WHINE WEDNESDAY: Van Orden’s Twitter Use Wrapped Welcome to Whine Wednesday with Derrick Van Orden, America’s fiercest keyboard warrior. We comb through the hundreds of tweets DVO posts during a week so you don’t have to. Grab a glass and join us for Whine Wednesday! MADISON, Wis. — Van Orden has had quite the head-spinning week as evidenced by his 120 tweets. From complaining about the woke mind virus to being triggered by an instrumental song, you can find all the highlights (or lowlights) of Van Orden’s online presence this past week below. DVO’S DADDY OF THE WEEK: The woke mind virus This week, Wisconsin’s hardest working congressman was, as always, laser-focused on the issues that matter most to Wisconsinites: defending them against the “woke mind virus,” and personally offering condolences to the world’s richest man over the “loss” of his child to the virus. His son — who is actually his daughter now — is alive and well. All she did was come out as transgender. Never one to miss an opportunity to suck up to his ultra wealthy mega donors, Van Orden just had to offer his condolences to Musk. We are begging — genuinely, on our knees

Carnie's Comments It's time again for Twitter Tuesday! I feature the best from the best of the Twitterati. After a weekend of snow and rain, this guy shares, "I've never found a windshield wiper setting that truly satisfied me." A funny gal I follow Tweets, "Can you believe these times are still unprecedented?" This guy, "It's very rude to interrupt me when I'm procrastinating." If you have a cat this one's for you, "My cat brings me things when she wants to play and then immediately runs off with it and hides it and we never see it again. It's quite a game we play." This one from first thing this morning, "Live, laugh, love? How about give up and go back to bed?" I like this, "A burglar breaking into my house would eventually just sit down and ask how I’m surviving." And one more, "To whoever stole my camouflage jacket and my flip-flops, you can hide but you can't run."
