I'm not sure if clicking the link will get you to them. But if any of you haven't seen this yet, some are hilarious! I put a DailyKos link to some too if the Twitter link doesn't get you there.

I have only time for a short note. We are preparing for another mandatory civility drill.
I had to laugh when I heard General De Niro say, "Fuck that!"
We fought a fierce battle against the red hats today. I fear my spittle drenched body may never completely dry out.
The horror of seeing even simple words massacred on hastily assembled poster board signage has scarred me.
Keep your chin held high my dear, everyone here believes this will all be over by the midterms.
your ever humble snoogums,

I DO have to ask...what are all the references to avocado this and that? Obviously, I missed the joke and must catch up.

(33,198 posts)It may have something to do with the avocado assault:
"Millionaire tells millennials: if you want a house, stop buying avocado toast"
"Australian real estate mogul Tim Gurner advised young people to solve their housing woes by putting their $22 a pop toast toward a deposit instead."

(16,254 posts)OK, I get it now. Thanks for explaining, as it didn't make one bit of sense.
I need to get away from these tweets, as I've wasted too much time reading them but they are like peanuts or potato chips...hard to put down. Very clever.

As we prepare to march from Starbucks, maybe for the last time, my thoughts go to your sweet lips, the smell of your long brown hair, your soft skin, fuck it I'll be home in a half hour.

I am not well, the MAGA disease has swept through our camp turning men against each other. The Red Hats are carrying tiki torches at the Battle of Covfefe, I fear this war will be more brutal than the Bowling Green Massacre.
Pray for us all.

The "red hats" could never, ever be this funny.

(15,552 posts)The real MAGATS wouldn't understand most of the humor since they are mostly humorless and, well, stupid. But I'm having the best laugh ever. These are hilarious.

(2,795 posts)I didn't see their #secondcivilwarletters at there are close to 3000 now But someone told them to stop trying because they just aren't funny. Probably because they are filled with hate and anger that people are making fun of them. True hate and anger just can't make for funny content.
