    Why!? Who actually has anything against renewables besides fossil fuel companies?

    Also, he also doesn’t give a crap about the whales.

      Fossil fuel companies don’t like renewables for 2 main reasons:

      • They haven’t successfully lobbied for enough anti-competitive fees to be placed on them yet that makes it too cost-prohibitive to support
      • They haven’t successfully attained a monopoly over production by purchasing the leaders in the industry so that they still receive all the profits

    It’s actually really smart that he’ll do all these things “on day one”. Leaves the rest of the term free for golfing.

    During his first campaign, most people with common sense simply dismissed Trump. “Who in his right mind would vote for him?” they thought. Boy! were they in for a surprise.

    Now this is his second campaign. Trump is still the same Trump as the first time but on steroid this time. He tried to stage a coup, and he’s now sitting in a courtroom trying to defend his ass in a really shameful scandal.

    And most people with common sense, again, dismiss Trump. Because really, this time around, who in his right mind - including the most staunch ultra-conservative bible thumping republican - would vote this guy in again?

    Well, brace yourself because many, many people will inexplicably say “Watch me. Hold my beer…” on election day. It will truly boggle your mind that not only anyone voted for him at all, but in fact a sizeable portion of America has.

    I’m starting to think he’ll insist that his entire presidency is ‘day one’ so he can do all the stuff he wants and never get removed from office.

    Guessing the oil and gas industry took him up on the “fund me and I’ll do whatever” offer

      shave fucking pets

      One of the great things about ‘fuck’ is that it’s so incredibly versatile; but one of the major drawbacks of it is that it’s so incredibly versatile.

    Is he planning to do anything on day one that is actually good for the planet? For democracy?

    For anyone other than himself, the 1%, or the gun-toting religious white right?
