Marjorie Taylor Greene Tries To ‘Explain’ Climate Change But Only Proves Her MASSIVE Ignorance

Gather ’round, class. Marjorie Taylor Greene is going to enlighten us all on the topic of climate change.

Yes, you read that correctly: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) decided she’d take to social media and explain climate change by dismissing it as something that just happens and is no biggie.

“If you believe that today’s ‘climate change’ is caused by too much carbon, you have been fooled. We live on a spinning planet that rotates around a much bigger sun along with other planets and heavenly bodies rotating around the sun that all create gravitational pull on one another while our galaxy rotates and travels through the universe. Considering all of that, yes our climate will change, and it’s totally normal! There is no amount of taxes or carbon reduction that will stop or tame weather events or climate change. But there are some very powerful people that are getting rich beyond their wildest dreams convincing many that carbon is the enemy and that if humans sacrifice enough energy producing things we can actually control the climate. Don’t fall for the scam, fossil fuels are natural and amazing. They produce an abundance of energy that we all need to survive along with more products than you can possibly imagine.”

What in the living hell does that even mean? The planet is spinning and moving while the galaxy rotates, so that’s why we have climate change? There’s dumb, and there’s Marjorie Taylor Greene dumb.

But something good did come out of Greene’s gibberish: The mocking replies.

Matt Gaetz: There Were No Mass Shootings When Automatic Weapons And ‘Cannons’ Were Legal

As the country reels from yet another mass shooting — this time in Louisville, Kentucky on Monday — Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) is suggesting that fully automatic weapons and “cannons” should be declared legal because when they were, mass shootings were nonexistent.

On his Firebrand podcast, Gaetz began with the right-wing’s favorite bullshit tactic whenever there’s mass deaths from gun violence: Thoughts and prayers.

“This morning, we were made aware yet again of another shooting, this time at a bank in Louisville, Kentucky. We, of course want to take time to mourn the loss of innocent life, but we should not wait in acting to prevent these frequent aggressive acts from happening in the future.”

From there, the Florida Republican asserted that gun control is actually the problem, not the solution.

“Your grandparents used to be able to order mail-order automatic weapons, and when the Second Amendment was written, the American people, such as they were, could own cannons. No mass shootings back then.”

That’s simply not true, but it shouldn’t surprise anyone that Gaetz doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

The National Firearms Act, which outlawed automatic weapons, was enacted in 1934. Why? To stop mass shootings by gangs involved in bootlegging and organized crime, as NPR has reported:

In the 1920s and ’30s, the U.S. was dealing with a different kind of gun violence epidemic: a massive increase in organized crime, fueled by Prohibition.

Gangsters, like Al Capone, were making big money trafficking illegal alcohol. And a key weapon in their arsenal was the machine gun.

“Those criminals from the mob took advantage of the rise of the portable machine gun, capable of firing multiple rounds of ammunition with the single pull of a trigger,” says Adam Winkler, a professor at UCLA’s school of law and author of Gunfight: The Battle Over The Right to Bear Arms in America.

Injured Man Says Lauren Boebert Tried To Cover Up Her Son’s Car Accident That Nearly Killed Him

Noble D’Amato is a 19-year-old resident of Colorado who suffered multiple concussions and badly lacerated hand during a car accident in September of last year. His hand was so badly cut that he can no longer hope to be a welder because of the injury.

“I still have problems with my hand,” D’Amato says. “My thumb almost got cut off. It prevented me from getting a welding job, because I can’t hold a TIG torch anymore. I’m a personal-care provider now.”

Who was driving when D’Amato was injured? Tyler Boebert, the son of Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), and now the congresswoman is accused of trying to cover-up her son’s faulty driving, according to a disturbing report from Denver news site Westword.com.

What happened to Tyler Boebert? Next to nothing. He was charged with “defective vehicle for headlights” and ordered to attend a court-ordered driving school.

D’Amato, it should be noted, was also charged with drug offenses as a result of the accident when police found police found unprescribed Xanax pills and a marijuana grinder at the scene of the accident.

Was Tyler Boebert charged with those same crimes? No. And yet the vehicle was his.

If you think this entire matter stinks to high heaven, you aren’t the only one.

Yet despite all of what’s happened to Noble D’Amato, he says the Boebert family has yet to say a word to him or take responsibility for the accident.

But according to D’Amato, the Boebert family has yet to take any real responsibility for the accident, with the congresswoman’s office issuing a statement which reads:

“The injury reported was superficial at best and was addressed by medical professionals out of caution. The incident involved two minors.”

D’Amato calls the statement “bullshit” and is accusing the congresswoman of trying to cover up the entire matter.

“She’s never liked me,” D’Amato says. “But that doesn’t give them the right to try and hide the fact that I was injured. They just don’t give a fuck. It’s the entire family.”

D’Amato says he doesn’t plan to take legal action against the Boebert’s, but does recall the terror of the accident, and he blames reckless driving on Tyler Boebert’s part.

Boebert was “stone cold sober” but “was driving so f–king fast.”

“I remember waking up with blood pouring out of my hand,” he recalled. “I had put my hands up in the air to protect myself and got messed up really bad by the window or something. I was just glad to be alive.”

“Harm was definitely done. But like I said, if it were up to [Tyler] fully — and he didn’t have his mom affecting his mind so aggressively — he’d take responsibility and not act like it wasn’t a big deal. But he’s the son of Lauren Boebert. If I did what he did, I’d still be in jail.”

Trumps Face Backlash For Targeting Daughter Of Judge Overseeing Donald’s Manhattan Trial

Indicted former president Donald Trump and two of his sons — Don Jr. and Eric — are being hit with massive online backlash and could also face legal ramifications for deliberately targeting the daughter of the judge overseeing the disgraced ex-president’s criminal trial in Manhattan.

Prior to the failed former president’s arraignment and booking in New York this afternoon, Breitbart published a story about Loren Merchan, the daughter of New York Supreme Court Judge Juan Merchan.

The story from Breitbart suggested that Loren Merchan was a Democratic operative:

“According to Merchan’s archived LinkedIn account, she worked as the ‘Director of Digital Persuasion’ for ‘Kamala Harris For The People’ from February 2019 through December 2019 — which was during the 2020 presidential election. And according to the company’s website, the ‘Biden-Harris’ campaign was also a client.”

While Ms. Merhcan may have worked for the Harris campaign, there is absolutely no evidence that her father is politically biased in any manner at all.

But that didn’t stop the loser ex-president from posting an all-caps attack on his failing Truth Social site.

“VERY UNFAIR VENUE, WITH SOME AREAS THAT VOTED 1% REPUBLICAN. THIS CASE SHOULD BE MOVED TO NEARBY STATEN ISLAND – WOULD BE A VERY FAIR AND SECURE LOCATION FOR THE TRIAL. ADDITIONALLY, THE HIGHLY PARTISAN JUDGE & HIS FAMILY ARE WELL KNOWN TRUMP HATERS. HE WAS AN UNFAIR DISASTER ON A PREVIOUS TRUMP RELATED CASE, WOULDN’T RECUSE, GAVE HORRIBLE JURY INSTRUCTIONS, & IMPOSSIBLE TO DEAL WITH DURING THE WITCH HUNT TRIAL. HIS DAUGHTER WORKED FOR ‘KAMALA’ & NOW THE BIDEN-HARRIS CAMPAIGN. KANGAROO COURT!!!”

Then Eric Trump joined the chorus:

“They are all hand-picked. It is all pre-arranged. This corruption is on a different level.”

https://twitter.com/EricTrump/status/1643209196199112705?s=20

Donald Trump Jr. couldn’t resist adding his hateful take on the matter, too:

“Seems relevant… yet another connection in this hand-picked Democrat show trial. The BS never ends folks.”

Social media quickly reminded the Trumps that it was quite obvious they were attempting to intimidate Judge Merchan and his daughter and that they were disgusted by the postings.

WATCH Lauren Boebert Repeatedly Ask About ‘Public Urination’ During A Bizarre House Hearing 

It appears that Colorado Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert has piss on the brain. And no, that’s not a joke, even though she most certainly is.

During a bizarre House Oversight hearing on Wednesday, Boebert grilled Washington, D.C. Councilmember Charles Allen about the laws regarding public urination in the District.

The topic was supposed to be proposed changes to the D.C. criminal code, which led Boebert to inquire, “In November of 2022, you led the charge to reform D.C.’s crime laws. And these charges, these changes, are now law here in D.C., correct?”

Allen: “No, those are not the law.”

Boebert then asked:

“Those are not the law?”

Allen: “You (Congress) overturned them.”

“Mr. Allen, did you or did you not decriminalize public urination in Washington, D.C.?” Boebert asked.

Allen: “No, we did not.”

Despite Allen’s reply, Boebert once again asked, “Did you lead the charge to decriminalize public urination in Washington, D.C.?” 

“No, ma’am,” Allen replied.

Boebert: “Did you ever vote in favor of decriminalizing public urination in Washington, D.C.?” 

Allen: “The revised criminal code that was passed by the council kept it as a criminal offense.”

“We have records that show that you were in favor of removing that criminal offense and allowing public urination,” Boebert sniped.

Allen insisted once again, “No.”

It didn’t take long before Twitter lit up with mockery and derision aimed right at Congresswoman Bobo.
