Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
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!

Weather control claims are firmly in the weird category.
“We can change the weather”
Also
“Climate change isn’t real”
Pick a fucking lane lady.
She seems the type to think all the lanes belong to her and fuck you, get out of her way!
wEaThEr IsNt cLiMaTe!1!
if we could actually get them to say this we would be making headway.
Unironically this is something I heard in Texas during the freeze a couple years ago
Careful, since weather and climate are the same to them, they’ll say the democrats are intentionally heating up the climate so they have an excuse to take away their beloved coal rolling trucks.
well. there are some weather control technologies that actually exist. Like seeding rain for crops. it's fairly common in most places these days.
but there's no way to precipitate a hurricane or stop one.
We could try nuking it.
“About 3 minutes and ding its done!”
And this is the problem with the way she worded it and everyone blowing it off as just weird instead of straight up fucking stupid.
well she didn't mean any of the rain precipitators. She meant, they actively controlled hurricanes. It's both weird and fucking stupid.
Actually. I wonder what would happen if you took a microwave array, of appropriately huge power, and directed it at the hurricane's flanks, you know. to heat up the water on that side. maybe make some wind. I bet you could steer it "some"....
(Mexico, if you're reading this, I absolutely won't try this, if you send me your best street taco recipe.)
She didn’t know what she means. I bet she’s heard of SA rain control in some off handed meeting and just strung a line of bullshit from that. Then weasel worded this so she could fall back on that.
