In other news, Empty G says she will introduce a bill to ban chemtrails and other weather modification fantasies. Perhaps even Jewish space lasers, but Bibi would pull her funding for that.

I remember the days when a weather event had assaulted a blue city or blue stae, and the GOP had said that it was God's punishment for their sins.


For example ...

Last time Trump was in the White House, he did the same thing, tried to enlist an army of the emotionally disabled, people who struggle with logic and need to have a strong leader to help them get through their day. Lately I have been watching YouTube videos of Hitler at his height and wonder just how many in this country would bend a knee to deadly fascism. Certainly Trump has his core of murderous creeps about him now.

There you have it. No more hurricanes. If we can't see them, they don't exist. All those people flooded out are just cosplayers, actors, shills for Big Weather. All those destroyed homes and cars--all fake, phony, ersatz. I hope all those coastal communities are listening because they have nothing to worry about anymore...

Extremists on both sides are a huge problem. Unfortunately, libs and cons are too busy whining about only half of them (that don't support their narrative) and giving the other half a full pass (those who do agree with their narrative) on their extremist that nothing will ever change.

"Last time Trump was in the White House, he did the same thing, tried to enlist an army of the emotionally disabled, people who struggle with logic and need to have a strong leader to help them get through their day."

I'm sorry, have you missed the "safe spaces" of the emotionally fragile, the inability to live life without being called a certain pronoun, not understanding the logic behind why defunding those who protect you is bad, etc. of the last decade? Everything you just said describes liberals waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than cons, and there is AMPLE, VAST, and any other word meaning absolutely enormous amount of evidence that proves that.

I'm no fan of most Reps but your statement is by far one of the most absurd I've heard in a long time. Liberals can't even use enough logic to know the definition of a woman and which bathroom to use, and that's not conjecture, that is pure fact regardless if you don't like it. Again, there is an almost infinite amount of evidence to prove my case that you can't deny it.

So, that just means you are choosing to spread misinformation and hate just because your ego and vanity makes you have to get everyone to believe you for some reason. In other words, your need for validation basically just describes yourself in your own statement.

"Religious conservatives claim Katrina was God's omen, punishment for the United States (2005)"

Yeah, this proves that you DO understand what hypocrisy is. So a stupid evangelist (aligning with the convservative party says that about Katrina and liberals go nuts. Yet, a natural disaster happens that impacts people of the conservative narrative and all of a sudden it's OK for liberals to claim the floods were due to the beliefs of conservatives.

Absolute proof that some of you DR lib kids do actually understand hypocrisy, which means much of what you say is predicated on the fact that you are ignoring your own hypocrisy that doesn't meet your narrative. Which is what many people have been saying and liberals have been denying. Yet, here you are, proving it beyond any doubt. Which is kind of surprising since you are one of the more vocal extreme lib kids on DR. I didn't think you would ever be so daring as to prove the point entirely. I mean, kudos for at least admitting you own your hypocrisy but why do you choose to hurt America by doing that?
