Failed one-term, twice-impeached and multiply-indicted ex-president Donald Trump showed up at the annual Palmetto Bowl college football game between Clemson and South Carolina on Saturday, and based on the reception he received, it certainly looks like even the Deep South is ready to see him disappear from the political scene.
Video of Trump’s arrival at the game was posted on Twitter by Fox Carolina Sports Director Beth Hoole, who wrote, “Former President Donald Trump has arrived ahead of kickoff at Williams-Brice Stadium.”

At about the 10 second mark of the video, which has gone viral, you can clearly hear many in the crowd lustily booing the disgraced former president, and that led to plenty of commentary on social media.
Seems as if America is finally opening its eyes and noticing the dictator that Trump wants to be and are wishing him away! Thank God, we might not lose Democracy to the Nazis after all.
We shall boo him on the beaches, we shall boo him on the landing grounds, we shall boo him in the fields and in the streets, we shall boo him in the hills; we shall never stop booing him.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) got her headed handed to her by a Democratic colleague when she snarkily suggested that the Democrat was too old to understand the way legislation is advanced in Congress.
During debate on a funding bill to keep the government from shutting down at the end of the week, Greene rose and remarked:
GOP showboats like Greene don’t know the first thing about legislating. All they want to do is obstruct and lead insurrections. And Margie is among the very worst of them.
“My Democrat colleague across the aisle, who’s 80 years old and has been here over 30 years, just said we’re on the verge of a shutdown. She probably just forgot that a few hours ago, she voted for the continuing resolution that will extend the budget, and we are not on the verge of a shutdown.”
While Greene was correct the House had passed the funding legislation, Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) promptly gave her a lesson in how a bill becomes a law.
“It may be that the gentlelady doesn’t know that there is another body attached to the U.S. Congress called the United States Senate,” DeLauro said. “And they have to vote on the continuing resolution.”
“That may be a basic lesson in civics. There is the House. There is the Senate. And there is the president.”

In what was once known as “the greatest deliberative body on earth,” today, a Republican senator threatened to fight a union leader who was testifying before a hearing of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee.
Teamsters PresidentSean O’Brien was the witness, according to Mediaite, when Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) referenced several barbs the two men have traded in recent months.
For example, O’Brien posted this in June:
Greedy CEO who pretends like he’s self made. In reality, just a clown & fraud. Always has been, always will be. Quit the tough guy act in these senate hearings. You know where to find me. Anyplace, Anytime cowboy. #LittleManSyndromepic.twitter.com/JNvT7IsA6m
“Sir, I wish you was [sic] in the truck with me when I was building my plumbing company myself and my wife was running the office because I should remember working pretty hard and long hours. ‘Pretends like he’s self-made. What a clown, fraud always has been, always will be. Quit the tough guy act in these Senate hearings. You know where to find me. Any place, any time, cowboy.”
Mullin then added: “Sir, this is a time, this is a place. You want to run your mouth. We can be two consenting adults. We can finish it here.”
O’Brien: “Okay, that’s fine. Perfect.”
Mullin: “You want to do it now?”
O’Brien, accepting the challenge: “I’d love to do it right now.”
Mullin: “Well, stand your butt up, then.”
O’Brien: “You stand your butt up.”
As Mullin stood and started to take a ring off his finger, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) intervened:
“Hold it. Stop it. Stop it. No, no. Sit down. Sit down! You’re a United States senator!”
When O’Brien asked if he could respond to what Mullin had said, Sanders insisted he couldn’t, telling him, “No, you can’t. This is a hearing.”
Here’s the video:

An Oklahoma woman has gone viral thanks to her reaction at a school board meeting as the state’s education superintendent spoke angrily about “woke” policies and spewed anti-trans hatred.
According to HuffPost, Oklahoma School Superintendent Ryan Walters is about as far to the right as one can get politically short of changing his name to Atilla the Hun, and his rant was so over the top that one person in the audience couldn’t contain her disgust.
Walters tried to get in all the right-wing trigger words as he slammed a “radical, woke, activist judge” who he said is “pressuring” school districts to change birth certificates of trans students to match their gender identity.
“We see a lot of this coming from the Biden administration trying to force dictates onto our states and onto our individual schools,” Walters said.
As she listened to Walters, the woman shook her head and was visibly disgusted by what he was spewing. Finally, she could no longer contain her anger and flipped off the superintendent in clear view of the camera.

Social media users shared their delight with the woman’s reaction and disgust for Walters .
Sick, scared, and pathetic. Trans IS NOT CONTAGIOUS. Nobody can turn you, but if there was an anti trans vaccine, I bet all of you antivaxers would be begging to take THAT VACCINE.
1. .@RyanWaltersSupt collected 2 govt Salaries. How is that not illegal? 2. He is the Superintendent &Sec of Educ at the same time. 3. He makes $164k/yr + kickbacks . That’s more than what the governor makes 4. He put Oklahoma dead last #50 in education ranking.
Georgia Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene got an earful from one of her constituents at town hall she held in her district, and it all had to do with comments Greene made about Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY).
According to Radar Online, the black constituent asked Greene, “Do you know who Carolyn Donham is?”
When Greene admitted she didn’t, the woman continued.
“She was the woman who said that Emmett Till looked at her the wrong way, or said something to her, the way you did Jamaal Bowman,” she said. “You were on the steps of the Capitol talking about gun violence…”
The woman added, “I think you’re reckless. I think you’re reckless. You had no business saying, ‘Oh, he’s so big. Oh, I feel so, like, he’s gonna hurt me.’ It’s the same thing Carolyn Donham said that got Emmett Till killed, and that was reckless, and you did a reckless thing. And if anything happens to Jamaal Bowman, it’s going to be on your hands.”
Clearly taken aback by the woman’s comments, Greene finally responded.
“Let me ask you, were you in New York when he stood outside my car… and he brought a crowd around me? Were you there?” Greene asked. “No, you were not in New York City when that happened. It’s on video, it’s on video, and you may watch the video. And you can see how he cussed…That’s wrong. This isn’t about skin color. I refuse, I refuse for you to do that.”
After a few more seconds of back and forth, the majority of the audience stood and applauded Greene.

MTG mentions some Bowman video, forgetting that she herself was on video as an adult screaming about guns and accosting a child victim of mass gun violence.
