​Welcome to the #MisfitMemo, a rewind of some of our best (worst?) tweets and posts on a variety of topics from last week. Hope you enjoy!

Peter Daou displayed his (unrequited) love for Hillary. Again.

Let's cut through the platitudes: Anyone who participated in the unjust vilification of Hillary Clinton helped toxify our discourse. pic.twitter.com/76MTjIw1ZJ

I wonder if he writes "Mr Peter Clinton" in a notebook over and over again... of course dotting the i with a heart. https://t.co/BwR7TM3BO8

— Andrew Lynch (@GentlemanRascal) June 15, 2017

Hills is not leaving Bill for you, Peter. https://t.co/AkgRAF5BMe

— J.R. Holmsted (@JHolmsted) June 15, 2017

Let's cut through the platitudes: your blind obsession with Hillary Clinton is really unhealthy. You should probably seek professional help. https://t.co/qpFIysHe9n

— Alex F. Baldwin (@VerumVulnero1) June 15, 2017

How is this stalker still walking (and tweeting) free? No one vilified Hillary Clinton. It's (almost) universally accepted that she sucks. https://t.co/cXyrkLspGR

— LunaticRex (@LunaticRex) June 15, 2017

​Kayla  was way ahead of us and nailed it back in March:

Find someone who feels for you the way @peterdaou feels for Hillary Clinton.

And file a restraining order.

Kamala Harris was interrupted after interrupting and that deserved all the outrage!

Why do Republican senators only interrupt when Kamala Harris is asking questions? A black woman can't question a white attorney general? pic.twitter.com/0zD59hVH7E

— Keith Boykin (@keithboykin) June 13, 2017

Nothing says empowered woman attorney like a mansplanation about how she can't be interrupted as she interrupts https://t.co/GJTGGHrbNL

— Mo Mo (@molratty) June 13, 2017

The interruptions of course are tactical. They're intended to be a show of force, it's an attempt to fluster one another.

— Dan □□ (@danieltobin) June 13, 2017

When you realize 80% of the populace thinks "free speech" just means you can interrupt stuff you don't agree with whenever you want. pic.twitter.com/jisWaVxA9J

— CDP □⚾□ (@cdpayne79) June 17, 2017

Guuuuuurl, Interrupted. #KamalaHarrisAnything

Of course most of the week was consumed with the shooting Wednesday morning. As most of us were horrifed and trying to understand what happened, much of Twitter was as ugly as ever.

I figured there'd be a lot of gun tweets. Wasn't expecting the "R's deserve it because of the AHCA" hottest of hot takes.

— Mo Mo (@molratty) June 14, 2017

Both of these are true, argue about it all you want.

— Dan □□ (@danieltobin) June 14, 2017

If a Democrat is shot, the shooter's politics are the problem.

If a Republican is shot, the victim's politics are the problem.

— Mo Mo (@molratty) June 18, 2017

Recent violence from the Lunatic Left comes from their side telling them they have no Constitutional processes left to protect them.

— Assault Musket (@Patriot_Musket) June 15, 2017

I wonder how many people that were tweeting "Love Trumps Hate" are now tweeting that the Republicans got what they deserve? @JHolmsted

— Gringo Suave □□ (@2009superglide) June 14, 2017

​There were the usual suspects...

The universe doesn't joke around. The officer who saved bigoted, homophobic Rep. Steve Scalise during baseball practice was a black lesbian.

— George Takei (@GeorgeTakei) June 17, 2017

Yea, well your super-progressive Bernie Bro compatriot shot the black lesbian, dumbass https://t.co/cseqeO65KA

— Alex F. Baldwin (@VerumVulnero1) June 18, 2017

You can just come right out with it and say you think he deserved to be shot, George. We know. https://t.co/vXj4fhSc8F

— Mo Mo (@molratty) June 18, 2017

"So it is a point of especially delicious irony that Scalise...may owe his life to a queer black woman."

Shut the fuck up. FULL STOP. https://t.co/ADwvhP1ISy

— J.R. Holmsted (@JHolmsted) June 16, 2017

​And then some...

I hate to say it but, maybe this shooting will galvanize the Republicans into supporting Trump. It could happen.

— Chuck Woolery (@chuckwoolery) June 14, 2017

Lots of stupid hot takes today, this should be in the top 10 https://t.co/qoS3gt8nJE

— Rebecca de Winter (@BlazerMc88) June 14, 2017

The best of the rest of our crazy tweets!

Hold on...so, if someone lies during the hiring process to improve their chances of getting a job, they should resign? Hmm..... https://t.co/cw4QyP7ddp

— Alex F. Baldwin (@VerumVulnero1) June 13, 2017

Conservativism is for people of all ages, races, and education, who value freedom. It doesn't make the distinctions you do. https://t.co/efFARYn1Ll

— Dan □□ (@danieltobin) June 18, 2017

By all means, hold hearings and explain why a govt that can't even provide healthcare for veterans should be doing it for everyone else. https://t.co/ybFTpIA8Xl

— CDP □⚾□ (@cdpayne79) June 14, 2017

A play isn't political violence you nitwit. Sit down, shut up. https://t.co/wxPkmuXEnO

— Kayla (@VixenRogue) June 17, 2017

"Wow, not cool"

Rolling Stone https://t.co/mMdOAA1XVg

— Marc Logic (@marcannem96) June 15, 2017

Amazing how many conservatives I know that don't fit any of these categories, let alone all three □□□ https://t.co/IRLiT0Bmpt

— CC "Creepster" Hayes (@_CCHayes) June 18, 2017

Cool. Now do Christianity. https://t.co/yYHWMIMkOM

— Rebecca de Winter (@BlazerMc88) June 16, 2017

The United States Army is older than the United States....The oldest branch in our military

— Gringo Suave ?? (@2009superglide) June 15, 2017

Me: Hi I'm a white, bisexual, female, christian, Ravenclaw, virgo, middle child, blood type A+

Stranger: *slowly backs away*

— Kayla (@VixenRogue) June 14, 2017

Let me be very clear on something. I often use the term Lunatic Left.

It's not hyperbole it's a reference to a subset of the political left

— Assault Musket (@Patriot_Musket) June 14, 2017

I can't talk now. Gotta go to the sweat lodge and smoke peyote. Then, tacos!

— LunaticRex (@LunaticRex) June 13, 2017

Forgot to campaign Wisconsin & Michigan

Idea: sequel to Footloose but set in Iran and about not being able to Zumba. Shock ending: the govt executes everyone for blasphemy.

— Andrew Lynch (@GentlemanRascal) June 15, 2017

Hey, #UniteBlue: Independence Day is coming up. What does that mean to you? I'll tell you what it means to me. You go first. #America
