So, the worst people imaginable in every situation. Got it, no, we were expecting that.

When they say "great" they mean "cruel" and we hear "terrible, racist, misogynistic, impoverished, and needlessly violent."

This is what they want. Total dismantling of every system that impedes capitalism and Christianity from absolute authority.

“There is no climate crisis and we are not in the midst of an energy transition either,” he said, adding that “the term carbon pollution is outrageous” because all life depended on carbon dioxide.

“There is no such thing as clean energy or dirty energy, all energy sources have impacts on the world both positive and negative,” he added.

Trump is setting up a race between climate change, pandemics, and world war.

Stop calling them sceptics and calling them what they are: liars, willful deniers and shills. Purposefully rejecting reality in pursuit of personal gain. There's nothing sceptic about that.

The comparison of the person proposed for the equivalent position in the European Union is interesting.

I'm glad there is no fracking needed around us. My groundwater source is fairly safe.
