The Tweet is Undefendable

[Haumana]

Scott Adams had an amusing deadpan take on the tweet.

Did anyone mention that Mika fired the first shot by saying he had a small dick, I mean small hands? I might have missed if they did. The whole thing is top shelf absurdity.

Sums up what the political left is missing about these tweets.

On the other hand, perhaps everything is going exactly as planned:

According to Nielsen’s second quarter ratings, MSNBC’s total viewers are up 73 percent year-over-year, with prime-time viewership up 86 percent, easily making it the fastest growing cable news outlet.

Anchor Rachel Maddow has become a cultural icon on the left while also attracting a younger audience of viewers. MSNBC’s share of the coveted 25- to 54-year-old demographic grew 78 percent in prime time over last year. Their prime-time audience has nearly tripled since second quarter of 2014.

. . . But CNN has still grown 25 percent in total viewers and 10 percent in prime time year-over-year.

. . . Fox News is still the front-runner in the cable wars, despite shake-ups that roiled both its prime-time line-up and executive suites.

Fox’s audience grew 19 percent between 8 p.m. and 11 p.m., as viewers tune in to watch Tucker Carlson or Sean Hannity rail against the news media on a nightly basis.

Explain the correlation. I could see people tuning in to catch a reaction but that wouldn't explain the bump so much as all the new fags obsessed with politics now.

Could be number-massaging by the media.

Remember, Trump has only been in office for 7 months.
They're citing a lot of year-over-year data, and zero "past seven months" data.

So . . . could be bullshit and obfuscation.
Or . . . it could be that Trump and the Media have formed a beneficial relationship through mutual animosity.

I could see a causation there if you put it like that tbh

Or, people are scared and are tuning in, despite the clownshow, for some hint of what's coming.

If "people are scared", then the problem lay with them, not reality.
Which explains why they would exodus in mass quantities toward the media - he bastion of American un-reality.

Weakness is no virtue.
Claiming victimhood is no virtue.
Being "scared" because "media reasons" is not only no virtue, it's a personal moral and intellectual failing.

People are scared, folks!

You never know what Trump's tweeting might do next.

We just got through eight years of a guy raised in communism getting pegged by his tranny wife while persecuting non-progressive Americans left, right, and center. But -- OMFG -- how will we survive the late night tweets???
