The Twitter Week in Review
(Because The Campaign Never Ends On Twitter, Either)
[Here’s a review of the week just past taken directly from the @GDBlackmon Twitter feed. If this gets a good response, we might just make it a weekly feature. Enjoy.]
It all started with a really tedious football game. Unfortunately, things only went downhill from there…

Sean Davis sums up the fake news media double standard on reporting sexual abuse scandals…
It sure is interesting to see which evidence-free sexual assault allegations the Washington Post will publish and which allegations it tries to cover up. https://t.co/Ad6DA3j8tb

When you’re running for president and nobody notices…
This has been up for 3 weeks now, and you have less than 400 retweets?
You are pissing up a rope. https://t.co/hu23Y1k32Q

But…but…but the fake news media and their Democrat masters assure me this is not an “emergency”…
This is the reality for why we need a wall. Dems don't want you to see this. We don't just have a border crisis, we have a drug crisis in this country because of the unprotected border.@tancredo_tom @SheriffClarke @JenLawrence21 @TheAmandaShea @KrisKobach1787 @DustinStockton pic.twitter.com/cHCV2mgUKX

In case you missed it because your fake news media buried the story…
Breathtaking list. https://t.co/1qD042VMM3

Speaking of #fakenews, didja know that Columbus caused Climate Change? *sigh*…

That time Democrats wouldn’t support a law banning the killing of live-born babies…

Wise lawyer advice: Never ask a question you don’t know the answer to in advance. Nobody informed Senator Spartacus Jazz Hands…
JUDICIARY HEARING GOLD
Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ): "Have you ever had any LGBTQ law clerks?"
Neomi Rao: "Senator, I've yet to be a judge. I don't have law clerks."

James Woods knocks another one right out of the park…

Brit Hume is worth following on Twitter as well…
Because what they actually support is indefensible. https://t.co/80SXkHqufK

Why yes, yes she is lacking in the most basic common sense…
Without fossil fuels, millions of people would have frozen to death in the Midwest last week – not some imaginary catastrophe in 12 years which exists only inside her head.
Is Alexandria lacking the most basic common sense?

And we’re just now getting to the State of the Union on Tuesday – what a week!
Don't get me wrong, I'm all into the strong-woman applause going on, but it has to be said that it is a little sad that the first thing House female Democrats really chose to celebrate here tonight was .. . themselves.

ICYMI, I live-streamed the State of the Union, and all the critics agreed it was epic…

If @AOC has her way, the nation’s schools will soon be filled with girls with nicked-up legs from using those “safety” razors…
Yesterday I visited a school assembly w/ teens in Queens.
One of them asked, “What can WE do to combat climate change?”
2 recs:
– Skip disposable razors+switch to safety razors
– Give your tummy a break! Skip meat/dairy for a meal (easiest is bfast, I do banana & peanut butter) pic.twitter.com/BnAg4x5lGS— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) February 5, 2019
Trump just keeps waving that darn magic wand!
But…but…Barack Hussein Obama assured me that these jobs were never coming back!:

Then that whole “Green New Deal” thing got dropped, and hilarity and embarrassment quickly ensued…

…but it didn’t work…

Oh.
The FAQ's released by @AOC 's office regarding the "Green New Deal" include the following passage: "We set a goal to get to net-zero, rather than zero emissions, in 10 years because we aren’t sure that we’ll be able to fully get rid of farting cows and airplanes that fast"
— John Roberts (@johnrobertsFox) February 7, 2019
But hey, they fixed it!
The latest version of FAQ's on her blog has removed the "f" word in favor of "emissions from cows"
Holy cow

Goebbels would have been so darn proud of this bunch…

And finally, the end came for the most embarrassing talking points document ever created by a federal officeholder..

But enough about that – let’s end this weekly review with an elected Democrat hilariously lying about socialism (which, come to think of it, is what the Green New Deal is all about, too)…
Democrat Senator Jeff Merkley (OR) tries to define socialism: "Well, it is a society coming together to increase the standard of living of our seniors, and that is pretty much the definition. And the president's attacking it." pic.twitter.com/YYp1IF69KM
