OLLINS: But the Pentagon reviewed this wind project in 2023 & found that there were negligible national security impacts BURGUM: In particular there's concern about radar relative to undersea drones...people with bad ulterior motives to the US would launch a swarm drone attack through wind farms
That is word salad that has gone brown round the edges and drowned in rancid dressing. He heard someone explain something and remembers a few key words. Sometimes you can figure out what it is these people are trying to say if you can translate MAGAish. Not here. Not a clue.
THEEE DUMBEST EFFING TIMELINE
Trump is afraid his tupee will blow away ....
These people are idiots… the same could be done to ANY public utility or strategic infrastructures
Yep. But now MAGA know their new talking points.
Making it up as they go.🙄
Or... The president's family is invested in other fuels and utility companies. Talk about "bad alterior motives to the United States" and "preferential treatment". His greed will kill us all.
And CNN is just republican propaganda now
He's an idiot
The idiot experts in Trumps regime
Tinfoil logic from an enemy within. www.shortlysts.com/p/trump-to-r...
I could launch a swarm drone attack out my bedroom window but that doesn't mean it's going to happen, Dougie.
You can easily tell he’s from North Dakota. He’s all googly eyes in front of the media
“So why did this adminstration cut funding to every part of the energy sector except for coal and oil?” Guest throwing darts at a board with random words on it: “You see its because of the concern over… alien clowns attacking us… with toaster ovens… from underground” “Quite intriguing”
TIL brain worms are at an epidemic level.
He was supposed to be the "serious" one in this administration of fruit cakes.
At this point, the only thing that will save us from these nuts is squirrels.
Remove him from office !
So a windmill blade coming off, bad. Filling the entire gom with oil, killing the fishing industry for years, 11 deaths on the platform, months to plug well, millions of dead animals, the worst environmental catastrophe on record, good. These fkn idiots!
Yup... pretty much. 🤪
Just making it up as they go along. 😡
When their brainwashed moronic braindead voters believe every dumbass lie that doesn't even make sense and the media will sane-wash everything coming out of the white house to make things seem normal instead of the extremely fucked up situation republicans have put us in, why even try?
No kidding, and it just shows the incredible disdain these people have for their own voters.
Especially for people that stupid. “I love the poorly educated”
He needs to take Cankles McTacotits’ dick out of his mouth
Well said haha
The #FascistGOP is moving RAPIDLY to circumvent EVERY corporate process, government program, government agency, in order to establish #moneylaundering cash flow into their personal off-shore tax-free coffers. @democrats.senate.gov @housedemocrats.bsky.social, what are you doing to stop them?
😂😂😂
They. What.
Did he call the Pacific Northwest the most populated part of the country?
I am not a scientist, but that sounds like hooey to me.
I am a scientist, and can confirm your hooey detectors are working correctly.
I was afraid of that!
Nonsense from the Trump administration. Nothing new.
Say what?
Translation: Trump needs that money for another golf course.
This is the dumbest thing I have ever heard, and I would love to read the actual scientific papers he is claiming exist. That said, this fossil fuel investor would actually make more money if he invested in clean energy along with the fossil fuels he invests in. Neither is going away! More $$$$
But thé growth rate is diverging.
It wouldn't be if we we actually investing in clean energy
The other direction. Economics is hard to bend even with evil intent.
Fact
And if my grandmother had wheels she’d be a bicycle
A ...swarm drone attack through wind farms... Is this moron on drugs ;) :) :)
LIES
I’m confused: Wind Turbines: Stick up in to the air. Radar: Detects things moving in the air. Undersea drones: are under the sea?
Oh brother!!
Total bullshit!
It's remarkable how much people will debase themselves for Trump. Whatever he says or claims, they must openly support at all times. It's gross
Sounds like the plot to a shitty, straight to redbox, scifi movie.
Sounds like Don Quixote.
Blah blah blah… ‘BIG OIL. Blah blah blah BIG OIL. DRILL Baby Drill of the regressive Reich.
MORON
They just want to waste more taxpayers money.
Why is this news? What the fuck is going on? Is every journalist in the US permanently drunk?
Wtf? Is this dude for real?
Doug Burgum, software salesman.
Fuck these morons!
And the bogeymen. Don't forget about the bogeymen
Maybe in a bad sci-fi movie, but reality is overrated, I guess.
That’s quite a reach
If you wrote this for SNL you would make a million. Swarms of drones coming through wind farms.
Hocus Pocus of a madman.
So some agency has invented a radar that works underwater defying the laws of physics? Why is this not global news?
Or, alternatively, why is it not global news that this regime is so stupid they think radar works underwater.
Wth?
They're completely insane!
Doug is a lying asshole.
But don’t we have laser-equipped, mine clearing dolphins to stop that? I remember that from those first, exhilarating (for the press) days of the Iraq invasion. Maybe if I just subsided into amnesia I’d be able to handle this insanity better. Works for the media.
Burgum's another lying sack du shit. Seems as though there's no bottom to the barrel of them.
ALL conservatives are liars & hypocrites. Why ask them anything when all they do is lie? I wouldn’t trust a conservative to pick up my dog’s 💩, they’d probably pollute the river by throwing it in the water. They can’t be trusted.
Somebody could take over an airplane? Maybe we should ground all the airplanes?
Serious question. Is Burgum seeking psychiatric help for these delusions?
The Pacific Northwest? The most populated part of our country? Is his teleprompter ChatGPT?
Radar doesn't work under water, you dumb f*ck!
OMFG, this guy is so far gone down the rabbit hole he is beyond saving.
His head is all the way up tRump's ass.
Theoretically, the capitalist system rewards the Best & the Brightest amongst us with great riches & power. Burgum, et al, seem to be a discounting factor to that equation. Jes sayin.
Remember that documentary film a while back about the Borg going back in time and attacking Earth? That’s only a few years away; we have to be prepared!
Resistance is futile ‼️
Okay but that's not even, like, possible man.
WHAT!!!!!!!!
this entire administration speaks exclusively in mad libs
I guess journalists have to appear professional, but I wish one off them would just say, "Wtf are you talking about? That's ridiculous." Just once 🙄
They run our government…
Interesting that he specifically referenced the PNW. Why you mentioning us Burgum? What’s Donnie and Vlad up to?
Burgum comes across as being as daft as a brush (although I don't think he really believes this BS). The real reason is that POTUS is into the neck with fossil fuel companies, and they see renewables as a threat to their profits (despite them being the only way we might escape climate catastrophe)
He isn't daft. He's a smart man, but he gave up all his honor to follow Trump. He lost it all during Covid. He buckled to Republicans then and has been tumbling ever since.I'm amazed how these people have no pride or dignity.
He sounds daft, but I accept he might not be. But how low does one have to sink to bow before the great one? 🙄
I can't believe the way he folded and gave up his dignity
He's a lying sack
These fuckers are so full of shit. Scum. magaTs
Not. Serious. People.
All they do is lie and they're at the point where they don't even try to make any sense at all, it's all gibberish.
America is under attack from without and from within! Always! Forever! We must develop a [click here to donate and help Donald Trump MAGA]
These people are almost as insanely stupid as the people who vote for them. The politicians at least get a job out of saying such nonsense. The people that vote for them get nothing.
Trump and his liars
Hey, Sorry to intrude. Please keep praying for Ukraine during this critical time. Your support means the world. Thank you. 💙💛💐#SlavaUkraini
The other danger that we don’t like to talk about is that Godzilla could attack us through these wind farms!!1!
accounting software company exec is going the keep us safe from Windmills….. So MAGA it hurts
"Thank you for your time...." ffs
Oh brother
I’m amazed he doesn’t want to have the “hugest” wind farms in the world then I remember, big oil bought and paid for him!
smells like bullshit doug. if it was an oilrig, you'd be all over it.
Gee, I wonder if he gets money from the fossil fuel industry?🤔
That doesn’t pass the smell test!
How she can be lied to face to face multiple times a day without screaming is a testament to how much she wants to go along to get interviews. That’s not journalism, that’s a disservice to everyone. Do better
She’s one of the better ones. She at least presses them. Most would have just accepted, “It’s a security issue.” Collins at least says, It wasn’t until now… Care to explain?
lies lies lies
What??? 🙄
The claim that malicious actors could use wind farms to launch a swarm drone attack and exploit radar interference is considered plausible, but an exaggeration of the threat.
Golly, wouldn't be smarter to send the undersea drone swarm through a part of the ocean where there aren't a whole bunch of cables anchoring the wind turbines to the sea floor?
Weirdos, the whole lot of them.
This guy watched Wicked & is thinking of flying monkeys. But seriously there is new drone technology that makes jamming the impossible. Plus drones can fly in under radar. Instead of addressing the real challenges this administration comes up with 1999 excuses.
Sez Big Oil Man.
I know college educated people who will repeat this bs as gospel.
Here is the real reason: wind power is now cheaper than natural gas. This threatens to upend the fossil fuel industry.
so if they’re so worried about drones infiltrating the wind farm why don’t they put sensors on the wind towers as well as the underwater platforms? Then it will become an early warning asset.
What the actual fuck?
What an idiot.
What? Right them with Jewish lasers to defend the cost. Problem solved.
We are definitely living in a very long and confusing episode of the Twilight Zone 😵💫🫨
That's fucking laughable
What???
🤪
And then monkeys will fly out of my butt!
I’m sorry, I don’t speak stupid.
What drugs is he on???
Je$u$
Burgundy has absolutely no idea what he is talking about and believes if he says enough words it will be good enough.
Should stay out of lanes you don't know what you're talking about since 1995 or before the Pentagon threat assessment terrorist assessment has said that global warming and the effects that it create is the greatest threat to us and World security, wind power helps fight terrorism you fucking moron
He is a moron more renewable energy helps hopefully decrease global warming therefore easing not exacerbating the behavior that create terrorist situations Pentagon has been saying that since 1995 and anything we can do to lower the effects of it is good for both physical and National security
PREACH. Climate change is a threat multiplier. Many military installations are at sea level. The increase in frequency and intensity of natural disasters - and their appearance in areas where we're unprepared - is killing people, destroying ecosystems & food production, and costs billions.
Wut
They're concerned that a chinese drone swarm will fly through the wind farm to drop copies of the Epstein Files on the Pacific Northwest is what I'm getting out of this.
Did he just say Rhode Island is in the Pacific Northwest - “the most populous part of the country”?!
Oh that’s just bullshit “ swarm attacks by drones” on wind farms??
And this guy used to be a governor and is the current secretary of the interior. He was also considered as the VP candidate. Man, he is fucking stupid. The people with bad ulterior motives to the US are currently running the damn show. It is just fucking insane!
He's not stupid. He's just a bad liar.
He's both
He's good enough at lying to fool the maga rubes.
Well, in their defense, it doesn't take much to fool them. Hell, most of us can see a blowhard conman coming from a mile away. It's mind boggling to me that they fall for the most obvious, outrageous lies ever. A lot of the lies don't even make any sense.
My brothers and I were raised by the same parents, yet one of my brothers is completely opposite of me politically. We weren't raised to praise or enable bullies. We were taught to stop bullying.
My brother is the same. I don't know how he turned out the way he did. He and his family live in Texass and I only get to see them about once a year. We get along ok as long as we don't discuss politics. He is a retired Army Sgt Major and isn't dumb. I will never understand it.
I was the underachiever of the family, growing up. They brought home dazzling report cards, I brought home the turkey. We all pulled one enlistment hitch, honorably discharged. We all had clearances. Only one of us drank the fool-aid. So many similarities, with that one glaring exception.
They say you can only be conned if you want something. ie You want that Rolex for cheap so you ignore that it likely isn't real or, at best, "fell off a truck". Trump provides them with cover for their racism, sexism, laziness, lust, greed, nastiness and they will overlook lots to get that.
It is sickening.
And they, and the rest of us against our will, are paying a heavy price for it! It's like, don't you even care about your own kids and grandkids? Being around brown people will not hurt them, not having health care or job prospects will!
They believe their children and grandchildren will be above all of that with the money they pass on to them. Rule of the oligarchs. Also a factor, they are shameless and think "why should I worry, I'll be gone".
You give him too much credit. Radar is not used under water. That would be sonar.
This is connected with the push to take over Greenland. Borgum is a Silly Con Valley trained greedy grabby opportunist who wants to profit by exploiting protected resources.
We are at the sci fi stage of WW3. Are they expecting an invading army or immigrants. Not sure anymore. Dept of War speaks volumes on their imperialist intentions.
Precisely!!!???
😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹
These fucking ppl. And CNN gives them a platform.
Because FauX wasn't enough 🙄
CNN is letting us know how bizarre these people are. Keep calling them out. The next press conference SHOULD be a follow up with more exposure to this stupidity.
Honestly, that was exactly the look on my face when I read what he said.
Republicans are afraid of their own toenail.
What?
He sounds soooooo convincing. He doesn’t even believe this 💩
What total bull shit
Memes > AI
Dude, if I wasn’t already following you that would’ve done it. You win the Internet today. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏👏👏👏
😂🤣😅
Obviously aliens 👽 are attracted to wind farms and they are trying to protect us.
Oh look, a wind tunnel! Sorry, that is just the space between this morons ears...my bad
Soooooo…if I’m hearing this right whenever there is a storm with high winds, we are completely blind and susceptible to major drone attacks from our enemies????
Americans can't be this stupid to really believe this crap
Oh, ffs, how do they not understand how stupid they are? And the interviewer looks just as idiotic. 🙄
When one see's stupidity like this, follow Newsom's law. Mock relentlessly.
Stupid people that have no self awareness at all, that's how. It really is breathtaking how stupid they are.
Wind farms don't disperse or interfere with radar or whales. Nice try, fascist scholars.
Ummm 🤔 that is a humdinger of a lie! I guess you can’t just say we are wasting billions of dollars and access to much needed renewable energy because windmills hurt all of my rich oil friends and they don’t like it.
Lame made up excuses for why they destroy green energy and infrastructure. Such a waste
And this guy was supposedly one of the saner republicans last time anyone was talking about republicans who are not named trump lol
These clowns in the Turd Reich are so far out of their depth it would be laughable if it weren’t so damned serious.
So....why are we using radar (that is famously almost completely useless underwater) instead of sonar (that is literally for use in water) to look for undersea threats? The sad thing is this regime is so incompetent I 100% believe they're trying to use radar.
…but not through oil rigs???
Of course not! Don’t be silly🙄
Or coal/natural gas plants?
Know what? Its 4am and my brain is up... After watching the Ukraine/Russia conflict. A decentralized wind/solar farm seems a lot more difficult to shutdown/degrade than a single gas/oil/nuclear site. One drone, shut down an coal plant. One drone take down a single windmill or a few panels.....
Yea... but only over here in Logicland. Over there in the upside-down world, the only facts that matter are the 🍊 man hates them.
This would take some common sense Even 4 am brain level of common sense☺️
those are not located at seat, dude...
Yeah, but if you are going to the lengths/risks of negatively affecting a Nato countries power grid? You are gonna swarm at sea wind farms? Come on....
I don't think they're equivalent. The sea at least provides some level of anonymity if you're trying to snip some cables or whatever that trying to attack an entire facility on shore does not.
Let’s not forget “their” favorite!!! COMMERCIAL FLIGHTS ✈️ 🏙️ Meanwhile…. What FAA? As cosplaying faux DEA stooges harass coffee sippers in our Nation’s City Under Military Siege…
Or pipelines.
You'd think an underwater pipeline would basically work as a quest marker for underwater drones. Highways that lead them right to the refineries. 🤷🏻♂️ Guess they aren't concerned about attacks on literal explosive materials.
Are you talking about the Deepwater Horizon Wind Farm Disaster of 2010? The largest wind spill in the history of the wind industry that killed 11 worker, injured 17 more, and spilled an estimated 4.9 million barrels of wind into the Gulf of America?
Yes I am!
Cesspool
Exactly! Beneath the number of oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico. For us mariners they left some narrow channels to make it to e.g. Houston/galveston passed these gas-burning platforms with their generators driving the drills through the ocean bed or pumping
That’s quite the picture!
If people simply would “google” … the depictions are right there …
Thank you. I guess Doug Burghum doesn’t have Google.
It looks like a plesiosaur.
There are days you gotta wonder if we are being led by a bunch of people who are the offspring Of a union of Newsmax and Fox conspiracy theorists After a QAnon summit Because it just shouldn’t be this ridiculous every single day
K, Douglas. That doesn’t sound made up at all.
Radar doesn’t work underwater. That’s why sonar exists.
What planet are you on what drones attacking America from where? While Canada and Mexico are really mad at your disgusting president not at all Americans! So who the hell is going to attack the US? We are just not coming to the USA your ally is Russia isn’t it?
That is complete and utter bullshit
If the US didn't treat the world like its personal playground, we wouldn't have to worry about these national security issues quite so much.
He makes better salad with his words than I do with lettuce.
This is in large part because the taco can see windmills from his golf course in Scotland. So unfair!
Scotland should install even more, bigger ones, decorated with images people who drive him crazy
Correct And the Scottish Government down right refused to have them moved out of his telescope line I mean he wasn’t asking much!!
GO SCOTLAND!!!!
This MFer scared of Black Manta n shit
Wait til he hears about offshore oil rigs.
Hmm food for thought for Ukrainian drone builders.
America is Russian owned.
They will pull anything right out of their asses and claim it to be true, just rolling off the tongue. Fuck this. Only their dumb fuck followers who lack critical thinking skills will buy this.
Say the fuck what?? "...launch a swarm drone attack through wind mills." Is Burgum drunk or high?
The person with “bad ulterior motives to the US” is your boss, dipshit.
Bullshit, and plain ass stupid
Do they actually hear themselves?
Plus, I get tons of money from big oil and they don't like windmills.👍🤬
They just make up random shit. Trump hates wind farms because Scotland put up windmills near his golf course. He is such a vindictive ignorant man.
Bull feathers.
Here's thought, maybe you should stop building buildings because they might fly a plane into one! Oh wait... that already happened. He's seriously suggesting that the Untied States would be incapable from defending itself against drone attacks?
This is obviously a BS justification that they came up with after Trump said no wind farms.
Burgum knows nothing about science and he qualifies his concerns based on his understanding of what he has heard. Using 8 cylinder words to impress your audience by digressing on non related topics makes him look good to his equally ignorant leader.
There he goes again destroying jobs and not giving fk about thousand going unemployed something he knows not about
WTF?
Radar undersea drone ? Radar ?
the sharks, the batteries, oh my 🤪
The level of stupidity at play here is STAGGERING!
What?
This will help you “understand!”
Undersea radar. Is Burgham on drugs?
Burgum
God help us, there’s not a single, normal person in this entire administration. I’m talking about those in the GOP for clarification.
Oh dear god
What kind of drones? Kites!? Forget attacking some place highly flammable. Hit the wind!
The lies are so fucking ridiculous, you’d think the cult members with brains, who went along to the rallies with friends, would eventually be irritated by the cognitive dissonance, increasingly aware of and pissed off by the constant insults to their intelligence.
Are they all retarded?
Yes
🤦🏻♂️
He's full of 💩
Even the old Soviet Union didn’t breed this many Olympic-level ass-kissers—SHITLER’s Turd Reich has turned groveling into its own national sport.
Uh huh.
And if the wind farm wasn't there we'd be safe? Say wha?!??
But what if people with bad ulterior motives to the US would FRACK dense rock formations, creating fissures through which oil or gas could flow and polute water reserves?
This has got to be the stupidest thing I have heard all day.
"This new science amazes me Sir Bedevere. Explain again how sheep's bladders can prevent earthquakes."
This is utter nonsense....
Of course it is, but they say it so the MAGA cult will have a response they can all agree to repeat endlessly anyway. The reason doesn't have to be good, it just has to sound smart to dumb people.
What a bunch of BS
Another dumb Trump b tch!
Wait. What?
Huh, odd they don’t have that same concern for oil platforms
Tangible proof that the mediocrity of privileged white men can never be underestimated. These entitled, self absorbed douches have managed to fail upwards their entire lives only to end up serving for the biggest fail-son in the history of mankind. Incompetent fascists, the whole lot.
Oh FFS!
You're worried about a swarm drone attack through wind farms, but what's to stop them from just using, I don't know, Bitcoin-mining rigs or AI-powered toaster factories instead?
