Rather than constantly talking about damage to “the planet” or “the environment,” reporters, politicians, and environmental activists need to discuss how this pillage is directly impacting the present as well as future prospects for the human race.
The planet can go on without us–the reverse is not true.
That little precept that no one is above the law in America?
It’s a downright embarrassment on the international stage!
Talking to The New York Times, Trump spouts his usual bombastic, vainglorious contra-constitutional exhaust.
Calls Allen Dershowitz a “liberal Democrat”? I’m holding my sides.
Trump simply has no interest or belief in American democracy.
The shameless old ham actually hauled out that vaudeville trope the right wing reaches for every time we get cold weather.
Cold weather = climate change a hoax.
NOT, you superannuated cult of con artists.
He must be a double Dutch doozie.
That’s what Rep. Rooney is now saying.
As Karli Kuns notes at CrooksandLiars: “This is what fascists do. They call for purges based upon ideologies, assume people cannot do their jobs objectively, and are so afraid of what the facts might be that they lash out ahead of the conclusion.”
the GOP has been making the inane argument every time there’s a cold patch that somehow climate change or global warming has been disproved, as if the reality-based community was claiming that winter was instantly going to come to an end.
Except that of course it hasn’t been making that claim, and except that climate change will bring and is bringing extremes of cold as well as hot.
Scientists–you know, that species that is fleeing Pruitt’s EPA in droves–can explain better than I.
Tune in to Katherine Hayhoe on twitter.
have no doubt that Trump was planning to fire Mueller or Rosenstein over the holidays, and only the gauntlet laid down by Sen. Warner and other Democrats, the attention focused by the media as well as the grass roots, prevented that from happening.
If you wanted to know the most perfectly Orwellian incarnation of the Trump administration’s attack on truth, logic, and reality, its white-is-black inversions, try Scott Pruitt’s redefinition of environmentalism as the determination to plunder America’s natural resources.
Interviewed by James Hohhman of the Washington Post, the monstrously derelict Pruitt gives the game away with his framed office portrait of Anne Gorsuch, the most parodistic EPA head prior to Pruitt.
After that small masterpiece of perversely distorted rhetoric, he ups the ante by lying that he’s incinerating our natural resources to feed the world’s poor! Not to make Exxon’s profit ledgers greater than ever.
Read Julia Conley’s report at Common Dreams. Study the way that hand-picked-by-the-Koch Brothers EPA head Pruitt and Sen. Inhofe, Another Old Rich White GOP Senate member, are completely ignorant about, or simply intent on suppressing the economic reality of how job-producing is renewable energy.
Why have the Dems not gone after Pruitt more aggressively? Why aren’t they mounting visual-aid presentations on the way the planet is melting and burning, and excoriated Pruitt’s advocacy of planetary crash-and-burn?
Parents Across America: Do you understand what these people are doing to your kids’ futures?
The FBI foils a terrorist plot in San Francisco, while Trump and the GOP look the other way because they are too busy tarring the organization to shield Trump from the rule of law.
We are in the midst of an attempted putsch by a president and a party that have put partisan interests above patriotism.
You thought you’d heard everything.
Mitch McConnell, the man who stole a Supreme Court seat, who demonstrates a complete lack of respect for constitutional norms and minority party rights, is now puling about bipartisanship.
David Atkins at Washington Monthly urges Dems to reject “the coming bipartisanship trap.”
