District of Columbia Council member Trayon White Sr. seems to think the snowfall that recently hit the city wasn't just the last sign of winter. "Man, it just started snowing out of nowhere this morning, man. Y'all better pay attention to this climate control, man, this climate manipulation," White said in a video posted to his official Facebook page. "And D.C. keep talking about, 'We a resilient city.' And that's a model based off the Rothschilds controlling the climate to create natural disasters they can pay for to own the cities, man. Be careful."

    Yeah, the antisemitism isn't actually the most disturbing thing about this.

    1. Drave Robber   7 years ago

      Next: feminists outraged about using "man" three times in two sentences.

  3. Eidde   7 years ago

    So, the Jews have a weather machine, do they? Let me suggest that they give the Middle East a more temperate climate, in exchange for peace.

  4. This Machine Chips Fascists   7 years ago

    "Illuminati boogeyman" was my call sign back when I flew climate control missions for [REDACTED].

    1. SQRLSY One   7 years ago

      Not ALL conspiracy theories are whack job! Now hear me out!

      What I have heard is that the Islamofascists are cooking up yet MORE evil ways to bring down aircraft! They have deviously devised aluminum-eating genetically engineered microbes, which, as we speak (write and read), are being secreted into and onto the main weight-bearing aluminum structural elements of American and allied (non-islamofascist) aircraft, military and civilian alike. At the release of secret radio codes, these aluminum-digesting microbial GMOs will destroy aircraft in-flight.

      What are the microbes called, you say?

      Wait for it now?

      ?

      ?

      ?

      ?

      ?

      ?

      ? The Aluminum-Eatee!!!

    2. Radioactive   7 years ago

      hey that was my nickname in college!!! or was it stupid booger man??? I forget

  5. Inigo Montoya   7 years ago

    Politicians like this are fueling the anti-immigrant types. Here's a city councilman who thinks it is odd to see snow in March (so he's from the Southern Hemisphere) and who has a very poor command of English.

    I feel some sympathy, but seriously?can't you bone up on the local lingo and on basic stuff like the seasons in your new country? DC is not Patagonia, or wherever he's from.

    1. Libertarian   7 years ago

      I don't think there are a lot of Trayon Whites in Patagonia, but I could be wrong.

  6. Conchfritters   7 years ago

    And D.C. keep talking about, 'We a resilient city.'

    English motherfucker, do you speak it?!?

  7. Fuck you, Shikha (Nunya)   7 years ago

    Why does he only blame the Rothchilds? The full list was "The Queen, the Vatican, the Rothschilds, the Gettys, and colonel answers before he went tits up."

    1. Fuck you, Shikha (Nunya)   7 years ago

      Colonel Sanders, stupid phone.

  8. Libertarian   7 years ago

    'We a resilient city.'

    The District of Columbia . . . our shining city on a hill.

  9. Jerryskids   7 years ago

    When DC sends its reps, they're not sending their best. Eleanor Holmes Norton makes this guy look like Albert Einstein.

  10. sarcasmic   7 years ago

    March: rolls in like a lion, out like a lamb.

    1. Quo Usque Tandem   7 years ago

      You just described my amorous life.

      1. sarcasmic   7 years ago

        At least you have one.

  11. SQRLSY One   7 years ago

    Is Trayon White related to Trayvon Martin? If so, then perhaps this historical epic poem will give us insights helpful for surviving this newest crisis!

    Martin went a fartin',
    And he did ride,
    With a sword and a pistol
    By his side,
    Lookin' for a "creepy ass cracker"
    To help him eat his skittles,
    So when he couldn't find his spittoon,
    He spit instead in his shittooon,
    And shit instead in his spittoon,
    While the cow jumped over the moon,
    And the dish snorted coke with a spoon,
    And we'll all know the truth real soon!

    1. Conchfritters   7 years ago

      Edmund Fitzgerald?

      1. SQRLSY One   7 years ago

        No, but did ya hear of the two Irish "friends with benefits"?

        Patrick Fitz Gerald and Gerald Fitz Patrick!

        Did you hear of the queer Irishman?

        He liked women more than whiskey!

        1. Conchfritters   7 years ago

          Luckily none of them were on an iron ore freighter on Lake Superior with Captain McSorley when the witch of November came stealin'.

    2. In Time Of War   7 years ago

      Dude, if you're going through "Agile Cyborg Transition Therapy" I totally support you. I miss AC. So, are there operations involved or just huge quantities of powerful drugs?
      A bit of constructive criticism, if I may; a bit less rhyming. Just let it flow from your like The Force. Otherwise, excellent work, keep it up.

  12. Abe Froman   7 years ago

    The precipitous decline in the intelligence of elected officials continues to amaze.

  13. Incomprehensible Bitching   7 years ago

    Word!

  14. NoVaNick   7 years ago

    This here is proof that its not only white nationalists who listen to Alex Jones.

  15. Juice   7 years ago

    Hmm. I guess I didn't hear all the comments. Which parts were antisemitic?

    Yes, it's a crazy NWO conspiracy theory about the weather being controlled by the Rothschild family, who happen to be Jewish, but just because someone has a crazy conspiracy theory about someone who's Jewish doesn't make it antisemitic.
