Dear Trump Supporters:
Many have posted things such as 'Give him a chance."
Do you see where this is going? Do you 'get it'?
The Purge of Government Employees Who Believe in Climate Change Has Begun
Donald Trump’s transition team has asked the Energy Department for a list of names of all agency employees and contractors who worked on the Obama administration’s climate change policy. A 74-point questionnaire, first reported on by Bloomberg and obtained by Politico, is being circulated by the DOE.
The department, which has reportedly turned the questionnaire over to its lawyers, employs approximately 13,000 people directly, as well as tens of thousands of contractors. From Politico:
The questionnaire asks for a list of DOE workers who attended any United Nations climate change conferences in the last five years. It also requests the list of those who attended any of the interagency working groups that have crafted a “social cost of carbon,” which several Obama administration agencies have used to help justify some regulations.Besides specific names, the Trump team also asked: “Which programs within DOE are essential to meeting the goals of President Obama’s Climate Action Plan?” It also asks for the agency to identify which office “owns” the work on international “Clean Energy Ministerials” and “Mission Innovation,” a multinational effort to develop clean technology.
Trump’s DOE landing team is led by Tom Pyle, president of the American Energy Alliance, a Koch brothers-funded oil-industry advocacy group. The president-elect has not yet appointed an energy secretary, although on Thursday he announced that the Koch-adjacent Oklahoma attorney general Scott Pruitt would head the Environmental Protection Agency.
Another Koch associate, Harold Hamm, who served as co-chairman of Pruitt’s 2013 re-election campaign, is reportedly being considered for the role, as is Ray Washburne, the only member of Governor Chris Christie’s coterie left in the Trump camp.
HHS is Anti-Insurance.
Education is Anti-Education.
Petraeus who spilled more than Snowden because he couldn't keep his zipper up.
Mattis, who couldn't keep his mouth shut and can't wait to start another WAR.
Really, what did you expect?
We've got a Labor Secretary nominee who's hostile to Labor.
And an EPA Secretary that's hostile to environmental protection.
A Education Secretary that's hostile to public education.
A Justice Department nominee that's hostile to justice.
A pro-Wall Street (meaning anti-Main Street) nominee for Treasury.
A UN Ambassador with absolutely no diplomatic or international affairs experience or training.
And a HUD nominee who thinks Joseph built the pyramids.

It's always disappointing when some retired old military fart proposes and supports TYRANNY and shredding the Constitution.
Isn't the Right to Protest a Bitch when they don't agree with you?
This really isn't funny....who believes this man's insane rants?
This is the problem with American's poorly educated folks.

I'm waiting for Martin Shkreli to be tapped for head of the FDA at this rate.
Maybe Milo Yiannopoulos as the new head of programming for PBS?
Bernie Madoff for a position of the SEC?
Absolutely PATHETIC!

Fascinating read and analysis of the cover. Jake Romm: "The masterstroke, the single detail that completes the entire image, is the chair. Trump is seated in what looks to be a vintage “Louis XV” chair (so named because it was designed in France under the reign of King Louis XV in the mid 18th century). The chair not only suggests the blindly ostentatious reigns of the French kings just before the revolution, but also, more specifically, the reign of Louis XV who, according to historian Norman Davies, “paid more attention to hunting women and stags than to governing the country” and whose reign was marked by “debilitating stagnation,” “recurrent wars,” and “perpetual financial crisis” (sound familiar?).
The brilliance of the chair however, is visual rather than historical. It’s a gaudy symbol of wealth and status, but if you look at the top right corner, you can see a rip in the upholstery, signifying Trump’s own cracked image. Behind the bluster, behind the glowing displays of wealth, behind the glittering promises, we have the debt, the tastelessness, the demagoguery, the racism, the lack of government experience or knowledge (all of which we unfortunately know too well already). Once we notice the rip, the splotches on the wood come into focus, the cracks in Trump’s makeup, the thinness of his hair, the stain on the bottom left corner of the seat — the entire illusion of grandeur begins to collapse. The cover is less an image of a man in power than the freeze frame of a leader, and his country, in a state of decay. The ghostly shadow works overtime here — suggesting a splendor that has already passed, if it ever existed at all."

We know that the recent U.S. election results may call into question just how the U.S. will meet COP21 goals for a future below 2° C. That's why RMI’s work, and your partnership to advance market-based solutions to a clean, prosperous, and secure low-carbon energy future is more important than ever.

The "patriotic" jingoistic self image america has and promotes around the world is like America's "First Date Self" and online dating profile pic, polished, highly photoshopped, carefully monitored and "always on" ....and phoney as hell
Trump represents the REAL america...you know, the one you wake up next to 6mo in that's less than mediocre, borderline sociopathic, incurably narcissistic and better than everyone (despite all evidence)...and beats you for the beer not being cold enough
Trump is america "at home when no one is watching"
