Marjorie Taylor Greene just took stupid to a new low and the jokes write themselves
After learning that Air Canada recently placed an order for 30 electric airplanes, Greene expressed some rather dim concerns. True to form, she also managed to be as offensive as possible.
“Air Canada, get this, has ordered 30 electric airplanes…I mean, it shouldn’t surprise you, look who’s the president of — I mean, Justin Trudeau, right?” she told a crowd at the Texas Youth Summit.
It goes without saying, but Justin Trudeau is not affiliated with Air Canada.

Then she really went off the rails, comparing electric planes to… slave ships?
“We were talking, how is there an electric airplane and what does that look like?” she said. “Remember back a long time ago when you’ve seen movies where people in those slave ships and, they’re down there and they’re rowing, and they’re being whipped to row?”
“We’re saying, how are they gonna keep powering these electric airplanes, what are they gonna have, it’s like a spin class in a tube? Where they’ve got everybody riding spin cycles, and those mean nasty airline stewardesses that forced you to wear masks all the time on the plane…are they gonna be forcing you to like keep spinning to keep the airplane in the air? It’s absurd!”
Heart Aerospace, the manufacturer of the short-range planes, explained in a press release:
“The new airplane design, called the ES-30, is a regional electric airplane with a capacity of 30 passengers and it replaces the company’s earlier 19-seat design, the ES-19. It is driven by electric motors powered by batteries, which allows the airplane to operate with zero emissions and low noise.”
Dominion to depose Fox boss Lachlan Murdoch as defamation suit heats up
On Monday, at the offices of a powerhouse Los Angeles law firm, the head of Fox News’ parent company — and son of its founder — is scheduled to be deposed under oath. He will face questions about his knowledge of the wild and false allegations the network presented about a voting tech company’s role in then President Donald Trump’s loss in the 2020 elections.
The deposition represents the apex — to date — of the witnesses assembled by Dominion Voting System’s legal team as part of a $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit filed in Delaware Superior Court. Despite supporting Trump throughout his presidency, Lachlan and his father Rupert Murdoch refused to force Fox News to retract its projection that Joe Biden would win the key state of Arizona on Election Night 2020 in the face of intense pressure from the Trump camp.
A slew of Fox News guests and hosts – among them Sean Hannity, Jeanine Pirro, and Maria Bartiromo – slammed Dominion Voting Systems for weeks afterward, breathlessly suggesting and even baselessly asserting it committed election fraud. Dominion says Fox was trying to win back the Trump loyalists who abandoned Fox after the election. And the voting tech’s attorneys have worked its way up the ranks, deposing Fox News staffers from junior producers to those star hosts to network executives.
“It’s an orchestrated effort,” Dominion attorney Justin Nelson argued at a court hearing back in October. “It’s not just on the part of each host individually, but it’s across Fox News as a company.” And, he said, that applied to Fox Corporation as well. Dominion’s suit notes that countless local, state and federal officials and dozens of court rulings have validated the election as clean and fair.
Now attention swings upward to Lachlan Murdoch, Fox Corp’s executive chairman.
So the laptop has proven to be nothing. All they have is naked pictures of Hunter(EWWWWWWWW!) and some emails that don’t really amount to much of a scandal. I guess the only thing left is to claim it’s all a conspiracy to hide… something.
What political position did Hunter Biden ever occupy? The fact that he was hired by a Ukranian energy company as a “consultant” is a goof on them, not on Hunter Biden. Must have been an easy job while it lasted.
No monitoring of privately owned social media websites would be the little darling of the extremist radical right wing. Post what ye may and reader beware. Influencing elections with their brand of prevarication and propaganda would be intolerable.
