Trump Picks Pruitt to Lead EPA
(Not Fred though)
President-elect Donald J. Trump has selected Scott Pruitt, the Oklahoma attorney general and a close ally of the fossil fuel industry, to run the Environmental Protection Agency, a transition official said, signaling Mr. Trump’s determination to dismantle President Obama’s efforts to counter climate change.

#1  That sound you hear is a million hippy's heads exploding.

#2  Yay!!!

If we could harness all the energy from the liberal's heads spinning, we would have clean energy for the next million years.

#1  IMO, Mobsters run fake USA government from White House for 8 years.

#2  I can only assume you are referring to the most recent '8 years.'
Posted by: Besoeker || 12/07/2016 1:45 Comments || Top||

#3  The question is was it more efficient than the name brand?
Posted by: Shipman || 12/07/2016 12:36 Comments || Top||

#4  More thank likely it was Shipman. They had customers to please.

#1  How convenient.

#2  Yeah, but otoh: Michigan Court Of Appeals Orders State Board To Reject Jill Stein’s Recount
Posted by: Vast Right Wing Conspiracy || 12/07/2016 9:17 Comments || Top||

#3  Jill represents 1% of the voters. The Dims represent 1.6% of the population who are LGBT and 1.2% who are Mooslim.

Yet they know how to make 98.4% of the nation stand up and listen. Something wrong with this picture.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Iran-style diplomacy needed for 'Israel and Palestine,' Obama says
Israel's intelligence community believes that diplomacy has "rolled back Iran's nuclear program," US President Barack Obama argued one last time on Tuesday evening in his final major national security speech before leaving office.

Framing international talks over Iran's nuclear work as a model for approaching other challenges in the region, he suggested a similar effort may help to conclude the decades-old Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

#1  One suspects that Mr. Obama will end up assuming Mr. Carter's 'statesman in dotage' mission of incompetent interference in global affairs.

#2  Neh. Carter is a real believer, Barry is just a conman.

#3  I see a grassroots charity building par-3 courses all over the inner cities of our great land.

We will call it Habitat for Hackers
Posted by: Shipman || 12/07/2016 12:41 Comments || Top||

#4  In all seriousness, I can see a 'Habitat for Hackers' started by this guy. Just not the golfing kind of hacker.

#5  Oh for fuck's sake.

This idiot can't go away soon enough.

#6  Barry is just a conman expiring rented suit.
Posted by: Skidmark || 12/07/2016 13:19 Comments || Top||

#7  he suggested a similar effort may help to conclude the decades-old Israeli-Palestinian conflict

Let's give nukes to the Paleos.

#8  Iran-style diplomacy needed for 'Israel and Palestine,' Obama says

So he wants Israel to give Palestine their dream list of demands in exchange for threats and kidnapping their sailors? I'm not an expert but that doesn't seem the recipe for peace.

#9  More money and nukes?
