If you follow me on Twitter you know me as @PolitiBunny. If you’re not following me there shame on you … ok, just kidding, because Twitter is a cesspool of awful that I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy, let alone you, dearest reader. Don’t get me wrong, it is a necessary ‘tool’ in today’s political circus and one of the best ways to connect with like-minded people and form a movement. But with that comes the bots, trolls, and crazies.
I keep thinking there is a ‘Wizard of Oz’ tie-in here, ‘Crazies, and bots, and trolls … OH MY!’
Now, people who are gluttons for punishment who follow me on Twitter know that part of my entire ‘existence’ there is dealing with stupid. It’s just something I’ve always done and if I’m being honest, it’s gotten me to where I am today. Long ago, when I first started talking with the ‘bigs’ about working here they said if people hate me enough to write about me, then I’m doing something right.
And HOOBOY, do they ever write about me.
So, I thought it would only be fair if I took some time here and there to highlight some of the dumbest, most pathetically hilarious tweets, encounters, and takedowns I’ve seen/had in the past week. And if this takes off and you guys like it, I’ll try and do one every week.
Sort of like a ‘Top 10 Douchebags of the Week’. Hey, if you know you know.

- 10. Crazy people shrieking at me for pointing out the Right is not filled with fascists and Biden is the actual fascist … there are a bunch so I’ll just include a few:
half the country aren't fascists, but all republicans are. and the only people who talk about "mean tweets" are trump apologists.

Do facts hurt your fragile feelings? 🤔

Ugh, this is so dumb. They so badly want us to have our feelings hurt. I know, we’re not dealing with the best or brightest on the Left but c’mon.
Those drugs must be awesome

Yes, I’m totally the drugged one and not the botox-filled puppet up there pretending to be president.

Ted Cruz wants to defund the FBI. https://t.co/ygkNUm5TWB
— MeidasTouch (@MeidasTouch) August 30, 2022
And of course, if you watch the entire video (which MeidasTouch obviously did NOT) you realize Cruz never said anything about defunding the FBI. Even CNN’s Daniel Dale fact-checked this as weaksauce.

- 8. Rachel Vindman whose claim to fame is being married to that one guy who hated Trump
Kristina Wong is an awful hack always trying to make a name for herself.
— Rachel Vindman 🌻 (@natsechobbyist) August 28, 2022
Breitbart’s Kristina Wong has been reporting on the probability of the FBI looking for Crossfire Hurricane documents in their raid of Trump’s home, and when some other sunflower-emoji troll attacked Wong, Vindman chimed in about her being an awful hack trying to make a name for herself. The irony is that nobody would know who Rachel is without her husband, and of course, she’s an awful hack.

- 7. Kathy Hochul telling Republicans to get out
Unelected NY Governor Kathy Hochul Tells Republicans To ‘Get Out’ Of New York, ‘You Don’t Represent Our Values’ https://t.co/SYvzIbzAmw
— Sean Hannity (@seanhannity) August 31, 2022
This is very similar to Biden calling tens of millions of Americans semi-fascists and painting them as violent and dangerous to deflect from how crappy of a job he, his admin, and Democrats have done in the past 20 months.

- 6. Liz Cheney – ok, this one is personal but she still sucks.
Understanding @tedcruz isn’t difficult. He lacks principle and has always been a chameleon who will say anything, anytime. He thinks he’s so smart no one can see through him. Ted, we can. All of us can.
— Liz Cheney (@Liz_Cheney) August 30, 2022
It’s been weeks now that Liz Cheney not only LOST in Wyoming but was completely and totally HUMILIATED. Since then, she has pretended to care about Wyoming while trashing members of her own party so the people who spent decades hating her will like her for a little bit longer. Going after Ted Cruz now? What, is the Trump-hate not bringing in the support like before, Lizzie?

- 5. Ben Collins and all mainstream media painting anyone who opposes Biden as a dangerous fascists
I sure did! https://t.co/4IPWZwpJ86
— Ben Collins (@oneunderscore__) August 31, 2022
You can see why I called Ben Collins out by name. Serious douchebag energy here. I’m not at all surprised about the mainstream media taking Biden’s ‘Trump supporters are fascists’ narrative and running with it … honestly, I’d be more surprised if our pals in the media weren’t water-carrying DNC propagandists.

- 4. KJP – Illegal Immigrants aren’t ‘walking across the border’
Karine Jean-Pierre Claims Illegal Immigrants Are Not ‘Walking Across The Border’ https://t.co/mTFIf0hw5N
— TheLeoTerrell (@TheLeoTerrell) August 31, 2022
No really, she said it. Karine Jean-Pierre said illegal immigrants aren’t walking across our border. HA HA HA HA. Dude, if I don’t laugh, I’ll never stop crying. Someone want to show her the footage? There is a TON of it considering millions of them have literally walked across the border since Biden took office.
Look, Jen Psaki was awful, but Karine is starting to make her look like the best press secretary ever.

- 3. Swalwell’s big threat
A staffer of mine—who’s 1 month into her job—received a call from a man saying he’s coming to our office w/ an assault rifle to kill me. I hesitate to share this but how else do I tell you we are in violent times, & the architects are Trump & McCarthy. Bloodshed is coming.
— Rep. Eric Swalwell (@RepSwalwell) August 30, 2022
If you’re a consistent Twitchy reader (and you better be!) then you know Eric Swalwell is always coming up with some new phone call threat claiming violence against him. Welp, now he’s claiming a gay man (not sure why this was important but eh, it’s Eric) called his office and left a message with one of his aides that he was going to bring an assault rifle to Swalwell’s office and kill him. Because you know, so many gun owners famously use the words, ‘assault rifle’ when talking about their firearms.
Also, why post this on Twitter and politicize it? Just call the police, ya’ doofus.

Peter Strzok is truly a boil on the butt of humanity. Thank that’s ’nuff said.
- 1. Biden Biden Biden! The hardest part of picking Biden for this week’s number one post is selecting which tweet, video, etc. to highlight. THERE ARE SO MANY. But after giving it some thought I think I’ll go with this one:
NOW – Biden: "For those brave right-wing Americans… if you want to fight against the country, you need an F-15. You need something little more than a gun." pic.twitter.com/ce3BJEEo7G

This guy is the leader of the free world.
Let that sink in for a minute.
You’re welcome.
Ok, that’s it for this week! Let me know if you enjoyed this and I’ll make it a weekly thing. If not, I’ll just sit and cry.
I will, ya’ know.
