MSNBC commentator Joy Reid didnt mince words on Twitter as she dissected President Donald Trumps 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 wasnt so much a Twitter war as a social media massacre.

(4,338 posts)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 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."

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

(562 posts)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.

(1,202 posts)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.

You brought a rattle to a gunfight.
