Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Staff of the Federal Emergency Management Agency were left baffled on Monday after the head of the U.S. disaster agency said during a briefing that he had not been aware the country has a hurricane season, according to four sources familiar with the situation.

The U.S. hurricane season officially began on Sunday and lasts through November. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration forecast last week that this year's season is expected to bring as many as 10 hurricanes.

The remark was made by David Richardson, who has led FEMA since early May. It was not clear to staff whether he meant it literally, as a joke, or in some other context.

Let me say this plainly: hurricane season isn’t real. The so-called “season” is just an arbitrary window created by meteorological elites to justify their bloated radar budgets and keep the Weather Channel relevant.

Think about it. Why do hurricanes only happen when they say they will? Suspicious. Real weather doesn’t follow schedules. Tornadoes don’t clock in and out like they’re working one of those union “jobs”. But somehow hurricanes all conveniently “form” during the same five-month stretch? That’s not nature, that’s narrative.

I checked NOAA’s hurricane forecast and guess what? They’re always “above average.” Every year. If everything is “above average,” then your average is just a lie. That’s basic math. Wake up!

And have you ever seen a hurricane? Not on TV. Not on “satellite images” (which are just more made up computer pictures). I mean with your own eyes. You haven’t. You were told to evacuate. They told you to leave. So you leave, and when you come back, they say, “Oh, it hit. It was devastating.” And your shed is gone. Just the shed. Not the house. Not the mailbox. The shed. Interesting.

And why is it always Florida? Why is it always Louisiana? Is it because those are coastal areas? Or is it because they’re close to the weather machine off the coast of Cuba? Don’t roll your eyes. There’s a patent. Google “ionospheric heater” and open your third eye.

And how is a swirling mass of clouds over the ocean “tracking” toward land like a guided missile unless it’s being guided? These hurricanes have suspiciously good aim for things that are “random”.

You don’t need sandbags. You need answers.

You don’t need FEMA. You need freedom.

Too close to a real response for me to upvote in good conscience. 😩

[–] [email protected] 21 points 3 days ago

Had to check I wasn't somehow subscribed to conspiracy community.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That's some advanced fuckin sarcasm right there

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

I was halfway in the second paragraph before I realised.
I don't know if that says something about me, or something about the world as it stands...

This has to be the most indepth copy-pasta I've seen lately. Well done.

[–] [email protected] 60 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I didn’t copy nothin!

But thanks :)

Freshly boiled pasta is the best kind.

I boil mine straight in my morning coffee

I'm going to rule 34 the fuck out of this original material.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 3 days ago (1 children)

And have you ever seen a hurricane? Not on TV. Not on “satellite images” (which are just more made up computer pictures). I mean with your own eyes.

Indeed I have.

Hurricanes, nor'easters, the occasional derecho... a few tornados have been too close for comfort but nothing I could see. Have heard the freight train sound though.

Personally I blame those weird domes made of triangles. They're definitely causing the weather. cocks shotgun

Tornado sirens? Time to open your front door, step outside, and stare up at the storm

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Eh, unless the sky is green, you're probably fine.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Doesn't really stop anyone in my experience.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 days ago

Wow, that is well done.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I'm uncomfortable with how dependent I've become on the /s. It took a deep dive in the comment history to know if this needed one. Wow.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

yeah cause the / is the laser and rationality is the s in that letterpicture

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 days ago

10/10 as an actual Floridian. Those storms I lived through were made by Godzillas from the FPL reactor on Hutchinson Island.

Wait, I thought the Democrats were sending the hurricanes? I've shot at quite a few of them from my deck, and the way they avoid my bullets seems to be a weaselly Democratic trait that I'm sure they've built into these hurricanes.

Of course, that's the only weather that can be controlled precisely, because all other weather, and indeed, even climate, is a completely natural phenomenon that humans could have no effect on whatsoever.

Question, question from the Press:

If the hurricanes are caused by Jewish Space Lasers, and we fund massive amounts of Israeli military weapons development programs...

... why do we not simply ask the Israelis to point the hurricane lasers at Gaza, instead?

...

(Fucking hyper-omega level /s)

I'll tell you why, chemtrails.

Don't wanna burn them away?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago (2 children)

All we need is a calendar and a sharpie and hurricane season can be whatever we want it to be.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

And if that plan fails, we can always nuke them.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

How can our hurricanes be real If our eyes aren't real

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

And honestly, if a hurricane even comes, just blast it with your AR like a red blooded American.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

And why do these "hurricanes" always avoid crossing the equater, as if they're somehow innately aware of the one word I can't spell?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

Equator more like equitt your gotdamnt lies Mr Obama Hussein Soros.
