(1,200 posts)Whoever they are, wanted to destroy fertile Trump counties and make voting there more difficult. So basically, voter suppression.

(60,320 posts)But is not the same "they" as sent the droughts and torrential rains to California.

(1,200 posts)They are too stupid to just pass voter suppression laws like Rs do. So they had to invent a weather machine.

(4,090 posts)To hear the never-right dismissing climate change because, they say, the masses of earth's people and economy can't change climate; while also hearing that team say, "they" can change the weather.

Sadly, we can control the weather through our nefarious means about as well as she can through prayers to whatever caricature of Christianity she professes to follow.
Even cloud seeding to make the rain fall on crops doesn't always work, Marge.

(43,351 posts)Yeah, she's nuts, a power monger tool and provoker of fear.
That said, many crazy people can still be like sane people, a little afraid of what little they hear about weather experiments, but don't know how to research or get someone to explain its timespan and workings more clearly. Perhaps Swalwell might look into these claims instead of mocking her; it's not wrong for average people to actually be more informed about what government's actually done in exploring weather.

The Union of Concerned Scientists points to the danger that the use of climate engineering technology will become an excuse not to address the root causes of climate change, slow our emissions reductions and start moving toward a low-carbon economy.

(23,457 posts)My wish, is that someday the Federal Government could seize his ill-gotten Palm Beach estate - and convert it into a National Museum of Corruption and Abuse of Power.
The gift shop would include Sean Hannity and Laura Ingrained bobbleheads, of course.
Timeflyer
(3,795 posts)Or a Natl' Museum of Corruption and Abuse of Power in center of Washington DC national mall. So school kids grow up knowing how close we came to losing our democracy to a sociopathic conman and his craven bootlickers.

(10,438 posts)I clocked that the devastation of Helene couldn't be ignored by even MTG. She actually acknowledged climate change a few days ago. Now she is back to her true north - conspiracy theorist.
Thanks Congressman!
