One news nugget from this week worth noting

Democrats attacked journalist @mtaibbi for reporting on the government colluding with powerful interests to suppress speech

Most corporate media was totes cool with it

Totes? Are you still in junior high school?

tHrEaTs To DeMoCrAcY. Apparently, yes, he’s still in junior high school.

Some of the responses:

What the hell is the last sentence?

Generally speaking it’s weird to hear a U.S. Senator use a word like “totes” just to seem normal and human

It’s a junior high school thing.

Two news nuggets – you’re still an insufferable, attention-seeking toolbox

Totes? Too many beers at Spring Training, huh?

You’re still an election denier. Your phony populism charade is crude

Matt who?

In your world, is the only good journalist the one who only reports the news you like and not the complete story?

Yes. This has been another edition of Short Answers to Simple Questions.

Why do you tweet like a teenager? Are there any serious Republicans?

Fire whatever intern wrote this

I’m apparently not down with the lingo that the “cool kids” are using this year. You’re an attorney? WTF are you talking about?

How is your drivel on my feed??? Go away

“Totes cool?” I thought you had to be at least 30 to be a Senator.

Heh.

You remain, as ever, full of the rankest, most rancid shit.

Did your teenager get ahold of your phone? Clown.
