly going to throw them all together to give you a smorgasbord this time around. Much like most Thanksgiving dinners. Don't forget to read our recent blog posts through the links provided at the end and make sure you follow The Misfittiest Tweep of the Week!

Masculinity isn’t faux machismo based on sexual conquests or brute strength. It isn’t hurting or belittling the women in your life.

It’s acknowledging the responsibility to protect, provide for, and cherish your family, and taking pride in doing so. #InternationalMensDay

If you put bourbon in your morning coffee, it isn't considered day drinking. #RexsRules #InternationalMensDay

I wonder how many pictures of Biden inappropriately touching people are being used in SHARP Power Point Presentations? @KurtSchlichter

The cries for Franken or Trump or Moore to step down are an admission that voters are unwilling to hold them accountable.

"And I was like 'so your chosen government representatives used your money to carry on affairs and pay off people they assaulted and you're here talking to me instead of marching them in chains to the gallows?' Anyway, that's how that started." pic.twitter.com/6nwn8Vd0Lf

What Al Franken did was wrong, but let's not not forget that Mike Pence eats dinner with his wife.

Clearly the solution to hero worship in politics is to raise up other heroes to worship.

We are being taxed for elected officials in D.C. to pay off their sex crime victims. Think about that and ask yourself: Are we even interested in getting better?

— Rex Frampton, Lunatic (@BoonaticRex) November 17, 2017

Another reminder: Monica Lewinsky paid a much steeper personal price for this than Bill Clinton did. He was a spectacularly wealthy, lauded statesman within five years. Her life was, for all intents and purposes, permanently ruined. https://t.co/0TnJZEuknn

I lost my blue check mark. It's probably in the same place my car keys and favorite pocket knife are. What a drag it is, getting old.

I'm pretty sure there is no coherent theory of human rights that is based on how many people retweet you. https://t.co/ia7m7isoYG

Government fearing its citizenry is a feature, not a bug. https://t.co/J85HtiUYHj

If you thought the chainsaw bayonet incident would motivate anti-gun activists to do a modicum of research before tweeting, if only to thwart embarrassment, you thought wrong. https://t.co/JeVp12xz9D

— Kayla Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt (@VixenRogue) November 21, 2017

You know that was a TV show, right? You never really lived there... https://t.co/ZfB5SVofcZ

This sounds like an argument for the second amendment. https://t.co/5ozLipSTk1

— Dan (@danieltobin) November 14, 2017

Lois Lerner insisted she did nothing wrong (right before she illegally invoked her no longer valid #5A rights). What could she possibly fear?

— Rex Frampton, Lunatic (@BoonaticRex) November 20, 2017

Of course you are willing when it isn’t your payment to make. https://t.co/ESX90KjW8X

Nobody has asked the Cleveland Browns how to run a football team either. https://t.co/B2kIFEjnyn

Planned Parenthood alone demolishes your premise. https://t.co/EjdPij8FVY

I like how we're now fighting over which assaulter politician is worse like it's some sort of competition in which the less worse one gets to stay. Grabass Thunderdome.

Now we will move on to Thanksgiving themed tweets. From all those dreadful "How to Talk to Your Icky Republican Relatives" articles to silly memes, we have a little bit of everything!

How to Talk to Your Family About Planned Parenthood This #Thanksgiving https://t.co/SPmJHlGxiW pic.twitter.com/qQNryn15Mv

— Planned Parenthood (@ppmn) November 23, 2016

Planned Parenthood was founded by someone who wanted to eliminate black people.

Pass the gravy. https://t.co/RZbNP6Yn2s

Bring this chart to Thanksgiving dinner. It’ll come in handy when that family member who always talks politics tells you the Republican tax bill helps the middle class. pic.twitter.com/2EpZ5PxcDY

— Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) November 19, 2017

If you show up at my house with this chart, you'll be eating outside in the swingset fort with the fat raccoon that lives in my tree. https://t.co/XCq0hjasuF

Throw it in the garbage and have steak.

I just flung turkey juice into my coffee.

Editor’s Note:
Happiest of Thanksgivings from the Misfit family to yours! I want to take this time to say that we are truly thankful for the opportunity to be able to have this little piece of the Internet with Misfits. We are immensely grateful to our readers and followers for putting up with our shenanigans. We are continuously overwhelmed and encouraged by the response we receive. I can safely say that we have each enjoyed the endless laughs, learned a great deal, and forged lasting friendships through this project. Thank you all for being a huge part of that! Have a safe holiday weekend!
- J. R.

It would be nice if while they're at it Senators could stop assaulting our liberties, too.
