#MisfitMemo - Weekly Rewind - February 5, 2017

Rebecca de Winter

Welcome to the #MisfitMemo Weekly Rewind, a time where we take our favorite tweets and blog posts from the week and put them all in one place. Your one-stop place for Misfit Greatest Hits!

So take a seat, put your feet up, pour yourself a drink, and let’s get started.

Last week got off to a tragic start, with a shooting at a Quebec City mosque. As usual, the media jumped on it without any solid information whatsoever.

Too early to know if #Quebec mosque shooting was perpetrated by right-wing extremists. If it was, then this is result of Trump rhetoric.

President Trump fired acting Attorney General Sally Yates for "refusing to enforce a legal order designed to protect the citizens of the United States," according to the WH. She became an instant hero/martyr of the left. We were unimpressed.

The same people yelling about Kim Davis being required to do her job are probably yelling about Yates being fired from hers.

She does not have the discretion to decide not to enforce an exective order she doesn't like free of consequences. Crack a civics book. https://t.co/SvI1bbeOoG

Trump nominated Neil Gorsuch to fill  the U.S. Supreme Court vacancy on Tuesday night. Most conservatives were ecstatic. Liberals, in a totally shocking reaction (LOL), lost their minds, again (they keep doing this, it's kind of embarrassing at this point).

Most people heard a reasonable, articulate, humble statement from Gorsuch. Please commence your attacks, leftists.

Gorsuch didn't have his kids there, so Dems are going to have to savage them for something other than how they looked at the announcement.

Violent riots broke out at UC Berkeley ahead of a planned (then canceled) appearance by Milo Yiannopoulos. Far-left “Antifa” thugs caused $100,000 worth of damage to the campus. They set fires, broke windows, pepper-sprayed and beat Trump supporters, among other wholesome activities.

Remember, there's no culture war going on. https://t.co/xQbfUl3MbT

When I was in college "let's burn some shit" had a very different meaning. #BerkeleyRiots

Psst. This is why we have Trump.#UCBerkeleyRiots

TBF, fires in Berkeley would probably get rid of at least some of the communicable diseases that are floating around out there.

Sarah Silverman and Debra Messing bravely stepped up to the plate to be cheerleaders for the violent mob.

WAKE UP & JOIN THE RESISTANCE. ONCE THE MILITARY IS W US FASCISTS GET OVERTHROWN. MAD KING & HIS HANDLERS GO BYE BYE❤❤❤❤ https://t.co/Y2WZbL012A

— Sarah Silverman (@SarahKSilverman) February 2, 2017

This is a genius tweet. She encouraged the military to overrule election results AND calls someone else a fascist within 140 characters. https://t.co/iAqKiX0pjB

RESISTANCE WORKS! #Resist #NeverStop https://t.co/q4hiFQW69P

Will you take a selfie for the people harmed during these riots you are encouraging? https://t.co/iGaJrxZsul

— Rebecca de Winter (@BlazerMc88) February 2, 2017

So you're willing to incite violence without getting your own pretty nails broken in the process? So brave, Debra. https://t.co/iGaJrxZsul

Well, is this a fascinatingly new opinion, Sally?

It's always "them" mentality. Blah, blah, blah. #copyandpaste https://t.co/174gTQQUJ3

Democrats love America so much they decided to gamble on her future by pushing for the Republican nomination of a guy they think is Hitler.

At least Jimmy Carter had the decency to wait more than a few weeks before becoming the worst former President ever. https://t.co/eBPNlgFNVw

Violent left is driving people into the arms of Trump but all you can do is take a shot at conservatives. Not a serious person. https://t.co/UHhch2uufh
