What a coincidence: Newsweek and now the CDC go after McDonalds

 



The world has grown to 8 billion because it gets 76+% of its primary energy from cheap fossil fuels, but Kamala Harris' energy adviser won't have kids and calls them the death cult

Fossil fuels have terrorized her into childlessness and hatred for individualists, whites, and men.

 





Kamala Harris' confused messaging on fossil fuels, reported by Politico and given publicity by CNN's KFILE, continues to melt down lol

Camila Thorndike, a top Harris-Walz campaign climate adviser, abruptly walked back her recent comments stating that Vice President Kamala Harris would be hostile to future oil and gas drilling as president—effectively reversing her reversal of the candidate's position.

In a statement Monday, Thorndike lamented that she wasn't clear enough when she told Politico last week that Harris is not "promoting expansion" of oil drilling and suggested Harris was not fond of a provision in the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act mandating fossil fuel leases. Thorndike serves as Harris's "climate engagement director."

"I didn't explain myself clearly here," Thorndike said Monday. "Contrary to Trump's claims, the VP has not banned fracking, doesn't support banning fracking, and in fact cast the tie-breaking vote on the biggest pro-climate law ever, which, yes, opened new fracking leases. People know that's her position." ...

It remains unclear how Thorndike's new statement clarifies her comments from last week.

It's hard to run away from a former position which had no nuance.

Harris was, and remains, an extreme opponent of fossil fuels, a Kool-Aid drinker like Hillary Clinton who thought you could mandate solar panels on every home in the United States.

More importantly, her political support comes from the extreme opponents of fossil fuels, and they have to be assuaged as Harris runs away from them in order to win in pro-fracking Pennsylvania, at whom the Monday statement was aimed.

Harris' climate adviser is being forced by the campaign to say words she doesn't want to say.

The greatest troll in U.S. presidential politics

 


In what will go down as the greatest troll in U.S. presidential politics, Donald Trump put on an apron, scooped up some fries and blew a hole in the HMS Harris-Walz. ...

And if you don’t understand what Trump did at McDonald’s and that it was a breakthrough in this campaign, then you don’t understand Trump or the country. ...

The cook who was too old, too tired and too senile to be president took the entire contents of the freezer bag labeled “Democratic Party” and emptied it into his metal basket.

Then he deep fried it in hydrogenated vegetable fat.

-- Phil Boas, "Trump went to McDonald's and fried Kamala Harris' campaign to a crisp" for The Arizona Republic 

Feelings decide presidential elections, and Trump just made people who eat at McDonalds feel good

  . . . feelings decide presidential elections, and the almost gleeful anti-American thrust of Biden’s presidency has given more than 60% of potential voters a feeling that we are on the wrong track as a nation.

Barack Obama is a lyin' pos who could have made any such life-saving measures public long before now, but everyone knows they never existed

If they did exist, the lost lives are on him and no one else because he kept his mouth shut, which is what he should be doing right now instead of spewing lies to get Kamala Harris elected.

Democracy is an everlasting reproach to politicks


 It would be an everlasting reproach to politicks, should such men overturn an establishment formed by the wisest laws, and supported by the ablest heads.
