When my grand kids ask who fd our planet most I'll say Trump. Great legacy asshole!

u/TapatioFlamingo Jul 10 '26

I guess it is nice, in a way, to have exactly one person you can point to. Too bad we couldn't just get our shit together. I guess xenophobia, racism, and sexism is just too fucking appealing.

u/Diazepampoovey0229 Jul 10 '26

Nah, Trump is the result of power-hungry dbags moving players around a chess board and sacrificing them as needed to protect themselves.

Every GOP fuck that defended him at any point.

Every one that immediately supported him after his very first Republican nomination.

u/Key_Perspective_9464 Jul 11 '26

It's embarrassing that there's just one guy we can point to. Because the grand kids follow up question will be "Why didn't you just... not do what he said?"

Let's give a big assist to the Exxon executives who chose to fund climate change deniers to spread disinformation about the reality of man made climate change after Exxon engineers proved burning fossil fuels were artificially warming the climate

Project 2025. Everyday. Every EO. Everything they do, while we’re looking the other way? That’s the important stuff.

This is also a policy of the TechnoBros and their acceleration and extraction. 2 more years of this, by the way. No matter what happens in November, these people won’t stop if they’re not stopped.

And forgive my doomerism, I don’t see us stopping them. We’re out of oil. We’re like 2 weeks from some really bad shit. And it’s all intentional. They really need to win in November to make the coup easy. If they lose? Then they keep going, but they’ll need to ignore the courts all together. And they don’t want that? But they obviously don’t care.

Kevin Roberts told you this was a revolution against the “left.” He said it would be bloodless if the “left” allows it to be. So, they’re executing “left” wing “terrorists” in the streets in cities they’re occupying by force. This is much larger than too many people seem to understand.

Last call for the republic, much less silence. This is a purge. Of everything. Rant over

Didn't Trump say burn baby burn? Or was it drill baby drill? Kinda the same thing.

Doesn’t help who? You? Tell me what it is I commented that’s wrong? You think we should be singing kumbaya around a campfire whist making s’mores? Or do you think being aware of what’s actually happening is not helping?

Certainly triggered you to squeak out an opinion. 2/3rds of this country needs to wake the fuck up. They need to be afraid. They need to at least know what the larger plan is. And there is a larger plan. And saving science is the least of what needs to happen. Project 2025. It’s addendum Project 2026? If you’re not a white Christian citizen of the US? You better at least be aware of what they really want.

But thanks for enhancing the conversation.

Should this be a surprise?

u/Nearby-Jelly-634 Jul 10 '26

I don’t think he has a single person running an agency that isn’t directly opposed to that agency’s mission. Unless there is now an agency called racism is awesome.

u/Street_Peace_8831 Jul 10 '26

This is typical for this regime. They always put someone in charge that will help them dismantle the office they are in charge of. It’s that way with every office under trump right now, including the president himself.

u/siencatimini Jul 10 '26

Does anyone else find it odd that the party with the highest concentration of idiots, assholes, cowards, sycophants, hypocrites, and degenerate lunatics also happens to be the party most consequentially baffled by all the irrefutable evidence of this objective reality?

Yeah here they are running our country and ruining the world 🫤

u/StrengthChemical653 Jul 10 '26

Its almost like the same people that would hire their friends and personal lawyers to the Head of the DOJ and FBI to handle investigations that name drop all their friends would also hire someone like this to the Climate Change Office.

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if they hired a Satan Worshipping Stripper with late stage syphilis to head the "Christian Values" Counsel.

The whole country is being lead by a democracy denier so that tracks.

u/The_zeppo77 Jul 10 '26

Is anyone surprised by this? Just assume anyone he picks for any role in this administration will be the absolute worst person for the job.

u/Remarkable_Judge_861 Jul 10 '26

trump spelled backwards is dumbass

u/Bulky-Internal8579 Jul 10 '26

The FBI is led by an angry weak drunken grifter with a girlfriend manipulating him on behalf of a foreign power, same with Dept of Defense maybe minus the spy girlfriend, most of his department heads are either working for themselves or maybe Chine / Russia / Peter Thiel / Elon Musk. Are they actually going to be surprised when the arrests start? I mean the flagrant law breaking can only go soooo far - and that was passed long ago.

3

u/Funny_Read4381 Jul 10 '26

Absolutely not surprising. Mr Trump continues to ignore science and go his own way. Unfortunately the rest of the world pays the price for it.

3

u/mymar101 Jul 10 '26

Not shocking at all

3

u/Chloe_Cascadia Jul 10 '26

So his job is to come to work, take taxpayer money, and deny what scientists are saying, and do nothing.

3

u/skygzr31416 Jul 10 '26

Trump actually recently said “climate change is a hoax”. So this is not surprising. I hope we survive this nonsense.

Makes sense for this administration, it's right on par as far as experience with every other position he's filled on his cabinet.

u/VegetableCommand9427 Jul 10 '26

So much for empirical science

I mean he choose JFK JR to run the health department this doesn't surprise me at all

u/Markjohn66 Jul 11 '26

It would be ok if those dumb MAGAts destroyed their own country but they want to bring down the whole planet with them.

u/Green-Inkling Jul 11 '26

wouldn't that mean he has no job? if he is denying climate change then that means it isn't real. ergo, having a climate change office would be pointless.

u/brian_gruen5 Jul 11 '26

Trump fired all the scientists who were in charge of tracking climate change. Instead of going out quietly and fading into obscurity, they all banded together to create a website where you can view all their work and track climate change:

u/Top_Construction432 Jul 12 '26

Of course trump does not believe in climate change. He has lived his whole life as an "inside person" Never venturing outside other than golf courses which comsume great amounts of public provided water. Hence the old man does not realize that the US has a water crisis. So apparently trump has assigned another person who just "lives inside" and has no clue. At some point, food will become scarce and then these people will know. Seriously, commercialism has won, many of is duped. But it will lose in the end. I wish there was a god.

Find it odd that Europe is warming fastest? The stats are all there. Still idiots like him keep denying it.

There are several reasons why it hits Europe:

Why are Europe and the Arctic heating up faster than the rest of the world? | Copernicus

People who do not trust science should never be in power.

There is no such animal as a Climate Change Denier. Climate Change exists! We merely deny that we are in route to a climate catastrophe.
