    When I was in Europe in 2022, I was frequently asked about Trump and what has happened to our country. I felt so bad because they truly struggled to believe that so much of America could be so stupid. I had to tell them it was true. It was embarrassing.

  2. “We’ll pummel red states with manufactured hurricanes so blue states can send them even more money than usual!” – No democrat ever

    Same tired old playbook. MAGA uses disinformation to create distrust and a sense of unease. This time they are using disasters to create noise. To compound the cancer, one of the wealthiest guys on the planet is boosting it on his platform.

  4. Seriously. If we could control the weather that effectively, don’t you think we would be already using that technology to help deal with natural disasters? “Oh no, we’ve got a massive forest fire in Colorado. Again. Somebody fire up the weather control, we need a heavy rainstorm for a few days!”

    Or “Oof, Arizona’s dealing with a massive drought again, and Washington’s inundated with rain. Let’s just nudge that over a bit and both problems can be fixed.”

    If we had control over the weather then SO MUCH of our countries’ issues could be resolved.

    For god’s sake, use the brain cells that you’re dedicating to conspiracy theories, rub ’em together a bit, and ascertain whether something actually makes sense before repeating it!

  5. I mean we all know Biden has the “Weather” button next to his desk just like he has the “Gas prices go down” button and “Food prices go down” button. /s

  6. Red states don’t get fewer electoral votes because of hurricanes. It’s the worse conspiracy theory ever.

  7. The dems are controlling the weather?! Ha! What a lot of nonsense. They can’t even control gas prices. The GOP are full of the proverbials. What a disgusting party.

    If democrats could control the weather, why haven’t they flooded Mar a Lago or Mitch McConnell’s house?

    If the government actually does control the weather why would it allow two major hurricanes to hit during an election season with major swing states in play?

    >No, the government is not controlling the weather.

    Not yet.

    Buckle up though, because the data isn’t looking good for us reaching climate goals without trying some supervillain shit.

    The idiots at my school were going on an on about how the democrats control the weather and sent the hurricane to North Carolina so that they could steal the land for all the lithium.

    What… the actual fuck??? These people teach kids!

  12. Part of me is curious what they are going to say if Trump wins, defunds and privatizes the majority of government agencies (including whatever secret lab they are supposedly cooking up hurricanes in), and then hurricanes come back next year. What will the excuse be then?

  13. Republicans don’t want to believe in climate change, but believe democrats can control the weather…

  14. I mean, the Republican government is controlling the climate, which is making these storms worse.

  15. Sure! That’s just what someone who was in control of the weather – but didn’t want anyone to know – would say! /s

    What’s actually scary about Biden even recognizing this is…..when someone as powerful as the president denies something that crazy people have been saying forever …. It becomes apparent that there actually might be some truth to it. Scary concept that denial usually exposes the hidden truths.

    Joe, I have learned that stupid in this country is absolutely unstoppable. “Idiocracy” was not a comedy. It was both a documentary and prophecy.

  18. Honestly though, wouldn’t you want the people who can control the weather in charge? I mean, if they’re smart enough to do that, just think of the other stuff they’d be capable of creating.

    Why can’t Republicans control the weather? I mean, can’t they make a maga hurricane to beat up the liberal hurricane? Problem solved.

    If democrats controlled the weather they would have sent a derecho to level the RNC, CPAC, and maybe even Mar-a-lago.
