Marjorie Taylor Greene is encountering a problem on her book tour: How do you sell books to people who burn them?
The conspiracy-crazed congresswoman held multiple book signings over the weekend in Florida, drawing sparse crowds.
And we mean…sparse.
Politics, but make it gay!

There was nobody there!
The saga of MTG’s fraught weekend began late Thursday, when a Florida venue canceled an event featuring the MAGA extremist. The event was being advertised as an occasion marking the third anniversary of January 6.
Democratic State Rep. Anna V. Eskamani posted screenshots of the grotesque advertising on social media.
“Just another day in Florida where the local Republican Party in Osceola County is hosting an ‘anniversary’ event to mark January 6th and Marjorie Taylor Green is the ‘special” guest,’ she wrote. Was really hoping this was a joke when I first saw it.”
But it was not a joke. Sadly, the event was very real.
That is, until Eskamani’s post.
Westgate Resorts quickly pulled out, alleging they weren’t aware of the January 6 subtext when agreeing to host the book signing… on January 6.
“Please be advised that Westgate was not made aware of the purpose of this event when we were approached to host a book-signing,” it said in a statement.
MTG took the slight in stride, of course.
HAH!
“The Communist Democrats tried to shut down my book signing. They lost!” she wrote.
Umm…not really. MTG wound up hosting her signing at a Veterans of Foreign Wars post in St. Cloud, Florida.
At another location, it looked like she was signing books for nobody… in a pre-school?
The Amazon reviews are great 😂 pic.twitter.com/1CVo48CX5J

Her signing Sunday in Daytona Beach, a right-wing hotbed, wasn’t any more popular.
MTG’s humiliating weekend appearances capped off a week of indignities. The FEC also fined her $12,000 for alleged illegal fundraising.
And what is MTG’s book about, you ask? MTG’s book, MTG, “reveals her personal account of the battles she fights in the halls of Congress and beyond.”
The gay-hating demagogue “shares the story of her incredible ascension from small town business owner to MAGA firebrand!”
As exciting as that sounds, readers aren’t thrilled! The book has a 1.4 rating on Walmart’s online store and 3.1 on Amazon.
“A lobotomy would be enjoyable than this ‘book,” writes one reviewer.
Looking forward to when she blames her book singing busts on the “Communist Democrats” too!

It looks like a Joe Biden political rally.
(My bad…when you campaign from your basement, you don’t have political rallies!)
Serious Question: When is President Biden going to start campaigning? He has spent almost 40% of his administration on vacation. Anybody have an idea when? We don’t have a COVID issue, so his basement campaign won’t work this election.
Dr Sarah
| don’t know much about politics, but if the President of the United States chooses to spend his time on running the actual country rather than running big flashy election campaigns then I’m not really seeing why that would be a bad thing.
Baron Wiseman
@Dr Sarah
Is spending almost 40% of your time on vacation “running the country”?
Even in 1963, President Kennedy was campaigning in November before an election year when a crazed Marxist assassinated him.
Do you think President Biden is in such a position that he doesn’t need to campaign?
Matt
That isn’t true. Several tabloids and false news sources, such as the New York Post, the Washington Times, the Washington Examiner, and Townhall, are claiming that Biden has spent almost 40% of his time on vacation. The claim originally comes from the RNC, but they count as “vacation” all his time away from the White House, even work time. When Biden meets overseas with foreign leaders or works out of the office in his Delaware home, RNC “Research” counts it as being “on vacation.” Reputable sources like NPR and The Hill use language like “days away from the White House.” The Washington Post found that Biden has spent 27% of his presidency on vacation or at his Delaware home, but even that figure includes time working out of his office.

@Matt
The claim doesn’t come from the RNC. There are multiple sites and news organizations that keep track of where the President is located. This isn’t new; it’s done with every president. When the articles breakdown each vacation spot and how many days were spent there it is hardly a right-wing conspiracy.

You don’t want him to win, so why do you care how he campaigns?
When Trump was president I never complained about how he golfed all the time. I thought the more he golfs, the less damage he can do.

I’m answering my own question.
President Biden delivered a divisive campaign speech at a black church today.
Biden told one of his favorite lies (again) about his involvement in the civil rights movement to the blacks at Mother Emmanuel AME church in Charleston, South Carolina.
From the White House website:
“I was talking downstairs. I — I’ve spent more time in the Bethel AME Church in Wilmington, Delaware, than I have — than most people I know, Black or white, have spent in that church. (Laughter.) Because that’s where I started — no, I’m serious. It started with the Civil Rights Movement. I used to go to 7:30 mass, then I’d go to 10 o’clock cl- — 10 o’clock service with the reverend who was then running the church, who’s now the bishop.”
This lie has been repeatedly debunked. In 1987, Joe Biden claimed he marched in the civil rights movement (among other lies) that eventually forced him drop out of his first presidential race.
Biden finally admitted he lied about marching in the civil rights movement.
Fenwick22
Someone got into the moonshine early.

The POTUS is not who runs this country, the Congress is (and honestly it’s the Senate). Biden has a very limited purview as to what he can do without legislation going through Congress. He was able to secure himself a MASSIVE budget before midterms and has been able to effectively pivot those funds since the Congress divided after midterms. He was still able to cancel over $100 billion in student loans after SCOTUS put the kaibash on his initial plan. Biden is the most progressive president since Truman, even compared to Obama (and he was a part of that administration). Sadly, looks like we’ll have a divided government next go around unless Republicans keep playing their sick game of “stop hitting yourself” with the budget. Americans have seen it for what it is every time.
I like the way they do it in the UK, where if the Parliament approves a budget that is bigger than the funding they have, it is an implicit authorization for the government to borrow money. Our Congress has invented a problem that only Congress can solve and it serves no other purpose than providing a pulpit to grandstand. Glad it’s my reps in Congress who have to sit through that nonsense and not me.

@basils_Herald
I find it rather amusing, if not sad, that the Biden “achievement” you mention is student debt forgiveness. Yes, there is nothing quite like literally buying the votes of young voters and leaving the financial burden to the American taxpayer. Great job, President Biden!
Bosch
“and leaving the financial burden to the American taxpayer”
No, you’re thinking of tax cuts for the rich. Most western countries subsidise education because they don’t want a country full of idiots. A country full of idiots produces people like you.
Baron Wiseman
@Bosch
Ugh.
Who do you think is paying billions for the student debt “forgiveness” (aka buying young voters votes)? Do you think it just magically disappears!?! It’s like Democrat Christmas.
What were you saying about idiots?
abfab
”democrat Christmas” I love that.
Baron Wiseman
@Bosch
“…tax cuts for the rich.”
Like a good little parrot, you have your DNC talking points down pat.
From the Tax Foundation website:
•The top 1 percent’s income share rose from 20.1 percent in 2019 to 22.2 percent in 2020 and its share of federal income taxes paid rose from 38.8 percent to 42.3 percent.
•The top 50 percent of all taxpayers paid 97.7 percent of all federal individual income taxes, while the bottom 50 percent paid the remaining 2.3 percent.
When the top income earners pay virtually all the taxes, who should get the tax cut!?! Democrats have always loved a good redistribution scheme.
abfab
More of the same from the bullshit queen herself.
Bosch
“When the top income earners pay virtually all the taxes, who should get the tax cut!?! Democrats have always loved a good redistribution scheme.”
Who says there needs to be a tax cut?
All you’ve demonstrated with your points is that you don’t understand mathematics. Here’s a fun question: what percentage of the federal income tax should the bottom 50 percent pay, given a completely flat tax? Don’t use chatGPT.
Baron Wiseman
@Bosch
“Who says there needs to be a tax cut?”
No one. You are the one who mentioned it in your post; thus, I responded to it.
Bosch
Wow you’re slow. I mentioned it because it happened during trumpy-wumpy’s term.
Answer the math question. Bless us with your genius. Show us you understand what you’re talking about when you’re talking about taxes.
Baron Wiseman
@Bosch
“I mentioned it because it happened during trumpy-wumpy’s term.”
Well, obviously!!! A tax cut certainly isn’t going to happen during Biden’s term!
Diplomat
Baron,
Are you looking forward to a dictatorship with no future US free and fair elections if Trump is elected?
Bosch
Ok dumfuk, it looks like you need a bit of help.
If the total income of the bottom 50% is X, and the total income of the top 50% is Y, then, given a flat tax, the bottom 50% should pay a percentage of X/(X+Y) of the total federal income tax.
So what do you suppose the ratio is between X and Y in the US?

Or any original material for that matter. The wise old Boomer routine could be interesting if it weren’t for the endless tedium.
At least the ass clown (and former intern for Large Marge) Milo was mildly entertaining to watch with his look at me I’m a Gen Z, edgy, queer, conservative grift. Of course, when the pseudo intellectual exposition on the benefits of MBL was discovered, that went off the rails quick. Maybe read the room next time dumb a$$?
But he’s doing fine, he’s found Jesus and has decided to devote his life to advocating on behalf of improving the public image of gay conversion therapy. He’s currently fundraising to establish a therapy center in the Free State of Florida. Maybe he should hit up Magic Mike when he’s in Sarasota on weekends training frogs, fleas and locusts for his ring in the circus.
And don’t even get me start on that Oli London freak. What is it with the f*cking crazy Brits?
You can’t make this sh*t up…
