What a Week!

I'll be thrilled if we, the world, can get through today without the Creamsicle Criminal burning us all down.

The best part of this insane stretch was, possibly, when some ”rogue” Twitter  worker, on their last day, deleted Trump’s account. Wow! Awesome! THIS is how we can avoid nuclear Armageddon – by taking away the Toddler in Chief’s ability to Rage Swagger.

The company’s calling it “employee error.” No. No, it was employee heroism.

There was a fresh attempt to paint Clinton as the real enemy of all humanity. The REAL villian™.

She's not in office, not running for anything and the “right” is STILL fabricating bullshit stories and twisting reality. Obvs this is their latest attempt to distract us from their own insanely heartless and criminal shenanigans.

All I can manage is this:
 Jesus dudes, you’re embarrassing yourselves.
If she really was guilty of anything (beyond winning the popular vote by nearly 3,000,000 votes) I think we’d all know it by now. There’d be some actual real evidence versus the elaborate, wishful fever dreams of the Republican party.

One of the most ridiculous show ponies to come out of Texas – Rick Perry – has linked fossil fuel development to preventing sexual assault. No. Rilly!
Energy Secretary Rick Perry suggested Thursday that expanding the use of fossil fuels could help prevent sexual assault.
His reasoning isn’t especially creative. It is, in point of fucking fact, spectacularly transparent and laughable. The man is an astonishingly huge bootlicking, ass slavering, brainless toad (not to diss toads, mind you).

Why doesn’t he just run with the Republican answer for everything – it's Hillary's fault. What is? EVERYTHING!

Apparently she's more powerful than Lex Luthor, Doctor Doom, Darth Vader. Emperor Palpatine and the Borg all put together. You’d think that’d impress them.

And that spectacularly homely sack of loose-stooled, oleaginous walrus shit, Sam (I’m-not-a-scientist-or-an-economist-and-know-fuck-all-about-agriculture-but-I-was-a-right-wing-radio-talker-so-that-means-I’m-qualified) Clovis has withdrawn his nomination to be the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s chief scientist.

Why? He says “The political climate inside Washington has made it impossible for me to receive balanced and fair consideration for this position.”

HAH! Nice try you grifting pool of dimbulbed, treacherous Jabba drool! Try this: I danced a little too close with treason and wanna kinda lay low for a bit. Spotlight and shit – too bright. 

Can’t have us rubes noticing the men behind the curtain, ya know.

The Bloated Buttercup promised to bring back all those luxe coal mining jobs to Appalachia. He’s brayed loud and proud how he’d “end the war on coal.”
Late last month, Energy Secretary Rick Perry (HIM again!) quietly proposed a rule that would use taxpayer dollars to subsidize otherwise uncompetitive coal and nuclear power plants. Then on Oct. 10, EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt signed an order to rescind President Obama’s signature Clean Power Plan, which was designed to fight climate change by reducing carbon emissions from U.S. power plants.
Did this help? Has the War on Coal been won? Are coal miners employed underground once more? Ahhhhh…NOPE.

The Kentucky coal mining company, Armstrong Energy, just declared bankruptcy.
Meanwhile, Berkeley Energy Group, also in Kentucky, is planning to build a solar farm on a reclaimed mountaintop removal coal mine. The project would bring both jobs and energy to the area. They’re not yet throwing coal to the curb but it looks like they’re beginning to embrace evolution. 

A FINE bloody idea!

Sadly, there's a portion of Americans who refuse, absolutely refuse to train, retrain and evolve. Yeah, they’re Trump supporters. How’d ya guess?

It's been another action packed week. I'm gonna go cuddle with Coco – take a day off from the news.

  1. Speaking from experience retraining:

    1) Generally doesn't pay anything for the duration, doesn't pay the bills.

    2) The jobs on the otherside of it don't pay enough to make worth the trouble.

    Then there's the whole "you're gonna' treat me like some kind of foking monkey, to be retrained!?

      What's the alternative? Is there one besides steaming, raging against the world?
