Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Writing on X, the Republican politician said she was creating legislation that would make "the injection, release, or dispersion of chemicals or substances into the atmosphere for the express purpose of altering weather, temperature, climate, or sunlight intensity" a felony.

"I am introducing a bill that prohibits the injection, release, or dispersion of chemicals or substances into the atmosphere for the express purpose of altering weather, temperature, climate, or sunlight intensity," she wrote. "It will be a felony offense."

She added: "We must end the dangerous and deadly practice of weather modification and geoengineering."

I thought she'd prioritize dealing with sharknado attacks but there we have it.

Oh goodie, more we get to suffer more of Marjorie Karen Green's delusional stupidity. I love living in the Fascist States of America.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 days ago

I can see how people in the future could turn this one around on to oil and plastic companies. We should probably not stop this one.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Can you guys please try to elect some people that will actually do the job they are voted on to do instead of waste everyone's time and accomplish nothing. Tearing shit down is incredibly easy, building shit up takes decades. You ha e severely fucked yourselves over and destroyed all the work of the past 50-75 years of being a country in the modern world. Y'all are fucked and still talking about the next vote like it even fucking matters anymore. America is fucking gone man, you just don't realize it yet.

gotta shoot them. there's no other way. they have tried all the peaceful options already multiple times each.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

You don't shoot them. You gather in large mobs and take them out of their houses and burn them or hang them or decapitate them in public. There has to be "due process" by the law of the land, otherwise it's just nutsos with guns killing people. Mob justice is rarely the answer, but in cases like this it's the only thing that will work. You also can't bank on your compromised justice system to punish these people, they built the system so they can't be.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yeah it's so easy to just eject better people.

Hey, guys, all we gotta do is elect better people guys!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It would have helped to not elect complete idiots, but I digress. Not worth having a conversation with an imbecile.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That stick up your ass must be uncomfortable.

These aren't serious people.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago

They're decreasing the food, so they gotta increase the circus

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

We dont live in a serious nation.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

Seriously fuck this idiot and the idiots who voted for her. Just a disgraceful embarrassment. Then again so is work, so I get it, but have some dignity.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The only “weather modification machines” are fossil fuel powered energy plants. We should join together with MTG to outlaw them.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

I mean, technically we’ve been playing around with cloud seeding and such which is about the only thing I can think of that would even come close to what she is talking about. But it’s by no means a common occurrence.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Jesus Christ 🤦‍♂️

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

this is stupid, but it's it a wolf in sheep's clothing to ban any policy against climate change?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

I will fuckin love if she fucks around and discovers climate change

[–] [email protected] 63 points 3 days ago (2 children)

If this unintentionally regulates greenhouse gas emissions I’m going to laugh so hard.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 days ago

Express purpose probably saves them. The express purpose is to vent externalities

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 days ago

It would be beautiful if this dimwit bumbled her way into making the world a better place....but we're probably in the wrong timeline for that

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 days ago

Stop paying attention to her. Make sure the next thing you click on related to her, is footage of her murder.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 days ago

Why is mtg still able to talk?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

All the fucking stupidest people. Every goddamn idiotic conspiracy theory is getting a pipeline straight to mainstream news outlets and a rep in government now. Instead of some stupid Bircher literature or having to stand out on the street and screech nonsense at passerby who could just ignore the crazy people...

I am seriously wondering when the moon landing denialists and the flat earth morons and the HIV-denialists will get their day of representation, too.

We already have the anti-vaxxer dumbfucks, the Qanon loons, the evolution-denying dipshits, what else is missing...? How about David Icke level bullshit about lizard people?

JFC.

anything but the real issue

Marjorie Taylor Green is such a waste of resources.

Ugly, dumb and vile.

And I bet she stinks.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

She's so fucking ugly. Inside and out.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

These people are dumb as rocks. There are also similar elements in GA like Kandiss Taylor(stupid name) beginning their political careers also proclaiming that Climate Change is fake but also suggesting that unprecedented weather conditions must be the work of external forces presumably also blaming the jews.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 days ago

She's attempting to ban Geoengineering. From Wikipedia:

Geoengineering (also known as climate engineering or climate intervention) is the deliberate large-scale interventions in the Earth’s climate system intended to counteract human-caused climate change.[1] The term commonly encompasses two broad categories: large-scale carbon dioxide removal (CDR) and solar radiation modification (SRM). CDR involves techniques to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and is generally considered a form of climate change mitigation. SRM aims to reduce global warming by reflecting a small portion of sunlight (solar radiation) away from Earth and back into space. Although historically grouped together, these approaches differ substantially in mechanisms, timelines, and risk profiles, and are now typically discussed separately.[2]: 168 [3] Some other large-scale engineering proposals—such as interventions to slow the melting of polar and alpine ice—are also sometimes classified as forms of geoengineering.

Some types of geoengineering present political, social and ethical issues. One common objection is that focusing on these technologies could undermine efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Effective governance and international oversight are widely regarded as essential.

Major scientific organizations have examined the potential, risks, and governance needs of geoengineering, including the US National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine,[4][5][6] the Royal Society,[7] the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO),[8] and the World Climate Research Programme.[1]

starting with CO2, right Marje??

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

I goes the water misters to lower temperature at the likes of Disneyland would be illegal under that wording. They’re emitting a chemical (water) to explicitly lower the temperature via evaporative cooling.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Why the fuck did we thaw her?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

Nobody wanted that. She thawed naturally with global temperatures rise.
