Social media has gotten a lot of flack recently, with claims that it makes us self-centered and that too much of our own self-worth hinges on what people think of us on the internet. Then again, not all of us are Michael Cohen. During the presidential race, Cohen hired someone to run a Twitter account calling him their “Man Crush Monday” and continually saying he was attractive. That’s hilarious to think about. Someone sitting and hiring someone to run an account just so people think they’re a “sex symbol”? But, when you break down the sadder aspect of it, it shows the underlying problem that many people have with social media in the first place. Our self-worth often relies heavily on who liked our picture or how many followers we have on Twitter. Social media has a wonderful ability to connect us, bring us together, and show us what’s happening in the world, but it also breeds hate and jealousy and often leads to a disruption in our … [Read more...] about Michael Cohen Paying for a “Women for Cohen” Twitter Account Is Hilarious and Sad in Equal Parts
‘Put a Fork In It, Old Man’: Legal Twitter Absolutely Torches Giuliani Over CNN ‘Collusion’ Claims
Wednesday night, President Donald Trump‘s lawyer Rudy Giuliani appeared on CNN’s “Cuomo Prime Time,” and discussed the idea of collusion with Russia during the 2016 presidential campaign. While Trump has spent years calling Special Counsel Robert Mueller‘s investigation of this a “hoax” and a “witch hunt,” Giuliani boldly claimed that he never said there was no collusion with the campaign, just that Trump himself didn’t collude with Russia to hack Democratic emails. “I never said there was no collusion between the campaign, or people in the campaign,” Giuliani said, adding that he has “no idea” if that was the case. He also claimed that Trump never made claims about anyone other than himself. This went against Trump’s entire “witch hunt” approach to the Mueller probe, which was never about whether Trump himself colluded, but whether his campaign did. Host Chris Cuomo … [Read more...] about ‘Put a Fork In It, Old Man’: Legal Twitter Absolutely Torches Giuliani Over CNN ‘Collusion’ Claims

Bill Shine’s Wife is Back on Twitter Talking Sharia Law, Attacking ‘Skanks’ and Chatting With Sandy Hook Truthers
After taking a brief Twitter hiatus last year over controversial posts, Darla Shine, wife of White House communications director Bill Shine, recently popped back up on the platform. Since rejoining, she has already warned that America will fall under Sharia Law in 50 years, attacked “pompous ass” CNN host Erin Burnett, and endorsed a social media boycott organized by a Sandy Hook truther. Shine’s history on the platform includes tweets alleging high autism rates among “black boys” and memes mocking African civilization. These comments were brought to light last July, shortly after her husband joined the White House, and led the new administration spouse to delete her account. However, since returning to Twitter, Shine has continued tweeting in the same fashion that led her to the deletion of her account in the first place. Among the questionable posts from Shine include her endorsement of an anti-Twitter “censorship awareness day” boycott … [Read more...] about Bill Shine’s Wife is Back on Twitter Talking Sharia Law, Attacking ‘Skanks’ and Chatting With Sandy Hook Truthers
