It would certainly be fun if some oil destroying land and water machines showed up at Mar-A-Largo. Is there a wise ass somewhere in America who could"Accidentally, " send the drillers there?

OMG and Trump asks the oilers, âwhich areas they would like to drill?â
Trump truly deserves to fall out of a helicopter when heâs taking the oilers for a look around.

There are principles in contract law as I remember from a University class I took.
The exact details escape me, but this is not a legal contract.
Perhaps a lawyer can weigh in here ~

I presume the banks have wised up to the lessening demand for fossil fuels as renewable energy is becoming more and more available and less and less expensive. The costly prospect of any development in the Arctic being held up
by endless expensive lawsuits also lessens the cause for alarm â hopefully itâs just another case of Tweetle-Dumb throwing his toys around before being confined to his crib with a bottle of warm milk and some fries.

Her statement is the motto and practice of Earth First! and direct action Earth protectors.
At some point, those who love the biosphere Earth will have to stop those who aim to destroy it.
Read Pulitzer prize âThe Overstoryâ as an example. The ultimate human civil war between those who love the biosphere and its living species, and those who seek to kill. The battle cry earth defenders scream, âDefeat those who rape mother earth.â
Portlandâs defeated challenger to Mayor Ted Wheeler, Sarah Iannarone is NOT DONE.
She is a national treasure now. Ted will go to court and face criminal charges. Booyah!

We can join with the natives and other nature lovers to protect The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge from oil, gas drilling and any other human mining/industrial or any other âdevelopmentâ activity forever. I m willing to travel there to join hands with the locals and people of conscience to stand for mother nature. This is the main reason i feared this son of a bitch yellow headed monster and voted against him the very next day i received my mail-in ballots. And that tortes McConnell who keeps shoving unqualified fascist judges through should be aboard that âhelicopterâ someone mentioned with trump and oil execs all together.

Never was anything undone about him anyway, except maybe his mind. Look at the freak show. Orange goo smeared on his face, plastic wig glued to his scalp. Totally lost. A slouching sunken failure. This was always apparent. A reflection of utter despair. An embarrassing moment that makes people grimace a bit when they remember it.

And all those M.F. vultures who think like him, what a damn monster child man. Our nationâs worst enemy and a criminal nature destroyer. I hope people rise up against this ass hole and the fucking oil and gas corporations he represented for the last 4 years. What do the Koch brothers breathe i wonder, do they have oxygen generators on their mansions too. Do they go out to the wilderness to get lost, camp, enjoy the fresh air and the scenery, the wildlife. I guess not their wildest travels are to the golf courses and posh resort hotels. I wish we could strip the wealthy to the bone of all their wickedly acquired money and property. And if we had the system we used to have until Reagan fucked it all up these rats would be facing anti trust breakup laws and paid fair taxes

I love parts of the new testament whist knowing that Jesus if he existed didnât even write a single word of the Bible. In fact the Bible wasnât around for some 400 years after his death. And the Bible was controlled by the Romans until Martin Luther brought it down to us commoners. So how much of the contents are actually manipulated or outright written by the Vatican? Humans need no religion, we can do fine without any religious commandments. Evil hurts and good feels soothing to the body and sole just natural law. Oh and canât forget to mention that the old Testament is solid waste poison trash disgusting shameful mention of how low humanity can go. No wonder Jesus split from the fundamentalist Jewsishness.

Yes there is.
Trump is leaving a scorched earth behind him. It is the same response a spoiled kid makes who takes his ball and goes home when he loses. Petulant little shit.
Maybe someone at BLM or Interior will slow-walk the paperwork.

The vatican holds the most authentic writings of ancient times: the dead sea scrolls.
Biden should immediately tell the bidders that he will cancel this outrageous stunt upon taking office. Then no company will bother to bid, and pour money into a soon to be prohibited action.
Câmon Joe, time to step up!
