Gohmert asks if federal agencies can change Earth’s or moon’s orbits to fight climate change

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) on Tuesday asked a representative from the U.S. Forest Service if it was possible to alter the orbit of the moon or the Earth as a way of combating …

"Our current budget cannot support lunar orbital tuning. Perhaps the Congressman can allocate additional funds to our agency to advance this important work?"

If Gohmert were a Senator instead of a lowly House member, we could see the grand opening of the USFS Gohmert Center for Orbital Mechanics and Silviculture in Nacodoches, TX.

he's really that dumb or he's badly trying to claim there's nothing we can do because you'd need to change the earth's orbit. either way he's an embarassment to congress, to the state of texas, and to the fightin' texum sec university bulldogs (aggies, as that's too much an in-joke for 99.998% of y'all to get).

 

[soulcougher73]

I tried.

I honestly don’t know what's dumber, the thought that we could just change our orbit, or that the Forest Service would be the ones to do it.

Well, the forest moon of Endor protected the Death Star, so naturally the Forest Service should manage lunar orbits.

He's trying to have a serious competition with that moron Greene from Georgia.

You gotta admire the South. They consistently produce the biggest dbags in government.

Admire them? Think how far Man could be without them.

 

[nakedfrog]

I appreciate the way the guy responded, that could have taken a bit of restraint.

"I would have to follow up with you on that one, Mr. Gohmert," Eberlien responded.

 

[dawp]

read about this earlier, the response was basically 'we'll get back to you later', probably much later, like centuries later.

It seems pretty clear from watching the video that he was just being a jackass because that's who he is. I doubt he believes in climate change anyway so his way to sticking it to people is to being a twat about it.

 

[tweaker2]

And here I thought only Trump could come up with something as stupid and as silly as that.

 

[outriding]

Space Force!!!!!

Trump was clearly smarter than all of us

Twats at least have a use.

Ignoring the physics and risks of such a task.
Did he even consider the cost of MOVING THE FUCKING MOON OR EARTH?
In what weird retarded school would one think MOVING THE FUCKING MOON OR EARTH would be cheaper than just burning less coal & oil?

Speaking of douchbags, Trump is a New Yarker

This is a good point. Trump is the king of dbags now. But, in fairness, the only reason he can exist is because he is the creation of many many years of GOP dbags, of which many were from the south.

The moon's really not that big. I can cover it with my thumb; try it yourself.

 

[pmv]

Well, this is why you need to be nice to China. Clearly the way to do this is to get the entire population of China to jump up and down simultaneously.

Where’s Bruce Willis? He’ll get that f’n moon to move…he a driller!!!

You see, they just have to rake the forests and that would shift the mass enough to change Earth's orbit. It would also prevent forest fires.
