Shitstain Cancels Trip To PA Petrochemical Plant - Apparently Has Funerals To Crash

EDIT

Emergency Services Director Eric Brewer said there was no mention of postponing or rescheduling the event, which was supposed to include a tour of Royal Dutch Shell’s petrochemical complex in Potter Township and a speech about the economy and manufacturing.

Mr. Brewer said the notice was brief and likely referred to a string of mass shootings that rocked the U.S. over the weekend. President Donald Trump addressed the violence in remarks Monday morning.

Shell is building an ethane cracker and derivative units that will transform natural gas liquids into plastic pellets. The multi-billion dollar project will gobble up ethane produced from the Marcellus and Utica shales in Appalachia.
