The death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg prompted many kind tweets about her life and heartfelt wishes for her family.

Reza Aslan, a former CNN host of a religion show called Believer, lost his job for ragey tweets against Trump (like calling him a "POS"). He later said Nicholas Sandmann had a very punchable face. Now he's promising to burn it all down.

Finally, the first thought of "unhinged" can easily go to the Daily Kos, where senior political writer Joan McCarter was savagely attacking "monster" Mitch McConnell.
