MTG Rages at U.K. Journo’s Jewish Space Laser Question: ‘F*ck Off’
This is what passes as a republican statesperson, an elected official we would want our kids to look up to. She is a backwards low IQ maga racist bigoted thug. She is a female tRump, only she is not a coward like he is. She has no sense of decorum, she thinks being an internet troll in real life is a thing to be proud of, an accomplishment. She thinks civility and being nice are deviant behavior. She has the idea that freedom is her being able to tell everyone else how to live, dictating to them what they can or can not do. What a disgusting person. Momma’s don’t let your babies grow to be Marge Greene. Hugs. Scottie
The MAGA congresswoman had just finished saying that Trump supporters like “the truth.”
The News Agents/X
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) lashed out at a British reporter on Tuesday night who asked her about Jewish space lasers, telling the broadcaster to “fuck off.”
MTG was approached by former BBC journalist Emily Maitlis at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida on Super Tuesday. What started out as a fairly amicable exchange rapidly went off the rails when Greene was asked about conspiracy theorists among the former president’s supporters—and Greene’s own history of truly unhinged speculations.
Maitlis—the journalist who conducted the infamous 2019 interview with Prince Andrew about his ties with Jeffrey Epstein—began by asking Greene about what message Nikki Haley should take from her latest round of primary defeats. “Well, we’ve been encouraging her to drop out and support President Trump and I think tonight is the clear message that President Trump is the clear frontrunner, he’s the winner in our Republican primary, and it’s time for Nikki Haley to drop out and support him,” Greene replied.
Maitlis also asked Greene if she thought she herself should be on Trump’s list of potential running mates. “No, I don’t think Nikki Haley should be on the list,” Greene answered, apparently mishearing the question. Asked if she would like to be in contention for Trump’s vice president herself, Greene replied: “He’s got a long list—I support President Trump in any way, any way he’d ask me. But I can assure you it won’t be Nikki Haley.”
The cordial interview then took a turn. “Can you tell me why so many people that support Donald Trump love conspiracy theories, including yourself? He seems to attract lots of conspiracy theorists.”
“Well, let me tell you, you’re a conspiracy theorist,” Greene replied, pointing at Maitlis. “And the left and the media spreads more conspiracy theories. We like the truth, we like supporting our Constitution, our freedoms, and America First.”
As the MAGA lawmaker attempted to walk away, Maitlis asked: “What about Jewish space lasers? Tell us about Jewish space lasers.”
The question related to a 2018 Facebook post in which Greene suggested there were “too many coincidences to ignore” around the devastating Camp Fire in California, claiming that people reported seeing “what looked like lasers or blue beams of light causing the fires” and that an executive of “Rothschild Inc, international investment banking firm” could be involved. After speculating in the post that “space solar generators” could be behind the wildfires, Greene later dismissed her crackpot theory as having been a “sarcastic social media post.”
“Why don’t you go talk about Jewish space lasers,” Greene replied to Maitlis. “And really, why don’t you fuck off? How about that?”
“Thanks, thank you very much,” the British broadcaster replied.

Cognitively Impaired Man Slurs Through Rally Speeches
Even though the media won’t report on how badly tRump is failing, we must. The public must know before voting. Plus we must remind people that reports show that the White House was awash with drugs, speed, uppers, sleep pills, pain pills, cocaine, and Adderall. Yet tRump and the maga bunch act so holy and pure. Hugs. Scottie
Raw Story reports:
Donald Trump had several verbal slip-ups at his rally in North Carolina on Saturday, prompting the internet to go wild There were several instances in which the former reality TV star flubbed his lines, glitched, or otherwise slurred through his standard stump speech.
Conservative columnist Tom Nichols said the people in Trump’s audience “mostly know he’s beyond addled now.” “You can keep showing it to them, and they don’t care, because they think it’ll be a hilarious lib-own to put him back in the White House and hand him the codes to 1500 nuclear weapons.”

Looks pretty deferential to me…
I love that picture

NYT: Cultists Target Dem Voter Rolls In Multiple States
Republicans / fundamentalist Christians want minority rule, because they are the minority and they want to force everyone to live by their dictates. Republicans have no policies to run on, they are unpopular, they are wage a culture war that is very unpopular with the majority so they have to cheat to win elections. They have to do extreme gerrymandering and restrictive anti-voting laws. Simply put, they do not want everyone to vote, they hate the idea of one person one vote. They want only their voters to vote. In fact the fundamentalist Christian republicans would rather get rid of people voting at all, and instead just pick the republicans that will rule over you, creating the doctrines, rules, laws that dictate how every part of your life must be lived. To make them happy and suit them. You must conform to them and their ways of life, no individuality, no being different, no having any thoughts not approved by the pastor or the legislature. Hugs.

The New York Times reports:
A network of right-wing activists and allies of Donald J. Trump is quietly challenging thousands of voter registrations in critical presidential battleground states, an all-but-unnoticed effort that could have an impact in a close or contentious election.
Calling themselves election investigators, the activists have pressed local officials in Michigan, Nevada and Georgia to drop voters from the rolls en masse. They have at times targeted Democratic areas, relying on new data programs and novel legal theories to justify their push.
In one Michigan town, more than 100 voters were removed after an activist lobbied officials, citing an obscure state law from the 1950s. In the Detroit suburb of Waterford, a clerk removed 1,000 people from the rolls in response to a similar request.

FL Republican Intros New Social Media Ban For Minors
Why do the republicans hate young people on social media? Because it exposes them to ideas that are now banned in Florida schools. It is about information control, it is about indoctrination to a conservative mindset / ideology. Think of it, even though the republicans managed to remove all reading material from schools about LGBTQIA people so LGBTQIA kids won’t see themselves represented and other students won’t see that the LGBTQIA kids are as normal as they are, young people can still see it on social media where the stars they love tell them that it is OK to be different. Plus social media clearly shows how wrong and backwards the Republican Party is, and how out of touch a minority the fundamentalist Christians are. Then you have the times that social media influences older teens to vote progressive / democrat, not regressive conservative like the state wants them to do. Social media also makes republicans and maga look as stupid as they are, mocking them, and showing young people out of touch with the modern times the fundamentalist Christian republicans are. Hugs.

Florida Politics reports:
Language for a new social media bill with provisions for parental consent has been filed in the Senate. The move came after Gov. Ron DeSantis vetoed an all-out ban on those under 16 using most social media platforms.
Sen. Erin Grall, a Fort Pierce Republican, filed an amendment with new language negotiated with the House, Senate and Governor’s Office. The legislation includes exemptions for 14- and 15-year-olds to open accounts on any platform so long as they have a parent’s permission.
“A social media platform shall prohibit a minor who is 14 or 15 years of age from entering into a contract with a social media platform to become an account holder, unless the minor’s parent or guardian provides consent for the minor to become an account holder,” the amendment states.
Read the full article. The bill vetoed yesterday by DeSantis would have banned all minors under age 16 from having a social media account.
The FL legislature somehow thinks kids 16 and under are mature enough to have children when raped or molested but somehow not mature enough to use social media.
That’s how stupid all of this is
FL ledge DESPERATLY needs to find a way to keep queer kids from seeing positive messaging about themselves. They have seen the stats that 25% of Gen Z identify as something other than straight/cis. They are freaking out that Gen Alpha (yeah I had to look that one up but don’t you dare OK Boomer me) is going to follow the same curve. I for one welcome the rest of our rainbow plenty of bisexuals out there and now they are not afraid to be counted.
Not sure that is the crux of why they are pushing for this
This is 100% the reason they want to stop young people from using the internet. I don’t remember seeing my first rainbow flag until I was 18. Up until that point, I thought there was something wrong with me. And as a result, I was politically neutral, and not fiercely anti-conservative at the time.
They seem to think 11 year olds know nothing about the internet. Facebook has long had an age requirement, and I’ve known children as young as 11 who have had accounts. The kids figure it out quickly.
I guarantee you they’re also on Instachat and Snapgram and Trick Tock and whatever else folks use. And this bill won’t change that.
Perhaps it’s just another way to quickly create a whole new juvenile criminal class. I wonder what the consequences are, and if the parents will be held responsible for their little criminals.
Sentenced to work 2 years at a fast food joint, or a slaughterhouse?
“Are you 16 or older? – Yes/No”
yep, ban social media but don’t you dare say a word about gun laws and gun control…
Oh, they’re looking to repeal the law they passed after the Parkland massacre.
Without guns, what the hell is going to shoot our kids? geez…
The party of small government certainly likes big government controls.
and who will police the social media police?
The same platoon of inbred hicks that Rhonda assembled to protect the peninsula from the existential threat that is The Bahamas.
Just think of the new 18-year-old voters who now won’t vote for you in November.
I was just thinking about that. Is the 16-year-old cutoff meant to protect them from teenagers’ wrath? There won’t be any current 16-year-olds voting in 2024.
Children have long memories when it comes to blocking them from interaction with their peers whose parents have given permission to have social media accounts. Denied an account, they would be relegated to a lower social order in their school and school community.
So all the talk about small govt was just a ruse to get the Freedumb morons to vote for them////
Isn’t this a decision best left between parent and child? Does it really need legislation? Perhaps a law mandating making one’s bed before school should happen?
Translation – “We’re raising our kids just fine… it’s the way you’re raising your kids that we need to regulate”
