Marjorie Taylor Greene appeared to double down on her Hurricane Helene conspiracy theory over the weekend, following up a baseless claim that “they” can control the weather with an assertion that such a scheme might involve lasers.

If I had to choose between two parties and one of them had the power to control the weather, I'm pretty sure which one I'd choose!

I'm here to remind you that May is Mental Health Awareness Month.

Ms. Greene is here to remind you that you should be aware during months other than May, also.

It’s actually an acronym which stands for Telemetry Hastening Energy Yachts.

[-] Evkob@lemmy.ca 14 points 6 hours ago

I want this as a pronoun pin

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 17 points 6 hours ago

Damn I kinda want to get a polo with this embroidered on it.

[-] Godnroc@lemmy.world 8 points 4 hours ago

Another thing I'm certain she doesn't actually understand.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 15 points 6 hours ago

Look, lady. Us Jews are way too busy controlling Hollywood and the world's banks to bother with space lasering some hurricane. Figure it out for yourself this time.

It's the only thing that can add color to her face leather.

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 7 points 6 hours ago

Big fan of Courtney Cox I guess

[-] Dagamant@lemmy.world 15 points 6 hours ago

Don’t let her fool you, she’s in the government and has a say in where the lasers are aimed.

[-] AA5B@lemmy.world 14 points 5 hours ago

I’d love to see a reporter follow through with this. Put her on the spot for her vote on laser weather control, what she knew and when she knew it, if someone trusts her enough to put her on a committee what did the committee do when that came up. May she can start an investigation into the actions of the National Weather Control Service

[-] Dagamant@lemmy.world 10 points 5 hours ago

That’s why she says “they” instead of who she really means. She can always claim to not be a part of “them” and the label can be applied to any group people want. Keeps the hate train running on schedule.

[-] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 11 points 5 hours ago

But are the lasers kosher?

[-] SelfProgrammed@lemmy.world 27 points 7 hours ago

Just wait until she halfway understands the word "quantum"

[-] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 hours ago

Just like, how to pronounce it?

[-] SelfProgrammed@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Marjorie "Low Bar" Greene

[-] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 22 points 6 hours ago

There's no halfway to understanding quantum; you either do or you d-- ooohhhhhhhhhhh.

[-] AbouBenAdhem@lemmy.world 13 points 6 hours ago

Schrödinger’s epistemology.

The fediverse needs a special community for posts like this..

Nutjob News

[-] ptz@dubvee.org 13 points 6 hours ago

Sadly, until we, the US, as a country, get our heads out of our asses and vote these people out, regular news and nutjob news are going to have a lot of overlap.

There's also !nottheonion@lemmy.world I guess.

[-] over_clox@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

True that. I'm already subscribed to Not The Onion, but thanks for sharing, very fitting community for such batshit crazy news. 👍

[-] Wytch@lemmy.cafe 14 points 6 hours ago

Margie, are the lasers in the room with us right now?

[-] MapleEngineer@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago

As a Canadian I am embarrassed for the United States every day.

[-] Sabata11792@ani.social 9 points 6 hours ago

Actually, that was just me. I have the weather laser this week and I decided Florida was due for a bath.

[-] mkhopper@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

Next she'll start adding magnets into the mix.

[-] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 0 points 4 hours ago

Well of course there were lasers!!!

[-] nemonic187@lemmy.world 0 points 5 hours ago

The dumbest people on the planet.

[-] timewarp@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

No doubt they are dumb but a lot of them know they are lying.
