#MisfitMemo 10/2/17

10/2/2017

0 Comments

 
​Welcome back to the #MisfitMemo, a rewind of some of our best (or worst?) tweets from the previous week. There were more NFL shenanigans, Twitter tries out more characters, Rex gets banned, and more! Don't forget to check out our recent blog posts through the links provided at the end!

Social media is still buzzing about the NFL and our thoughts on the topic vary, but we all pretty much agree we're over it.

NASCAR owners and drivers aren't stupid. They understand their audience. The NFL doesn't.

Yet.

If by "backfired" you mean they took the bait and responded like petulant children, disgusting and alienating many fans, then OK. https://t.co/tizpE7YuFd

Let's get this out of the way now: I don't give a shit what anybody does before or during the national anthem and you shouldn't either.

— CDP □⚾□ (@cdpayne79) October 1, 2017

Most anticipated show abt highly paid individuals w/little understanding of those around them?

— Marc Logic (@marcannem96) September 26, 2017

Can we just get back to hating all the players not on our team, regardless of race or politics? https://t.co/OcZhhOaCH4

When I was in Iraq...The NFL was an escape. I loved watching football.

— Gringo Suave □□ (@2009superglide) September 30, 2017

I don't expect someone like Colin Kaepernick who never saluted a flag draped casket headed back to the United States to understand.

— Gringo Suave □□ (@2009superglide) September 30, 2017

Right now the NFL is no longer any fun. People are paying for entertainment not for preaching.

— Gringo Suave □□ (@2009superglide) September 30, 2017
Musket really nails it down in this thread. Click to read the whole thing!

Here's why what's happening in the NFL right now bothers me so much.

— Federalist Musket (@Patriot_Musket) September 25, 2017

#MenForChoice trended, but we're not sure it turned out the way they wanted.

#MenForChoice so they can let the woman deal with the pain of abortion and get away without responsibility.

— CashMoOusside (@molratty) September 26, 2017

Wait I was told we don't have a say in this matter.#MenForChoice

— Federalist Musket (@Patriot_Musket) September 26, 2017

My neighbor's girlfriend just got an abortion. He wanted her to keep the baby. My neighbor didn't get a choice.

— Gringo Suave □□ (@2009superglide) September 26, 2017
Of course, we can't just sit on the tag and ignore the abomination that is Planned Parenthood.

Government-run housing projects. Failing inner city schools. There is plenty of black oppression, but not by who you think it is.

— Federalist Musket (@Patriot_Musket) September 26, 2017

How about #Prolife men? @cdpayne79 @LunaticRex @Patriot_Musket @GentlemanRascal @marcannem96 @2009superglide @SeanTheProducr https://t.co/Y848dsCzNv

— Dan (@danieltobin) September 26, 2017

Twitter tests 280 character limits and Misfits were not exactly thrilled with the idea.

Dear @twitter, please give this guy 280 characters. Trust me, it'll be great for all of us... https://t.co/a7Em1b57PL

— Alex F. Baldwin (@VerumVulnero1) October 1, 2017
Picture

This doesn't mean I'm going to read all of it though. https://t.co/HOJM9oO89G

— Federalist Musket (@Patriot_Musket) September 26, 2017

Just what we need, 200+ emoji tweets from Chelsea Manning. https://t.co/NYyu5E5KBD

When Twitter gives me 280 characters pic.twitter.com/dhEVcOFRU8

Puerto Rico was ravaged by two hurricanes and like any tragedy, has become highly politicized. 

Congrats on your new, permanent occupying force, Puerto Rico https://t.co/VA26xyQze0

— Alex F. Baldwin (@VerumVulnero1) September 30, 2017

There might be legitimate criticisms in here but they're buried in a word-vomit rant based on a lie that Trump's doing nothing for PR. https://t.co/g6iAGwou86

— CashMoOusside (@molratty) September 29, 2017

Democrats would airdrop Ebola into PR if there was a chance they could blame Trump for it.

— Federalist Musket (@Patriot_Musket) September 30, 2017

Harvey: THOSE WHITE SECESSIONISTS DON'T DESERVE GOVERNMENT HELP!
<Yes, they do>
Maria: TRUMP ISN'T HELPING THOSE BROWN PEOPLE!
<Yes, he is>

— CashMoOusside (@molratty) September 27, 2017

Discussion of tax reform brought out some pretty dumb takes and we miss no opportunity to call people like Ms. Singer out.

Saving $1,000 a year on taxes is nothing. Less than $100 a month.

— Emily C. Singer (@CahnEmily) September 27, 2017

"Nothing." Bitch please. I have memories of eating nothing but beans and generic mac & cheese for weeks during certain periods of my life. https://t.co/aLgkz7hDeJ

— Rebecca de Winter (@BlazerMc88) September 27, 2017

You've clearly never cried at night because you couldn't buy new shoes for your child. https://t.co/dcENDHgHIa

— Kayla (@VixenRogue) September 28, 2017

What a surprise to learn that our intellectual betters don't understand what it is to be poor. https://t.co/Ns4VyAkDpC

— CashMoOusside (@molratty) September 27, 2017

Americans need a bigger tax cut than $1000. Also, a $1000 tax cut can help a lot of people.

— Dan (@danieltobin) September 28, 2017

We can never cover all the topics we hit in a week, so here's a little compilation of the best of the rest!

Every freedom loving person who thinks govt should have concentrated power over the states needs to be watching Spain right the fuck now.

— #FreeRex Holmsted (@JHolmsted) October 1, 2017

And Chipotle is the most authentic Mexican food. https://t.co/ZAWMNBP8pC

— Marc Logic (@marcannem96) October 2, 2017

Countries the left has praised over America this week (and it's only Tuesday):

Iran
North Korea
Saudi Arabia

— Dan (@danieltobin) September 27, 2017

I've never thought I was better than anybody, at least not until they showed themselves to be unworthy of such esteem. Then? Fuck them.

— LunaticRex (@BoonaticRex) September 29, 2017

A gunshot from a .22 with a suppressor on is still 116 decibels. Gun laws shouldn't be written by those getting their expertise from movies. https://t.co/IkvpQy1JMi

— Kayla (@VixenRogue) September 30, 2017

If you blindfolded 10 people and dropped them into the Great Salt Lake, a survey would show overwhelming support that it was the ocean...

— Alex F. Baldwin (@VerumVulnero1) September 28, 2017

So fast and furious to defend Obama. https://t.co/qp21vBwlfm

— #FreeRex Holmsted (@JHolmsted) October 1, 2017

Meanwhile, in Venezuela, former teachers, doctors and other professionals are becoming prostitutes to survive. https://t.co/DB2eOzx4Au

We get caught up in our Twitter world, Andrew takes a good look at it in this thread:

Nothing you say or do on Twitter will have any impact on the real world. You're not saving the world, civilization, or changing politics.

— Andrew Lynch (@GentlemanRascal) September 29, 2017

Before we go, we must acknowledge that our beloved Rex was targeted and unfortunately, it resulted in the loss of his account. A few of us have dealt with being reported and restricted a time or two, but never to this extent. While we mourn the loss of the established LunaticRex account, never fear for he is still here! Everyone go follow BoonaticRex now!

So, @lunaticrex was officially permabanned. Let us pour one out in remembrance of a legend and old man yelling at clouds.

— Andrew Lynch (@GentlemanRascal) October 1, 2017

I might be on a different account now, but I'm still intolerant of silly bullshit. Some things never change. #BeAdvised

— LunaticRex (@BoonaticRex) October 1, 2017

Meet the new Rex, same as the old Rex. Just with a cooler avatar.
