Chelsea Handler got schooled after failing spectacularly at dragging Donald Trump Jr. down on Twitter Monday afternoon.
The self-styled liberal activist (shown above right) revealed one of her fondest wishes.
She wished that Don Jr. would “flip” on his father.
“I can’t wait for Donald Trump junior to flip on his father. That’s going to be awesome,” she opined.

It’s probably better that she not hold her breath on this notion of hers, however.
Don Jr. — reacting to the message from the rarely funny 43-year-old — wielded the tweet machine to throw some cold water on Handler’s public fantasizing.
In other words — he doled out his own stinging reality check.
“I’d say stick to comedy but you weren’t funny enough to avoid cancellation of your Netflix show. Stay away from politics — no reason to suck at two things,” he wrote.

Handler’s eponymously titled Netflix talk show, “Chelsea,” was canceled last fall, having survived only two seasons, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The streaming service tried moving the show from a daily to a weekly format in the second season, but even that didn’t make it worth saving.
That had to leave a mark.
Handler, of course, has made no secret of her hatred for the current sitting president. In fact, her mission in life, as shown by her comments on social media, is to advance the liberal agenda with her version of what could loosely be considered “comedy” in some circles.
On Tuesday, Don Jr. took a second swing at Handler, reminding her of an unfulfilled vow to relieve us of her presence if Donald Trump was elected president of the United States.
He encouraged Handler to make good on her promise, adding that there is really no excuse for her to stay in the country any longer. Take a look:
Hey Chelsea, now that your show is canceled it’s not too late to make good on your promise. Really no excuse for you to stay anymore.

(Promises, promises … )
Earlier this summer, on Independence Day, Handler again took to Twitter.
Unlike most patriotic Americans, she was not expressing her love of country.
Instead, she apologized to the world for President Trump, saying, “He doesn’t reflect all of our views — and we hope you know that the majority of us are ashamed,” as Newsweek reported.
No, actually.
The majority of patriotic Americans, despite the delusions of this individual indicating otherwise, are not ashamed of their president. That one is all you.
To every country on the 4th of July. We’re sorry about our president. He doesn’t reflect all of our views—and we hope you know that the majority of us are ashamed. We will rally each other and come back to the world one step at a time. #novemberiscoming #alsosorryabouthotdogs

When epic smackdowns like this one play out on social media, the virtual stadium is always packed, and things often quickly get rowdy.
This one was no exception.
