Well reasoned, well stated. Blessings on Markey’s head.

Meantime, please let the states continue to fight and let the lawsuits begin!

At the same time, in other news:

“declaration of war” against President Obama.

He wants to fuck him like he’s never been fucked before, collateral damage be damned.

“The best way for us to create jobs would be, as your last analyst just said, is to move on to this new era,” he continued. “We have hundreds of thousands of jobs in wind and solar. We only have 50-60,000 jobs left in the coal industry, and that revolution is just going to continue, not only in the United States, but globally. What they, in this executive order, are saying is that we’re going to be the laggard. We’re not going to compete. We’re going to cede to Germany, to China, the ability to develop these new clean energy technologies, which will then proliferate and create jobs all across the planet, just not here in the United States of America.”

This is the argument I’ve been dying to hear from Democrats. It hits the mark on jobs and positioning the US as a leader in energy independence. More please!

Any other sources for that info? WaPo just forces ads and “buy me” down your throat if you’re not a subscriber.

It’s just breaking at the Washington Post so I imagine it will be appearing more widely in the next half hour or so.

But here’s a link to the coverage on mic.com

215-205. So basically, our online privacy’s been betrayed by a bunch of spineless self-serving Dems again. Don’t bother getting upset about this one, folks. We lost.

ETA just to be clear: if he were throwing out the first pitch for my home team on opening day I would boo and hiss, but for him to turn it down?..another thing altogether.

He probably throws like a girl.

Well yeah, because the Koch Brothers hate that they were too stupid to invest in renewable energy so have decided to have a hissy fit instead of investing elsewhere because they can never be wrong.

Probably can’t get his tiny little hands around a baseball. Even if he could, there is no way in the world that old, fat assed, gas bucket could throw a ball 60ft.

What kills me is that this is a remarkable investment opportunity. Early money in alternatives will pay back in the future.

Agree. But it may all just be a bit too fraught as there’s this stuff too:

Just breaking?

I posted a link 2 days ago about this very thing and it had me spitting nails. I’ve shared that info with people on both sides and they were ALL pissed.

Nice. I hadn’t heard about that. Thanks.
