"Greene" Acres

Marjorie Taylor Greene saw marijuana “zombies” wandering around New York City when she visited to protest the arrest of former President Donald Trump, she complained Sunday.

The Georgia Republican’s comment was in response to a New York Post article that bemoaned how decriminalized weed had led to “proliferating mayhem,” clouds of pungent smoke throughout the city and stoned service staff.

“A license to get high has turned service employees into zombies,” the opinion piece opined.

“I saw them when I went there to protest against the weaponization of government against President Trump by a George Soros funded DA,” the congresswoman tweeted.

Greene spent barely any time in the city, giving a short speech at a protest before fleeing in an SUV as she was heckled by crowds of opponents.

Marijuana use in New York was legalized in 2021.

Will "Margie" accuse the Dalai Lama of being a "groomer"?

The Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama apologized on Monday after a video which showed him asking a boy to suck his tongue triggered a backlash on social media.

The video, which has gone viral, shows the Dalai Lama, 87, planting a kiss on the boy's lips as he leaned in to pay his respects.

The Buddhist monk is then seen sticking his tongue out as he asked the child to suck it. "Can you suck my tongue," he is heard asking the young boy in the video.

Tens of Protesters Show Up To Support Trump

Even Fox News Covered the Tiny Crowd Supporting Trump Outside Manhattan Court Despite His Call for Protest

By Ken Meyer

Former President Donald Trump spent days calling for people to “protest” his seemingly-imminent indictment over the Stormy Daniels hush money case, though the protest that showed up might not have been what he had in mind.

Fox News published a report on Wednesday, acknowledging Trump’s supporters were “far outnumbered in New York City” when they turned up to protest outside of the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office. This happened when the assembled Trump supporters were counter-protested by people who were there to cheer for Trump’s indictment, plus the other legal troubles that continue to surround the former president.

The NYPD took steps to safeguard the area on Tuesday as news watchers have been concerned about the possibility of violence from Trump supporters gathering to rail against his potential arrest. So far, the Trump supporting crowd has been meager in size, and Fox News referred to a Politico report on Trump’s supporters reacting to the small gathering

“We threw it together at the last minute, the last 24 hours,” said Gavin Wax, president of the New York Young Republican Club. Wax insisted to Politico that the club wanted to keep their protest “low key,” and that “we weren’t sure we even wanted to come out because some people don’t like us, but we are here to show that there is support for President Trump in the bluest area in the country, here in Manhattan.”

Here’s what Politico got after hearing from another Trump supporter:

Norman Ross, 59, a personal trainer, said that fellow Trump supporters were cautioning each other about coming out to protest, saying they could be arrested in traps orchestrated by Democrats in the largely liberal city. Ross said he believed there was a larger protest around the corner. But, other than a smattering of Trump supporters outside the former president’s Fifth Avenue building, the courthouse protest was the biggest gathering Monday.

“A lot of the conservative groups are writing to each other right now to stay home. They are nervous that this would be a setup,” he said, adding they feared “they would be arrested like January 6.”

Ross told the outlet he would return if Trump gets indicted, and he acknowledged the possibility that further protests could devolve into chaos.

A Perfect Descripton of Tucker Carlson

“Just think of it like this: Tucker Carlson is a moral vacuum. A hole, if you will, who glorifies election deniers. So, a glory hole. And his viewers expect him to please them with his mouth, and he’s constantly terrified that they’ll find a new, more satisfying glory hole. And that is why Tucker Carlson will never stop sucking.”

Lordy, There Are Texts

Here are some things Tucker Carlson is now on record saying, with some dates and juicy details:

"Sidney Powell is lying. Fucking bitch. " (Tucker to his producer Alex Pfeiffer, 11/16/20)
"Sidney Powell is lying by the way. I caught her. It's insane." To which Laura Ingraham texted back, "Sidney is a complete nut. No one will work with her. Ditto with Rudy." To which Tucker replied, "It's unbelievably offensive to me. Our viewers are good people and they believe it." (11/18/20)
November 13: The filing says Tucker wrote privately that Trump should concede, and was in agreement that "there wasn't enough fraud to change the outcome" of the election.
He called the election fraud claims "ludicrous" and "totally off the rails." (11/20/20 and 12/24/20)
When, just after the election, Maria Bartiromo started pushing Sidney Powell's bullshit about Dominion's voting machines — which was sourced from somebody who said they saw it in a dream and who thought the wind talked to her, among other things — Tucker said the "software shit was absurd."
He said it was "shockingly reckless" to claim Dominion rigged the election without any proof in a text to [REDACTED] on 11/21/20.
After the Trump White House and other conservatives started screaming at Fox News for (correctly) calling Arizona for Biden on election night, Tucker's producer Pfeiffer said people on their side were being "reckless demagogues." Tucker said, "Of course they are. We're not going to follow them."
However, on the night of November 12, when Fox News reporter Jacqui Heinrich correctly factchecked a Trump tweet about Dominion and election rigging, Tucker group-texted Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham saying, "Please get her fired. Seriously .... What the fuck ? actually shocked...It needs to stop immediately , like tonight. It's measurably hurting the company. The stock price is down. Not a joke."
The night of January 6, Tucker texted his producer Pfeiffer that Donald Trump was "a demonic force, a destroyer. But he's not going to destroy us." And then he had the MyPillow Guy on his show on January 26 to blab more conspiracy theories. Said literally all the lies Tucker absolutely knew were lies. Tucker didn't push back.
