Marjorie Taylor Greene Tries To Mock Conspiracy Theorists – And It Doesn’t End Well For Her

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is well-known for saying absurd and controversial things, including bizarre conspiracy theories about Jewish space lasers causing wildfires in California and Democrats generating massive hurricanes to hit states that voted for Donald Trump.

But according to a posting Greene made on Twitter Saturday, it’s everyone else who’s wrapped up in spreading lies and bullshit that have no basis in reality.

The post features a meme that shows a person wearing an enormous tinfoil hat and this message: “Almost everyone in America right now.”

Greene added her own commentary to the meme: “Yep.”

Wow! Talk about an irony alert. You’d need a truckful of them to cover that tweet.

Apparently, Ms. Greene is attempting to make some sort of social commentary regarding the fondness many have for spreading bullshit on the internet. But she’s not exactly the ideal messenger for such a message, and she was reminded of that.

Barack Obama Donald Trump Elections Viral Video

Obama Goes Viral By Skewering Insecure Trump With Hilarious Diaper Joke

At a jampacked campaign rally in support of Vice President Kamala Harris Thursday evening in Pittsburgh, former President Barack Obama commented on the man who followed him in the White House that went viral in less than an hour and continues to be shared on social media this morning.

Obama praised a proposed tax credit of $6,000 for new parents that’s part of Harris’ economic plan, noting, “She wants to make it easier to afford stuff like a crib, or a car seat or diapers.”

“I remember changing diapers,” he added. He then asked the rallygoers, “Do you think Donald Trump ever changed a diaper?”

The room erupted in laughter when someone in the crowd yelled, “His own!”

 “I almost said that but decided I shouldn’t say it,” Obama replied as the audience began laughing and applauding again.

Obama added, “Instead of giving more tax breaks to billionaires and raising prices on working families, Kamala will give a tax cut to 100 million middle-class and working people here in America.”

The former president’s remarks in Pittsburgh clearly struck a nerve with the Trump camp as campaign communications director Steven Cheung fired off an angry response.

“Barack Hussein Obama couldn’t even make a coherent defense of Kamala Harris’ record because even he knows she represents a disastrous four years of skyrocketing inflation, an out-of-control border, and rampant crime that terrorizes communities across the country.”

Nice try, Steven, but that’s not going to make the diaper comment disappear, and it’s likely to increase the damage inflicted by Obama, who remains incredibly popular with the American electorate.

Obama’s remarks were hailed online.

Donnie Gets Dive-Bombed By A Fly And Social Media Can’t Stop Laughing: ‘The Fly Can Smell His BS’

Just how badly are things going for the Trump 2024 campaign and the failed ex-president? So badly that it appears even flies can smell the stench of decay and loss that hovers over the disgraced former head of state.

Speaking in Wisconsin over the weekend, Trump was ostensibly on a rant about the need for fossil fuels. It’s hard to tell sometimes, as he often zig zags and goes off in all sorts of bizarre directions that have nothing to do with the point he was trying to make.

“You need fossil fuel to fire up those big, massive plants. The wind isn’t gonna do it. It’s wonderful. Isn’t it nice? Look at that little windmill. It’s so beautiful. We need fossil fuel.”

As you can see in the video below, Trump then swats at a fly onstage, which diverts his attention to the subject of flies.

“I don’t like flies. Get out of here, fly. Never been a big fan of flies. You don’t mind my bringing that up, do you? Anyway, this is a very aggressive sucker. This one in particular is very aggressive. Like I’m going to be aggressive for our country.”

Donald may not be a fan of flies, but it certainly appears they sure love being near him, which isn’t surprising since the insects are known to love anything putrid or rotting, most notably feces of any kind.

The fly incident set off a wave of internet mockery.

Elon Musk’s Mother Accused Of Committing A Federal Crime

Failed one-term former president Donald Trump held a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, and was joined onstage by a surprise guest: Twitter CEO Elon Musk, who is supporting the disgraced ex-head of state so he can get more massive tax cuts and other perks if the Donald manages to win a second term in office.

Musk told rallygoers they needed to be sure and vote in November.

“Now, America is the home of the brave, and there’s no truer test than courage under fire … who do you want representing America? Yeah, absolutely. And I think this, this, this election, I think the most important election of our lifetime, this is — this is no ordinary election.”

Before taking the stage with Trump, Musk posted this on Twitter/X:

“Super important to get all your friends and family to register to vote,. Georgia’s registration deadline is Monday!!”

Musk’s mother, Maye, then decided she’d add her own two cent’s worth of mayhem, urging people to cheat if necessary to guarantee Trump wins.

“The Democrats have given us another option. You don’t have to register to vote. On Election Day, have 10 fake names, go to 10 polling booths and vote 10 times. That’s 100 votes, and it’s not illegal. Maybe we should work the system too.”

Did she just encourage people to commit voter fraud? That was the consensus online, with some people suggesting that Mrs. Musk should be referred to the FBI for investigation and prosecution.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Peddles Paranoid Conspiracy Theory About Hurricanes: Democrats ‘Can Control The Weather’

According to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), it’s no mistake that Hurricane Helene caused so much damage in the Southeastern United States last week. After all, she claims, Democrats can control the weather and may be planning to use it to steal the 2024 election.

Greene made her absurd accusation on Twitter Thursday, starting with this post:

She followed it with a map to prove her point.

Yes, Mother Nature is conspiring with Democrats to make sure the election goes their way. Who knew she was even registered to vote?

Of course, Greene neglected to address the larger problems of climate change and global warming, both of which are the main contributors to extreme weather events such as hurricanes.

Just last month, the BBC reported:

Firstly, warmer ocean waters mean storms can pick up more energy, leading to higher wind speeds.

Record high sea surface temperatures were a key reason why US scientists forecast an above-normal Atlantic hurricane season for 2024.

The high temperatures are mainly due to long-term greenhouse gas emissions.

Secondly, a warmer atmosphere can hold more moisture, leading to more intense rainfall.

Climate change made the extreme rainfall from Hurricane Harvey in 2017 around three times more likely, according to one estimate.

Greene also got some brutal (and well-deserved) mockery on social media.
