Fri Mar 20, 2026, 12:29 PM

Or even requiring full electric vehicles. Whereas the Korrupt Korpulent Koprolite and his administration are pushing full-sized, fuel guzzling vehicles on us. Things like 4X4 PNS X-10-DRs and V-8 powered Dodge Compensators. Exactly the opposite of what we need to push environmentally. It might even drive a resurgence of dense urban areas with mass-transit and an exodus from suburbs and low population areas where cars are a must-have.

His efforts to maximize oil company profits will just kill the American car industry. If fuel prices stay high, those gas guzzlers will be dumped and people will resume buying new or used EVs, hybrids, and small cars that are no longer offered by our big three.

... instead of looking to de-escalate the conflict and avert – or more likely, simply stop exacerbating a global energy crisis – Trump’s administration seems to be gloating about how its Western allies will suffer more than they will.

Speaking to crowds on Wednesday, vice president JD Vance said US allies are “suffering from this, frankly, more than we are” ...

With friends like JD, who needs enemies?

"We actually worked with a lot of our allies all over the world, who are suffering from this, frankly, more than we are because unlike the United States, where we pursued an energy dominance agenda, you've got a lot of people all over the world who have focused on a lot of green energy scams, and they're hurting a lot more than we are.” - Vance, Auburn Hills, Michigan, 19 March 2026

Many countries around the world are already running on renewable energy, including Iceland. My friend in Indian Wells, CA charges her electric car and runs her house on solar panels. Works great!

Is that all those who leaned heavily into green energy are handling this crisis quite well. Spain went all in to solar and the impact of this “excursion” is minimal.

He better work on the length of his red tie though. The eye liner is a nice touch. Maybe he can learn how to use the orange pancake makeup too.

Does he really think that the planet can run on fossil fuels, fueling increasing populations, and polluting the planet........forever?

To call the endeavour to accomplish the feat of replacing that energy demand with solar, wind, or other new ideas, like tidal etc. Or even to just take a big chunk out of the dirty fuel demand, is part of a "green energy scam" is so dim witted.

Saw a clip from him that was pre-eye liner, pre perma-stubble. He has weak features. I swear I’ve never seen a more pathetic group of he-man cosplayers who are such snowflakes in real life.

If you could make the “baby face” nickname stick, it would hurt.

Then we need to find the right key for Petey. Never forget, this is the same administration that basically let Spicer go because McCarthy skewered him so mercilessly on SNL that it became an instant meme.

If there’s any kryptonite for them at all, it’s legitimate, loud, sustained public ridicule.
