We struggle to get the right guy on the job and these nitwits start trying to do the Leftist’s job for them.

Par for the course with these types of Republicans.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!

Lesson for today:

1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.

2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.

3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.

4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.

5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.

Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

6. Scientists agree that they don’t understand solar output cycles and can not accurately predict it.

7. Most if not all the gloom and doom computer models do not include solar output in the model.

8. Therefore anyone with more than a second grade education would conclude the models are TOTALLY BOGUS!!!

9. Except for liberals who will not admit it in spite of all the fact to the contrary.

Carbon TAX is a never ending tax, since even humans are made of carbon !

If non-plant living things cannot exhale carbon (CO2) they die. All of them, including marine life and endangered species, and incidentally, people.

The greatest source of terrestrial CO2 by far are termites. We must mount a "Manhattan Project" class of war against termites. Maybe we can nuke them! Human beings consist of hydrocarbons. Tax carbon and you tax life. I can't imagine a clearer tax on the right to live. Only a politician could dream that up.

Before anything else, the struggle for freedom demands that the elected criminals MUST live by the same rules as the regular citizens, including energy use. No more Uncle Crazy Joe FLYING 90 MILES TO HIS HOME FROM DC 2 OR 3 TIMES A WEEK...

So they’re just outright admitting it’s been a money scam this whole time and they’re begging for a hail Mary now that the jig is up?

“Par for the course with these types of Republicans.”

These fools just can’t help themselves. After 8 years of Obama, these Uniparty idiots now think they’re safe to act like the libtards they truly are. The voice of their constituents electing an outsider for President had ZERO impact upon them. I’m starting to believe it’s not conservative’s who keep electing them back into office, but rather that they are just as involved in rigging the elections as the democrats are.

About the elections, I certainly agree.

Someone mentioned that McConnell refusing to seat an Obama SCOTUS nominee, was why Trump gets the choice right now.

I’ve had to temper my criticism of him based on that. It was a good point, and he did serve us well during that period.

He didn’t cave.

The only “Carbon tax” I’d go along with is:

The more CO2 you produce....the lower the tax.

What if you don't own a motor vehicle?

Tillerson claims that Obama’s CO2 environmental regulations are so complex, and so entrenched, that we can only get rid of them by imposing an international carbon tax.

That shows an appalling lack of imagination on Tillerson's part, nothing more.

Creepy how these aholes want to give the world the shirt of my back without even giving me a kiss after they frack me.

If they want money for their sicko global warming scam, I suggest they go door to door with a tin cup instead of using the government to extort the money from hard working Americans!

Better yet, use ALL their wealth first to see how it stops global warming, and then we will think about it (not).

And Republican politicians are going along with this bull crap? Politicians who believe in the global warming scare are not educated enough to hold public office.

Drain the swamp!!

Get rid of all those snake oil salesmen. Best not to even meet with them, since a meeting will give them credibility.

That why Trump’s five year ban on previous government workers being lobbyist is so great. Five years might not be enough tough.
