Seriously WTF is wrong with these people?

Calling them short-sighted souless evil motherfuckers doesn't quite capture how short-sighted these souless evil motherfuckers are.

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/29/climate/epa-methane-greenhouse-gas.html?action=click&module=Top%20Stories&pgtype=Homepage

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration laid out on Thursday a far-reaching plan to cut back on the regulation of methane emissions, a major contributor to climate change.

The Environmental Protection Agency, in its proposed rule, aims to eliminate federal requirements that oil and gas companies install technology to detect and fix methane leaks from wells, pipelines and storage facilities. It will also reopen the question of whether the E.P.A. even has the legal authority to regulate methane as a pollutant.

The sock puppet in chief.  But tries to disguise it as a principled stand against foreign involvements and messy geopoliticking, no doubt.  Phony isolationism.  I wonder if Vlad realized what an astonishingly useful fool he was getting for his money.

I actually see Putin watching the news from his office holding his palms down in a slow motion, saying "Donald, take it down a notch.  You are giving away the game."

"What does it mean to have the story of Eugene Williams, 17 year-old black boy, which then becomes the story of Emmett Till, which ten becomes the story of Laquan McDonald?" she asks. "What does it mean for us to be constantly living this recurring nightmare?"

Nah - reaaly... its not.

It's the usual hit piece, with general talk of who disagrees - not why - not what the potential pluses and minuses of respective action/inaction


Yeah!

It's not like Putin's invaded part of Ukraine already! Why would anybody expect more of the same?!

Trump's been a busy boy.

In this story, his administration wants to put a pipeline across the Appalachian Trail.

https://www.politico.com/agenda/story/2019/08/29/appalachian-trail-dominion-energy-000943?fbclid=IwAR1ATwCJrWWAQKnDmo4Uvh3KuqeiRZazx_3DcL-KLEs2JUva2L3TVLROT4A

Meanwhile,  it also wants to lift restrictions on the Alaskan temperate rain forest.

https://www.newsweek.com/trump-logging-restrictions-alaska-tongass-largest-national-forest-1456553

And they're making an effort to unload as much federal land into oil company hands as they can before the election.

https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2019-08-27/trump-arctic-grand-escalante-oil-drilling



That's just the environmental bullshit they are trying to pull.

We already saw the efforts to deport kids while they are sick, eliminating the delays.

And to block citizenship at birth for children born to some overseas members of the military and some government employees.
https://www.propublica.org/article/trump-administration-rushed-on-a-sweeping-immigration-policy-we-found-substantive-sloppy-mistakes

But here's another of the wonderful things our country is planning to do:
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/jul/09/labor-secretary-alexander-acosta-sex-trafficking-budget-cut

Plus, of course, he still wants to eliminate birthright citizenship, without going through the petty process of (re)amending the Constituion. “We’re looking at all legal options," said Miller.

Banning
« Reply #19692 on: August 29, 2019, 08:25:22 PM »

I have attempted to impose a ban on the poster known as HamiltonIII.

As we all know, sometimes people can work around the bans because I cannot broadly ban many a given IP address without impacting others among you. I have attempted to address that, as well, but we will see whether that effort is successful.

If you see a new post from somebody that you are pretty sure is him, flag it and I will take a look as soon as I can.

Regretfully,

Josh
