He’s a whore.

houndgirl.bsky.social•30 days ago

No a whore has more decency than that piece of shit!

Where is a demeaning label for women who do sex work or have sex with more than one guy if the people involved are aware so cares.

THIS this is I'm going to destroy the world evil villain vibe! This person is an are abhorrent stain!

Now he will beg opec to increase production and put many domestic oil companies out of business.

reclinerking.bsky.social•30 days ago

Can’t ask Arab oil producers to lower pricing and expect companies to spend money on new wells when there is no profit. Can’t have it both ways. Business man…not.

The United States has always been an open market for just about anything. What is surprising most to most is how the political environment became a commodity to be traded and purchased.
Be careful for what you wish and what you are voting for. The 2 may have opposing futures.

Trump has sold us out to Big Oil; which poisons our air, our water, and our land. He has destroyed the measures Joe Biden et al developed to save our planet.

enzibzianna.bsky.social•30 days ago

Campaign contributions and inauguration donations are euphemisms for bribes. Do we need to see a contract to recognize a quid pro quo? Those born today will wonder why we didn't do more to protect them from oil, plastic, forever chemical, and pesticide companies' pollution.

He is all transactional.

He could care less about this country, only what is in it for him.

The depth and widespread corruption is staggering.

davidw38.bsky.social•31 days ago

The opposition should be responding to every decision made by the Trump administration by clearly showing which billionaires are benefiting and how it's at the expense of the American people.

We'll get more traction attacking the Oligarchs directly and Trump indirectly.

thundxrcloud.bsky.social•30 days ago

And this is why we can’t have nice things. All those Jill Stein voters or voters that failed to turn up that also care about the climate (and they do, and there are a lot) now helped bring this.

reallynicetry.bsky.social•30 days ago

Ouch, is that a tad unfair? They participated. They had opinions and voted accordingly. Isn't that called democracy? Isn't that what we are losing?

10's of millions of eligible voters did not participate, so there's that.

Still, I want it to be clear Emperor Dolt DID NOT WIN THE POPULAR VOTE

thundxrcloud.bsky.social•30 days ago

Don’t think it unfair at all. We’ll have to set aside smaller differences and our single issues to accomplish larger goals. Can only blame so much on the opportunists, when the opportunity is there for the majority and we don’t take it.

jokes on them, alternative energy is cheaper than gas. even they are using solar as much as possible

stephg-v2.bsky.social•30 days ago

Are you trying to prepare us to go to civil war?

Listing the crimes of the person in charge for 4 years, who also owns the SCOTUS, is pointless and flacid.

When the peaceful protests start, Trump will have people involved who will make it violent, and his red hats will be free to murder anyone.

daveski99.bsky.social•31 days ago

Don't forget his Greenland, Canada takeover plans are based on getting big oil in the newly freed Arctic regions. It's certainly not about security.

Because, the answer is NO , Robert. They're NOT paying attention.

nu11-vo1d.bsky.social•30 days ago

its okay, everything gets corrected, Trump and his cronies didn't learn any lessons from the pandemic. Mother nature will once again teach all these retards a valuable lesson. Billionaires love the shoreline, which is funny because there won't be any shorelines in the near future.

lorihjschaffer.bsky.social•31 days ago

I am already striking. Just do it! Stay home and entertain. Don't buy anything you don't have to for as long as possible, then shop local and avoid MAGA owned businesses. Vacations are camping trips to state parks. Boycott FB, X, & all MAGA owned media. Get news from PBS, NPR, and trusted sites.

thecursingpoet.bsky.social•31 days ago

Then of course there is what a market with a lot on the supply side already will do, about which not even a man who has come to think he is God's chosen can do much about.

He does not care about our planet. Normally people would realize at 78 they are not here much longer. This ass clown just wants more money for himself

merri24.bsky.social•30 days ago

It’s high time we get all this big money and the lobbyists out of our government. I cannot believe that we still allow them to buy elections and congressional seats and apparently, the White House.

moosemonster31.bsky.social•31 days ago

Does the renaming the Gulf
Of Mexico to Gulf of America affect the restrictions on oil leases?

texasmusicgirl.bsky.social•31 days ago

That’s his MO.

sallyb33755.bsky.social•31 days ago

I'll be waiting for the inevitable oil slick on the new "Gulf of America." Fairly certain DeSantis will flip for Trump and allow drilling in the Gulf.

It's not if, it's when will it happen.

shannonbb-8.bsky.social•30 days ago

Exactly. Trump and his billionaire handlers clearly don't give a hoot about affordable energy--they are trying to make wind and solar more expensive and harder to build while lavishing gifts on the fossil fuel industry, which increases their profits but does nothing to lower prices for Americans

Bribery is Bribery, whether it is a bag of money personally handed over to a public official or a contribution hidden in the dark mess that is a PAC or campaign funds!

They don’t want ANWR. Too costly to exploit. Removing the electric mandate was the goal, and they got it.

plantsnob.bsky.social•30 days ago

Not just costly but they also know that by the time they get ready to starting installing Trump will be gone and being in ANWR will become hostile again. With an oil glut ongoing there is just no reason to bother with that headache.
