no one could have predicted that the party of 'sweep the forest' and 'water-bomb the cathedral' and 'nuke the hurricane' and 'bleach the virus' would also be the party of 'shove the moon'

[SheltieLover]

1. Hahaha

Htf do people get that damned dumb?

[TheBlackAdder]

2. "Shove the Moon" Was that original name of the band "Walk the Moon" before changing it?

[yardwork]

3. Shove the Moon is a great band. Classic. Foundational.

[ChazInAz]

18. Ah, but...

The Moon's a harsh mistress.

[yardwork]

20. Except when The Moon is Down.

[KS Toronado]

4. Which reQug Senator thought we could shove the moon around?

[swimboy]

5. Louis G*hmert

It could possibly be accomplished by casting asparagus

[OMGWTF]

13. Jest dun't go castin' any aspersions on mah asperaguus. -- Louie "Goober" Gohmert

6. 'The Dumbest Guy in Congress' Asks U.S. Forest Service If It Can Change Moon's Orbit

7. Oh, so you libruls are rejecting simple, common-sense solutions

I suppose you favor radical, outlandish measures like reducing use and reliance on fossil fuels, greater efficiencies in manufacturing, cutting subsidies for carbon extraction, and increasing subsidies for renewable energy? That's just crazy! It's so much easier to tweak the moon's orbit. After all, what could go wrong with that?

[orleans]

8. add this one to the collection

9. Louie also suggested moving the earth's orbit.

I had to stop and think about that one. I think he was suggesting moving earth's orbit away from the sun to cool the planet, however, I'm guessing he doesn't understand the definition of orbit.

[BobTheSubgenius]

23. I know it's impossible to tell if he even HAD a glimmer of an idea on how to do that,

but even speculating on the idea doesn't yield much. All the world's rockets and missiles gathered in one spot and aimed at the ground instead of the sky?
Pile all the earth's mountains in one spot?

As you can see, I got nothin'.

[Hortensis]

10. To be fair, we should admit the obvious viability of these proactive options,

even if we hate America too much to pursue them.

Sweeping the forest floors would greatly help prevent forest fires.
Water bombing Notre Dame would have put out the fire far, far quicker.
Bleach injection would drop the rate of deaths from Covid in those people -- to zero!
Nuking hurricanes to keep them from forming speaks for itself. Duh! It's incredible that we allowed our international agreements to keep this from proceeding.
Rep. Gohmert is 100% correct that altering the moon's and/or earth's orbits would affect climate. Even he doesn't need a brain to know that.

[Bird Lady]

11. Is this a comedy routine?

Because it has to be, it can't be real.

[Jon King]

12. Repugs literally would be living in Mad Max type squallor if Dems did not exist....

These are some of the very dumbest people who think they are brilliant. The only thing between them and this becoming a 4th world country has been Dems coming in and cleaning up mess after mess after mess for them.

[OMGWTF]

14. Dems have been cleaning up Rethuglican messes since 1933.

The Republican party is a scum-sucking parasite that must be exterminated, especially now that Traitor Tot is their de facto leader. The Rs didn't even have a platform at their last convention other than "Whatever Trump said." Fk them with a barbed-wire-wrapped Louisville Slugger. I have fking had it with these traitorous, fascistic, malignant misantropes. Fking had it!!!

[Marcuse]

15. Gohmert has changed the gravitational constant of the universe.

[lastlib]

16. He has also significantly lowered the intelligence quotient of the planet!

I lose ten IQ points just seeing his face.

[world wide wally]

17. I have a suggestion as to where he can shove it

[Hekate]

21. The Triple Goddess is not amused by Louie-Louie Gohmert

[BobTheSubgenius]

22. That seems a shame to me, because many of us are.

Hugely, in fact.

As a slight aside...imagine what the town halls in his district must be like.
