Mike Huckabee thinks America will only benefit from Donald Trump having more characters to defend himself on Twitter … and sounds like Huckabee thinks it’ll prevent another covfefe. We got the former Arkansas governor and two-time…

Tina Fey and Cake Yelling: See Twitter"s Mixed Reactions!
Before the news broke that Steve Bannon was leaving the White House to spend more time with the other three Horsemen, the biggest political news of the day was Tina Fey"s Cake Sketch from SNL"s Weekend Update.
We"ll be honest — we watched it more than once this morning.
In the video, Tina Fey devours a sheet cake in a frighteningly messy manner while roasting Trump over his horrendous response to the Nazi rally and terrorist attack in Charlottesville that left one dead and dozens more injured over the weekend.
Trump"s initial weak response was bad enough, but to double down on saying that maybe some Nazis are decent folks days later was monstrous.
Personally, I responded to that bewildering press conference by walking to get ice cream with my roommate. According to this bit of sketch comedy, Tina Fey had a similar idea — to cope by devouring an entire cake.
The video has received a mixed reception, however, as some perceived Tina Fey"s skit as suggesting that people shouldn"t counter-protest when Nazis come to town. Tina does basically say that, but it"s part of a skit and some aren"t convinced that we"re supposed to read that as genuine advice.
Others see the entire skit as a parody of people choosing to be inactive in the face of evil. Satirizing people who just "sit out" of conflicts isn"t the same as promoting that way of thinking, right?
Twitter was pretty divided, but here"s what people had to say:
1. First, someone who worked with Tina
Honestly, we might try out some cake yelling. But with friends, and with tidy slices.
2. High praise …
Like the rest of the world, JK Rowling has to keep up with US events even though she’s a Brit.
3. More cake talk …
When you haven’t had cake in a really long time, all of this cake talk gets to you
4. Lady Gaga spoke up
A lot of people feel frustrated and powerless and turn to comfort food. The stars: they’re just like us!
5. Grilled cheese is nice
All that we can think about with this is Kristen Stewart comparing heterosexuality to eating grilled cheese.
6. Tina Fey got some criticism, though
And people stepped up to defend her

Emoji Movie Mocks Handmaid’s Tale, Much to Twitter"s Chagrin
The Emoji Movie tells the story of a fictional city called Textopolis that is hidden inside of all smartphones.
Each emoji has only a single facial expression, except for Gene, an exuberant emoji with multiple expressions.
We won"t spoil the rest of the film for you, except to say that this really is the basis for an actual movie.
In promoting the unusual cartoon, producers Tweeted a photo of an emoji wearing the outfit of a main character from Hulu"s drama The Handmaid’s Tale… and Internet users were simply NOT having it.
Not when The Handmaid’s Tale centers on a totalitarian state that treats women as pieces of property.
Scroll down to see what critics had to say about this misguided parody…
1. The Tweet That Started It All
Blessed by the Emoji? You should not have gone there, The Emoji Movie.
2. What is The Handmaid’s Tale About?
The Handmaid’s Tale tells the story of society in which women have no rights and are literally given to men to be used as breeding machines. This is why the parody didn’t go over well on Twitter, as you’re about to find out…
3. Take It Away, Twitter!
Elisabeth Moss stars on the Hulu drama, so you can be damn sure she has something to say about this mockery of it.
4. There’s a Lot of Rape on the Show
The folks behind The Emoji Movie may not be aware of this.
5. We All Know the Answer to This Question
It’s no.
6. Is It Too Late to Delete That Tweet?
Nevermind. This is the Internet. You can never really delete anything.
