She is aware this is a fantasy novel made into a movie? She does know that there are no witches, no munchkins, no scare crow etc.? What am I saying? She’s a conspiracy theorist and I dunno don’t pay a lot of attention to her is she maga or just maga adjacent? Of course she believes that shit is real. ---

The “Liam Nissan” lefty troll account has snared many into making the same mistake. The account is frequently suspended because of its often hilarious barbs at Moms For Liberty, Kevin Sorbo, MTG and even Elno himself. “Apartheid Clyde.” ---

Yep, I follow that account and it’s hilarious when he gets told to stay in his lane and just go make movies. Although, to be fair, I’m pretty sure I was fooled by a parody account at least once in my life. Hopefully never anything quite so obvious though. ---

MAGA finance bro claims that Dean Phillips actually won the Democratic primary in NH and the party rigged a Biden win. This claim is then quickly denounced by (checks notes) Dean Phillips. I guess that, unlike certain other candidates, his mom taught him how to lose gracefully. > ---

I remember the press conference for Haley when Trump appointed her ambassador to the UN. He of course made the moment all about himself, saying if she didn’t do a good job, he’d fire her. He couldn’t put her over for such an important position, even when she had her nose all the way up his butt at the time. ---

To no one’s surprise, Donald Trump Jr. said a stupid thing last week, claiming that a “new” FAA policy to hire a wider range of people, including those with disabilities, somehow contributed to that door that popped off of a plane. Except that the policy has been in place since 2013. > **[Opinion | A simple fact check exposes Don Jr.'s ableist FAA rant](https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/donald-trump-jr-faa-dei-attack-rcna134514)** > > An FAA initiative being derided by the right was in place the entire time Donald Trump was president. ---

A Republican pushes back against Nikki Haley’s “This isn’t a racist country” statement. What’s causing the racism in America? The left is doing it with “ANTIFA and Black Lives Matter, and Barry Moore does it by voting to keep CRT [critical race theory] in our military.” So close and yet so far. > **[Alabama GOP congressman disagrees with Nikki Haley: 'Everyone has some racist...](https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/alabama-gop-congressman-jerry-carl-nikki-haley-racist-rcna135693)** > > Rep. Jerry Carl, R-Ala., said that in his experience, the GOP presidential candidate's comments that America is "not a racist country" was not true.
