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."

So if I pray to God, and ask him to send a hurricane to Mar-a-Lago, and he actually does, that's allowed?

God I hope she goes out riding a MAGA weather balloon into the sunset, never to be seen again

Could MTG accidentally tackle climate change ? that would be amazing

But humans can't be a cause of climate changes.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

So MTG acknowledges there's a difference between weather and climate?

Misting fans are now a felony

AC units blackmarket about to blow up

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago (2 children)

It's because MAGA is spreading conspiracies that geoengineering is to blame for the Texas flood.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It doesn't make sense, they should just say those people angered some God and leave it at that, they're followers are fucking morons.

So like climate change, right?... Right?

[–] [email protected] 39 points 4 days ago (1 children)

This is performative ignorance, to please the home schooled bible toting cretins who vote.

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

Right, it makes more sense

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

So weather manipulation as a byproduct is okay?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago
[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

They are coming after your 'chemtrails'. What a whacky weirdo bunch. Nothing better to do than chase imaginary windmills. MTG really needs counseling, perhaps meds, as she appears to be living in a made up world with little to no relationship to the actual world we all live in.

Wonder if this could be used against fossil fuel or chemical companies. The only words that would need to be dropped is "express purpose"

[–] [email protected] 166 points 4 days ago (4 children)

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,”

So carbon dioxide? Guess we better shut down the coal power plants. MTG says so!

[–] [email protected] 64 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Alas "express purpose" is in there. Clearly the express purpose for petrol companies is profit. And CO2, other pollutants are just inadvertent things that happened on the way to (destroying the planet for) profit. I mean they only sold the petrol products, they didn't force people that purchased the gasoline to burn it. Maybe we can go after the combustion engine producers?

Here's a head full of sailboat fuel. It’s amazing she can even remember to how to breathe.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

Perhaps she is powered entirely by her parasympathetic nervous system, brain included

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

Jewish space lasers right?

[–] [email protected] 31 points 4 days ago (1 children)

This is awesome. Do it. What’s gonna happen when the contrails don’t disappear? Who are they gonna arrest? Gonna have to stock up on popcorn because the theatre of the ignorant is about to get really interesting. Finally a piece of legislation I can get excited about.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 4 days ago (1 children)

This is a bill to arrest people trying to prevent climate change.

If I could control the weather, this woman would never not be getting targeted by lightning. She'd have to run serpentine whenever she was outside to dodge all the lightning bolts aimed at her.

Laughs in Final Fantasy X

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 days ago

Calm down Zeus. You're getting another unhealthy attraction to a mortal woman.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 4 days ago (1 children)

So go after the bullshit corpos releasing megatons of co2 into the atmosphere

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago

That's not for the express purpose of altering the weather. That's just a lucky happenstance for ol' Marge.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago (2 children)

wow that's quite a twist, USA is going green! Right?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Thats what I'm understanding. Finally someone willing to take on the Fossil Fuel Industry

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

I’m half considering drafting a thank you letter for her efforts to take on Big Oil and friends.

@RememberTheApollo_

OMG I think this is an opening for an absolutely different kind of green new deal. Wait till she finds out how the weather is being modified (can somebody tell her that Elon Musk’s data center is running the numbers and doing it?)

And I’m going to have to ask now that the Republicans are in charge of everything with the next big disaster occurs. What is she gonna do?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 4 days ago (1 children)

So, she wants to ban "cloud seeding"?

[–] [email protected] 77 points 4 days ago (4 children)

So would preventing “geoengineering” also prevent trying to stop climate change?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

Or like, a river flooding

[–] [email protected] 35 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I honestly can't tell whether her intent is to block any counter-climate change projects or if this is just a dumb chemtrails thing.

I mean, I assume it's chemtrails, given the source, but it could easily be a "I like the smell of forest fires, and you'll reduce hurricane intensity over my dead body." Given the source.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 days ago

THEY will tell you when YOU broke the law. Then "deport" you to a private funded prison in a foreign country.

They embrace the invisible. You have no defense against their claims.
