I will wish natural disasters on whom I please, thank you. ---

Sure, go ahead. Only that doesn’t seem to be what you were doing. You were saying “A natural disaster occurred due to the presence of a loathsome person and his property.” Which is functionally the same as saying “A natural disaster occurred due to the activities of immoral people.” ---

Naw. MTG was serious (for certain values of “serious”); the posts here are jokes, mocking the MTG’s of the world who look for divine retribution (against the libs, of course) in any handy natural disaster. ---

You were saying “A natural disaster occurred due to the presence of a loathsome person and his property.” Which is functionally the same as saying “A natural disaster occurred due to the activities of immoral people.” I’m not sure how you thought that I inferred that the earthquake was caused by the activities of DJT. I was asking how MTG was going to rectify her statement about the evilness of the nation causing the earthquake, when in fact the epicenter was on property owned by her hero. ---

The purpose of such a plant is to purify the incoming content before it’s disgorged into oceans or rivers. Trump does the opposite. Maybe the lower intestine could be named after him. Medical literature informs me that “the lower gastrointestinal tract consists of the large intestine and the anus”. ---

I can’t find a reliable source as to whether the [Mobro 4000](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobro_4000) (better known in legend as the Long Island Gar-Barge) is still around, but if it is I’d offer it as a candidate for renaming. ---

> [@wolfpup](#): > > Maybe the lower intestine could be named after him. Medical literature informs me that “the lower gastrointestinal tract consists of the large intestine and the anus”. So, soon the medical literature will say “the lower gastrointestinal tract consists of the donaldjay and the trump”?

Any time you say his name, he wins. Stephen Colbert said it long ago. Naming _anything_ after him is a bad idea. ---

MTG is speaking to people who don’t give a flying fuck about factual information. They are, in fact, hostile to it. ---

To @Monty 's link: “I have 12 Corinthians. That’s ten more than when I had two Corinthians. Pretty soon, I’ll have all the Corinthians. That’s how much they love me.” Um … Mr. Trump?
