Social Media WTF?!

Ad For MAGA Dating App Is So Incredibly Bad It Has Social Media Roaring With Laughter

The announcement was practically breathless, declaring, “The wait is finally over!”

The wait for what? For MAGA/conservative/right-wing dating app The Right Stuff, which announced itself to the world with an ad so terrible that Twitter can’t stop laughing.

Mediaite notes the seven women who appear in the ad say they really dig that “alpha male vibe.”

One woman says she is interested in a man who is “masculine,” while another wants a right-wing suitor who puts his family first.

“Personally, I like the alpha male vibe,” says one bachelorette looking for love.

Each agreed on one thing: absolutely, positively no Democrats.

The Right Stuff has this to say about what they’re trying to do with their app:

The Right Stuff brings people together with shared values and similar passions. Discover new people while swiping on our fun, full screen experience. Stop sweating the small talk, start with a date in mind. You can respond directly to amazing date ideas or create your own for even more matches.

Shared values? Does that include insurrection, rioting, and Klan rallies?

Women can join the site for free. Men have to pay for the “honor” of joining The Right Stuff, which of course is a direct steal from the title of the famous Tom Wolfe novel about the American space program.

The site also makes it clear it doesn’t want anyone from the LGBTQ community joining its ranks:

“And by the way, those are the only two options, ladies and gentlemen. You’ll start off by building your perfect profile, no pronouns necessary!”

How quaint and bigoted. As you’d expect from those who hate anyone the least bit different than them.

Twitter wasted no time leveling the karma of the new dating app.

Hard to decide which is worse, the app or the ad.

Crime Donald Trump Espionage WTF?!

Former FBI Official Believes He Has Proof Trump Moved Classified Documents To Another Location

A former top official with the FBI said Saturday that new photographic evidence seems to suggest disgraced former one-term president Donald Trump deliberately moved classified documents from his Mar-a-Lago resort to his Bedminster golf club just three days after the federal government contacted him about failing to return requested materials.

According to Mediaite:

On Saturday morning, Meidas Touch posted an intriguing video from last year, writing “Video from May 8, 2021 shows Trump boarding a jet from Florida to Bedminster with multiple boxes bearing a strong resemblance to boxes of top secret materials found at Mar-a-Lago. On May 6, NARA had contacted Trump’s team saying documents were missing and may be at Mar-a-Lago.”

That video was taken exactly three days after Trump had been notified he needed to return the documents he had in his possession:

May 6: National Archives and Records Administration contacts Trump’s team to say some high-profile presidential documents appear to be missing. “We know things are very chaotic, as they always are in the course of a one-term transition,” Gary Stern, the agency’s chief counsel writes to Trump lawyers. “But it is absolutely necessary that we obtain and account for all presidential records.”

The resurfaced video led Peter Strzok, a former FBI agent and official, to weigh in on Twitter.

Then others shared their thoughts on the video and the timing of when those boxes were being moved.

Andrew Weissmann, who served as lead investigator for Special Counsel Robert Mueller during the Russiagate probe, noted:

To paraphrase a line from the classic 1975 film “Jaws,” You’re gonna need a bigger search warrant.

Congress Donald Trump Impeachment WTF?!

Trump Thought He Could ‘Sue’ Congress For Daring To Impeach Him: Report

After the House of Representatives voted to impeach failed, one-term former president Donald Trump in 2019 for pressuring Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate Hunter Biden, the son of his Democratic presidential rival, Joe Biden, the clueless Trump wanted to sue Congress for taking such an action, even though impeachment is clearly spelled out in the U.S. Constitution.

That, according to HuffPost, is one of the revelations in a new book from New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman, Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America.

“I’ll just sue Congress. They can’t do this to me,” Trump said, according to excerpts from Haberman’s book.

And that’s not the only head-shaking moment in Haberman’s book.

There was also a scene in debate prep when Trump humiliated himself, which seems to be the only thing he excels at.

The book also details comments by Trump during preparation for a debate in which former Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus ― while pretending to be a transgender student ― asked the then-candidate if she could use the girls’ bathroom, CNN reported.

“I have a question, cocked or decocked?” Trump reportedly asked before receiving “blank stares” and making a “chopping gesture.”

“With cock or without cock?” he continued.

Confidence Man will be released on October 4.

Conservative Pollster Warns Steve Bannon: ‘People Are Less Likely To Vote For A Republican’

Mark Mitchell, a pollster who works for the conservative Rasmussen polling organization, warned Thursday that recent surveys show that American voters are “less likely” to vote for a Republican candidate than they were just a year ago.

During an appearance on former Trump administration adviser Steve Bannon’s “War Room” podcast, Mitchell noted that President Joe Biden’s poll numbers had risen considerably over the summer and Democrats have also made up significant ground in the generic congressional ballot. Once down by as much as 10 points, the two parties are almost even.

Mitchell also told Bannon:

“Look at the question. If the midterm elections were held today, would you vote for the Republican candidate or for the Democrat candidate for Congress? And, you know, when somebody loses a lead like that, it’s a referendum on the party. Right?

“So, people are very concerned about all these topics. They look around and they see a lot of problems with the economy and they’re worried about being able to make their rent payment or whatever.”

The pollster added:

“But they are less likely to vote for Republicans — I think that’s a very clear signal — than they were a year ago. Much less likely than they were a year ago.”

Remember that “red wave” the GOP was promising at the beginning of the year? The wave now seems to be turning blue and could be disastrous for Republicans because Americans know they cannot be trusted.

Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Husband Files For Divorce – Says The Marriage Is ‘Irretrievably Broken’

Perry Greene, the husband of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) filed for divorce on Wednesday in Floyd County Superior Court, stating the reason for ending the marriage of 27 years was because it was “irretrievably broken,” according to The Hill.

Interestingly, Perry Greene also requested that the court seal all of the divorce proceedings, “because the parties’ significant privacy interest in sealing the records outweighs the public’s miniscule interest in access to said records.”

Further, the filing also notes “sensitive personal and financial information” will likely be revealed in case, “which would negatively impact the parties’ privacy interests.”  

According to Perry Greene, the couple has already separated.

Responding to the dissolution of her marriage, the congresswoman released a statement which reads:

“Marriage is a wonderful thing and I’m a firm believer in it. Our society is formed by a husband and wife creating a family to nurture and protect.

“Together, Perry and I formed our family and raised three great kids. He gave me the best job title you can ever earn: Mom. I’ll always be grateful for how great of a dad he is to our children.”

The main reason for Perry Greene’s divorce filing may have something to do with reports that the congresswoman has allegedly been unfaithful to him on several occasions, as Bess Levin of Vanity Fair reported in 2021.

Marjorie Taylor Greene allegedly (had) a pair of affairs with guys she met at the gym. One of them, according to the tabloid, was Justin Tway, who became the manager of the Alpharetta, Georgia, CrossFit gym where Greene was on staff and worked out. The other was supposedly Craig Ivey, a “polyamorous tantric-sex guru,” according to the Daily Mail, who has posted at least one Facebook photo of himself stark naked in front of waterfall doing yoga.

Twitter had a field day with the divorce filing.
