Louie confuses me - should his posts be in the Lounge or GD

Louie Gohmert on solar farms toasting birds (Video at link)


"Another part of that Green Deal is that huge solar farm that they have out on the border of California and Nevada, thousands of acres of concave mirrors that magnify the sun towards three towers, heat up the liquid in there, and turn turbans (I might be making fun of his accent, here. He may have meant 'turbines,' but it really sounded like 'turbans' to me, and with Gohmert, who can really be sure?) they weren't anticipating that there would be hundreds and thousands of what they would call (*air quotes*) flamers, because when the birds fly through, if they survive the windmills, then they hit that magnified sun, explode in flame, and down they go, bird guts all over the mirrors, so that takes some cleaning up. This is the green stuff that's just out of control, and it's gonna bring the nation down."
