Stephen King decided to take a shot at Dan Bongino on Twitter and it was hilarious, no matter which side of the aisle you are on, you can find something to laugh at in this exchange.
Twitter is the wildest place. If you have ever been on it you understand what we are talking about. Complete nobodies will talk to celebrities and politicians and just destroy them but the most fun is when 2 well-known people get into a ‘Twitter Tussle’ and we get to watch it.
Shots were fired by both King and Bongino and honestly, we had to laugh at both of them.
It started out with an innocent but accurate tweet about President Biden.
Biden is a disgrace to humankind. An embarrassment to the human race in every respect.

We can not disagree with the fact Biden IS an embarrassment to the human race. We are with Bongino all the way.
For some reason, Stephen King decided to step in and it is pretty hilarious as well.
Yes. But he’s got a real job, not a podcast.
😂— Stephen King (@StephenKing) May 10, 2023
HA! Ok King may not realize it but putting the YES in front means he agrees that Biden is an embarrassment to the human race. HE IS, but did King mean to imply he agreed with that part? Either way, LOLOLOL!
Bongino responded with another insult to King.
OK. we were all in with this response until the get a job part. LOL Stephen King whether we like him as a human being or not, has made millions on his books and movie adaptations of those books. He might be retired but he did have a job.

Just for the last sentence, we rate that comeback as a C+. Without the job sentence, we would have given at least an A- because people do not care much about King anymore. His books got to be rehashes of his old ones after a while and Gerald’s Game may be one of the worst books this editor has ever read, and we have read A LOT of books.
Twitter users who were not as famous as King or Bongino weighed in and they just added to the hilarity.
At least the libs are finally acknowledging they voted for a geriatric buffoon. Take this as a win @dbongino https://t.co/2lF4VRZdns

HA! We agree. We are not even sure if King realized he did that which makes it even more hilarious!
Ouch. I thought we ended this 'podcast isn't a real thing' talk back in 2007 or so. https://t.co/0hSkIdSDnl

A lot of people have podcasts, and Bongino’s is successful. We think it makes it a real job.
On one hand: Haha! Good one Stephen! On the other hand: HEY! Wait a second mister… https://t.co/R2vicA9NSJ

We snickered because if you check that person’s bio he works on a podcast. It looks like he wanted badly to celebrate King hitting Bongino but realized it was a hit to himself as well.
Ever since the checkmark debacle, it's felt like King's Twitter was given to someone else. This is like the second or third "you're just a podcast host" tweet I've seen from this account. It doesn't feel human anymore, checkmark or not https://t.co/DFwAd9mT6o

Stephen King has been a nutter for a long time, even before Twitter, we think Twitter just allowed him to display it to the public! heh.
Being a politician for over 50 years is far from having a real job, Steve https://t.co/b7dOu9YSdG

They have a point …
Podcasting and writing books are closer to ‘real jobs’ than being a career politician, but that is just our opinion. 🙂
Tell that to Joe Rogan. I think he would disagree with you. Are there any days that you DON'T sell crazy on Twitter? https://t.co/kMzmMDlKKN

Joe Rogan does kind of OWN the podcast space and we think he proves it is a real job. And to answer the tweet, there are not many days the King is not proving himself to be a psycho on Twitter.
Writing fiction = job, making money podcasting = fake job
I’ve always loved King, but boy is this a bad take https://t.co/lTr1TmUyKi— Clayton Jones II (@justhappy2cu) May 11, 2023
It is pretty silly. As we said at the top, we think they are both real jobs but we got a kick out of the interaction anyway.
Interaction of the year! https://t.co/nXmVWT3V1o

YES! We are only in May and have a lot more of the year to go, but when well-known personalities fight on Twitter we get a kick out of it.
This interaction was great, and while King is nuts and the bar is low, we give the win to Bongino. We do wish he had taken out the job sentence but a win is a win no matter what.
