#MisfitMemo 9/25/17

Welcome back to the #MisfitMemo, a rewind of some of our best (or worst?) tweets from the previous week. We've got everything from Rocket Man being preferable to Trump (mkay) to Funny Man, authority on healthcare. Don't forget to check out our recent blog posts through the links provided at the end!

The healthcare debate is back and too many think they know better than you. This time, even Jimmy Kimmel became a healthcare policy expert, natch.

When your kid is dying waiting for the govt to ok some procedure, the Jimmy Kimmels will be flying theirs out of the country for care.

Millions of people could lose the coverage they only bought because the government made them.

The left couldn't handle a non political cameo by Spicer at the Emmys, but Kimmel's late night legislation show is gonna be lit. https://t.co/ETR5U9w0ow

How an anecdote from a person who doesn't understand healthcare economics is dictating policy. I.e., we are a deeply stupid people. https://t.co/YngBt3RSi5

Under Obama this was described as "necessary" or something. I didn't like it then & I don't like it now. https://t.co/6fvyIosIra

'Coverage' of pre-existing conditions is not insurance. It's a form of welfare and should not even be included in discussions of health ins. https://t.co/xKLbO3Kloz

People really don't understand due process or how it works.

Yes. Also, enjoy the lawsuits! Also also, Feds shouldn't be giving money to colleges in the first place.

Way too easy for men to be expelled and labeled a rapist for life without due process or the chance to defend themselves* https://t.co/Wiy4Jwu1lQ

— Kayla (@VixenRogue) September 23, 2017

There's always only one side to this, and if you're deemed on the wrong side, it's because you're evil. Due process be damned. https://t.co/j5L7YGyEb0

Kim Jong Un and Trump are at it again. People are again preparing for the end of the world. And this time, journalists and celebrities decided that maybe they would like to have Chubby Butt over Small Hands.

This the infectious disease left over from the Obama years. We're scared to tell dictators threatening America to fuck off. https://t.co/SQV1y6c5nt

— Dan (@danieltobin) September 19, 2017

So.... you actually want Kim Jong-Un as your ally? https://t.co/BDeQB00t8n

— Andrew Lynch (@GentlemanRascal) September 21, 2017

I'd rather a foreign enemy be mocked (and Rocket Man is pretty great) than the American media being an "echo chamber" for admin lies.

— BoonaticRex (@LunaticRex) September 20, 2017

Oh honey. https://t.co/o1wyP8OTUW

— J.R. Holmsted (@JHolmsted) September 22, 2017

Uhhhh. Kim Jung's letter to @realDonaldTrump is a little bit more sane than @realDonaldTrump. Maybe we trade?

Valerie Plame was so eager to discredit neocons that she tweeted, defended, then sort of apologized for an anti-Semitic article.

LOL the former CIA operative wasn't tipped off by the headline that the article might be anti-Semitic.

— Federalist Musket (@Patriot_Musket) September 21, 2017

Valerie Plame said what Ben Rhodes wants to say.

— Dan (@danieltobin) September 21, 2017

So, are we supposed to "read the entire article" or just skim and zero in on the neocon criticism? pic.twitter.com/tesxZewUH1

NFL anthem antics are a hot topic with the hottest of takes. We know ESPN is all in on leftist politics. The media is giddy with the prospect of athletes turning on their fans. Even Trump had to take a turn and welp, it may have gone from bad to worse.

A lot of people who are mad at Collin Kaepernick will be kneeling in church today. `

— Joy Reid (@JoyAnnReid) September 24, 2017

A lot of people who are happy with Colin Kaepernick were freaking out about Tebow kneeling in prayer. https://t.co/XJ6MJ9bTiE

— Mostradamus (@molratty) September 24, 2017

"Wait, we haven't shamed Christians over the NFL yet. I got this" https://t.co/zw6s3YW67q

— Dan (@danieltobin) September 24, 2017

Sports, like our flag, used to be the one thing that united every race, gender or religion.

— Federalist Musket (@Patriot_Musket) September 24, 2017

Yes, we see the evidence for this in ESPN's stellar ratings and the overwhelming demand for Kaepernick. He'll be removed any day now. https://t.co/WMRDTya5hS

Why is everything a fight? If people do a thing you can't abide, stop watching them do it. Eyeballs = money. It's all BS personal gripes now

— BoonaticRex (@LunaticRex) September 24, 2017

'Should not be allowed'? This is exactly why the ENTIRE federal govt needs to be brought to heel. Every branch, Republicans and Democrats. pic.twitter.com/YIdgUiUFQg

— CDP □⚾□ (@cdpayne79) September 23, 2017

A sitting President suggesting that a private business fire someone over political opinions should horrify every single American. https://t.co/pxKYJZprU2

I don't see a player taking a knee;I see a huge middle finger when I see a player taking a knee during the Anthem @PolitiBunny □

They are free to kneel for any reason they wish, but brave? Serious? Real risks? Gimme a break. https://t.co/qxQ99XT7PS

— J.R. Holmsted (@JHolmsted) September 24, 2017

I didn't even want the NFL players wearing pink shoes, towels and mouth pieces.#TakeAKnee

This group is so dang smaht, there are always a number of tweets that we just can't pass up. The best of the rest!

Or like a lesbian defending Sharia Law. https://t.co/A69KB1Fqy7

— Marc Logic (@marcannem96) September 20, 2017

Acts of courage and love don't always end the way we wish they would, but it doesn't make them any less courageous or loving. https://t.co/tbBneOOm1V

— Dan (@danieltobin) September 23, 2017

All chaps are assless. If chaps had asses they'd be trousers. Also, pleonasm is my favorite word. And 'assless chaps' is a fine example.

Free speech protections *only* exist for unpopular speech. If it were popular, it wouldn't need to be protected.

— Alex F. Baldwin (@VerumVulnero1) September 20, 2017

Basing your entire existence on everything Trump did or didn't do, and said or didn't say must be an exhausting way to live.#Emmys

— Federalist Musket (@Patriot_Musket) September 18, 2017

It's just about Confederates, they said. Don't overreact, they said. https://t.co/k8TRFyzeYv

— J.R. Holmsted (@JHolmsted) September 18, 2017

Reminder that regardless who's in charge large govt agencies are by their very nature incompetent. https://t.co/Svvp4UdJhw

I just googled, "Is Hillary the President?". Nothing changed. @MisfitsPolitics

I will never #TakeAKnee. I am American. Any other American is free to bow down, but I kneel for no man.
