Another "WHY?"

Quote :

"If it's been a few years since you shopped for a lightbulb, you might find yourself confused. Those controversial curly-cue ones that were cutting edge not that long ago? Gone. (Or harder to find.) Thanks to a 2007 law signed by President George W. Bush, shelves these days are largely stocked with LED bulbs that look more like the traditional pear-shaped incandescent version but use just one-fifth the energy. A second wave of lightbulb changes was set to happen. But now the Trump administration wants to undo an Obama-era regulation designed to make a wide array of specialty lightbulbs more energy efficient. At issue here are bulbs such as decorative globes used in bathrooms, reflectors in recessed lighting, candle-shaped lights and three-way lightbulbs. The Natural Resources Defense Council says that, collectively, these account for about 2.7 billion light sockets, nearly half the conventional sockets in use in the U.S.... ... ... "

If Obama helped a little old lady cross the street Trump would track her down, whisk her back to that same same street corner, and march her ass back to where she was before Obama helped her.

Never thought of Q Anon as a coping mechanism before... makes sense though. People can’t accet trump’s horrendous actions on the surface so they have to believe there’s some deeper, grander motivation for what seems nakedly corrupt and incompetent.

So Bezos is saying Saudi Arabia hacked his phone

And it seems like they did so at the behest is AMI’s david pecker (the national enquirer guy)

Who did this because he felt it’s what trump wanted him to do.

This would obviously be a major scandal if it was normal times. Yes, the President has pretty wide latitude to grant clearances to whomever he wishes but it’s very unethical and completely unsafe.

Given that the defining issue of the entire 2016 election was handling of potentially classified correspondence im sure this major breach will..... never be talked about after today.

Trump has been bashing wind power hard the past few rallies, saying you can’t watch tv if the wind isn’t blowing, saying it’s too loud and that it causes cancer.

Meanwhile he still pushes coal and fossil fuel. This is one of the dumbest things he says.

Feels like we’re heading into the darkest chapters yet of the trump presidency

Trump told border agents to blatantly ignore the law, their direct managers had to tell them to follow the law still. Now miller is in charge, other Nielsen loyalists are expected to leave, and its likely CBP has already violated the court order related to family separation on top of committing even new possibly illegal atrocities with the detention policies.

And congress is already logjammed with oversight issues.

Then there’s rubio pushing for war in Venezuela, Bolton pushing for war in Iran, inverted yield curve predicting an upcoming recession, black unemployment rate reversing for the first time in a decade (which history predicts increased unemployment for everyone else coming too).
