The perpetually offended Twitter mob took not one but two scalps this weekend. They got their knickers all in a twist regarding a truly funny prom picture former NFL kicker Jay Feely posted, and went bat shit crazy over an opinion that Shania Twain offered up during an interview.
What did Shania say that was so bad?
She would’ve considered voting for Trump.
“I would have voted for him because, even though he was offensive, he seemed honest,” Twain told The Guardian. “Do you want straight or polite? Not that you shouldn’t be able to have both.”
“If I were voting, I just don’t want bullshit. I would have voted for a feeling that it was transparent,” Twain added. “And politics has a reputation of not being that, right?”
It took about .000005 nano seconds for the pitchfork mob to engage.

Well bless their pearl clutching little hearts. Someone, who IS NOT A U.S. CITIZEN BY THE WAY, offered an opinion that the leftist minions don’t like. Therefore she must PAY!
And so, she apologized.
I would like to apologise to anybody I have offended in a recent interview with the Guardian relating to the American President. The question caught me off guard. As a Canadian, I regret answering this unexpected question without giving my response more context (1/4)

A day earlier, former NFL kicker Jay Feely posted this on Twitter.

I’m here to tell you that my husband and I laughed like loons when we saw his tweet. Not only that we had a …’now why didn’t we think of that??!!’ moment regarding our daughter! Did everyone else get the humor in the tweet and photo? Did everyone else look closely and see that both kids were getting a kick out of this? Quite a few rational thinking folks did. It’s a play on an age old joke involving fathers being protective of their daughters.
However, the leftist anti-gun feminist mob refused to see the humor and showed their true intolerant colors. There were the usual cries of GUNZ BAD! How unfeeling Jay was given Parkland and Waffle House shootings! Oh and the ‘how DARE you regard your daughter as property!’
I mean, we get the reference, but this was terribly out of touch with gun safety. And out of touch with not making that picture and night about you.

He is also apparently sending a message that he owns his daughter, and this kid better not trespass on his "property".

I tell you what, people have gone and done lost what little rational common sense they have left …that is if they had any in the first place.
Unfortunately, Feely apologized.
The prom picture I posted was obviously intended to be a joke. My Daughter has dated her boyfriend for over a year and they knew I was joking.
I take gun safety seriously (the gun was not loaded and had no clip in) and I did not intend to be insensitive to that important issue— Jay Feely (@jayfeely) April 22, 2018
You know what? The apologies should never have taken place. Especially since both apologies were somehow not good enough for the butt hurt humorless mob.
Actually many sane free thinking people find this appalling, which is why he apologized. Gun violence isn’t funny, nor are jokes that involve dads owning their own daughters like property.

Quite a few are still screaming at Shania for daring to offer an opinion that has been deemed unacceptable. Here’s the thing, the leftist mob has deemed that anyone’s opinion not approved by them is unacceptable and said person offering the opinion MUST BE SHAMED.
Shania is now experiencing the inclusivity and tolerance of the modern left.https://t.co/u2edoAnFww

Shania and Jay just experienced the Intolerance and exclusivity of the modern left. Yes, they sure do blather on about tolerance and including everyone …but that only happens when it CONVENIENTLY fits their mantra and politics.
Memo to the intolerant perpetually offended leftist Twitter mobs. You don’t impress me much. In fact, you don’t impress me at all.
this was terribly out of touch with gun safety
Since the firearm was unloaded and his booger hook was off the bang switch, AND it was pointed in a generally safe direction, you obviously have no idea what “gun safety” even is.
Actually many sane free thinking people find this appalling
Ummm, no. Not a SINGLE, SANE. PERSON. IN THE ENTIRE WORLD. If you found it appalling, that’s a clear sign you should discuss with your psychological professional upping your meds or considering institutionalization.
As to Shania, yes, she should have stood firm, as well. It’s working pretty well for Kanye. He’s been weathering the freakout storm over Candace Owens pretty well, it seems.
Oh, there was one “criticism” of Freely on Twitter that was at least funny. He said something about “the boy doesn’t have to worry, he’ll miss high and right every time.” At least that one was topical and not brain dead.
WE’VE got to quit apologizing to THEM. That’s a big part of the problem.
As a Canadian ,nothing irritates me like other Canadians apologizing for being Canadian. Shit on a goat…. look at the pathetic soy boy embarrassment that is ruining our country ,Shania. I would rather have an offensive leader than one who is an offence to his country.
