SCIENCE!

I think adding a little more distance to the Sun's orbit around the Earth would be a more effective way to reduce the temperature.

stoopit is a choice.

never do yesterday or today what you can put off til tomorrow or next year.

Also needs to be thrown in a volcano.

Lawrence O'Donnell showed the video and among other things, called Gohmert the stupidest member of Congress in history.

And to think, he was also a judge at one point in his career.

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

I'm appalled by the obsequious response by the associate deputy chief of the National Forest Service: "I'd have to follow up with you on that one, Mr Gohmert."

Her response should have been, as tactfully as possible, "What the hell are you talking about? You can't be that stupid can you?"

I don't see her response at all obsequies, but more caught off guard and incredulous at the nature of the question, thinking — 'is he fscking serious?!'

What she should have done is very matter of factly say 'Sure, we can do that, [consults calendar] does Thursday next week work for you?'

I am that Masked Man.

All you can do, is all you can do.

There’s trouble — it's time to play the sound of my people.

Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.

Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.

I've been to the edge of the map, and there be monsters.

We are a government of laws, not men.

Everybody counts or nobody counts.

When a good man is hurt,
all who would be called good
must suffer with him.

You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.

There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.

We don’t do focus groups. They just ensure that you don’t offend anyone, and produce bland inoffensive products. —Sir Jonathan Ive

An armed society is a polite society.
And hope is a lousy defense.

You make me pull, I'll put you down.

I *love* SIGs. It's Glocks I hate.

I think the understated response was more in this vein:

When will Gohmert start moving legislation on the Sheep Dandruff Plague devastating his home state?

Given the display of his intellectual prowess in that very clip, I think we can safely say any humor above the level poop jokes presents a struggle for representative Gohmert, let alone actual sarcasm.

There is no upside for a government employee to engage with even the stupidest member of Congress. Budget retaliation will affect their entire department.

If all are afraid and no one speaks out, we're all doomed.

"First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me."
- Martin Niemöller

It's a Congressional hearing, not a Fox News brawl. Language protocol was kept.

She could have "played dumb"; she could have responded with:

"I don't understand, Congressman. What do you mean?" and/or

"How would that work? How could the National Forest Service effect that?"

Let Gohmert dig himself into an even deeper hole.

Not everyone is facile with PsakiBombs™.

SCIENCE!

So proud to have him inTexas.

Was there ANY indication that Gohmert comprehended her response that way??


If he offered that question seriously, would one expect any indication of him comprehending her response meaning anything other than 'Oh, yes sir, we'll get a task force right on it!'

I would thing it would have to be a little more pointed.

A lot of people in his side believe he was using sarcasim, trying to make a point of some kind.
