THE ERA OF TRUMP

[StCapps]

Take your shitty oil, refine it yourself, and ship it out to your Chinese buttbuddies via Vancouver.

I'm all for that, and some Keystone XL on the side. I'll have my cake and eat it too thank you. Though I won't be holding my breath for the Canadian government to come through on their end.

On the other hand though the Secret President of Canada is going to make it rain on us cumulonimbus style, he's got some big ol' piles of money and guess what they shovel ready.

Maybe. Hopefully. But right now electric doesn't look viable for some time.

The other problem is that you have to generate the additional electricity to account for the energy we now get from burning fossil fuels in vehicles. That means either a shit ton of coal or more nuclear power plants. But environmentalists will shit kittens.

Small tractor, yes, but the engineering is already there. Been there for a long time now.

Watch those videos.

I know it's not a panacea, but it has applications. Farm tractors with a small travel radius is one.

[TheReal_ND]

Still a real long ways from a turbo diesel.

[Okeefenokee]

I agree. So does most of America. No deal.

Trump disagrees and doesn't want a nix a good deal by acting like a bully in a doomed attempt to get a deal that will never happen. So your wishes are irrelevant, because the secret president of Canada and his GOP buddies are going to make it rain on us regardless.

Muahahaha!

I thought the secret president of Canada was Castro, may he rest in peace.

Maybe something will come out of this, maybe not and Flynn is just trying to squeeze an immunity deal for himself but has nothing of value to prove/disprove that Trump worked with the Russians. Or maybe Flynn never said anything like this:

Former national security adviser Michael Flynn has offered to cooperate with congressional investigators in exchange for immunity from prosecution, a suggestion that has been met with initial skepticism, according to people familiar with the matter.

“General Flynn certainly has a story to tell, and he very much wants to tell it, should the circumstances permit,’’ Flynn’s attorney, Robert Kelner, said in a statement Thursday evening. “Out of respect for the committees, we will not comment right now on the details of discussions between counsel for General Flynn and the House and Senate intelligence committees, other than to confirm that those discussions have taken place. But it is important to acknowledge the circumstances in which those discussions are occurring.’’

The committees are both looking into whether any associates of Donald Trump may have coordinated with agents of the Russian government seeking to meddle in last year’s presidential election. The FBI is also investigating. The Trump administration has denied any such coordination.

The offer by Flynn’s lawyer was first reported by the Wall Street Journal. Flynn’s overture seemed to have been aimed principally at the Senate committee, as Democrats on the House committee said they had not received word of an offer of testimony for immunity.

Fucking hell, Penner, you just eat up every morsel they give you. I bet you didn't even read the letter before you posted. You didn't did you? No, if you had read it, you'd know the letter was not what your story said it was at all, but you can't help yourself. Gotta believe every last word they give you about the big bad man.

Chaffetz is throwing in his two cents:

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) told Fox News he disagrees with the president’s characterization of the Russia investigation, as well as the commander in chief’s decision to comment on it.

“No, I don’t think it’s a witch hunt,” Chaffetz said. “Look, it’s very mysterious to me, though, why all of a sudden Gen. Flynn is suddenly out there saying he wants immunity. I don’t think Congress should give him immunity. If there’s an open investigation by the FBI, that should not happen. I also don’t believe that, actually, that the president should be weighing in on this. They’re the ones that actually would prosecute something.”

Chaffetz suggested he was being just as critical of Trump as he was of former President Barack Obama, specifically, he said, when Obama commented on the IRS targeting scandal before he had all the facts.

“And I don’t think Donald Trump should be weighing in on this at this point,” he said. “But I don’t think there should be given immunity, either. I mean, immunity from what? We don’t know what that is.”
