I laughed so hard at that... I hate this timeline but it sure is funny sometimes
- At least it seems you read the article. Some people comment without reading, and it's quite evident.
How long before Nazi Barbie is back in the news with her Jewish Space Laser accusations?
- I'll give it three mooches, tops.
I legit thought you editorialized the headline.
okey, that headline is dumb as fuck as well. i think there is enough evidence for the wildfire even without the falcon 9 photo 🤣
- So where's the evidence for such a grand claim? According to the Maui truthers, it can be found in the aforementioned Falcon 9 launch photo from May 2018. The lovely Falcon 9 streak photo has been used on Facebook, Reddit, Truth Social, and certainly other dens of conspiracy theories to purportedly show a directed energy weapon in action, blasting a target on the surface of Earth.
  They're not denying the wildfires happened, they're going "space laser" cuckoo for Coca Puffs.
  
  It was those same lasers that brought down the twin towers in 2001!
  
  There's actually a photo of the US space laser in action, shot by a Russian spy satellite!
- they're blaming the wildfire on space lasers because these people can't possibly admit that climate change is going to ravage our towns
- Ah, so you didn't bother reading the article.
  
  try again. you can do it.
