“Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-Ga.) repeated social media claims that humans can control the weather — in the midst of a series of deadly hurricanes — is too much for some of her colleagues to handle.”

    I am so done with the misinformation and the lying and attacking. Republicans need to clean their shit up. I hope they get smacked fuckin hard this election. If not, they’ll just say it’s stolen. So everyone has to vote. We have to win in a landslide.

      I think it’s pretty clear by now that Republicans, and certainly Trump, will say they won regardless of the election results.

        I’m tired of pretending like democracy means anything in this country when someone like Trump could have been considered a trustworthy candidate for any office since, what, the 80’s?

    “She thinks we have no impact on the climate but somehow control the weather,” scoffed another House Republican.

    Who is this House Republican? I legit want to give them a cookie.

      You give a conservative a cookie and they’re going to want a glass of milk. You give them a glass of milk and suddenly life saving health care is illegal.

      Well its a house Republican that’s too cowardly to have their name affixed to the idea that MTG, and a whole bunch of the Republican base by proxy, are pants-shittingly stupid.

      So maybe spike that cookie with some exlax.

    You just need to decouple your tachyon emitters from the positronic relay and reroute some of the hyper-coolant from your warp core to the phase compensators. Pretty sure that either controls hurricanes or creates a black hole, one of the two.

    **What they’re saying: **Rep. Carlos Gimenez (R-Fla.), who represents a Hurricane-prone district in South Florida, replied to one of Greene’s posts writing, “NEW FLASH —> Humans cannot create or control hurricanes.”

    • “Anyone who thinks they can, needs to have their head examined,” he added – a biting direct rebuke of a fellow House Republican.

    Why yes please examine all of our Congressional heads. Also what da fk have they been ingesting? In the word of AvE, focus you f#k!
