Just Above the Police Calls

Our president covered himself in glory, seemingly, in Davos, Switzerland, earlier this week with a 'never mind the environment, here's the next installment of the Industrial Age' barn-burner of a speech that seemingly impressed just about no one but himself. Again

Yeah, I could have linked you to a transcript of his remarks but to capture the full-on dotard effect I think you actually have to listen to him as the half-formed ideas combine with random utterances on their way out of his piehole in a vain effort to form words. And because I can, here's how a young adult, Greta Thunberg, used her time at Davos. 

Seriously. We've got a guy who insists windmills cause cancer while rejecting climate crisis and sees bigger and brighter days ahead for fossil fuels. He tends to denigrate Thunberg and so many others like her both for her concern and her efforts but is quite happy to leave whatever clean-up can be accomplished of what's left of our planet to her and her generation because he and his just don't care.

Suspect Florida's newest, and most certainly most orange, resident may start to change his tune about the impacts, long and short-term, of climate change if/when instead of raining pennies from heaven, something else ends up scaring the hail out of him. Like this

Unlike Sharpie-Gate, the Mango Mussolini and his minions might finally start to believe in something other than the infallibility and intellectual superiority of Cadet Bone Spurs, unless they choose to blame the falling iguanas on yet another caravan of invading immigrants, though those only seem to show up (on Fox News) when we're within five months of an election.

I buy the product but never use it. Stay tuned.
