“Clean Coal”
Should have called it Big Blue Coal. Because BBC is something Trump deserves.
another participation prize for the draft dodging shitbag
Watched Inglorious Basterds for the first time the other night
When is he starting to wear those nice, shiny medals like the North Korean generals are wearing?
Nobody managed to fill up both pants legs? Pathetic!
6 of those are for basket weaving
The pants ones are probably from DLC, that’s why most don’t have them.
Can’t wait for the Food That Is Not Rice update
Oh he’s going to manage to fill up both pant legs…
…and the Goose Step to march like the f’n Russians and Nazis.
What a pathetic fucking circlejerk.
Fascism is a parody of itself.
I’m just here so I don’t get fired energy
Meanwhile China is positioning itself as a leader in the energy sectors of the future.
It’s depressing to watch these displays, but even more depressing in the knowledge that our nation’s power is (as usual) being squandered to make a demented old man feel like a big boy and for keeping a handful of billionaires marginally richer with money they’ll never actually live to spend anyway.
Unfortunately one of the advantages of dictatures is that it move fast in one direction. The main problem being if the leader is intelligent enough to chose the right direction, which they rarely do.
On the other hand, democracies moves slowly, but the damages done by bad leaders are often counterbalanced by the good made by better leaders.
Donald “Mercury Poisoning” Trump.
Most the mercury in fish comes from fossil fuel burning and mining. Coal is both.
Clean coal makes as much sense as healthy disease
The gas lobbyist will turn it up a notch to destroy their energy competitor, coal. Did Krasnov do anything for the black lung victims? I thought not.
This guy has one hell of a trophy obsession.
They’re all participation trophies, as he can’t win anything of real value.
FIFA peace price of “at least you tried”. Renewable energy price of “didn’t understand the task, but cried when he didn’t get a medal”.
He’s such a weird snowflake
He’s the one kid at your birthday party who’s upset they’re not getting attention too.
And then starts to destroy your stuff because he never learned to cope with frustration.
Apparently the participation trophies are fine when they’re the ones getting them.
This was such a comical read! It’s like reading a joke made into a serious article:
President Donald Trump has added another shiny award to his cabinet of trophies that have just been invented
"I’m thrilled to welcome to the White House the men and women who light our cities, and you know, you do things that people don’t even understand, so much, you do so much. You heat our homes, fuel our factories and turn natural resources into American riches and dreams. Our amazing coal miners.”
“I ended the war on coal,”
It is not the first time Trump has been the “inaugural recipient” of an award presented by those looking to curry his favor.
a bronze statue of a coal miner on the top and was engraved with “Undisputed Champion of Beautiful Clean Coal.”
Infantino also handed Trump “a beautiful medal for you that you can wear everywhere you want to go,”
Its just so fucking stupid on its face. How anyone thought calling it “clean coal” was anything besides dumb as fuck is beyond me.
Then you should visit Colstrip, Montana or similar coal towns. The propaganda works very well when it’s taught from before birth and everyone goes along even if they don’t agree!
See, I understand that. What I dont understand is why every other non-coal town trump supporter didn’t immediately understand that this was a stupid as fuck grift immediately after hearing it.
You simply can’t criticize your own team.
And that attitude has metastacized into something even worse in the last decade or so.
Cognitive dissonance and cultism.
Its just really frustrating at how easy it is. Like really fucking disheartening.
3-4 decades of crippling public education can do that
Yeah but I live in Alberta, and I don’t feel like a lot of the things I see have much to do with what I learned in public education. Maybe I’m wrong.
Danielle Smith already sorted this for you though, Albertans don’t need public education anymore. All she had to do was label CO2 a "foundational nutrient for all life on Earth” and bam! No longer a pollutant. Easy-peasy.
The propaganda works well when it the smog goes into the air and comes down as a natural occurrence beyond our control, especially when it disproportionately affects those eastward in the Jetstream. You know, the north/mid Atlantic coastal elites (just don’t mention Appalachian Pennsylvania)
Can you explain for everybody who doesn’t want to fly into the USA to visit a coal town in Montana what one will see there?
No, I think you should visit.
You’re fooling no one, American coal board tourism tsar, or whatever the crazy fuck.
Sure. Give me till after work and I’ll write up my memory and some experiences.
