Tweets of the Week (7/31/16 - 8/6/16)

So, what happened this week? Donald Trump was rebuked by the VFW, President Obama tried to rewrite history, the Obama administration tried to explain away a $400 million ransom paid to Iran, the media continued to fawn over Hillary Clinton, and gun grabbers were very upset about Ginny Thrasher winning a gold medal.
Other stuff happened too, but it either wasn't very interesting or I was just too busy wishing that this election wasn't such a slow-motion car wreck to notice. Without further ado, here are my picks for best tweets of the week:
Dan @danieltobin
Woman brings home first gold medal. Liberal chastise her because it was for shooting. Because they are pro-women.

The General Election between Clinton and Trump is like what would happen if the NFL made the Super Bowl a game between the two worst teams.

I've been conditioned to loathe Hillary Clinton for 25 years. And I'm still not voting for her opponent.

How dare Hillary not take questions from journalists! Not all of them have gotten a chance to ask her how it feels to make history yet!

Go ahead and keep listening to the burn-it-down crowd then wonder why you ended up with nothing.

Please spare me the ringing hands afraid of #SCOTUS if you are attempting to displace an actual conservative from the Senate. #SorryNotSorry

"I know what'll help! I'll continue shitting on the disabled and talk about Megyn's periods again!" - Trump probably

Shoveling cash to Iran means people will die. That was money that will go towards terror around the world.

Sorry Trump supporters, you won't be really able to play the game by their rules because the referees are on their side.

Obama trying to rewrite 2012 as genteel pugilism against a respected adversary is funnier than anything Trump said this week

These same people trying to defend Trump went to the fainting couches for Rubio's NH debate and his hands comment.

Harold Stickeehands @StickeeNotes
Hillary's approach to attacking Trump is smart. She's using sympathetic outsiders to criticize Trump & letting his personality do the rest

I didn't even know the VFW could be lost. I'm serious. It never occurred to me someone would do something so stupid to get them riled up.

Mom who once got "disappointed" when I fought back against a bully just advocated "dunking Trump's head in the toilet several times". #2016

I never though that "which candidate has insulted families of dead soldiers more?" would be a presidential campaign issue, but here we are.
