Newsweek: "appears to say"

She literally wrote: ""Yes they can control the weather,"

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?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

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

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

So the Democrats control the weather, but humans burning fossil fuels does nothing to the climate

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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".

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

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?
