Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Newsweek: "appears to say"
She literally wrote: ""Yes they can control the weather,"
Blasphemy
Yeah one of my cousins even mentioned some dude he knows was saying the Dems intentionally shifted the hurricane to clear out the area for lithium mining
If Democrats had thst power I feel we use it to wipe her and Donald Trump along rest of Maga out of this country. I wish we had Xman like Storm. Blow Trump plabe right out of the sky and into the sea.
No kidding. If Dems could do that, Florida would already be underwater.
Is it possible to learn this power?
Not from a Jedi
She truly is from another age. The Ice Age.
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.
Tbf, the USAF had the tech in the 90s to do this. (Edit: I am not saying the dems did the bad weather thing)
Openly stated in the AF 2025 documents
Weather as force multiplier. Owning the weather in 2025.

That’s… that’s one of the most terrifying things I’ve ever read, because every page is completely realistic.
Like… holy shit

They really think we live in Red Alert 2
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.
So the Democrats control the weather, but humans burning fossil fuels does nothing to the climate
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".
I thought about that only to realize that the people Uruguay are probably equally as bad and I'm stuck here on this rock with billions of them until someone gives me a ride.
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.
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.
Very charitable to assume her “they” meant The Democrats and not The Jews.
Or maybe that weird ass HAARP conspiracy from awhile back.
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.
Was this during their attempt to take over Central City and destroy The Flash? Do they also have a freeze gun, spin like a top, and jump into mirrors?
