    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?

    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.

      US Postal Service, actually. How do you think they can promise “Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.”

      (Yes, that noise you’re hearing in the background is my manic cackle idly daydreaming about conspiracy theorists running with this.)

    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.

      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.

    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?

    Very charitable to assume her “they” meant The Democrats and not The Jews.

    Or maybe that weird ass HAARP conspiracy from awhile back.

    If this is true, we gotta talk Biden into running again. I don’t care if he can’t talk or stay awake, I’ll definitely vote for the weathermancer every time!
