Louie Gohmert asks if the Forest Service or the Bureau of Land Management can alter the orbits of the Earth or Moon (how much, elect)

I thought that “Idiocracy” was a satirical comedy, but unfortunately it must be a documentary.


The look on the woman’s face is priceless.

This is, literally, laugh out loud funny -- at least for the foreseeable future. Or maybe some extraterrestrial advanced beings might be able to offer our government some advice on this?

Sorry, who is Hank Johnson. I would look it up, but I would bet that there are about a thousand Hank Johnsons out there.

He’s the Senator who thought Guam could tip over.

Gohmert was a judge. He's not some lame brain that managed to get elected. He's known for trolling people who say dumb things in testimony or have ideas that he thinks are stupid.
I watched his delivery of this. There was almost a smile but it was almost too deadpan. It does make me wonder if he's slipping a bit or if he just thinks the Bureau of Land Management shouldn't be expressing their dedication to fighting climate change.
Either way, it was a stupid thing to say that could easily be used against him (like poor Hank).

Wow. Literally everyone replying so far completely missed the point of that question.

Shows just how much you understand about your opponents' positions on the issues.

(Hint: You don't)

Gohmert is my rep and I'm DAMN proud of that.

ETA: Everyone but the poster above me, who got in a couple minutes earlier.
