After President Donald Trump alluded to controversial former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick a “son of a b*tch” during a rally in Alabama, Twitter exploded.

“Trump used harsher language to describe Kaepernick than he used for the Neo-Nazi who killed Heather Heyer,” Christiana Mbakwe‏, a writer for “The Daily Show with Trevor Noah,” tweeted. 

“Colin Kaepernick is a real patriot and a fantastic human being,” another user wrote. “Donald Trump is a tool and a traitor.”

Others, like activist-journalist Shaun King, mused about how unusual (and dangerous) it is for a sitting president to use that type of language.

“The POTUS said son of a b*tch on primetime,” one user noted. “What a time to be alive.”

According to Politico, three more senators met with Pentagon officials for a classified briefing Wednesday about encounters pilots are having with unidentified aircraft. It seems the Pentagon is getting more and more requests by officials with high clearances to figure out what's happening.

The crafts are, at their most basic, nothing more than "unidentified aircraft," and while it isn't likely they're little green men, there are some senators who might have concerns about whether these UFOs are actually a foreign adversary.

In a blistering editorial, the Wall Street Journal is asking President Donald Trump what the point of a second term is since he hasn't done anything in his first term.

During his rally in Orlando Tuesday, Trump repeated the same tired lines and same tired policies from 2016. The "Promises Made, Promises Kept" slogan shown over the crowd, yet the supporters didn't understand the irony.

"The most striking fact of his speech was how backward looking it was," the editorial board said. "Every incumbent needs to remind voters of his record, Mr. Trump more than most because the media are so hostile."

On Wednesday, New York Times publisher A. G. Sulzberger wrote a blistering editorial in the Wall Street Journal, saying that President Donald Trump's latest attack on his paper "crosses a line."

First it was the "the failing New York Times." Then "fake news." Then "enemy of the people," wrote Sulzberger. "President Trump's escalating attacks on The New York Times have paralleled his broader barrage on American media. He's gone from misrepresenting our business, to assaulting our integrity, to demonizing our journalists with a phrase that’s been used by generations of demagogues. Now the president has escalated his attacks even further, accusing the Times of a crime so grave it is punishable by death.
