The scary part ...

[NanceGreggs]

... of Gohmert suggesting that changing the earth's orbit is a solution to climate change is that he keeps getting re-elected by people who think he's way smarter than they are - and scarier still is the fact that he probably is.

[calimary]

13. Well then, send them up into space and their newfound magnetism

[Duppers]

11. There's a famous quote attributed to H. L. Mencken...

...to the effect that, if Yahoo Bible Belt pols scare you, you should see their constituents...

12. I was just marveling last night that there are people who actually vote for him

But these days, he's hardly the only one that's mind boggling. There's even a MAGA moran in my district of New York that's currently making cringeworthy national headlines that are embarrassing to anyone who's been paying attention...
