Why Are Anti-Maskers So Triggered?

Anti-masker triggered in Tucson, Arizona
Why are some folks so triggered by being asked to wear a face mask? Philadelphia’s CBS News affiliate reports a man punched a 17-year-old Sesame Place employee in the face after the teen reminded him to wear a mask while in the park due to COVID-19. The teen suffered a jaw injury and a damaged tooth. He was taken to St. Mary’s Medical Center in Middletown on Sunday and underwent surgery on Monday.

Obama Triggers Trump Over Economic Results

Former President Barack Obama took to Twitter on Monday to commemorate the 11th anniversary of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The $800 billion stimulus package paved “the way for more than a decade of economic growth and the longest streak of job creation in American history.” But the tweet apparently triggered Donald Trump, who constantly takes credit for the “greatest economy in the history of our country.” Trump frequently mentions the economy as he campaigns in his bid for reelection. A few facts from CNN: The average monthly job growth has declined from 224,000 during Obama’s last three years to 182,000 during Trump’s first three. The unemployment rate has fallen to 3.6% last month from 4.7% in January 2017 as Trump took office. Yet that merely continued the trend of the last six years of Obama’s term. Since Trump assumed the presidency in January 2017, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has risen by 47%, as of about 3 p.m. ET on Tuesday. During Obama’s second term, the Dow rose 44%.

That must make for interesting chit chat at the dinner table in the Conway home.

That said, Eric Trump, in another attempt to prove his less-than-stellar intellect, criticized George on Twitter calling out what he perceives as “disrespecting” Kellyanne’s place of employment.

This little episode began when George Conway responded to a Trump tweet calling out the

The code Conway cites is in regard to laws prohibiting witness tampering. Under 18 USC 1512(b) it is illegal to “cause or induce any person to withhold testimony.”

That seemed to have triggered young Eric:

Folks had a little something to say about that. Not only did Twitter users clap back at Eric, but Conway retweeted the shade.
