    Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has sparked a backlash after appearing to suggest that Democrats "can control the weather.

    Her tweet was “Democrats control the weather.”

    She’s not suggesting anything.

      Wait, instead of blaming the weather on God’s wrath for the gays, they’re just straight up blaming Democrats now? Have they lost their faith or did they never have it in the first place?

    This idea has been floating around the right for a while. I think it’s a way to explain the effects of climate change while blaming the libs.

      US Postal Service, actually. How do you think they can promise “Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.”

      (Yes, that noise you’re hearing in the background is my manic cackle idly daydreaming about conspiracy theorists running with this.)

    Democrats see a mentally ill person standing on the corner ranting and raving and shouting insane gibberish, and they think it’s sad and we should help that poor person.

    Republicans see the same thing and think we should elect that poor person.

      well. there are some weather control technologies that actually exist. Like seeding rain for crops. it’s fairly common in most places these days.

      but there’s no way to precipitate a hurricane or stop one.

      Hilarious that people who don’t believe in climate change also believe that the weather can be controlled and targeted at specific communities. And by “hilarious” I mean “makes me want to start hitchhiking to Uruguay”.

      It’s that neutral “both sides” media bullshit- just like you can’t call someone “school shooter”, it’s “alleged school shooter” until the court ruling come down the pipe six months later.

      Is this better? Idk.

          I’d rather drop that “mini moon” that’s in temporary earth orbit for a bit here. It’s only 33ft and would probably burn up in atmosphere…but I’m sure we could figure out a way to get a just-large-enough chunk to survive hitting The Swamp ™️
