Even if we pretended that quote were coherent and read what he intended (criticizing the electromagnetic catapults, not elevators) instead of what he actually said.... he wants a fucking tractor company to work on them? John Deere knows fuck-all about high-tech linear induction motors; even under the most charitable interpretation possible his position is still asinine and nonsensical!

Edit: I don't know why I'm even surprised by this. I guess it's just, of all companies he could've pulled out of his ass, John fucking Deere?! That's a weird random choice even for him.

This sounds more like an attempt to win a rural crowd and play with their "enginear stoopid, farmer smat" sentiment.

Sounds like he's talking about a specific implementation of electro-mangets, and giving his concerns that electronic systems applied to elevators in the Navy, could be vulnerable to water damage as compared to mechanically engineered system.

...so this obviously means he's fit and sane to implement The Heritage Foundation's Project 2025, a plan to "be a dictator only on day one" by firing any democratic party supporting liberals across all departments of the public services, and installing Republican party friendly employees in those positions instead. This would represent a level of political persecution never seen before in the history of American democracy, and possibly the end of American democracy.

It's what Clarence Thomas calls the dismantling of the "Administrative State" and has been a life long goal of his. Ergo it's likely the Supreme Court would allow this behaviour as part of "Unitary Executive Theory".

I say all this because it's easy to make Trump and MAGA look stupid. They, like many fascist movements appeal to a very simplistic base of people - but at the upper eschelons they do have a plan, and do have major peices in place.

Do not under estimate them.

You can really tell his uncle was a scientist

Sounds like he confused magnets for cotton candy. Easy mistake, as both can stick to certain things. Why are people blowing this out of proportion? We all know what he really meant.

Give him some green magnets. Tell him they were made by John Deere.

New York City writer Fran Leibowitz said this of Donald Trump. "You don't know anybody as stupid as Donald Trump. You just don't."

I don't remember the details, because hell if I'll waste my memory on that, but I do remember he was talking about an electromagnet, and insisted that it would stop working if sprayed with sea water.

It's not as outrageous as the literal thing he said, but it's still quite dumb.

The sad irony here being that the actor who portrayed Broccoli is, himself, a card carrying nutbar.

I would be a luddite about transporters too. They're just the Prestige duplicator except people treat it like it's totally fine. There's even a plotline about them fucking up the kill and leaving an earlier iteration of Riker stranded in a planet. No thanks, I'll be staying physical.

Who are we pretending to be here

Not here, but possibly back on Risa
