Donald Trump Jr. Fails Miserably In Twitter War With Joy Reid

MSNBC commentator Joy Reid didn’t mince words on Twitter as she dissected President Donald Trump’s State of the Union speech Tuesday night.

In the process, she managed to irk Donald Trump Jr., who felt obliged to defend his dad against what previous administrations might have called “fair comment,” “free speech” or “First Amendment freedoms.”

The end result wasn’t so much a Twitter war as a social media massacre.

I know it keeps being said here, but MSNBC needs to get her on dayside, Mon-Fri in a prime slot. She does her research, knows what the hell she is talking about, and does not back down!

More Joy in the world!

Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings."

"But wait a bit," the Oysters cried,
"Before we have our chat;
For some of us are out of breath,
And all of us are fat!"
"No hurry!" said the Carpenter.
They thanked him much for that.

"A loaf of bread," the Walrus said,
"Is what we chiefly need:
Pepper and vinegar besides
Are very good indeed--
Now if you're ready, Oysters dear,
We can begin to feed."

I think Jr. probably stopped reading after this part -

The fun part is, Trump doesn’t actually embody any of the values he’s harkening back to. Faith? He panders to the religious far right but claims he’s never even asked God for forgiveness. Family? He has flouted his marriage vows with porn stars and is accused by multiple women of sexual harassment and worse.

collides with logic grounded in fact.

What next, will Jr claim he was viciously attacked and victimized by Joy?

That's why any argument on any issue with a Trump supporter should be occasion for an easy slaughter. All you get is spin and arguments based on verifiable lies.

I recently told a Trumpkin that Trump is for white rule. He accused me of being anti-white. No, I responded, I'm anti-white supremacy, but you're pro-white supremacy, which is ironic because you're a dumbass, and so is every white supremacist I've met. I'll accept I'm intolerant of dumbasses who think they're superior. Guilty as charged.

This is a game, to throw out complete horseshit in defense of the indefensible.

Braindead li'l donnie junior, tell us all about faith and family values. Tell us about you and your daddy's military service. And how law and order you all are, with your copious mob ties.

He is stupid enough to assume he could pit himself against Joy. Trump Sr, likely repeated the mantra of his excelled intelligence so frequently, Trump Jr is convinced that since he matches his dad's IQ, it applies to him too. They are both delusional.

Did you think that just maybe people would see Joy as having unfairly stained the intellectually-challenged.

You brought a rattle to a gunfight.
