She is a beacon of fuckin sunshine. So I can see why I care what that cunt thinks.
If she tripped into a pile of cactus and then into lemon juice while becoming paralyzed I still don't think it's a cruel enough fate for such a vile human.
But maybe not inaccurate. What other pronoun should you use to describe personified swamp scum?
Listen, I appreciate and support your rhetorical goals, but that's definitely a noun with some adjectives.
Being so stupid is unfortunately a core value of the Republican party and it's members.
It’s beyond ridiculous. It’s so stupid. It’s got to stop
I like to think that "it" refers to MTG here. It talks a lot of shit.
I dare you, Marjorie, to complain that we're disrespectfully using the wrong pronoun.
The Whitehouse needs a competent and derisive science explainer. Someone that can explain in simple terms the amount of force you'd need to stop a hurricane compared to the entire arsenal of WMDs on the planet, and how stupid the conspiracies are.
Make the village idiots feel like idiots again. Not empowered outside the box thinkers.
Wasting your time explaining this at a low enough grade level that the people who believed it would understand is part of what the likes of MtG want, wasting hours or days of effort to refute a lie made in seconds. You are also reliant on people actually engaging with the content and believing the content when they live in their own alternate information reality divorced from the laws of physics and actual math.
Whats needed is actual punishments for spreading such bullshit in the first place, stop the source of the disinformation.
Maybe you then have them explain about patterns and how "it" has historically spewed lies so likely will do so more.
I vote Randall Monroe or Derek from Veritasium. Although I would not wish the nonsense that would come with being in a government cabinet position on either of them.
"Dems control the weather to manufacture storms and wipe out republicans"
And then in the next breath
"People don't exert enough control over things to be able to influence climate!"
It’s the republican way.
Voting age should be 25. 18 year olds are still kids. Source
15 year olds should be trialed as adults, even for non-violent-crimes like shoplifting. Let‘s make this a state law! Source
We should send all 18 year olds to mandatory military service Source
Remember that close to every second voter in the US is braindead enough to vote for these evil dunces.
This is the difference between a gun and a bomb. A gun has all these fine tolerances and requirements, and then you get this tiny focused result. A bomb just requires a bunch of explosives and something to hold it.
TLDR; wrecking things is always easier than operating them in a controlled and predictable manner.
It's just the hypocrisy of it all. If you believe we can create storms and steer them at people, then you must believe that humans can alter the environment.
You cannot hold both of the beliefs I mentioned without being a brainwashed moron.
Well, to be fair, you can't hold any one of those beliefs singularly and also not be a moron, but believing both of those things at the same time makes someone a double-moron.
Yeah, that's fair.
I think there once was a time when we'd call for the men with the butterfly nets for the likes of Empty G.
gonna be using Empty G now, that's excellent.
Why have I never thought of this before?!? I’m adding Empty G to my list that also includes Rhonda Sandtits
I still call her Margarine.
But her research was peer reviewed by Alex Jones
Pee reviewed
Like the Trump tapes that Putin stores behind his gifted covid testing machines.
Georgia why do you keep electing the missing link
Competency and morality tests should be required to run for office.
Then most office holders won’t be able to hold off regardless a party. /s
Competency and morality tests should be required ~~to run for office~~ to vote.
Who gets to decide what's moral or competent? We've been there, it doesn't end up well. It's better to have a good public education system.
I don't a totally think that's a good idea. I was being pithy.
If the president could really control the weather he'd make sure to only hit red states (and that ladies house for exposing him).
that's what he would say /s
The librul brain trust has spoken!
He didn’t even slam it. Smh my head.
