      that seems to be a defense of conspiracy theories.

      otherwise it should read “everything is a conspiracy when you don’t understand how anything works” — without the word theory.

      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.)

      But is it the same laser? Are weather controlling space lasers more of a rent and not buy? Or do we have the occasional dueling space lasers of someone didn’t make it to the mind virus meeting?

    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?

        Saying it’s God’s judgment is bad when it destroys the places attacking abortions, trans rights, and gays.

        They don’t want to admit that God may be against them.

        Careful, since weather and climate are the same to them, they’ll say the democrats are intentionally heating up the climate so they have an excuse to take away their beloved coal rolling trucks.

      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.

        And this is the problem with the way she worded it and everyone blowing it off as just weird instead of straight up fucking stupid.

          well she didn’t mean any of the rain precipitators. She meant, they actively controlled hurricanes. It’s both weird and fucking stupid.

          Actually. I wonder what would happen if you took a microwave array, of appropriately huge power, and directed it at the hurricane’s flanks, you know. to heat up the water on that side. maybe make some wind. I bet you could steer it “some”…

            She didn’t know what she means. I bet she’s heard of SA rain control in some off handed meeting and just strung a line of bullshit from that. Then weasel worded this so she could fall back on that.

      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.

    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.

    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.

      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”.

          There is a giant ball there. And evil apes. And the evil apes are dukin’ it out on the ball. You’re one of them. It’s basically all just evil apes dukin’ it out on a giant ball.
