All Things Trump: The Return Of The King

Meanwhile, yet another award created specifically to stroke the demented ego of the president. This one is for making sure the US coal industry is free to continue in its favored position while depositing poison onto the planet.

Climate change-denying President Donald Trump received a pro-coal group’s recently created award on Wednesday as his administration prepares to further weaken regulations on greenhouse gases.

Trump, 79, held an event Wednesday at the White House with Environmental Protection Agency administrator Lee Zeldin, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum and Energy Secretary Chris Wright, during which he announced an executive order directing the Defense Department to buy electricity from coal-fired power plants.

Trump also awarded $175 million in federal funding to improve six coal plants in West Virginia, Ohio, North Carolina and Kentucky, according to an Energy Department press release.

The Washington Coal Club, through National Coal Council President James Grech, then presented Trump with the “Undisputed Champion of Beautiful Clean Coal” award. Like the “FIFA Peace Prize,” Trump was its first recipient.

...

Trump, who has called climate change a “con job,” is taking more fossil fuel-friendly actions this week. The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday that the administration is planning to repeal what’s known as the 2009 “endangerment finding,” which determined that six greenhouse gases threaten public health. That finding allowed the EPA to enact emissions caps on power plants and fuel economy standards for vehicles.

“This amounts to the largest act of deregulation in the history of the United States,” Zeldin proudly told the paper.

That comes after the administration has given several wins to business interests at the expense of the environment.

Last July, Zeldin’s EPA announced it was closing its office of research and development, which measures the harmful effects of toxic chemicals and water pollution.

As of last September, the administration had declared more than 160 pollution-producing facilities exempt from certain Clean Air Act standards, according to the Environmental Defense Fund.

And the Trump administration last year considered allowing the use of cancer-causing asbestos.

More recently, The New York Times reported that Zeldin’s agency would be ending the long-running practice of assigning a value to human life when examining how regulations affect certain air pollutants. Yet, the agency would still document the business costs of complying with those regulations.

Shit. (apply that as you see fit)

One of Trump's go-to adjectives, 'horrible' is certainly applicable to his administration's effect on the environment along with the rest of the exuberantly vicious skullduggery

It's one of the greatest tragedies of our time that we've somehow allowed the monied and corporate classes to associate responsible stewardship of the natural environment with all that is wrong, misguided, unrealistic, unnecessary, intentionally corrupt, depraved, and dangerous - and for that association to represent in the public mind an impermeable cultural barrier that cannot, and should not ever be surmounted.

The President believes in the Constitution, however...

if the frump in chief believed in the constitution, last year would simply never have happened. I'm not sure if leavitt is as much of a liar as the rest of the clique of if she's just so brainless she says what she's told to and doesn't think because she simply can't

[aufbahrung]

[Svartalf]

only one? to start with, it's virtually public knowledge that frump is a putin flunky

[Brian Peacock]

He's on the fat jabs isn't he?

[pErvinalia]

He's on the lookout for Russians and windows..

[Brian Peacock]

I meant Trump.

As for US Representatives believing they're at risk of Russian intelligence suiciding them. Well, pfff. It's gameshow posturing.

SAN FRANCISCO—Heralding what it called a “bold new age” in warping the mind of the nation’s elderly leader, OpenAI introduced a new premium video generator Thursday marketed toward White House advisors manipulating President Donald Trump. “Our new Stephen video generator is an easy, user-friendly text-to-video model that can create clips up to two minutes long and will easily trick the commander-in-chief into believing Mexico has deployed nuclear weapons on the U.S. border,” said OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, who revealed that the cutting-edge software had been trained on footage of protests, riots, immigrant arrests, and media interviews with Democratic politicians. “Stephen can create complex, detailed scenes of tattooed Guatemalan gang members robbing a child’s lemonade stand that can easily fool President Trump.

At press time, Vice President JD Vance had reportedly been arrested after a dozen different White House employees generated videos of him protesting ICE and burning an American flag.

RT @realDonaldTrumpThe Democrats refuse to vote for Voter I.D., or Citizenship. The reason is very simple — They want to continue to cheat in Elections. This was not what our Founders desired. I have searched the depths of Legal Arguments not yet articulated or vetted on this subject, and will be presenting an irrefutable one in the very near future.

I also have searched the Founding Fathers for voter ID. Not a single one of them had a photo ID! I will agree to a personal seal and signature. The government must provide the wax and I will put the seal next to my signature.

On that topic, could the government produce 340 million rings for us citizens to use, for lifetime? They all have to be unique, for all our seals.
