GOP Social Media WTF?!

GOP Lawmaker Mocked For Posting Photo Of Star Wars Prop He Claims Is A ‘Crashed Drone’

Pennsylvania GOP state senator Doug Mastriano announced on Twitter/X that he had located one of the drones that have been spotted hovering over areas in the Northeastern United States over the past several days, but was quickly humiliated when the photo included with his online posting proved to be a prop from the “Star Wars” movie franchise.

“It is inconceivable that the federal government has no answers nor has taken any action to get to the bottom of the unidentified drones. The fecklessness of this administration was on display last year when a Chinese surveillance balloon was allowed to fly over the entire continental United States before being shot down. Such should be viewed as a threat to our nation and citizens and action is long overdue. We have recourses and assets in our arsenal to get answers, but I suppose Ukraine is more important to the White House. January 20th can’t come soon enough,” Mastriano wrote.

Has Mastriano never seen a “Star Wars” film, or is he just trying to stir up fear over a situation that has drawn national interest?

Whatever the reason, the senator was sternly rebuked by others on Twitter.

MAGA Faithful Have An Online Sh*t Fit After National Spelling Bee Accepts New Variant Of Word

Eager to find yet another thing they can be outraged about, the MAGA faithful went nuclear after learning that the Scripps National Spelling Bee has added a new variant to a word on its approved study list for third graders, even though the variant has long appeared in dictionaries across the world.

According to reporting from Fox News, “Study lists for the contest found on school district websites for the 2024-2025 school year list the feminist term, ‘womyn,’ as an acceptable alternate spelling for ‘women’ that students can use.”

Scripps explained why they added the “womyn” variant:

“In building our study lists, we aim to include alternate spellings for any words that have them listed in Merriam-Webster. The Merriam-Webster Unabridged Dictionary is the final authority and sole source for the spelling of all words offered in competition.”

“All of the words used in the Scripps National Spelling Bee program are pulled from our official dictionary, Merriam-Webster Unabridged Dictionary. During competition, our policy is to accept any correct spelling listed in our official dictionary that isn’t marked archaic or obsolete. The alternate spelling ‘womyn’ is therefore included on our study list because it is listed as an alternate spelling for ‘women’ in Merriam-Webster.”

“Womyn” is in the dictionary, so it has to be included as correct by Scripps because it’s accepted as a legitimate way of spelling the word, whether you like it or not.

Right-wingers on social media quickly made it clear they’re furious over anything that doesn’t comport with their narrow view of the world.

The Jokes Write Themselves After Trump Vows To ‘Build Monuments To Our Great Heroes’

Donald Trump wants us all to know that in his next administration, there will be lots of monuments erected that will honor “our great American heroes.”

Trump made that announcement Tuesday on his social media platform, Truth Social, writing, “America is going to start building monuments to our great heroes and heroines again!!! DJT”

Who, you might ask, would those heroes and heroines be? Will there be one for George Wallace and another for David Duke? Or will he sign a proclamation giving Russian president Vladimir Putin American citizenship so his image can be carved on Mount Rushmore?

How about we replace the Washington Monument with a giant statue of Ivanka Trump? That way her daddy can get a stiffy when he walks by.

Fortunately, Trump had the input of the entire social media community, which was only too happy to join the debate.

My mind first went to presidents like Andrew Jackson but it’s probably going to be like the QAnon Shaman and Grimace and the war criminal soldiers he pardoned.

‘Tacky’ Trump Trashed Online For Using Jill Biden Photo To Hawk His Fragrances

Proving yet again that he’s nothing more than a snake oil peddling grifter who would gladly steal a starving widow’s last penny, Donald Trump is once again attempting to make money off another of his shitty products, and this time he’s using a photo of him with First Lady Jill Biden to do so.

The photo, which Trump shared on social media, shows Mrs. Biden sitting next to the president-elect during a weekend ceremony marking the reopening of the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, France.

That led the disgraced former/future president to post, “Here are my new Trump Perfumes & Colognes! I call them Fight, Fight, Fight, because they represent us WINNING. Great Christmas gifts for the family.”

Kinda makes you wonder if that “assassination attempt” on Donnie earlier this year in Pennsylvania was a staged event meant to boost his poll numbers and give him yet another way to make a buck.

One thing’s certain: Responses to Trump’s cologne post were overwhelmingly negative.

New Video Of Barron Trump With His Father Leads To An Interesting Reaction On Social Media

Though we’ve seen Donald Trump’s youngest son, Barron, on several occasions with his father, he rarely speaks, which has led to speculation online regarding whether or not he’s afraid to speak or if he might have a speech impediment that could lead to embarrassment.

It turns out that Barron can speak, as he proved in a video making the rounds on social media.

The video clip comes from the documentary series, “Art of the Surge,” and it shows Barron greeting people.

“Hello, how are you? It’s very nice to see you. It’s very nice,” Barron, who’s a student at NYU, remarks.

Do Barron Trump’s speech pattern and mannerisms remind you of anyone? Many people noted that he was a carbon copy of his father while others said the Donald’s son comes across as downright creepy.
