Ilhan Omar Gives Tucker Carlson A New Nickname He’s Sure To Despise

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is glad to see former Fox News host Tucker Carlson among the ranks of the unemployed, and she’s also unveiling a new moniker she came up with for him.

Speaking with Mehdi Hasan of MSNBC on Tuesday, according to HuffPost Omar destroyed Carlson.

“I can’t tell you just how both relieved and terrified I am of where he might end up, and the kind of platform he might end up having,” she continued, adding it’s “hard not to make people understand just how dangerous this man was and how many lives he risked with his hateful rhetoric on a daily basis.”

And that’s when Omar dubbed Carlson the “king of hate.”

When he was still on the air, Carlson often attacked Rep. Omar, calling her “loathsome” and “a symbol of America’s failed immigration system.” He also said she was “living proof that the way we practice immigration has become dangerous to this country.”

But she’s having the last laugh, because she’s still got her job and King of Hate Carlson is looking for a gig. Don’t you just love when karma catches up with assholes?

Photo Of Marjorie Taylor Greene Has People Wondering If She’s Pregnant

You may have heard that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-GA) husband, Perry, filed for divorce in September of last year, ending their marriage of 27 years.

More recently, Greene has been seen in public with her new beau, Brian Glenn, who is the program director for Right Sight Broadcasting, a network with a political bent to the right of Atilla the Hun.

Now, however, there’s a new debate taking place on social media regarding a photo taken of Greene signing a baseball.

Here’s the full photo, which got clipped down to fit into the tweet:

Could that be a baby bump? Or is Greene getting tubby? Since she often posts videos of herself working out, added weight seems unlikely, unless, of course, there’s a child gestating inside.

Greene, it should be noted, is 48, which is older than most women choose to give birth, but it’s certainly not unheard of for a woman her age to do so.

The photo set off a lot of chatter on Twitter, with many people suggeting that Marge sure looks like she’s with child.

If indeed Greene is pregnant, here’s a name suggestion if it’s a boy: Damien. Those of you who are into horror movies will get that reference. The rest of you can Google it.

‘Bloated Blue Bum’ Trump Gets Hilariously Mocked For His Scotland Photo Op

Indicted one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump spent Monday in Scotland, breaking ground on a new golf course, according to a report from The Comeback.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump is in the news again as he helped break ground on a new golf course in Scotland on Monday. And a photo of Trump at the course has gone viral.

Trump traveled to Scotland to both play golf and visit his mother’s ancestral home. Additionally, he helped to break ground on a new course in Aberdeen, where he owns a course and hotel resort.

Here’s the photo that went viral:

It must have been damn cold in Scotland for Donnie to be bundled up in that coat (which adds at least 50 lbs. worth of photo weight to his already obese frame) and ridiculous blue stocking cap.

As Trump was posing for the photo op in Scotland, a defamation trial brought by writer E. Jean Carroll was taking place in a New York courtroom. Carroll alleges that Trump raped her and then defamed her when she made her accusation public.

But it was the photo itself that set off the most chatter on social media, with Twitter users speculating what the real purpose of that shovel Trump was holding could have been and also noting that he looks like he’s getting fatter by the day.

Pete Buttigieg Only Needs 7 Words To School Lauren Boebert For One Of Her Moronic Tweets

All week long, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) has been attacking Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, trying to blame every airport delay or train derailment on him and suggesting that he’s not qualified for the job he holds in the Biden administration.

 

Boebert posted a photoshopped picture of her putting out a fire in front of a derailed train with the message, “Out here preparing for Mayor Pete’s next derailment.”

Rather than stoop to Boebert’s level (which is the level of a multiple failure when it comes to passing the GED test), Buttigieg used seven words to school Boebert on who’s really to blame for train accidents: Her and her colleagues in the Republican caucus.

Secretary Buttigieg also laid some other painful knowledge on the Colorado dunce:

“We estimate its impact on FRA would mean about 1,000 fewer rail safety inspection days next year and 30,000 fewer miles of track inspected annually. If you care about preventing derailments, please change course and help us increase accountability for freight railroads.”

Of course, it’s highly unlikely that Boebert will understand a word of what Buttigieg told her on Twitter, but others on the platform had some choice words for the Colorado Republican.

Elon Musk’s Pathetic Attempt To Troll Stephen King Backfires Badly On Him

Twitter CEO Elon Musk, apparently hoping to garner some positive media buzz as he watches the social media platform continue to tank, thought it’d be a great idea to let the world know that he’s paying for some celebrities to have a verified account, even though everyone else has to pay $8 a month for a blue check next to their screen name.

According to Time, “The costs of keeping the marks range from $8 a month for individual web users to a starting price of $1,000 monthly to verify an organization, plus $50 monthly for each affiliate or employee account. Twitter does not verify the individual accounts, as was the case with the previous blue check doled out during the platform’s pre-Musk administration.”

Celebrity users, from basketball star LeBron James to author Stephen King and Star Trek’s William Shatner, have balked at joining — although on Thursday, all three had blue checks indicating that the account paid for verification.

King was even more emphatic.

“My Twitter account says I’ve subscribed to Twitter Blue. I haven’t. My Twitter account says I’ve given a phone number. I haven’t.”

That led Musk to respond: “You’re welcome namaste”

It seems that Musk intended his move as a form of trolling, but as many others on Twitter noted, it reeked of desperation and failed miserably.

Is it really any surprise that Twitter has lost half of its value since Musk took over?
