    Default ‘The Dumbest Guy in Congress’ Asks U.S. Forest Service If It Can Change Moon’s Orbit

    Who in the hell are these electing crackpots?!! Everything is big in Texas, including the number of crackpot politicians too?!!

    Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX), who admitted recently that some consider him “the dumbest guy in Congress,” appears intent on proving those people right. On Tuesday, the Republican congressman asked a representative of the U.S. Forest Service, tasked with managing America’s national forests and grasslands, if the agency might consider branching out, so to speak.

    “I understand from what’s been testified to, the Forest Service and the [Bureau of Land Management], you want very much to work on the issue of climate change. I was informed by the past director of NASA that they’ve found the moon’s orbit is changing slightly and so is the Earth’s orbit around the sun. 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 inquired. “Obviously that would have profound effects on our climate.”

    He's right. The rising heat from the forest fire will alter moon's orbit.

    There are stupid people everywhere, but it is sad that Texas is electing such a stupid person to represent them.

    Gohmert was being sarcastic.

    Nope the dumbest man in Congress is Hank Johnson he thought the island of Guam might be in danger of flipping over.

    During a March 25, 2010, House Armed Services Committee hearing[40] about the U.S. military installation in Guam, Johnson said to Admiral Robert F. Willard, Commander of U.S. Pacific Command, "My fear is that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize", to which Willard replied, "We don't anticipate that."[41]

    To be fair, the thermal heat from a several forest fires might not be enough for the moon's orbit to sufficiently change.

    Yellowstone is needed to do that.

    Maybe he should ask Hank "Guam's going to capsize" Johnson for help, or maybe Marjorie Greene can ask the Israelis to use their space lasers. There's plenty of stupid to go around in Congress.



    Apparently such stupidity is not a new thing...

    Why are the dumbest members of Congress all RepubliQans?
    Republican Congressman Ken Buck:
    “We’re at a time in American politics, that I am not going to lie on behalf of my presidential candidate, on behalf of my party. And I’m very sad that others in my party have taken the position that, as long as we get the White House, it doesn’t really matter what we say,”

    Obviously you are part of the problem if you can't see that Democrats are equally retarded...

    He said it at a congressional hearing. But of course, it cannot be True. Gohmmie is the brains of the party. https://www.dallasnews.com/news/poli...limate-change/ Do a little work when you read something. Attacking the source and issuing a dismissal is lazy. Rolling Stone has done very important articles for decades.

    And just what was the TOTAL context ... if you had actually understood the article ... it is altogether possible that said witnesses semi-smile could have been in response to the obvious joke that Gohmert made.

    And now YOU are making a joke

    They have had first-rate writers for decades including Hunter Thompson, Matt Tiabbi, and many others. https://tetw.org/Rolling_Stone You are showing how your right wing deflector shields keep you stupid.
