"The communist states are getting earthquakes. Look at California. You can't have more earthquakes than California. You want to figure out why?"

Californian here, the answer is "plate tectonics", and "fault lines".

Source: I graduated the third grade.

You can't blame Rudy, he has a fault line running right through his brain.

Also the former mayor of NYC is calling New York communist? That's hilarious.

I think it was from that fault line that dark goo was running.

You gotta be mentally defective to be a republican.

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 39 points 7 months ago

Not true! Some of them are corrupt predators, too.

[-] HopingForBetter@lemmy.today 21 points 7 months ago

I really just wonder how easy it would be, psychologically, to start a Red-Blooded for Jesus organization, rake in profits under a non-profit tag, then "have to close because of the economy" and retire.

Look at California. You can't have more earthquakes than California. You want to figure out why?"

I think they're called fault lines. This is on the level of "tides go in, tides go out, you can't explain that!" Followed by an "are you fucking kidding?" face

[-] CosmicTurtle@lemmy.world 40 points 7 months ago

There was a Republican politician that said something along the lines that God was punishing states because they allowed gays. And then his state got hammered in the ass by another storm.

He didn't walk back his statement.

These people just want to blame everything bad on their enemies.

[-] ShepherdPie@midwest.social 16 points 7 months ago

Years ago Rick Perry also demanded that Texans pray for rain and god responded by setting the entire state on fire shortly after.

Ah yes, NYC and Wallstreet. The bastion of communism.

[-] mwguy@infosec.pub 62 points 7 months ago

Maybe the home of Wall Street, the world's largest market, isn't Communist.

[-] affiliate@lemmy.world 15 points 7 months ago

wall streets only there to draw away suspicion. nobody would suspect wall street to be right in the middle of a communist city

If these dudes are going full clown mode, then the media should stop reporting on them. There's no value in anything they say. These aren't alternative viewpoints, this is just babbling in an attempt to be relevant.

Well by this logic, hurricanes and tornadoes must be targeting republican states. What's the message being sent there? 🤔 At least you can somewhat design and build architecture against earthquakes...

Republicans are supremely confident in the stupidity of their audience. Giuliani is a terrible no-good person, but I seriously doubt he's this dumb himself.

I love how this dried up old dipshit had it made in the shade after 911 but these maga dumbasses can't let their little glue sniffing brains feel like the spotlight isn't on them anymore. The world will be a better place once this idiot is behind bars or dead...or both.

God sending earthquakes to encourage states to be communists... See? It makes the same sense, none at all.

[-] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 25 points 7 months ago

New York, with Manhattan being a city that's basically the epicenter of American capitalism, where the world's most important stock exchange is, and that he himself was the mayor of.

Giuliani? The Russian asset? Communism?

Weird timeline.

God used to turn cities to rubble by raining fire. Now he makes the ground shake enough for books to fall off the shelf.

For a while I thought I was in the onion community and couldn't understand why many comments didn't catch that. And then I scrolled up and saw nottheonion.

[-] Binthinkin@kbin.social 21 points 7 months ago

I grew up in the tri-state when this guy was mayor and I just remember him being called Gestapo Guiliani. NY appeared cleaner, especially on 42nd and Times Square, but he always seemed to be a shit person despite the handjobs he’s received from the public.

I was wrong, he is worse.

[-] athos77@kbin.social 19 points 7 months ago

We were in the communist state of New York and then we were in Connecticut and we just escaped all the earthquakes then we got to Massachusetts which probably had some earthquakes and we got to New Hampshire

No no no, keep going, keep going!
