Holy shit. Unplug from reality for a second and appreciate the pure, unfiltered, fluoride-free comedy of this video.

I need to take a break from reading Russian propaganda so indulge me for a second as I break this truly unhinged video down.

First off: Paul Gosar has numerous ties to far-right and white supremacist groups. theguardian.com/world/2022/jan…

He was censured by the House for sharing memes suggesting his rivals should be killed. cnn.com/2021/11/17/pol…

Can't stress enough: washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/…

First off: Yes, it's *another* Mineral Monday (I wish it was Sunday, that's my gem day.) Gosar legitimately hosts a weekly show where he talks minerals. One such mineral was....airplanes.

"Without mining, you can't build planes," he says.

Onto fluoride: he's coming to you live from a drain

I mean, obviously, wonderful.

This is directly from the "Fluoride Action Network."

The word "elevated" is important, because some of these "74 studies" found cognitive impairment *could* happen when levels hit 2ppm, whereas the U.S. regs recommend 0.7ppm. (Fluoride occurs naturally, remember.)

And a snake

Also, of course, if your criteria is "studies that connect fluoride to IQ" — you might get a weird cohort of studies.

I also think this bonkers graph conflates the acceptable fluoride water levels and the fluoride levels in women (Tends to be well below 1.) Anyway.

Deeply, deeply funny.

Anyway, well-regulated fluoride levels in our drinking water is good and Paul Gosar is insane.

Vodka, that's what they drink, isn't it?

It's breathtaking, really.
