We're gonna hafta find some radical thinkers if we're going to move the Earth out of its orbit.


Sounds like more of an Elon type thing.


Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX)

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congre ... s-n1270219

My god…



I feel like that is getting misrepresented. He's not suggesting we change the orbit of earth or the moon, he's trying to lay out a 'gotcha' by suggesting Earth's orbital drift is causing climate change and it's not something we can overcome.

It's a mindlessly stupid thing to say, but he's not literally asking for the moon's orbit to be altered by the national forest service.

I am very sad that I helped to misrepresent a Congressmen who is spending his time and influence to make himself more powerful at the expense of those whom he was elected to serve. Very sad, indeed.

That guy was, without a doubt, one of the dumbest people in congress well before this. Reminds me of Elmer Fudd.

He’s a moron, but Bi_3 is right. He made similar “the orbit is the problem, not humans” comments in an interview a few days earlier. It’s an argument against climate change legislation, not a proposal.

The White House confirmed there will be no post-summit news conference, with Biden and Putin standing side by side. Administration officials are wary of elevating Putin to Biden’s level by affording him such a platform.

“This is not a contest about who can do better in front of a press conference or who can embarrass one another,” Biden said Sunday. “It’s about making myself very clear what the conditions are to get a better relationship.”

Couldn't this just be an email? I hate when I'm asked to hold a meeting that repeats what I already said over the phone when setting up the meeting, only to meet and cover details that are perfectly captured in email form.

Biden Putin will be broadcast in full on Pay-Per-View for $49.95.

Current rumor is this meeting will take place over wings, where they get progressively hotter.

He clearly hedges with "directly" and "everybody knew", Burt.
