You have got to see J. K. Rowling's tweets on Groper Don the Con

There are a lot of things J.K. Rowling doesn't have time for on Twitter, and both Donald Trump and the angry opinions of Twitter eggs are high up on that list.

Following Rowling's three-tweet shutdown of the Republican presidential candidate on Monday, one such hapless egg made the foolish decision to question her.

Big mistake.

When a man this ignorant & easy to manipulate gets within sniffing distance of the nuclear codes, it's everyone's business. #RestOfTheWorld https://t.co/yHBIIuhYEN

"Gets within sniffing distance."

You really can't compete with that, can you?

society, which is in the end 'the people,' completing the circle that she received help when was needed.

It would have been easy for her to skate away and avoid paying her taxes, but she made a deliberate choice to contribute and improve her home country.

She also has long made the point that she did not want to isolate her children by limiting their contact to others in the same narrow, wealthy circle.

She gets it on every level.

Thank you, Jo, for everything!
