JFC. Signs an EO to keep coal mining but a big eff you to the miners. How perfectly, insanely trumpian.

Yeah, let’s return to a dangerous, dying industry that’s also deadly for both the miners & the public that has to breathe air that’s poisoned when coal is used as an energy source.

Gov. Hickenlooper testified to the Senate that he drank fracking fluid with Halliburton execs, and Al Franken asked if it was an occult ritual.
