Tweeted Letters From 'Civil War' Mock Trump's Impeachment Warning: LOL


“Dearest Annabel: The president we so eagerly defended is a cabbage head. He is all hat and no cattle. We are out of covfefe.”

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/twitter-mocks-trump-civil-war-letters-from-the-front_n_5d927e59e4b0ac3cddad56f5

Harvard law professor John Coates argued on Twitter that the veiled threat was itself an impeachable offense. --snip--

And the chilling specter of violence was no joke to the radical right-wing OathKeepers, who appeared to be spoiling for a fight (which apparently wasn’t a violation of Twitter policy).--snip--

But lots of Twitter wits decided humor was the best way to cope and launched the viral hashtags “Civil War 2” and “Civil War Sign Up” — including some mock letters home from an imagined conflict. They also kicked off “Civil War Potluck” for what Americans could bring to the fight.

My sides hurt. I could barely see through the tears in my eyes because I was laughing so hard.

Democrats are the funniest, and obviously smartest, people in the world!

The TT Brigade has been directed to station themselves at strategic corners to provide emergency rations to our infiltrating LatAm battalions. Tecate supplies are running low and troops are being forced to consume Corona instead. Don't know how morale will stay high, but will continue on best as they can.

I am of the camp that thinks there will be - let us call them - incidents. Of some kind.

It helps.


BTW-- I would like to recommend the Pillows and Blankets episode of the show Community to those who enjoy this sort of humor.
