Georgia Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene tried to attach her name to the death of legendary singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett, who died on Friday, but all she managed to accomplish was drawing attention to the fact that she’s one of the dumbest people to ever serve in the U.S. Congress.
Hours after it was announced that Buffett had died at the age of 76 from lymphoma, Greene posted this on Twitter:
Very sad to hear that Jimmy Buffet passed away.
Iโve spent countless times on my boat or dock listening to his great timeless music.
Prayers for his family and friends. RIP..
As a dreamer of dreams and a travelin’ man I have chalked up many a mile Read dozens of books about heroes and crooks And I learned much from both of their styles Son of a son, son of a son Son of a son of a sailor

Here’s a screenshot in case the congresswoman decides to go back and correct or delete her tweet:
Jimmy Buffet? His last name was BUFFETT.
It’s one thing to say you’re a fan, but it’s quite another to make such a claim and not even spell the deceased person’s name correctly.
Greene also failed to mention that Buffett was a lifelong Democrat who supported progressive causes and even made fun of failed former president Donald Trump, Mediaite reports.
The Late Legendary โMargaritavilleโ singer Jimmy Buffett once roasted then-future President Donald Trump at a Hillary Clinton rally headlined by then-Vice President Joe Biden.
The social media reaction to Greene’s misspelled post was also hilarious.
Failed one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump has bragged for decades that he’s a “great businessman” who built one of the biggest and most successful companies in the world.
The truth, however, is quite different from the Donald’s claims, as he has filed for bankruptcy multiple times, been in the verge of financial collapse more than once, and is now relying on his political supporters to pay his legal bills with contributions to a political action committee he formed to further fleece the MAGA sheep.
You may recall that in October of 2021, not long after he had been booted from Twitter for sharing lies about the 2020 election, Trump announced his own social media platform, which he dubbed Truth Social.
Truth Social was funded by in part by a start-up media venture with Miami-based Digital World Acquisition, which managed to raise $300 million from investors to get Truth Social up and running. All that remained was a formal merger between Digital World and the Trump Media & Technology Group (TMG).
That merger now seems doomed, meaning Digital World and its partner, Donald Trump, are about to be faced with returning that $300 million to investors, which would be the death of Truth Social, The Washington Post reports.
With the merger stalled for months, Digital World is fast approaching a Sept. 8 deadline for the merger to close and has scheduled a shareholder meeting for Tuesday in hopes of getting enough votes to extend the deadline another year.
If the vote fails, Digital World will be required by law to liquidate and return $300 million to its shareholders, leaving Trumpโs company with nothing from the transaction.
For Digital World, it would signal the ultimate financial fall from grace for a special purpose acquisition company, or SPAC, that turned its proximity to the former president into what was once one of the stock marketโs hottest trades. Its share price, which peaked in its first hours at $175, has since fallen to about $14.
Jay Ritter, a University of Florida finance professor explains that the company can’t keep extending the deadline for merger.
โThe deal does seem to be running out of time. You canโt just keep getting extensions forever.โ
As you’d expect, Trump is blaming the Securities and Exchange Commission for the delays, even going to far as to say the SEC has tried to โsabotageโ the merger for political reasons with โa bureaucratic black hole of inaction.โ
But the real reason for the endless delays can be laid at the door of Digital World and TMG, both of which have reportedly dragged their feet when it comes to being totally transparent with regulators who are simply trying to protect investors from being further fleeced by the Trump, who has a history of grifting.
It probably won’t surprise you to learn that Truth Social has itself been a failure, repeatedly missing its self-set goals for users, The Post explains.
Truth Social has attracted a relatively meager following. Though Trump Media projected in a 2021 investor presentation that the site would have 41 million total users by the end of this year, usage estimates from Similarweb, a data firm that analyzes web traffic, suggest it is a long way from reaching that goal.
According to Similarweb estimates, roughly 500,000 monthly active users in the United States visited Truth Social via its Apple and Android mobile apps in July, down from 600,000 in June.
Donald Trump is a failure at everything he attempts. He’s not a great businessman. He’s just a bullshit artist who knows how to lie to gullible fools.
Trying yet again to cash in on his many alleged crimes, failed one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump began hawking a new T-shirt on Thursday that he’s hopeful his supporters will fork over $34 to acquire as a way of offsetting his growing legal bills.
On his failing Truth Social site, Trump posted a video in which he held up the shirt and remarked, “You can go out and get it, have fun with it, but people do like it I must say.”
The shirt features the infamous Fulton County, Georgia mugshot of the disgraced ex-president, along with the message, “NEVER SURRENDER!”
Never surrender? The photo was taken as Trump quite literally surrendered, was fingerprinted, photographed, and released on a $200,000 bail bond. How do you “NEVER SURRENDER!” when you did exactly that?
Twitter users were only too happy to correct the disgraced ex-head of state.
Remember, that picture was only taken *because* he literally surrendered to law enforcement. https://t.co/a64ZUYQgmB
