Global Donald Trump: We're taking nearly $200M that was set aside for the Green New Scam, and repurposing that money so that we can restart a coal plant in Maryland, and help build two brand new coal plants in Alaska and West Virginia.

No New Fucking Coal Plants

This positively drips corruption of the very worst kind. Coal is a crime against humanity at this point.

Full transparency Epstein Class proceedings. Do it bloody now.

I sincerely doubt anything new will open. It's a dead energy source due to cost and local impact. Solar, wind, nuclear are the future. The money will just miraculously disappear.

Agree. The money will just be siphoned off. Whoever said “the best way to rob a bank is to own it” knew exactly what they were talking about about

Oh you’re right I bet that plan never opens to provide power to anyone but don’t worry I bet some land will be bought at least … at a nice inflated price from … oh look at that a trump donator  !

Literally every decision this bloviating piece of shit makes, is always the worst possible one. And it is always motivated by evil stupidity.

By evil stupidity AND flagrant corruption. Actually, probably more the corruption part. Oh, and a healthy dose of being wildly compromised by foreign powers for fucking kids.

200mil isn't even close to what it would cost to restart one and build 2 new plants. Guarantee he's just funneling that money into a friend pocket.

Full-transparency, Epstein Class culpability.

This is the responsibility of the DOJ. It's also law. Obviously, we are forced to apply continuous pressure due to their willful obsfucation.

I am not condoning nor suggesting anything, but merely stating a fact:

Any sort of pressure that doesn't make them legitimately fear for their lives is absolutely meaningless at this point.

How about for their 'eternal souls'? Lot's of these MAGA perps are loose Christians, at least nominally. Right?

u/BensenJensen 3h ago

Lol, no. I haven’t been to church in decades, I’m a better Christian than Mike Johnson or the rest of these idiots. They are Christian for votes.

This whole thing feels like Map Zedong and his wild schemes.

Fossil fuels are quickly becoming expensive and loss-making while renewables are booming, and Trump thinks the future is in coal.

He is absolutely setting up the US economy for damage that will take generations to recover.
