Petition To Remove Air Conditioning From State Department Has Over 1,800 Signatures [over 5000 now]
Daily Caller ^ | 07/25/2016 | Craig Bordeau

An online petition to remove all air conditioning from Department of State property has gotten more than 1,800 signatures since it was posted online Sunday.

A Change.org user named Hopalong Ginsberg created the petition in response to remarks made by Secretary of State John Kerry claiming air conditioning and refrigerants are as much of a threat to the world as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). The petition garnered 1,869 signatures by Monday afternoon.

The petition states:

“WHEREAS, Secretary of State John F. Kerry has suggested that air conditioners are as big a threat as ISIS, and WHEREAS, it is the duty of our elected and appointed government officials to lead by example, THEREFORE, we call upon the U.S. Department of State to remove air conditioning from all property that the Department owns, rents, or otherwise employs, including but not limited to embassies, consulates, office buildings, etc., all vehicles owned and/or operated by the Department, and any other property, real or movable, owned, rented, or otherwise employed by the Department.”

A real upside if the petition is complied with, is that John Effin Kerry's Botox face will melt in the heat!

A win-win!

LOL....Stolen from Tonto "Bubba" Goldstein?!?:

Fellow talking to a gal on a train plane. She has just shared that she is a nymphomaniac and giving a report on it at the Adult Video Awards in Vegas on who the best sex partners are.

Him: Who makes the best sexual partners?
She: Based on my research, JEWS are the most aggressive in bed, not Italians. Also, blacks don't have the biggest &%&*&#@!, Native Americans do. And the French don't last the longest in bed, the southern cowboys hold the record for longevity.
Him: Wow...what a thesis. Who would have known?
Her: Im so sorry, I was so excited I didn't get your name?
Him: (big grin) My name is Tonto Goldstein, but my friends call me "Bubba".

Show the video of all of them being forcefully riped out of his offices, all of his cars, all of his planes, all of his houses, and then I might, just might, only might believe him.

Just think about the “good” that might have resulted from having Loretta Lynch and Bent Bill in an airplane without any air conditioning.

And not to be outdone, oblahblah should order the A/C removed from the white house and air force one. The congress should be next, like the old days, the worst thing that ever happened to the Capitol Building and the house and senate buildings was installing A/C...when it is hot and unbearable, they would all leave and go back their states, where they would actually stop legislating for months, as it should be, they do LESS damage that way.

I would say also let's cut off the air conditioning at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia as well, but I am sure those hippies in there are ALREADY stinking up the place, and I wouldn't want to put any opposition-research conservatives (not to mention the foxy FOX babes) who might be there into harm's way any more than they already are!

Remove air conditioning from all US State Department property.

And from their limos and official cars. Actually they should set an example and remove it from all of their homes too. And Air Force One.
