Republican presidential candidate took to Twitter today to criticize Sen. Bernie Sanders saying he is “turning out to be a weak and somewhat pathetic figure.”
I’d remind you all that Trump has repeatedly begged Sanders’ supporters to vote for him.
Good luck with that, Donald.
There is no longer a Bernie Sanders “political revolution.” He is turning out to be a weak and somewhat pathetic figure,wants it all to end!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 24, 2016
Hillary Clinton’s social media team definitely has a sense of humor 🙂
• That time when CNN’s Phil Mattingly was reporting quotes from GOP White House hopeful Donald Trump, and Hillary Clinton dropped in for a sassy second.
• Remember when Hillary (like many NYers) had trouble swiping a Metro card in the subway?
Appreciate the congrats for being right on radical Islamic terrorism, I don't want congrats, I want toughness & vigilance. We must be smart!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 12, 2016
Republican presidential candidate was the recipient of backlash today on Twitter when he apparently took time for a humble brag about “being right” about something.
Twitter didn’t take to his insensitivity.
Once again, Donald, you have shown why you cannot lead us. 50 people are dead, and you bask in congratulations. https://t.co/pUN7ceAff7— George Takei (@GeorgeTakei) June 12, 2016
Trump is truly an awful person. https://t.co/vQp3CQ9Nmv— John Legend (@johnlegend) June 12, 2016
Is this the grossest tweet in Twitter history? Yes. I think it is. https://t.co/G8W6UlMyM0— Eric Stonestreet (@ericstonestreet) June 12, 2016
.@realDonaldTrump You're congratulating yourself because 50 people are dead this morning in a horrific tragedy?— Meghan McCain (@MeghanMcCain) June 12, 2016
.@realDonaldTrump FYI: turning worst mass shooting in US history into a Trump humble brag isn't smart. It's childish, arrogant, thoughtless.— (((Adam Mordecai))) (@advodude) June 12, 2016
@realDonaldTrump shut the actual fuck up. People DIED. It's time to mourn. Not radically brag, you insensitive sensationalized asshole.— Sophia Bush (@SophiaBush) June 12, 2016
.@realDonaldTrump And congrats on being the biggest dirtbag on the Internet – and in life.— Tweets by Collin™ (@TweetsByCollin) June 12, 2016
@realDonaldTrump Congrats on showing us you are even more deplorable than we already thought.— Sally Shea (@abundantpundit) June 12, 2016
In an oh-so-sly attempt to fracture the Democratic party come this November, presumptive GOP candidate Donald Trump has begun encouraging Sen. Bernie Sanders via Twitter to run this fall as an Independent due to his “unfair” treatment by the Dems.
“Bernie Sanders is being treated very badly by the Dems. The system is rigged against him. He should run as an independent! Run Bernie, run.”
Man, he’s a slick one, that Donald Trump.

Maggie Glenn, a Twitter power-user, shared a text argument she had with her Aunt Marie, who had called her a “faggot” and followed that up with a statement that upsetting Maggie wasn’t her intention.
Maggie’s comeback was pretty much a “scorched earth” approach. The tweet has been retweeted 39K times, and has 58K Likes.
It all begins so innocently – the fabulous Bette Midler tells a joke on Twitter:
Kim Kardashian tweeted a nude selfie today. If Kim wants us to see a part of her we’ve never seen,
she’s gonna have to swallow the camera.— Bette Midler (@BetteMidler) March 7, 2016
Miss Kardashian, thinking that she can drop a few cute bon mots responded to the Divine Miss M thusly:
hey @BetteMidler I know it’s past your bedtime but if you’re still up and reading this send nudes #justkidding— Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) March 8, 2016
hey @BetteMidler I really didn’t want to bring up how you sent me a gift awhile back trying to be a fake friend then come at me #dejavu— Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) March 8, 2016
The “gift” Kim refers to was a tree that Bette planted in Kim’s name as part of Bette’s New York Restoration Project, so, of course, Miss M wasn’t going to leave it there:
.@KimKardashian: I never tried to fake friend you. Looks like anyone can take a selfie but not everyone can take a joke…— Bette Midler (@BetteMidler) March 8, 2016
Adobo.com, a site that helps tenants find apartments, did an analysis of 12 million tweets ranging from June 2014 to December 2015, looking for slurs and other language which could be considered prejudicial against certain minority groups (African-Americans, Hispanic/Latinos, women, gays and lesbians, transgender people, etc).
The study found that the city of Buffalo, New York, uses the highest rate of anti-gay tweets.
Referencing the study, LGBT activist Margaret Smith told the Buffalo News, “What this tells me is there’s a lot of work to be done. This is about a lot more than marriage. We are our words. Tweeting is a little anonymous, as is online behavior. But right now, there’s lot of people on television giving lots of other people permission to be hateful.”
