It's toxic tweet day

Two outbursts, from markedly different people whose noteworthy common trait is being utterly unfit for the offices they hold, are generating a lot of buzz on social media today.

The Very Stable Genius spewed this forth on his way to the golf course:

The New York Times and a third rate reporter named Maggie Haberman, known as a Crooked H flunkie who I don’t speak to and have nothing to do with, are going out of their way to destroy Michael Cohen and his relationship with me in the hope that he will “flip.” They use....

....non-existent “sources” and a drunk/drugged up loser who hates Michael, a fine person with a wonderful family. Michael is a businessman for his own account/lawyer who I have always liked & respected. Most people will flip if the Government lets them out of trouble, even if....

....it means lying or making up stories. Sorry, I don’t see Michael doing that despite the horrible Witch Hunt and the dishonest media!

Haberman wrote the also-buzz-generating NYT piece about how the VSG has humiliated and berated Cohen for years, a classic alpha male-beta male scenario. The "drunk / drugged-up loser" is Sam Nunberg, who, it can't be denied, did make quite a spectacle of himself a few weeks ago in a series of television appearances in one day.

But it wasn't just Nunberg. Longtime close VSG associate Roger Stone and former VSG attorney Jay Goldberg are also quoted in Haberman's story:

 

Interestingly enough, Trump pal, Roger Stone, was quoted in the piece and it was no less damaging than that of Nunberg’s comments, but it doesn’t appear Trump zeroed in on him.
Oh, wait – All Stone said was that Trump goes out of his way to treat Cohen like garbage. What’s Trump going to say? That’s not true?
And while Nunberg is suggesting that Cohen has leverage over Trump, he’s not the only one.

Other longtime Trump associates have notably made similar comments about the threat Cohen poses to Trump. He recently spoke to Jay Goldberg, his lawyer in the 1990s and early 2000s, for guidance on the recent fallout and criminal investigation involving Cohen, and according to the Wall Street Journal, Goldberg told Trump that Cohen is not be trusted because he “will never stand up” for him if pressured by federal prosecutors. Goldberg also said the prospect of Cohen being compelled to testify in tandem with the documents obtained by the FBI poses a bigger threat to Trump than special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation.

Everybody is talking about Cohen “flipping.” Nobody is saying there’s nothing to flip on.

Classic VSG.  He manages to work "third-rate" and "loser" - applied to two different people into his Twitter puke. All that's missing are "failing" and "fake."

And it's a load of hooey that he never has contact with Haberman:

Actually, Trump has spoken with Haberman quite a bit, often calling her from his personal cell phone.

Hard leftists know how to smear people, too. Kamala Harris said this about federal bench (Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals) nominee Kyle Duncan:

Remember the Hobby Lobby Supreme Court case where corporate bosses argued for the ability to block their employees' access to birth control? The lead lawyer was Kyle Duncan.

She wasn't done:

Kyle Duncan also tried to get the Supreme Court to reinstate a racist voter ID law that "targeted African-Americans with almost surgical precision."

And this:

Guess who was one of the attorneys petitioning the Supreme Court to uphold Louisiana’s ban on marriage equality? Kyle Duncan.

And this:

And, who is currently representing the creators of the North Carolina Bathroom Bill targeting transgender students? Kyle Duncan.

 

All right, let's take these one by one:

Hobby Lobby had not and has not any intention to block anyone's access to birth control. Go to your local pharmacy and get some. Simple as that. But it should not be covered by health insurance at all, and businesses that for religious reasons don't want to cover it should not be forced by the government to do so.

We all know the instances in which a person is required to show an ID in the course of daily life, including to get on the floor of a DNC convention.

There's no such thing as "marriage equality" because it's impossible by definition for two people of the same sex to be married.

People with gender dysphoria - "transgendered" people - need help, not access to bathrooms for the opposite sex.

I do have to say, Kamala knows how to pack a plethora of identity politics into a few short tweets.
