I mean, how much crazier can this woman get? This is rich coming from someone who has repeatedly voted AGAINST Disaster Aid and now has her hand out for Disaster Aid for her state that suffered the wrath of Hurricane Helene. This is the same woman who supports Project 2025 defunding the National Weather Service, NOAA, and the National Hurricane Center.Right-wingers have long promoted wild theories about weather control, and Greene, a Donald Trump ally, gave them a big boost. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) pushed an unhinged conspiracy theory about Hurricane Helene on Thursday as a large swath of the southeastern U.S. still struggles to recover from the storms devastating floods, with residents desperately searching for missing loved ones and mourning the 215 people killed.
Yes, they can control the weather, Greene wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, Thursday evening. Its ridiculous for anyone to lie and say it cant be done.
Greene didnt specify in her tweet who they were (although such insinuations are typically antisemitic, and wouldnt be out of place coming from a congresswoman who once blamed wildfires on Jewish space lasers). But another post, from earlier in the day, seemed to suggest Greene was blaming Democrats.

To make it harder to vote in mostly Republican run states that have been quite active already to make it harder to vote?

Regardless of the outcome of the presidential election, there are huge swaths of Americans living under idiots like MTG. We could be so much greater as a nation. We could have so much more. We could eliminate poverty, hunger, homelessness, but we're held back by idiot, retrograde morons who never think about the future.
