That any double digit percent is falling for this bullshit is a sad commentary of the state of the world today. And I'm not singling Americans out because there are plenty of idiots on the other side of the ocean as well.
can confirm (source: am on the other side of the ocean and certified idiot). But this is beyond even my level of idiocy. The part on 9/11 is really the icing on this shit cake: he manages to pit two conspiracies against each other:
Where are these assholes getting all these ideas about "weather weapons?" Oh, wait...
Trump Kept Asking if China Was Shooting Us With a ‘Hurricane Gun’
Near the beginning of Donald Trump’s time in office, the then-president had a pressing question for his national-security aides and administration officials: Does China have the secret technology — a weapon, even — to create large, man-made hurricanes and then launch them at the United States? And if so, would this constitute an act of war by a foreign power, and could the U.S. retaliate militarily? Then-President Trump repeatedly asked about this, according to two former senior administration officials and a third person briefed on the matter.
“It was almost too stupid for words,” said a former Trump official intimately familiar with the then-sitting president’s inquiry. “I did not get the sense he was joking at all.”
Hypothetically, if China did have a hurricane gun, what benefit does it give them to constantly shoot it at the US? America is one of China's biggest trade partners. It is highly counterproductive for them to do it.
Scientists ~~have said it is currently impossible to control weather events like Hurricane Milton.~~ first laughed out loud, said "oh you're serious?" and then let out a deep sigh while patiently explaining that "no - nobody can do that." They then picked up their scotch that was half-finished at 10AM and took a deep gulp.
But if you ask him about climate change, humans don't have the ability to change weather appreciable.
No recognition of how stupid he sounds.
The minute his last microphone is auctioned off and he's looking through dumpsters for his next meal can't come soon enough.
Ah yes, the tech the deep state so controls, but somehow Trump still let hurricanes hit and refused to use the same technology for whatever bullshit he would while he was president and had control of this supposed technology.
booooring... we have crazier people in congress now. who even needs this guy? you lost the sauce. boo. hiss. go away.
Alex Jones is AI generated, don't trust him.
Pass this message on in other places please.
They let the VP control the weather? I missed that part on the AP Government exam.
She needs to aim it farther south to hit Mar-a-Lago, then.
If dems could control weather why wouldn’t they use it for the benefit of States they favored, like maybe ending the drought in California or putting out the wildfires there or in the PNW?
That is not normal, he has to go straight to jail, to think for a while how being a retarded lying asshole is doing wrong for the society. How hard can it be to stop being one?
“So they have the power certified easily with just five or six big aircraft,” he ~~opined~~ lied.
Jeez, this guy is like Rush Limbaugh on meth.
Big question: So when they're in control of the weather, why not send hurricanes to Ukraine/Russia instead. Or China? Or Iran? Or Irak? Or Gaza? Or ...
Idiots like this are not totally to blame
The government, the leadership, the establishment, the country, the people are all complicit for allowing someone like this to have such a prominent place in the national discourse.
Jones isn't the only idiot .... the entire country is for having a large percentage of the population who listen to him.
The fact that MTG can still be in government in any form kinda backs up the founders beliefs that the general population is just too stupid to handle directly electing their representatives lol
Doesn't he have some drinking and crying to do?
Boy this dude’s gonna be pissed when all his livestream equipment gets auctioned off in that firesale to pay his legal expenses.
I spent some time on Threads. It’s shocking how many people (or trolls) are promoting the belief that all of these disasters are instigated and/or the impact deliberately worsened by Harris. Even though Biden is still president and Harris has no power over any of these issues.
I really can't believe this is what they are rallying around. This is the thing they've all decided yep that's the hill we're dying on.
Oh wow, he's really putting his reputation on the line with this one /s
