Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Writing on X, the Republican politician said she was creating legislation that would make "the injection, release, or dispersion of chemicals or substances into the atmosphere for the express purpose of altering weather, temperature, climate, or sunlight intensity" a felony.

"I am introducing a bill that prohibits the injection, release, or dispersion of chemicals or substances into the atmosphere for the express purpose of altering weather, temperature, climate, or sunlight intensity," she wrote. "It will be a felony offense."

She added: "We must end the dangerous and deadly practice of weather modification and geoengineering."

Can you guys please try to elect some people that will actually do the job they are voted on to do instead of waste everyone's time and accomplish nothing. Tearing shit down is incredibly easy, building shit up takes decades. You ha e severely fucked yourselves over and destroyed all the work of the past 50-75 years of being a country in the modern world. Y'all are fucked and still talking about the next vote like it even fucking matters anymore. America is fucking gone man, you just don't realize it yet.

gotta shoot them. there's no other way. they have tried all the peaceful options already multiple times each.

[–] AlexLost@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

You don't shoot them. You gather in large mobs and take them out of their houses and burn them or hang them or decapitate them in public. There has to be "due process" by the law of the land, otherwise it's just nutsos with guns killing people. Mob justice is rarely the answer, but in cases like this it's the only thing that will work. You also can't bank on your compromised justice system to punish these people, they built the system so they can't be.

Yeah it's so easy to just eject better people.

Hey, guys, all we gotta do is elect better people guys!

[–] AlexLost@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

It would have helped to not elect complete idiots, but I digress. Not worth having a conversation with an imbecile.

[–] the_q@lemmy.zip 0 points 4 hours ago

That stick up your ass must be uncomfortable.

They are coming after your 'chemtrails'. What a whacky weirdo bunch. Nothing better to do than chase imaginary windmills. MTG really needs counseling, perhaps meds, as she appears to be living in a made up world with little to no relationship to the actual world we all live in.

And Taco is going to try to kill any real ones, too.

this is stupid, but it's it a wolf in sheep's clothing to ban any policy against climate change?

Is this the work of a syphilitic brain?

[–] MoonRaven@feddit.nl 3 points 52 minutes ago* (last edited 46 minutes ago)

And thus more time and money is wasted...

Wasn't there some doge tip site where Americans could post this?

[–] Bwaz@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

But humans can't be a cause of climate changes.

God I hope she goes out riding a MAGA weather balloon into the sunset, never to be seen again

[–] Viper_NZ@lemmy.nz 2 points 11 hours ago

I goes the water misters to lower temperature at the likes of Disneyland would be illegal under that wording. They’re emitting a chemical (water) to explicitly lower the temperature via evaporative cooling.

[–] Tronn4@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

Jewish space lasers right?

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 2 points 3 hours ago

Oh goodie, more we get to suffer more of Marjorie Karen Green's delusional stupidity. I love living in the Fascist States of America.

[–] gabbath@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

So like climate change, right?... Right?

[–] Bristlecone@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

Jesus Christ 🤦‍♂️

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 1 points 37 minutes ago

Cool

Injection of sulfuric acid into the atmosphere (and maybe other solutions) may, at some point, be a requirement for humans and the entire biodome to survive global warming. It won't fix it, but it may delay it enough for us to apply other solutions.

But fucked up mtg of course wants humanity to die out so here we are

It's amazing to see how many stupid people are out there

[–] ijedi1234@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 hours ago

So if I pray to God, and ask him to send a hurricane to Mar-a-Lago, and he actually does, that's allowed?

[–] joyjoy@lemmy.zip 1 points 12 hours ago

So weather manipulation as a byproduct is okay?

[–] griff@lemmings.world 1 points 10 hours ago

starting with CO2, right Marje??

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago
[–] recursivepickle@piefed.dk 1 points 11 hours ago

So MTG acknowledges there's a difference between weather and climate?

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Depending on how climate change turns out for some regions, they will definitely come back to the topic of weather engineering. No rain for a year or two will do this for you.

Oh, the blonde clown again!

But she has better looks than Deputy Doofy...
