Donald really likes Oil

And he really, really, really wants to thank ExxonMobil 

for helping him Make America Great Again!

Trump says:
Exxon will MAGA! 

How many biological species, and humans, will have to die in order 

for the US to enjoy the greatness is unknown at this point.

America loves oil: again, no surprise there.

Donald is once more rewarding those he already rewarded with cabinet posts. 

No surprise there, either. 

If you don't know, I'm referring to secretary of state Rex Tillerson, chief executive of ExxonMobil. 

I'm unsure whether or not he remains Exxon's CEO, or if that's even possible.

I'm sure someone will enlighten me on this point?

ExxonMobil crimes against humanity and the environment: 

ExxonMobil supports numerous right wing and conservative think tanks and lobby groups, 

(see 'PR Companies and Greenwash' and 'Lobbying' above for examples). 

They promote everything from environmental deregulation to cuts in social welfare spending. 

ExxonMobil is also a strong proponent of so called free trade.

ExxonMobil supports organisations like The Heritage Foundation that are working for the opening of Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, an ecologically sensitive area hosting numerous species. 

So far this area has been untouched by development. 

Exxon has been in the forefront of fighting any action on climate change. 

ExxonMobil was also a major contributor to a $13 million U.S. advertising campaign against the Kyoto agreement.

ExxonMobil sees no need to invest any of its huge profits into research into renewable energies.

ExxonMobil owns 50% of the Rundle oil shale deposit near the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area. Greenpeace Australia is currently campaigning against development because of the potential of toxic run off damaging the earth's most extensive, sensitive coral reef.

Exxon Chemical (producer of phthalates) and Mattel (toy manufacturer) opposed the EU-wide ban. 

In 1998, a proposed EU-wide ban on PVC toys containing phthalates was dropped. 

Exxon has also been the cause of environmental damage in Russia, Peru, Ecuador, Nigeria, Chad, Columbia, Indonesia. In fact, it seems difficult to find an area of the Earth Exxon Mobil hasn't damaged.

Exxon, with its extensive history of pollution, offshore drilling pollution, and Illegal water pollution, is also guilty of hazardous waste violations, stealing oil and gas, and violations against workers rights and safety.

Thanks a lot, ExxonMobil!

Snow Flurries in DC

President Barack Obama’s final Cabinet member wasn’t confirmed until 

the 99th day of his presidency, but you didn't hear him whining about it.

Poor Donald. At least we can all agree, no one's ever 

had a Bigger meeting with the Russians than Trump.

"Photo contradicts Pelosi's statement about not meeting Kislyak"

"House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Friday that 

she's never met with the current Russian ambassador, Sergey Kislyak. 

Asked to square Pelosi's comments with the photo of the meeting, a spokesman 

said Pelosi simply meant she never had a solo meeting with Kislyak."

Oh, this is good!  "Obama wiretaps Trump's Phones!"

I don't know which is funnier; the likelihood that it's 

Trump psychosis, or the possibility that it might be true.

The show must go on!

Donald has great respect for women, because women serve vital roles:

They have pussies you can grab.

They can give you a golden shower.

They're real killers, (especially smart ones who act feminine and needy).

But most of all, "...it really doesn’t matter what the media write 

as long as you’ve got a young, and beautiful, piece of ass.”

Clowns deserve mocked

Donald has fun in Second Life

Bonnibelle is shocked by the behavior of the new POTUS.

A comfortable seat

Donnie doing what he does best

Donald Blotter

 

Making way for the New Order

Some might say this is the real me

Au Revoir l'ancien Régime

Donald is not pleased by this pretender to the throne.

The Pin-Up Donald

No explanation necessary, I think

The Rise of the Orange Reich

A new standard for the new order.

Steal this flag, please!

The right of the people to peaceably assemble shall never be abridged.

 

God help us, why did it have to start in Arizona?

The Great Divide

“In loyalty to their kind they cannot tolerate our rise; in loyalty to our kind, we cannot tolerate their obstruction.”

“Your work is to survive. Neither his kind, nor his kind of thinking will survive long. They are the crown of creation, they are ambition fulfilled – they have nowhere more to go. But life is change, that is how it differs from rocks, change is its very nature.”

“They have become history without being aware of it. They are determined still that there is a final form to defend: soon they will attain the stability they strive for, in the form it is granted – a place among the fossils…”

John Wyndham, "Rebirth", 

If the lines written above seem eerily timely, consider this, from: "America's Second Civil War", Real Clear Politics

The belief system that "regards Western civilization as the greatest moral and artistic human achievement and viewed the celebration of racial identity as racism -- is now affirmed almost exclusively on the right"

"Like the left in every other country, the left in America essentially sees America as a racist, xenophobic, colonialist, imperialist, warmongering, money-worshipping, moronically religious."

What does the right hold dear, besides their bank accounts? 

Their belief in the supremacy of western civilization, of course. 

The right is utterly convinced that they are the pinnacle of human development. 

They're so arrogant of their own superiority that they believe no one else has the right to voice an opinion about how we humans might inhabit this earth. 

And where has blind faith in the superiority of western civilization brought us all, 

but to the brink of self-destruction? 

So yes, I agree with everything attributed above to the "left". 

The American right is "racist, xenophobic, colonialist, imperialist, warmongering, money-worshipping, moronically religious." 

The rest of America is NOT. 

America is not the private property of the right, regardless of what they believe.

Earth's natural resources do NOT belong to them exclusively.

The  American right is convinced that it has God's blessing to force its chosen way of life on all of America and the rest of the world.

This belief served them well. 

They prospered at the expense of others, and they've  managed to get away with it for a long time.

They want to hold on to their power, and they want even MORE.

This is NOT what the rest of the world wants. 

The administration that the right wing just put into power does NOT represent the majority of Americans, regardless of what their spin doctors try to convince everyone is true.

There is a civil divide, most definitely, and it's brother against brother just like the last time. 

Whether or not it will break out into actual warfare has yet to be seen. 

But I would caution those on the right about one thing: 

Most of humanity does not support your views, and America no longer holds all the ammo.

Nuclear weapons do not discriminate. 

There is no force on Earth as democratic as a hydrogen bomb.
