Why Ann Coulter is trending on Twitter this morning (no, she didn't die).

The fighter of anyone and everyone she wants to fight seems to have recognized Lizzie's Never surrender ways. A little professional courtesy from one confrontationalist to another.

daskol म्हणाले...

Agree with Coulter. I said this in the debate megathread yesterday:

BTW, back when I was predicting Warren would rise above this field of midgets, some tall, I severely overestimated her political skills. I’m very glad for that because even in overestimating her powers, she’s still the most dangerous spokesperson for the very worst possible ideas imaginable for our country. Everything she’s done and suggests is bad to catastrophic for us. Dear lord.

RNB म्हणाले...

Did Coulter tweet something else? 'Cause what's there is not an endorsement of Warren. More like the opposite.

henry म्हणाले...

anything for clicks. Warren won't get the nomination.

JPS म्हणाले...

Ms. May thinking this is an endorsement is pretty funny too.

Not a big Coulter fan but her tweet calls to mind the old quadrant scheme, attributed to various German generals, about where to assign officers. The punchline is that dumb and industrious is a really dangerous combination.

MadisonMan म्हणाले...

Not only does she have many plans, but implementation is done by bureaucrats who are not accountable to voters. So many reasons to dislike it!

rhhardin म्हणाले...

Elizabeth Warren doesn't have plans. She's a woman. It's just national honeydo lists.

Beth म्हणाले...

That’s an endorsement? These people are lunatics.

Given that her Medicare for All plan was less credible than Bernie Sanders', to the point it had to be withdrawn, she doesn't have the credibility to tell anyone she's detail-oriented.

Princess Rests with Bitchface is being way way way too optimistic if that's her actually MO.

17 crazy ideas a day! That's 6,205 crazy ideas a year! Despite her Cherokee work ethic I think even that is too optimistic. What is she? Cosmo Kramer!?!

365 crazy ideas - one per day - is more than enough for Americans to handle.

Jeff Brokaw म्हणाले...

That was an endorsement?

Sure, if you’re delusional or don’t understand the plain meaning of words... I guess... whatever Karen.

The Cracker Emcee Refulgent म्हणाले...

It’s an endorsement for Prog totalitarians. Those less eager to goose-step may interpret it differently. Warren doesn’t scare me, though. She’s exactly the kind of person the mass of Americans instinctively love to frustrate. It’s virtually a national pastime. You have to catch the virus for the antibodies to get to work on it.

Meade म्हणाले...

"So it seems that Sanders has locked up the primary votes of almost all Trump supporters. Memo to Dems..."

Ann Althouse म्हणाले...

I can't believe some of you don't see the reason for calling this an "endorsement" of Warren. For people who want lots of left-wing things to get done, what AC said is true of Warren works as an endorsement. Obviously, AC doesn't want these things done. Just because YOU don't want lots of left-wing things done isn't a reason not to understand the reasoning of people who do. Bleh. I shouldn't be explaining this.

stevew म्हणाले...

True, I'm not getting the humor either. Sarcasm? Humor isn't well communicated in print. And if you have to explain the joke, it's a poor one.

Smirk worthy, not laughing funny.

CJinPA म्हणाले...

It helps to understand if you have a Twitter account and read all the trending #AnnCoulter posts. Then it's clear why they are saying this is an endorsement. It's also clear why Warren can win Twitter but not actual elections.

Here's what AC posted one hour before the "endorsement":

My position used to be: Women shouldn't be able to vote, but should be able to run for office (hold jobs, own guns, etc). After watching Sen. Warren, I'm reconsidering the running for office part.

I thought THAT was why she was trending.

Ann Althouse म्हणाले...

There's a difference between understanding humor and being amused. I am thoroughly unamused, but I do understand the humor, both of Ann Coulter and from the lefties who are riffing off of her.

Amadeus 48 म्हणाले...

The mass hysteria (in all senses of the word) of the Demmie party has begun.
From the Oxford Dictionary:

"Hysteria is a psychological disorder (not now regarded as a single definite condition) whose symptoms include conversion of psychological stress into physical symptoms (somatization), selective amnesia, shallow volatile emotions, and overdramatic or attention-seeking behavior."

If that doesn't describe the Demmies and the MSM (but I repeat myself), what does?

That Coulter could "light up Twitter" on the theory that a sarcastic, lame wisecrack she made about Elizabeth Warren was actually an endorsement shows that some people out there are desperate for a savior and will believe anything. How can Joe Biden be getting any votes at this point? Answer: the alternatives are worse.

There is an honest and searching discussion that could be had about Trump, his policies, and his behavior. His opponents have wandered so deeply into the Orange Man Bad swamp that they will never get out.

The Demmies are doomed. What dummies!



AllenS म्हणाले...

Me thinks that Ann Coulter was being sarcastic. No endorsement of The Fake Indian.

Ralph L म्हणाले...

I noticed that May did not include Coulter's actual tweet, so there's no link to AC.

Jeff Brokaw म्हणाले...

So sorry I missed “the humor”. But I did save lots of time on the front end by ignoring all of these ridiculous people and their stupid ideas, and have not wasted many hours watching their clown car debates, so there is that.

Gusty Winds म्हणाले...

I get the humor that the left has spread this as an "endorsement" this morning. The funniest thing is realizing the desperation behind it.

Bloomberg's attempts at humor last night were a disaster. He's worse than Arthur Fleck. I find Bernie to be naturally funny, in a train-wreck sort of way.

clint म्हणाले...

A lot of Trump's early support was that he was being viciously attacked by all the right people.

For the left, Ann Coulter is definitely the right people. Her mockery is a badge of honor.

tim maguire म्हणाले...

Limited blogger said...Sanders getting elected president is not worrisome?

Sanders would be an ineffectual president. His election would have one salutary effect--it would return at least some legislative power to the legislature. Which means his nomination would would intensify the battle over the House and Senate.

Rory म्हणाले...

"I can't believe some of you don't see the reason for calling this an "endorsement" of Warren."

But it's not an endorsement of Warren. It's just saying that she's worse than Bernie.

The Cracker Emcee Refulgent म्हणाले...

“Just because YOU don't want lots of left-wing things done isn't a reason not to understand the reasoning of people who do. Bleh. I shouldn't be explaining this.”

Cracker, please.
I have no doubt most people understood this. I wonder if you didn’t understand their dismissal of the “humor” because it was such a lame attempt at a gotcha. Living among all that Madison Prog earnestness may have dulled your ear for the simple “fuck off”s of more prosaic folks.

tim maguire म्हणाले...

stevew said...

Consider that what the right hates about Warren's programs the left loves. To the left, the reason Coulter gives to vote against her is actually a reason to vote for her.

purplepenquin म्हणाले...

Ann Coulter has stated that due to their poor decision-making abilities when it comes to politics that women shouldn't be allowed to vote. If what she says is true, then why should we listen to what this woman says about politics? And if it isn't true, then why should we listen to what this lying liar has to say about anything?

Amadeus 48 म्हणाले...

Coulter is an erratic, wisecracking show-off who wrote a pre-election book called "In Trump We Trust" that made the NYT Best Sellers list in September 2016. Later, probably because she wasn't getting much attention anymore, she staged a one-sided lover's tiff with the Trump presidency. See https://www.newsweek.com/trump-has-screwed-his-voters-repeatedly-ann-coulter-trump-we-trust-author-861021

Does her feeble slap mean she is gone onto the reservation with Warren? Well, it got her some attention, so she loved it. Biden will probably call her a pony-faced Trump trooper with far more accuracy than anything else he has said recently.

But who cares?

J. Farmer म्हणाले...

Not thinking something is funny is not the same thing as "missing the humor."

"SHE'S the freak who will show up with 17 idiotic plans every day and keep everyone up until it gets done."

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” C.S. Lewis

Dems predictably consider this a feature, not a bug.

@Fernandistein:

^^ Ann Coulter: "[Sanders] stole that idea from @Steve_Sailer."

Bernie Sanders was interviewed on Desus & Mero, a late-night show on Showtime, and when he made that proposal, I immediately thought, "Hey, that's Steve Sailer's idea." For those who don't know, Sailer has long suggested that reparations be delivered in the form of allowing blacks a monopoly on legal marijuana sales.

Greg Hlatky म्हणाले...

Warren falls under the Hammerstein-Equord class "industrious and stupid".

Coulter isn't a woman. Didn't you know that?

stevew म्हणाले...

Good point tim maguire, that had occurred to me but I just wouldn't put it in the humor category. Both Coulter's and May's comments are biting, snark to me. To which I smirk. Ooof.

Fernandinande म्हणाले...

I am thoroughly unamused, but I do understand the humor,

Do you really think that anyone didn't understand the feeble attempt at a joke (that 17 plans a day might appeal to the "step in and do something" crowd) which wasn't worth repeating?

Elizabeth May walks into a bar and the bartender says "That's not funny."

Coulter has most certainly not been erratic. She has consistently been on the side of a hardline stance on immigration and believe that Trump has not lived up to expectations on issues like the border wall and DACA. Coulter was one of the earliest to say that Trump had the best chance of becoming president back in June of 2015.

Fernandinande म्हणाले...

blacks a monopoly on legal marijuana sales.

I think Sanders' idea was more inclusive: "anyone except white people."

The Navajos opened a hemp/CBD store and immediately arrested the staff, then released them and the store was open again that afternoon. They're pretty efficient that way.

Rory म्हणाले...

What would be an unintentional endorsement? I could kind of see one for Bernie in Coulter's statement, in that people of differing views could say, "I can get behind getting nothing done."

Nonapod म्हणाले...

I find both Warren and Sanders to be dangerous midwits. They're both full of ideas, all of them old and bad. It's impossible to say which of them would be more destructive as president since they appear to be mirror images policy-wise. Sure, Warren seems to have more of them, but they amount to the same thing. I don't care how many permutations and combinations of bad ideas are put forth, they're still bad.

As I've said before, I don't subscribe to the notion that either a hypothetical President Warren or Sanders would be hamstrung by congress due to the simple fact that I believe that in a world where either one could be elected president 1). It's unlikely that the Senate would be retained 2). Even if it the Senate was held I think there's enough squishy RINOs who would cave 3). If we're in a place were people are really that unhappy with the current state of affairs that such radicals could be elected, then the general popular will would be on their side and of course the media would be on their side.

Thankfully at this point it seems pretty unlikely that either will actually become president.

True, but I think on the show I was watching he just said blacks. I could be wrong, though, it was back in October.

We are screwed because we are a nation of idiots and takers.

“Democrats are waking to the prospect of a nominee who wants to eliminate private health insurance, raise taxes on the middle class, ban fracking and put government in charge of energy production, make college a taxpayer entitlement, offer free health care to illegal immigrants, raise spending by $50 trillion, and tag every down-ballot Democrat with the socialist label.”

Amadeus 48 म्हणाले...

J Farmer--probably a lame comment on my part.

Coulter could plausibly, if rudely, be described as horse-faced.

She certainly, if sporadically, rah-rahs for Trump, and therefore could be plausibly, if rudely, be described as a Trump trooper (also, soldiers in cavalry units are called troopers), that is, a soldier for Trump.

Our former VP famously called a voter a "lying dog-faced pony soldier." Riffing off Biden, I was speculating that it was only a matter of time until Biden called Coulter a pony-faced Trump trooper.

Then, responding to your defense of Coulter's consistency, I said, why should I wait for Biden to say it, I'll say it. Coulter is a pony-faced Trump trooper.

GingerBeer म्हणाले...

A stinging endorsement.

JML म्हणाले...

That was trolling, and if trolling is humor, then half the clowns who post here are failed comedians, and the other half are scary clowns.

Reading between the lines: Not all that post here are clowns, and I don't pretend to be a comedian, and if I was, I would fail at it. Good comedy is hard. I also don't like clowns, though on occasion I am accused of being one.

See...Newsweek for an accurate explanation of conservative thought? Come on.

Her tiff is over one subject, the singular subject of Trump's election: Immigration.
She argues, persuasively I think, that nothing else matters if immigration isn't brought under control. The reason for the tiff is quite clear and understandable.

Ohh. I get it now ;)

When I first read it, I thought you had confused Biden's "dog-faced pony" for Bloomberg's "horse-faced lesbian." So hard to keep presidential candidates' insults straight. But I still wasn't quite sure how both applied. I know explaining jokes is no fun, but thanks for clarifying.

JPS म्हणाले...

Prof. Althouse,

"I can't believe some of you don't see the reason for calling this an "endorsement" of Warren."

I wrote something different than what I meant, and therefore fell below your better-than-nothing threshold for comment quality.

Endorsement I get, sure. It's the "unintentional" and "hilarious" that don't work for me, for the very reason that the tweet does work as an endorsement: Coulter and the left have very different ideas about what's good or idiotic policy. The "joke" amounts to saying, "Ha ha! Ann Coulter just said Elizabeth Warren will work hard! She'll feel like such a fool when she realizes."

"Cocaine Mitch" - now there was a hilarious unintentional boost given to a political adversary.

Completely agree. Winning over Ann Coulter and Tucker Carlson to the nationalist right agenda were major victories. Both question GOP orthodoxy on immigration and foreign policy.

Jeff म्हणाले...

Nonapod "I don't subscribe to the notion that either a hypothetical President Warren or Sanders would be hamstrung by congress" is right. To assume that Sanders would be an ineffectual President because he's an idiot is to forget the importance of the people a President brings in with him. There's a reason we call it an Administration. When we vote in a new President, we're also voting in hundreds of new political appointees from deputy assistant undersecretaries to Cabinet members. And putting competent people on the White House staff can easily compensate for whatever personal deficiencies the President himself has.
A Presidency is more than just the President.

The thing about Coulter is she recognized this a long time ago. I give her credit for not getting distracted by other issues. She is relentless about busting on Trump about the minimal wall progress.

Does that make Sanders-Warren a dream (nightmare) ticket?

Sanders will be lucky to make it through his first term. Warren might sense that and take the VP slot if offered.

Yet, I don't think Mrs. Bernie will like that outcome. Sander's wife seems overly involved in Bernie's every move, quite literally guiding him around.

I think Mrs. Sanders has high ambitions for herself, if only the woman behind the man, and would not be willing to share that with someone as prominent as Warren.

Trump would be wise to make Mrs. Sanders an issue if Bernie gets the nomination.

Amadeus 48 म्हणाले...

Prediction--within two months after the election--Trump winning in a landslide-- Trump will propose common sense immigration reform, saying, approximately,

"Our success leads to success. We have brought America back, and to go on to even greater heights, we welcome those who want to come here legally and are committed to support themselves and and make America greater. I am announcing a new immigration plan, with streamlined procedures and vastly expanded opportunities for those who can qualify, including those at entry level jobs. America has always been the land of opportunity."

Talk to any employer in the healthcare, hospitality, and other care-worker industries. We have run out of potential employees. Wages are rising in an way that will lead to a cost crunch like no other, if employees can be found. Trump spent a career in the construction and hospitality businesses, and he knows what needs to be done. He has always been in favor of legal immigration, hasn't he?

By the way, the Newsweek article was just a convenient place to read the Coulter snark. Newsweek is worthless--sorry--it was sold for a buck--it is almost worthless.

Coulter and the other know-nothings need to be ready for a change, although I don't think it will really be a change.

Oh, brilliance abounds, sure. Amadeus indeed concisely explained his comment, step by step (I didn't immediately understand what he meant, either). Althouse's comment about missing the humor didn't clarify anything for me-- evidently (as I discovered, having spent more time on this post than I really wanted to), @_ElizabethMay blocks me on Twitter so I couldn't read her and had to work from Coulter's tweets, none of which I could make into any sort of endorsement ironic amusing or outrageous of Senator Warren: no fault of Althouse there, obviously.

rcocean म्हणाले...

Althouse should have a written a warning label underneath the Coulter Tweet:

Warning: This is sarcasm. Please consult your dictionary if you are confused.

Coulter is spot on - as usual. Warren is one of those awful busybodies who have the energy of 10 men, and the common sense of a child. I've seen this type in Corporate America. They are gang-busters is they are subordinate and provided with firm intelligent leadership. They are a disaster if put in charge.
