*BLINK* WTF?

The democrat from Georgia thinks that the Island might tip over.

This kind of reminds me of Abe Beame (I'm pretty sure, although it could have been Ed Koch) who was running in the NYC mayoral candidate against Herman Badillo, who was of Puerto Rico descent. In a press conference Beame said something like--stop it with the Puerto Ricans; if we sent them all back to Puerto Rico the island would sink into the ocean.

If I'm not mistaken, Johnson is now saying he was referring to some sort of ecological tipping point; I don't know much about him, but that's not what it sounded like. It was more like Trump's comments about drinking bleach as a covid "treatment".

Maybe he meant *THIS* Guam....

USNS Guam was built as Huakai, whose name is based on the Hawaiian language word huakaʻi, which means "journey".  The vessel is a 373-foot (114 m) long high-speed roll-on/roll-off (Ro/Ro) passenger ship.  The vessel was originally built for Hawaii Superferry, and has a capacity of 866 passengers and up to 282 subcompact cars.  It is 19 feet (5.8 m) longer than its sister ship, USNS Puerto Rico, due to a bi-fold ramp installed on the stern of the ship.

This guy did not even sound in the slightest like he was making a funny. The navel officer looked like he was about to bust a gut.

I didn't think Beame was trying to tell a joke either; nor trump with the bleach. Maybe a bit of an exaggeration of the facts as they saw them, but reflections of their stupidity and true feelings.

Um, sarcasm maybe?
When I saw that, I immediately thought it was old news. Seems I have a good memory for all kinds of stupid stuff. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/hank-johns ... e-buildup/

Note that it was the first of April.
