Marjorie Taylor Greene Announces Her Upcoming Book And Sets Off A Torrent Of Mockery

Though it’s hard to believe, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) announced Tuesday that she’s written a memoir that will be released in November.

The book, entitled MTG, is designed to tell Greene’s “side of the story,” the controversial congresswoman told the Washington Examiner:

“I’m always controversial, but I think this book might be a little controversial with some of the stories.”

Greene also promoted the upcoming book on Twitter.

Greene also said that she has all sorts of future political opportunities.

“I have options. Anything from a governor’s race to a Senate seat,” Greene told the Examiner. “I’m not sure who Trump will pick for a VP. I haven’t closed the door on anything.”

It didn’t take long before social media laid some heavy duty mockery on Margie, all of it well-deserved.

Lauren Boebert Booted From Denver Theater For ‘Causing A Disturbance’

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) was kicked out of a Denver theater over the weekend for “causing a disturbance,” including vaping during a performance of the “Beetlejuice” musical, singing during the performance, and attempting to record portions of the event.

According to The Denver Post, Boebert and another patron were asked to leave the musical after being warned during intermission about their behavior.

The incident report states that after receiving the intermission warning, about five minutes into the second act security officials received “another complaint about the patrons being loud and at the time (they) were recording.” Taking pictures or recording is not permitted at shows.

The report quotes one of the ushers: “They told me they would not leave. I told them that they need to leave the theater and if they do not, they will be trespassing. The patrons said they would not leave. I told them I would (be) going to get Denver Police. They said go get them.”

Boebert’s office confirmed that the congresswoman did indeed get the heave-ho from “Beetlejuice,” with Drew Sexton remarking:

“I can confirm the stunning and salacious rumors: in her personal time, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert is indeed a supporter of the performing arts (gasp!) and, to the dismay of a select few, enthusiastically enjoyed a weekend performance of ‘Beetlejuice.'”

Boebert is running for reelection in 2024, and recent polls have shown she has a very good chance of losing to her Democratic opponent, Adam Frisch.

An early poll shows incumbent U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert and Adam Frisch, the Democrat who came close to unseating the Republican in 2022, in a tie for the seat amid current political conditions.

If the 2024 election were held today with the two candidates, 45% of voters would choose Frisch and 45% would choose Boebert, according to findings from a poll released Tuesday.

Ted Cruz Flayed Online After Falling For Fake Pic Of Shark Swimming Down A Flooded Highway In California

Despite holding a bachelor’s degree from Princeton University and law degree from Harvard, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) couldn’t resist proving once again that he isn’t the sharpest knife in the proverbial drawer and will literally believe just about anything he sees on social media.

The latest humiliation for Cruz came in the form of a posting on Twitter which purported to show a shark swimming down Highway 405 in downtown Los Angeles, which has been hit hard by flooding from Tropical Storm Hilary, according to Mediaite.

The 2023 version of the photo came from Dan Katz with Barstool Sports, whose X handle is “Big Cat.” He posted, “Friend of mine out in LA just took this picture on the 405. And yes, all news and media outlets you have permission to use this. Wild.”

As you can see from the fact check below the photo, it has been circulating online ever since 2011 and also showed up in 2015, 2016, and 2017.

Cruz later added a note after he’d managed to let the internet know that he’ll believe just about anything he runs across online.

Be sure to note the wording: I’m told this is a joke. Translation: Cruz cannot even accept the truth when it’s staring him in the face and he has access to Google. Why? Probably because he’s a damn idiot with an inflated ego that doesn’t allow him to admit he made a major mistake.

Let the mockery begin.

Friendly tip for Ted Cruz: Delete your Twitter account and stay off the internet.

Jamie Raskin Uses Jim Jordan’s Own Words To Prove His ‘Weaponization Committee’ Is A Sham

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) got his own words played back to him during a hearing of the House select committee on the “weaponization” of the federal government, and the quote makes it perfectly clear that the real reason for the committee is to benefit Donald Trump and help him get reelected in 2024.

Those words (and a video of them) were brought to light be Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), who told Jordan:

“Relaxing with a friendly interviewer, Chairman Jordan gave the game away entirely, ‘All of those things need to be investigated, just so you have the truth,’ he said. ‘Plus, that will hope frame up the 2024 race, when hope, and I think President Trump is going to run, and we need to make sure that he wins.'”

The Maryland Democrat added:

“We need to make sure that he wins. This call to arms for the 2024 election was met with wild applause from the CPAC audience. I urge every member of the subcommittee to go and watch the interview.”

Earlier in the day, Raskin also exposed the Republicans for their lawlessness.

“They’ve proven that they will weaponize the government not just against other parties, but against anyone who refuses to bend to the will and win of one Donald Trump, whether that’s a lifelong Republican state election official, like Georgia secretary of state Brad Raffensperger, foreign head of states like president Volodymyr Zelenskyy, or a political movement, like Black Lives Matter, a once-close personal friend and ally of Trump’s, like his personal lawyer Michael Cohen for many years, or even a sycophantic Trump appointee, a lifelong Republican like attorney general William Barr. If these people break from the habits of lying and lawlessness that define life as a camp follower in the cult of Donald Trump, if the weaponize campaign isn’t partisan, it’s entirely political.

“It’s got an overriding electoral focus. You know what it is. It’s all about restoring Donald Trump, the twice-impeached former president, to the office he lost by 7 million votes in 2020 and tried to steal back in a political coup and violent insurrection against our constitutional order on Jan. 6, 2021.”

Lauren Boebert Tried To Throw Shade At Rachel Maddow And Got Her A*s Handed To Her

Republican Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Boebert has owned herself once again with a moronic tweet she sent out suggesting that the Biden administration must have “learned about governing” from watching MSBNC host Rachel Maddow’s show.

“Most of the Biden Regime learned about governing from watching Rachel Maddow and it really shows.”

Over the past several months, Boebert has also urged Christians to pray for the death of President Joe Biden and even tried to blame him for the 2020 shutdown of schools across the United States as part of the nationwide COVID lockdown.

As for her attack on Maddow, let’s compare their resumés:

  • Maddow holds a bachelor’s degree in public policy from Stanford University and a doctorate in political science from the University of Oxford.
  • Boebert needed multiple attempts to finally pass her GED high school equivalency exam. She is also a failed small businessperson and married to a man who once exposed himself to underage girls at a bowling alley.

Boebert’s tweet aimed at Maddow is especially ironic when you consider that the Trump administration was regularly on the very same page with Fox News (and vice versa) during Donald Trump’s failed presidency.

The Colorado Republican’s tweet was immediately swarmed with reminders of recent history and her lack of awareness.
