Texas Republican congressman Louie Gohmert asked a senior US government official if changing the moon’s orbit around the Earth, or the Earth’s orbit around the sun, might be a solution for climate change. The question was not posed to anyone from Nasa, but a senior forestry service official during a House natural resources committee hearing on Tuesday. Jennifer Eberlien, associate deputy chief of the National Forest Service, said she would have to 'follow up with you on that one, Mr Gohmert'
This is the pinnacle of Republican intelligence. He absolutely doesn't believe in climate change science, but wants to know if going full Space 1999 with the moon and Earth is feasible to mitigate climate change.

noimssays...Maybe if everyone on the left hand side of the Earth pushes it really really hard, and everyone on the right hand side pulls at the same time...
mxxconsays...He's the kind of idiot who could drown in his own cereal bowl.

If it means I get my own Maya, I'm totally down for that shit!
JiggaJonsonsays...Suppose I were an idiot. Now, suppose I was a congressman-OOH! I'm sorry; I said that twice!

newtboyjokingly says...I always wondered....If she can metamorph into anything, why does she still have lines of warts for eyebrows?
I'm hoping we freeze à la Buck Rogers, then maybe I can have my own Colonel Wilma Deering.

StukaFoxsays...Wait -- she has eyebrows?! I guess I never got that far north on her. Also, you have great taste in late-70s TV SciFi babes!

BSRsays...Or... maybe if we motorized all the windmills around the world and turned up the speed in the same direction....

Time for some old timers to walk away from politics.
newtboysays...Bobby, you are such a dishonest and gullible tool.
You had to go back over a decade to find one Democrat say something 1/2 as dumb as what Republicans put forth daily and as their party stance....and at the time "Johnson's office said that he was a tremendous deadpan and used a facetious metaphor to draw attention to the potential negative impact caused by the addition of 8,000 Marines and dependents to an island of 180,000 people." He never thought you could capsize an island.
So, an obvious joke about overpopulation "capsizing" an island vs an actual inquiry about the forestry dept having the ability and authority to change our orbit. Ghomert was NOT joking....he's a moron and it's time for him and any other moron who believes the big lie but doesn't believe science to walk away from politics.
When your team claims Jewish space lasers cause most forest fires, they aren't joking. When they say Democrats derive magic power from eating live babies, it's not a joke. When they claim that all mass shootings are false flag hoaxes and the dead are fake people, they aren't joking. When they say vaccines contain tracking microchips and mind control serums, they aren't joking. When they go off about the horrors of large corporations buying up property to rent out while making big profits by calling that socialism, they aren't joking. When they say Italian satellites magically changed paper votes from space, they aren't joking. When they say long dead Hugo Chavez rigged the election from beyond the grave, they aren't joking. When they say you should inject bleach to fight a virus they say is a hoax, they aren't joking. Time for your party to walk away from politics and directly into a mental ward, young and old alike.
So sad that's the best you guys have got. Cry me more of those sweet sweet tears of anguish.

BSRsays...Facts. You're always going on and on about facts. Don't ruin Santa Claus for me too.
Actually, it was soup.....
newtboyjokingly says...You know Santa comes from the tradition of Kris Kringle, who himself came from early Christianity and was supposed to represent baby Jesus, so....since Jesus was almost certainly black according to sparce biblical descriptions, Santa is black.
So, did I ruin it or make it better now?
Facts. You're always going on and on about facts. Don't ruin Santa Claus for me too.
StukaFoxsays...Wait -- so Jesus comes down the chimney and Santa gets nailed to the cross? I might have to re-examine my atheism.

geo321says...Honestly though, "Tides come in and tides come out you can't explain that" as Professor Riley said.

BSRsays...Tides come in if you are on shore.
Tides come out if you are in the water away from the shore.
Hope that helps.
