This is both almost hysterically funny and at the same incredibly disturbing.

Can prominent people post signs with headshots of all the Maga criminals in their front lawns?

It's sort of like forbidding internal combustion cars from having an exhaust. If you are going to burn something to move, then there has to be an exhaust of some sort. Even burning just hydrogen leaves exhausts of H2O.

No need for concern about loss of experienced staff when you've no intention of doing the job. There isn't a serious person in this administration from the top on down. But at least Capt. Chemtrail and the cast of Trump influencers are on the job. How do we survive this? If we do survive, what will be left to build on? Maybe a giant funeral pyre is more in order.

Chemtrails might actually explain why people voted for Carrie Lake, DJT, and all of the other MAGA craziness. I think that you folks are actually on to something here!!

They look in the sky and see a contrail. Not understanding how clouds work , they invent crazed conspiracies. I wish I could "mute" them all.

A few comments….

1) The expansion of the White House press briefings to include social media influencers is just another example of the Death of Expertise. It would be one thing to include some non-mainstream media people who are actually thoughtful and informed on the issues. But they seem to have simply gone for the bottom of the barrel. I can’t even begin to understand how anyone could be so stupid as to actually take the time to tweet (meaning that she’s publicly admitting that she is actually thinking about this) that the moon has gone missing. Just wait until the next solar eclipse when she’ll start wondering what it is that is eating the sun. Or maybe she thought that Despicable Me was a documentary.

But the other thing it tells us is how decadent the American people have become. I have never heard of this person before but it seems a safe bet that the “moon is missing” question that she asked isn’t the first time that she’s asked something profoundly stupid. Yet she apparently has a lot of followers (625,000). Those people have way too much time on their hands.

2) And the Dhillon story just shows how unserious many of those in the Trump Administration are. It’s a good thing that she doesn’t have an important job or anything or she wouldn’t be able to spend time soliciting input on what color Tesla to buy.

3) And now we have someone (RFK, Jr.) who will finally rid us of the scourge of chemtrails (and apparently bromium as well). I feel better already.

But seriously, think about what this says. It’s one thing to believe in a vaccine – autism link since it is a complicated topic. It’s quite another to believe in something that has been studied and understood and completely explained in clear scientific terms for years.

Unfortunately, this is an equal-opportunity conspiracy theory. I know a committed left winger who, along with her group of Facebook friends, also believes in chemtrails (and the “plandemic” as well). As does my seriously Trumplicant auto mechanic.

I’d say that this should be incredibly embarrassing that a high-ranking government official is a believer in chemtrails. But we passed that point long ago.

Where in Heaven 's name did Trump find Harmeet Dhillon? Is there a secret moron store?

From her Wiki page: "She is a regular guest on Fox News."

I think that answers your question.

Chemtrails someone told me about this and I thought he was crazy. Oh that's right it's yet another conspiracy theory! Thank goodness we have someone in our government now that can "look into" this! WOW~

Thank God that RFK Jr is there to save us from "Bromium" in the chemtrails! That's not something that actually exists, of course, but when the evil scientists invent it, we'll be ready for it!

And "chemtrails sprayed over Florida" may explain a lot, come to think of it.

LOL Yeah, I saw that, but I gave him the benefit of the doubt that he doesn't think there are tech bro venture capitalists in the chemtrails.

Can we just give these people the South, evacuate all of the sane people from there, and let them destroy their corner of the country in peace? Sharing a country with these idiots sucks.

We should have let the South secede in 1860, would've been better off without them. Unfortunately their paranoid reactionary worldview has infected half the people up north as well.

I have often thought the same thing. I don't think we should've abandoned the slaves, but keeping the South in the country poisoned our country. Perhaps it would've been better to hang every Confederate officer and politician. Andrew Johnson really screwed our country over/

Yep, and the ending of Reconstruction was one of the greatest tragedies in our history, we ended up abandoning the former slaves anyway.
