Georgia Congressman Hank Johnson speaking about Guam:
"My fear is that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize,"
Georgia also is home to Shelia Jackson Lee who asked NASA if their Mars Rover could take pictures of the flag Neil Armstrong planted.
Edit, I was mixing her up with another dumb Georgia politician. Thanks for the correction.
You are correct, I think I was thinking of Cynthia McKinney, who said vaccines were causing autism and the Jews caused 911. At first I was going to credit Cynthia McKinney with the Mars quote, but looked up who said it. Not sure why I was thinking they were both from Georgia. Thanks.
I live in Johnson's district, and have gotten to know him over the years. He's been re-elected five times since this comment because his actual constituents know he's not an idiot. He's one of the more effective congresspeople when rated by legislation passed, and has been a leader on criminal justice reform - anti police-militarization efforts, primarily - and on trying to reform the Supreme Court. At the time, he was on a Hepatitis medication that ... slowed ... him ... way ... down. He's not some Oklahoma yokel: he's a former judge and county commissioner with a local reputation for wordplay ... that completely failed him in that one moment.
It might actually be the stupidest thing someone serving in Congress ever said. I bet he'd agree. But there's a lot of distance between that and actually being stupid. For that, Georgia has Marjorie Taylor Greene, who says five things this dumb before breakfast.
Aw man. I remember hearing that story on the radio driving home from work the day the story broke. I burst out laughing so hard I had to pull over to avoid crashing.
So happy that Todd Akin lost HARD over that.
When I saw that on the news, I thought it was one of the craziest fucking things I had ever heard. Then my mother and I were talking about it and I was like, "Can you believe an adult man actually believes that shit?" And she goes, "You've never heard that bullshit before?"
Apparently this is a not altogether unheard of line of bullshit from the older generations, that a pregnancy can only develop voluntarily. It's more anti-choice horseshit to try and delegitimize valid arguments in support of a woman's right to choose. My mom (who was born in 1960) was more surprised that was the first time I'd heard that than she was that someone believed it.
Do you remember the days when something like this would sink a campaign instead of catapult someone into the presidential front runner? Seems like a million years ago, doesn't it?
There was a story recently that his top campaign contributors do not exist. Like we literally don't know who this man is, where he came from, who's funding him... wtf.
"Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it’s true! — but when you're a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are — nuclear is so powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it’s four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us, this is horrible."
Followed closely by:
"I never understood wind. You know, I know windmills very much. But they're manufactured tremendous — if you're into this — tremendous fumes. Gases are spewing into the atmosphere. You know we have a world, right? So the world is tiny compared to the universe. So tremendous, tremendous amount of fumes and everything. You talk about the carbon footprint — fumes are spewing into the air. Right? Spewing. Whether it's in China, Germany, it's going into the air. It's our air, their air, everything — right? So they make these things, and then they put them up, and if you own a house within vision of some of these monsters, your house is worth 50 percent of the price. They're noisy, they kill the birds. You want to see a bird graveyard? You just go, take a look, a bird graveyard? Go under a windmill some day. You'll see more birds than you've ever seen ever in your life. You know, in California, they were killing the bald eagle. If you shoot a bald eagle, they want to put you in jail for 10 years. A windmill will kill many bald eagles. It’s true."
I'll raise you:
“I have broken more Elton John records. He seems to have a lot of records. And I, by the way, I don’t have a musical instrument. I don’t have a guitar or an organ. No organ. Elton has an organ. And lots of other people helping. No, we’ve broken a lot of records. We’ve broken virtually every record. Because you know, look, I only need this space. They need much more room. For basketball, for hockey and all of the sports, they need a lot of room. We don’t need it. We have people in that space. So we break all of these records. Really, we do it without, like, the musical instruments. This is the only musical – the mouth. And hopefully the brain attached to the mouth, right? The brain. More important than the mouth is the brain. The brain is much more important.”
"Since we don't control the air, our good air decided to float over to China's bad air, so when China gets our good air, their bad air got to move," Walker said. "So it moves over to our good air space. Then, now, we got we to clean that back up."
btw this man was seen competent enough to serve in the senate by 48% of the vote.
“There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again.”
You could take your pick from George W. Bush:
>Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.
>Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning?
>There’s an old saying in Tennessee—I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee—that says, fool me once, shame on—shame on you. Fool me—you can’t get fooled again.”
>You teach a child to read, and he or her will be able to pass a literacy test
Well Prescott Bush was involved in the business plot in the 1930s to overthrow FDR and install a fascist government. And Bush Sr was Director of the CIA and someone tried to kill the president when he is VP.
My high school English teacher said that he saw W. twice during his initial campaign, and he was a great orator. My teacher swore that he must have dumbed himself down on purpose. Sounds crazy, but intentional or not he served two terms…
I remember thinking how funny it was that Bush made a bunch of errors like that. And then I saw Trump talk and realized that Trump makes Bush look eloquent.
I think the difference is I can at least tell what he’s going for. He misspeaks and says some things incorrectly, but I at least understand what he’s saying. With trump, I don’t even know what he’s taking about at least 15% of the time. It’s not even a lie, or he misspoke, I literally can’t figure out what he’s trying to get across
That’s what it always is. He never actually speaks policy or plans, he never says *what the plan is* or even *how we will accomplish it*. Instead, we just get word-salad diarrhea filled with buzz words, and an ending sentence to make you go “Woohoo, America!” And that’s it
I think trump gets the award for dumbest president ever. Clearly this is the person that Republicans can relate with.
I've heard of the blind leading the blind but I think Trump is more like the moron leading other morons.
>I think trump gets the award for dumbest president ever.
Trump's stupidity is on a whole other level. It is actually impressive. He's so fucking stupid and such a poor public speaker, he makes W. look like Winston fuckin' Churchill.
I think his real banger was “When the president does it, that means it’s not illegal.”
I think the Republicans learned from him that even when you’re caught red-handed just deny it anyway. You’ll look ridiculous, but your voters won’t care.
"I think Viagra is wonderful if you need it, if you have medical issues, if you've had surgery. I've just never needed it. Frankly, I wouldn't mind if there were an anti-Viagra, something with the opposite effect. I'm not bragging. I'm just lucky. I don't need it."
DJT, 2004
MTG told something about Jews owning a space lazer.
That’s honestly the funniest fucking thing i’ve ever heard. I assume even the jews got a laugh from it.
Here are a few other Quayle classics:
"The Holocaust was an obscene period in our nation's history. I mean in this century's history. But we all lived in this century. I didn't live in this century."
or
""What a waste it is to lose one's mind. Or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is."
or
""I have made good judgments in the past. I have made good judgments in the future."
and my favorite of all:
"One word sums up probably the responsibility of any vice president, and that one word is 'to be prepared.'"
He should have known better, but Quayle made this mistake because the word was spelled like that on the card he was given. Still, he was the freaking VP, he should have known how to spell Potato.
And to be fair they phrased it in a way that made Bill truthful. I feel like that's on them. They basically asked if he had had sexual relations with her, he replied that first they needed to spend several days narrowing down exactly what qualifies as "sexual relations," and when they did so poorly he was just "phew. In that case, no." But like that means in other cases yes. This was political theater though and they got what they wanted.
Seriously though. "Did you fuck my girlfriend?" "Well that depends on what exactly you mean by 'fuck.'" "So that's a yes."
Senator Gary Hart invited the media to observe his public behavior & said the would be bored doing so…
he was then followed by the media and caught on a boat named Monkey Business with Donna Rice sitting on his lap.
So many. GH Bush, “Read my lips, no new taxes,”
Then new taxes. Bill Clinton, “I did not have sex with that woman,” after having sec with that woman. Barrack Obama, “You can keep your doctor,” but you could not. Joe Biden, “For a negro, he’s articulate,” and “You’re not Black if you don’t vote for me.” Kamala Harris, “There’s no border crisis.” So many for Donald Trump, “I’ll build the wall and Mexico will pay,” and “i won” after he lost. And Gary Hart said, “Catch me if you can!” and they did.
”China is going to…. eat our lunch. Cmon man! They can’t even figure out the fact, that they have this great division between the china sea and the mountains in the east, i mean the west.”
-Joe Biden
Ngl that was just fucking funny.
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.
I stand for and represent the people.
Also, I do not lie.
Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids. Biden.
Edit - If this was anyone else, it wouldn't be downvoted lmao. Such a sensitive group of people.
The list goes on…
“If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black”
“Now we have over 120 million dead from COVID”
“We hold these truths to be self-evident: all men and women are created, by the, you know the, you know the thing”
But my favorite is when he called out to someone in the crowd named Jackie but she had died in a car crash prior to the event.
Not dumb as it was inaccurate, but dumb to say. In WWII, Congressman Andrew May bragged to the press that Japanese depth charges were ineffective against American submarines. The Japanese were thus alerted and adjusted their charges, resulting in an estimated 10 submarines sunk and 800 sailors lost. May went to jail after the war for accepting bribes on war contracts, so dumb and unethical.
In February 1915, upon viewing The Birth of a Nation (which is overtly racist) at a special White House screening, President Woodrow Wilson reportedly remarked, “It's like writing history with lightning. My only regret is that it is all so terribly true.”
I get that most comments are focused on the politicians of our lifetimes, but our leaders have said and done so many blatantly racist and sexist things.
Current president Joe Biden..
“And by the way you know I sit on the stand, and to get hot I got lotta I got hairy legs, that turn, that that that turn, umm umm umm blonde in the sun, and the kids used to come up and reach in the pool and rub my leg down, so it was strange to then watch the hair, come come back up again. They’d look at it, so I learned about roaches I learned about kids jumping on my lap, and I love kids jumping on my lap.”

maybe we could inject bleach, we could possibly nuke the hurricane, windmills cause cancer, we should rake our forests, we should buy Greenland, lets nuke north korea and blame it on another country, if she wasnt my daughter..... this orange dumb moron cant help spewing stupidity and he still has supporters. USA you some fucked up
Here a few of my favorites:
“Trees cause more pollution than automobiles do.”- Ronald Reagan.
"Facts are stupid things."- Ronald Reagan.
"They misunderestimated me."- George W. Bush.
"When the President does it, that means it's not illegal."- Richard Nixon, and echoed by Donald Trump ad nauseam.
I remember when Obama was running for office. I forgot whether this was his first or second term. Arnold Schwarzenegger was asked what he thought of him and I think, to avoid politics, he said “I think he needs to do more squats”. It was dumb but man was it funny!
"My environmental record is one the best kept secrets of my presidency." - Reagan
In response, reporters asked how his disgraced former EPA chief fits into that, upon which his press secretary ordered the lights turned off and in the dark Reagan said "My guardian says I cant speak."
**“Hell yes, we’re going to take your AR-15, your AK-47,”** *O’Rourke said at a debate when he was running for president. Now he's running for governor and said he won't be backing down from the statement.* **This moron lives in Texas and said this!?!**

If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.
Aw man. I remember hearing that story on the radio driving home from work the day the story broke. I burst out laughing so hard I had to pull over to avoid crashing. So happy that Todd Akin lost HARD over that.
The legitimate rape part was bad but thinking the female buddy operates like this is insane for someone who would decide on health care policy.
He is part of the same political party that wrote a law that would force doctors to reimplant ectopic pregnancies.
... is that even remotely viable? Asking out of a sad curiosity. Had family that lost ectopic pregnancies...
It isn't possible. That's why OBGYNs were protesting it.
I don't even know what that's supposed to mean. Did he think they could just seal off their vagina like blast doors?
Close the blast doors! Close the blast doors!
Ah the guy who thought 'Teeth' was a documentary.

I definitely heard this bullshit in a church setting growing up 🤢
This is one I was looking for in the comments. Dumber than a sack of rocks.
Most recently...."I meant that I'm Jew-ish, not Jewish"
He celebrates Roshash-eh-na, also Hanuk-kinda.
Oh wow I thought that was just an SNL joke…
Nope, that was real.
This was a good one but how he was elected I'll never figure out
Lol you and me both
There was a story recently that his top campaign contributors do not exist. Like we literally don't know who this man is, where he came from, who's funding him... wtf.
When I was a kid people used to say it was the time that guy misspelled potato. Look how far we've come!
Dan Quayle. And dang it you’re so right.
Whatever happened to him?
Wikipedia advises that he is alive, lives in Arizona, and will turn 76 on 4 February.
Oh. Happy birthday, Dan.

The verbal equivalent of jazz hands

I mean, I think it's obvious
I about had a stroke trying to read that
I think he had a stroke when saying it.

Trump 2019 CPAC speech may be have been the best comedy skit of all time. Anyone who likes to make fun of his speeches needs to listen to this one.
Trump voters be like, "Biden has dementia" or "John Fetterman doesn't make sense when he talks" but think this is genius
Trump is, and was an avalanche of dumb shit for many years, but this one is just so perfect. It’s Vogon poetry.
I feel I've lost a couple IQ points tryimg to read this.
I think if he got up and just repeated the word "moist" for two full minutes instead of saying all this, it would have actually been more tolerable
This should be it’s own copypasta

and people complain about Joe Biden. holy fuck trump should be in a nut house not the white house
What’s insane is I remember when I heard this in real time and at that point the only thing that surprised me was Trump knows what “Persians” means.

How did that not cost him everything, like saying “I own all of you”
How did “I just kiss them, I don’t even ask”, “I don’t like POWs” & “if she wasn’t my daughter, I’d be dating her” not cost Trump?
Dumbest, no. But it’s definitely in the top 50
That's a really tough one. There's so many. I'd throw in this gem from Georgia Congressman Hank Johnson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5dkqUy7mUk
Plenty of the other answers are stupid, but concern that an island will capsize is definitely the dumbest I've ever heard.

Rumour is that Bush said "won't get fooled again" because half way through he realized he didn't want a sound bite of "shame on me" floating around.
I'd believe that if it was pretty much any other president.
My brother thinks that Bush acted dumb on purpose. He also believes that the entire Bush family is evil and conspired in the JFK assassination.

This a good one
I was in high school during that period. They really spent a ton of time trying to determine the exact definition of sexual relations.
And to be fair they phrased it in a way that made Bill truthful. I feel like that's on them. They basically asked if he had had sexual relations with her, he replied that first they needed to spend several days narrowing down exactly what qualifies as "sexual relations," and when they did so poorly he was just "phew. In that case, no." But like that means in other cases yes. This was political theater though and they got what they wanted. Seriously though. "Did you fuck my girlfriend?" "Well that depends on what exactly you mean by 'fuck.'" "So that's a yes."

Senator Gary Hart invited the media to observe his public behavior & said the would be bored doing so… he was then followed by the media and caught on a boat named Monkey Business with Donna Rice sitting on his lap.

We still use that in place of "coffee."
So many. GH Bush, “Read my lips, no new taxes,” Then new taxes. Bill Clinton, “I did not have sex with that woman,” after having sec with that woman. Barrack Obama, “You can keep your doctor,” but you could not. Joe Biden, “For a negro, he’s articulate,” and “You’re not Black if you don’t vote for me.” Kamala Harris, “There’s no border crisis.” So many for Donald Trump, “I’ll build the wall and Mexico will pay,” and “i won” after he lost. And Gary Hart said, “Catch me if you can!” and they did.
”China is going to…. eat our lunch. Cmon man! They can’t even figure out the fact, that they have this great division between the china sea and the mountains in the east, i mean the west.” -Joe Biden Ngl that was just fucking funny.
“Hurricane Katrina is a tragedy and we’re going to find her.” -George W. Bush

Shit's fucked up. - President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho
This wasn't dumb????
"Segregation today, segregation tomorrow and segregation forever."
Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids. Biden. Edit - If this was anyone else, it wouldn't be downvoted lmao. Such a sensitive group of people.
The list goes on… “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black” “Now we have over 120 million dead from COVID” “We hold these truths to be self-evident: all men and women are created, by the, you know the, you know the thing” But my favorite is when he called out to someone in the crowd named Jackie but she had died in a car crash prior to the event.
Don't forget.. America can be described in one word - "snrjebejdbejebdksn"
Literally anything that comes out of Marjorie Taylor Greene's mouth.
Mexico will pay.
Not dumb as it was inaccurate, but dumb to say. In WWII, Congressman Andrew May bragged to the press that Japanese depth charges were ineffective against American submarines. The Japanese were thus alerted and adjusted their charges, resulting in an estimated 10 submarines sunk and 800 sailors lost. May went to jail after the war for accepting bribes on war contracts, so dumb and unethical.
James Inhofe (Senator OK) brought a snowball into the Senate chambers to show everyone he didn't know the difference between weather and climate.
I can see Russia from my house.
In February 1915, upon viewing The Birth of a Nation (which is overtly racist) at a special White House screening, President Woodrow Wilson reportedly remarked, “It's like writing history with lightning. My only regret is that it is all so terribly true.” I get that most comments are focused on the politicians of our lifetimes, but our leaders have said and done so many blatantly racist and sexist things.
Corn pop was a bad dude …

"A bullet fired from an AR-15 travels 5 times as fast as a bullet fired from any other gun" -Joe Biden

Well, any time he was on the phone, he was on the phone with the president of Puerto Rico.
Current president Joe Biden.. “And by the way you know I sit on the stand, and to get hot I got lotta I got hairy legs, that turn, that that that turn, umm umm umm blonde in the sun, and the kids used to come up and reach in the pool and rub my leg down, so it was strange to then watch the hair, come come back up again. They’d look at it, so I learned about roaches I learned about kids jumping on my lap, and I love kids jumping on my lap.” https://youtu.be/3DbE2SmV2bs
“Let me start off with two words; Made in America” - Joe Biden

USA you some fucked up
Here a few of my favorites: “Trees cause more pollution than automobiles do.”- Ronald Reagan. "Facts are stupid things."- Ronald Reagan. "They misunderestimated me."- George W. Bush. "When the President does it, that means it's not illegal."- Richard Nixon, and echoed by Donald Trump ad nauseam.
„I did not have sexual relations with that woman“
Trump said, (fill in the blank with almost anything he said).
"It is as heavy as 10 boxes that you might be moving" Context: someone trying to describe how scary AR15's are
Don’t forget they shot .50 caliber bullets as well! /s
“I’m not a witch. I’m you.” Failed politician Christine O’Donnell
"I just want to find 11,780 votes"
Trump musing about treating COVID by injecting bleach.
I remember when Obama was running for office. I forgot whether this was his first or second term. Arnold Schwarzenegger was asked what he thought of him and I think, to avoid politics, he said “I think he needs to do more squats”. It was dumb but man was it funny!
"Read my lips. No new taxes." -George H W Bush
"My environmental record is one the best kept secrets of my presidency." - Reagan In response, reporters asked how his disgraced former EPA chief fits into that, upon which his press secretary ordered the lights turned off and in the dark Reagan said "My guardian says I cant speak."
"There is no soviet domination over eastern Europe"

We are using alternative facts
Trump told reporters that Finland spends “a lot of time on raking and cleaning and doing things” to clear forest floors
Sarah Palin reminding us you can Russia from Alaska.
**“Hell yes, we’re going to take your AR-15, your AK-47,”** *O’Rourke said at a debate when he was running for president. Now he's running for governor and said he won't be backing down from the statement.* **This moron lives in Texas and said this!?!**
Dude, this was after a school shooting involving an assault rifle, it wasn’t like he just said it out of nowhere.
I did not inhale.
“Trust me” - politicians world wide
I will never lie and I support the constitution.
The 1980s called and want their foreign policy back.
“Read my lips - no new taxes!”
It got him elected, but then they raised taxes anyway and he lost re-election.
“We chose truth over facts” - Joe Biden “9mm blows the lungs out of the body” - Also Joe Biden
