Louie Gohmert: 'Can we fix the moon’s orbit to fight climate change?'

“I understand from what’s been testified to the Forest Service and the BLM [Bureau of Land Management], you want very much to work on the issue of climate change,” Gohmert said, adding that a past director of Nasa had once told him that orbits of the moon and the Earth were indeed changing.

“We know there’s been significant solar flare activity, and so … is there anything that the National Forest Service or BLM can do to change the course of the moon’s orbit, or the Earth’s orbit around the sun?” Gohmert asked. “Obviously that would have profound effects on our climate.”

[...]

“Well, if you figure out a way that you in the Forest Service can make that change, I’d like to know,” Gohmert added.

Some Cons will claim that this was Trump-style sarcasm, so here's the video so you can judge for yourself:



One of my political science professors once told me, 'If half of all Americans had a college degree or more, no Republican would ever be re-elected.'

When I look at Gohmert, I tend to agree with him.

 

LOL, feel sorry for any dumb democrat that listens to the media. No critical thinking allowed.

 

Yeah, because indoctrination occurs in colleges.

 

You dont listen to media?

 

There is some dumb too deep to plumb

 

If half of all prospective professors were not hired by the government, education, or the media, they'd be unemployable.

 

you think he is right? We should alter the orbits of the planets? Better yet why don’t we launch a rocket to the sun to turn down the heat - we could always go at night /sarc

 

Who should hire them?

 

And again dodging the jaw dropping ignorance shown by that representative

 

Strawman much?

 

Anyone who thought that altering planetary orbits was not feasible

OMG!! Please please please telll me you do not agree with Gohmert on this! Lols!

 

Try sense of humour

I mean I do not know what is more hilarious Gohmert suggestion or the or the cat in a sandbox attempts to cover it up

 

Not like democrats do that so far believe every fake story they have been told.

 

You weren't trying to be humorous.

And no one that I know of is trying to cover up what he said. If you think otherwise you're free to prove your claim. Don't forget to try and address what I actually said in my first post btw. Instead of trying to deflect into a strawman.

 

So you do listen to the media.

 

Lol, hardly.

I was just curious who straight ahead thought should be hiring professors.

 

See post #13.

 

I did.

 

I agree there are some that the term “those who can do those who can’t teach” does apply but there are many in the sciences in particular who work damned hard in professorial roles - especially those who also do research.

 

I am addressing the substance of the thread not allowing it to be derailed as every one seems to want. Now why are you talking about “indoctrination in colleges” (For which you have no proof) rather than this jaw dropping Trump level ignorance shown by Gohmert?

 

Dammit! That's 3:17 minutes I can't get back. It would be funny if it wasn't so frightening.

 

Twitter is having a field day!

 

Of course it was sarcasm, why would anyone seriously ask if BLM can change the orbit of the moon? We need to see the whole clip.

 

What an outstanding identification of a way to attack America, what we stand for, our scientific and engineering progress, the principles we stand for, our democracy, how our government was designed to work, and pretty much every other aspect that makes us a great nation.

It would probably be even more effective than if the Jan 6 insurrection on our democracy had succeeded in killing Pence, overthrowing the election and thereby creating an opening for Trump to declare himself dictator of the USA.

I'd say you fully clarify why the RNC needs to be ended and then reformed to be pro-American and conservative instead of just plain lethally stupid.

 

No it wasn’t - look at the video

the man is a prime TWONK (twit with opinion no knowledge)

sady we will see more of this because now the Trump signal of unbelievable dumb is not drowning everything else out the idiotocracy that is the American Republican Party will be more and more on view
