Anything to hurt America.

No enemy on the planet could be doing more harm to our country than the treasonous GOP.

In general the worst enemy of a crumbling empire is itself.

We had another 30-40 years before that happened tho if he never came to power.

Him coming to power is part of the crumbling of the empire; it's the inevitable result of the elites distracting from their misrule to stay in power. I mean it didn't technically have to be Trump, but if not him it'd have been someone else.

what if they take the money and then just build them anyway

Jhex@lemmy.world · 32 pts · 104d

that's what will likely happen once the pedophile regime falls... it is a great time to be an american tax payer: double the costs, half the benefits!

Sure they will. In Europe or in Asia.

The condition is on building oil and gas infrastructure. They would forfeit the money if they did that.

you mean like how telco was given money to build out broadband infrastructure?

zbyte64@awful.systems · 2 pts · 102d

More like the opposite: paying telcos to stop rolling out broadband and promise to roll out copper instead

I don't think any administration fought back against that.

They're spending metric shit-tons of taxpayer money to keep us dependent on fossil fuels that are killing us.

Republicans: Have more babies so we have reliable workers!

Also Republicans: We're gonna fuck everything up so badly you die.

He should cancel that big windmill on top of his helicopter.

Trump is a class A moron

amateurcrastinator@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 104d

He is clearly thinking about the birds

Exactly like Ford in Ontario.

Meanwhile our PC leader here in Nova Scotia, as much as I don't like him, is working on a massive off shore wind project that would power somewhere around 27% of the province just on wind energy.
