Greetings dear friends, and Happy New Year! Welcome to the first Weekly Rewind of 2017. We here at Misfit Politics are very excited, because we have a lot of fresh new ideas and features to share with you. Be sure to follow us at our brand-spanking new Twitter account at @MisfitsPolitics, bookmark our site at misfitspolitics.com, and email us anytime at [email protected]. Don't forget to scroll down to see our latest blog posts!

Here’s a peek at some of our shiny new features:

Misfit Mess Hall: This page is devoted to family and budget-friendly recipes. We have some amazing cooks on our roster, so this is a must-visit part of the site.

Old Man Yells at Cloud: Resident Misfit grouch Rex has a lot of problems with you people, and you’re gonna hear about it! Some things are really irritating and it can be fun to vent about them. Tag your pet peeves with #OMYAC to @LunaticRex and he’ll make sure your voice is heard!

Ask Alex: Do you have questions? Of course you do. Whether profound and deep, or silly and inane, the beautiful and brilliant Alex is your go-to girl. Shoot her a question at @VerumVulnero1 tagged #AskAlex and she’ll feature you in her column.

Misfit Podcast: Holy smokes are we excited! The Misfit Podcast is in the works - stay tuned and follow us at @MisfitsPolitics for updates, as we will be on-air sooner than you think!

OK, let’s get this party started. The New Year is already filled with drama, odd news and intrigue. Naturally we have a lot to say about it:

J.R. is pretty excited about things, to put it mildly.

We are charging into 2017!

The left is having fits about Obamacare. Mo is unimpressed.

"Obamacare has been a fascinating policy experiment." Not so fascinating to those whose premiums were hiked or who lost their plans. https://t.co/0TL7ERXwkf

It was reported that a Rockette cried through a 90-minute performance over her “trauma” at the idea she’d have to perform at Trump’s inauguration. ​

I have zero respect for women who sob on the job. Take that crap elsewhere and grow the f**k up.

I get yelled at and insulted regularly by opposing counsel and yet I still manage to do my job without crying. https://t.co/34kZ18uvIf

Chicago had the deadliest year in nearly two decades in 2016 under Rahm Emanuel's, uhh, leadership.

The New Yorker published a cartoon that struck a huge nerve, with an illustration of an angry mob on an airplane rejecting the “smug” pilot. It hit right in the heart of the recent anger at elites, and Twitter exploded into the usual outrage from all sides.

In one of the most explosive stories in recent memory, an 18-year-old special needs young man was kidnapped, bound, gagged and tortured by four attackers. Twitter was on fire, of course, but one especially revolting reaction made the rounds: conservatives scolding other conservatives, admonishing them to “calm down” and “wait for the facts”  - perhaps forgetting that the brutal torture was streamed live on Facebook. The fear apparently was that too much outrage would only encourage the Alt-Right. The Misfits were having none of that.

If you're the kind of person who scolds people for being enraged by the torture of a special needs kid, how about go fuck yourself.

— Rebecca de Winter ? (@BlazerMc88) January 5, 2017

We need to have a national conversation about our inability to talk plainly about evil. https://t.co/ATtKBkHJU9

— Mo Mo (@molratty) January 5, 2017

If you're afraid to speak up for a disabled kid bc you don't want to be grouped with a political agenda you're a coward.

— Dan ? (@danieltobin) January 5, 2017

I appreciate the wisdom of all the "wait and see" people out there. We really don't know if the special needs man provoked his torture.

— Andrew Lynch ? (@GentlemanRascal) January 5, 2017

"Sure, Pol Pot *looks* bad on the surface, but let's get both sides of the story before we call him any names we'll regret"

— Alex F. Baldwin? (@VerumVulnero1) January 5, 2017

That "kid" Dylann Roof was a hateful, murderous bastard. By video account, these "kids" were hateful, torturous bastards. Not hard, y'all.

— J.R. Holmsted ? (@JHolmsted) January 5, 2017

Don't be outraged, you might hurt somebody's feelings = left using your coddling to make a case against a fucking victim. https://t.co/ZA0WzNfIJq

— Dan ? (@danieltobin) January 5, 2017

The fixation on stopping political narratives and halting rage overshadowed the tragedy here. The victim is lost. https://t.co/JDJSgrsBe3

— Dan □ (@danieltobin) January 5, 2017

IDGAF who the perps were or who the victim was. The crime is heinous. That's enough for me to be repulsed. Police emotions elsewhere.

San Francisco resident and nutty liberal Melinda Byerley published a smug, condescending, and inadvertently hilarious screed giving advice to middle America. She oh-so-gently reminded them that “no educated person wants to live in a shithole with stupid people.” It got much, much worse. Hilarity ensued.

Your LinkedIn profile says you've never held a job longer than 18 months, but sure, tell everyone what employers want. https://t.co/ohWY8tC6YY

People shit on the street in SF. It's quite literally a shithole. pic.twitter.com/qBJpyF4UEC

Wonder what all the new "left wing cons" think of their new friend. Nice ally you've got here. https://t.co/2fzwPhSfGo

As always, we have lots of thoughts and ideas that defy easy categorization.

You mean like socialism and communism? https://t.co/TPoZEZIoht

Can't believe it's 2017 and there are still people who think Shaun King is black.

Clinton was an awful Secretary of State. And yet Kerry has managed the nearly impossible feat of doing worse.

I bet the American Working Class is super impressed with Obama's elitist celebrity bash at the White House.
