It’s a given that Democrats will complain about every pick that a Republican makes, turning anthills into Mt. Everest, freaking out about everything. It’s what they do. Liberals are already at Level 10 Apoplexy, and add more with this complaint
Why It Matters That Trump’s Attorney General Pick Is a Climate Change Skeptic
…
While his controversial past and hardline stance on immigration reform (he evenopposes some types of legal immigration), are enough to raise eyebrows over this appointment, his scientifically unsound denials of climate change have largely been glossed over, so far. The senator is a devoted climate change skeptic and has gone above and beyond to take down Obama’s Clean Power Plan and sow seeds of doubt about the existence of global warming.
As US attorney general, Sessions will be tasked with leading the Justice Department and representing the federal government in legal affairs…
But it would also be Sessions’ job to bring cases concerning environmental laws to federal courts if needed. The US Justice Department currently regularly prosecutes individuals and companies for environmental crimes (mainly through its Environment and Natural Resources Division), such as polluting or evading regulations. Given Sessions’ public stances against climate science and environmental legislation, there’s an additional concern that he might ignore certain environmental issues, allowing federal environmental protections to wither.
In other words, Sessions doesn’t buy what the Cult of Climastrology is selling, so, Warmists are very concerned that he will spike any suits and refuse to get involved in defending Hotcoldwetdry policies as passed by Obama. Let’s not forget that Obama’s DOJ refused to defend numerous laws as passed by the Legislative branch, such as the Defense Of Marriage Act.
But, Sessions is not against environmental laws and regulations. He supports them. What he, along with soon-to-be-inaugurated Mr. Trump, do not support are the laws and regs based on the junk science of ‘climate change.’ The Cult of Climastrology attempts to link every real environmental issue with their Warmist beliefs, but the two are not the same.
Here’s something Warmists should remember: they lost. Trump won. You told us something similar when Obama won. So, sit back and enjoy the ride.
OK liberals, what did you expect from a Crazy, Crooked Don presidency? You could of got off your asses and voted but you let a minority takeover. This is what you get.
Of course he’s going to appoint lunatics like Jefferson Beauregard Sessions (AG), Mike Pompeo (CIA) and Mike Flynn (security advisor). He’s making good on his promises to the alt-right to go after Muslims. Pompeo is the biggest House booster for the surveillance state. Sessions is a racist and Flynn a lunatic Islamophobe. Trump is keeping his word.
In addition the family business is positioning themselves to make billions with Trump industry tie-ins to the US and world governments. Ivanka is peddling jewelry during official TV appearances. Her slimebag husband will be selling the Trump brand to developers in Russia, Japan, China, Saudi Arabia etc. In four years the family just may have more money than the Waltons! The Clintons are pikers compared to this gang of kleptocrats.
Reagan/Bush harmed America but we almost got back up to speed – although his assaults on the working classes still hurt. Bush II harmed America and we still haven’t recovered. Will Trump be the death knell? All signs point to him wanting to double down on the Bush II surveillance state, tough talk on Muslims – will they invade a Muslim majority nation if the economy tanks – it worked for Bush II. Domestically he proposes massive tax cuts and massive fiscal stimulus, both which WILL boost the economy (but at the expense of more debt). If they try to cut spending by slashing Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, they may be in trouble politically – but Turmp Inc only needs four years to make his billions. Or they might try the Reagan gambit and raise SS taxes on the workers and take the surplus collected and apply it to the debt (while still cutting taxes on the wealthy).
You can’t help it can you, you miserable cur? Everybody but you are racists. Idiot. And now they’re “lunatics” and islamophobes. Protecting our people from moslem killers is now Islamophobic because CAIR invented a new word for the America hating left to throw around. Idiots. Now you’re going all the way back to Reagan (who brought us out of a national nightmare caused by Clinton) whatsamatter, can’t think of something bad about Eisenhower??
Trump has driven people like you out of your mind (if you had one) and I love it! Go Trump! President Trump! Say it loud loser! Hahahahaha.
Suck it, little guy…

Is it me drowningpuppies or is Jeffery sounding like a mad dog more and more. And repeating the same nonsense as if trying to convince himself of that stupid crap.
Hoagie,
The little guy is still waffling between denial and anger.
His choice came in 2nd place out of 2 and no one is giving him a participation trophy.
So now he’s wallowing in his own self-induced mediocrity.
Amusing isn’t it?
Jeffery is comical….does he realize the more he vents the more funny this is……
(but at the expense of more debt)
OOOOOOOMMMMMMGGGGGGGG………like the left fuking cares about debt and deficits…..lolololol
But I thought deficits and debt were the most important issue facing America? Does debt only matter if a Democrat is prez? I thought so.
“Sessions is a… Flynn is a… Pompeo is a….” Jeffery can’t make any arguments, so like a good little liberal he just attaches labels to people. Very intellectually deep.
There are many things important to the country.
One has to wonder why Obama passed more regulations including more regulations that impact the economy negatively by costing over 100 million dollars than any other president by a wide margin.
One has to wonder how those regulations, if and when rolled back as they don’t produce or do anything, will help businesses and therefore lower the debt and deficit.
Time will tell.
Of course, if Trump rolls back those regulations and those costs, we won’t see Jeffery’s company saying to the government to keep the money as liberals never do what they want others to do.
gc,
Can you supply reliable citations to support your claims?

Overtime Regulations.
Even the Labor Department admits that most workers affected by the rule will never get the chance to work over 40 hours per week.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce identified 351 energy projects stalled by “not in my backyard†lawsuits, regulatory red tape, and, of course, endless lawsuits from environmental activists who want to quash these projects. Perhaps most surprising is the fact that almost half of these projects (140) are renewable-energy ones.
The Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) regulatory train wreck will prematurely shut down approximately 20 percent of America’s coal-fired electricity generation—enough to power 50 million homes.
And the EPA, using inadequate and inaccurate information, is threatening to shut down the Pebble Mine in Alaska, one of the world’s largest concentrations of copper, gold, and molybdenum in the world that would create 1,000 high-paying jobs.
The rules require an average fuel economy of 54.5 miles per gallon (mpg) in 2025. The government acknowledges that increased fuel efficiency standards will increase the upfront cost of a vehicle.
I could go on and on and on and on……….
Yes I can Jeffery and have in the past.\
Your response has always been to attack the reporting source (not the numbers – just the source) or to ignore the citations.
It is a game you play to distract from the discussion and I am no longer playing.
So no, you can’t or won’t. Just more unsubstantiated bullshit. Typical.
Laim,
Nice try, but just copying someone else’s unsubstantiated claims is not scholarship. Your “quotes”, such as they are, describe lawsuits from non governmental sources, not regulations. Your god-king Trump files more lawsuits than anyone in America.
We get it. The conserv-o-libertarian movement wants minimal laws and regulations, with what laws they will accept designed to protect the dominant culture from “infidels”. Sure, sure… you can make widgets cheaper by using child labor, no overtime laws, no requirements for PPE and by dumping your benzodichlorofluoromethylarsenopyridinocyclopentanoic acid byproducts in the Missouri River.
That deregulating will significantly help our economy is just another conserv-o-libertarian wet dream, up there with tax cuts pay for themselves and then some, eliminating state by state insurance boards will fix healthcare and we invaded Iraq because of WMDs.
Much of what conserv-o-libertarians believe to be true, is actually false.
And you’re getting worse. The disinformation to fact ratio is skyrocketing in Trumplandia. May Allah help us all.
And the little weasel who lied about serving in the Army continues his childish rants…
Soldier on, loser.
dp,
Will you offer actual evidence to support gc’s outrageous claims, since he refuses?
Or are you content to spread more lies?
As I said Jeffery, giving facts to you is a waste of time as you will ignore them or attack the source (not the facts.)
There is no reason for me or anyone to cast pearls before swine.
You’re doing that all by yourself, little contented loser guy.
Soldier on, little assraper.
For drowningpuppies:
Oookay, that didn’t work.
For drowningpuppies: You’re fired!
LOLZ!
Stealing that.
Or in this case, the lamentations of jeffy. Same thing, really.
Cassie,
Don’t be ashamed of being a girl.
Do YOU have evidence that regulations are stifling the economy without offering valuable benefits?
Child labor laws add costs to businesses, so is that a regulation we should eliminate? Catalytic converters add costs to an automobile yet we get much cleaner air.
That’s it? “I know what I am, what are you?” Or is that a variation of the old “I’m rubber, and you’re glue” response.
Weak tea either way. You were certain Trump would be humiliated, and now you’re thrashing around in denial.
I agree with drowningpuppies & gitarcarver; you have no real arguments. All I did was laugh at your tantrum, and you try to put words in my mouth.
Weak tea indeed.
Cassie,
So no, you have no argument to make, you just want to mud wrestle. Typical.
We have noticed time and again how vile rightists love to dish it out but can’t take it. The Pussy Grabber-elect is the perfect example. You seem no different.
Of course that is not the argument at all.
No one ever said anything about “stifling” the economy. But for a supposed business owner, you seem to think that all regulations are good. You seem to think that regulations that do nothing yet impact businesses and therefore the people that buy the products are a good thing.
Actually, what you have probably noticed is that while people like you think they are being cute in calling people names, it detracts from anyone taking you or your arguments seriously.
It’s not that people on the right “can’t take it,” but dealing with a child while trying to have an honest discussion is impossible and tiring.
We get tired of casting pearls before swine.
Child labor laws add costs to businesses, so is that a regulation we should eliminate? Catalytic converters add costs to an automobile yet we get much cleaner air.
These also had nothing to do with Barak Obama signing into to law his own laws which bypassed congress and have mostly been shot down by the Courts…..he is an embicille who continues to be popular because hes a sound byte president who hangs out with Jimmy Fallon and late night talk show hosts rather then being president.
The Democrats are in total melt down because they have been so busy coddling to the baby that cries the loudest……..Lesbians, gays, Queers, Illegal criminals, and the dozen black men who got shot in the last 5-6 years by cops that they forgot about the 99 percent of their base and 99 percent of America.
Making sure that Transgenders had bathrooms was way, way, way more important to the Democrats and Jeffery then was the millions of union workers laid off and given welfare by Obama……..
Communism at its finest…..destroy the country from within….well what happened was they destroyed the Democratic party from within…..
The people spoke…Democrats spoke…they did not turn out for HRC and in the key states of PA and WI and MI they turned out for Trump because they dont give a shit about transgender bathrooms or hollywood types making multimillion dollar deals….they care about their own jobs which the Democrats told them to shut up and take their medicine like good little socialists…..
Well they didnt shut up as OBAMA with the STROKE OF HIS PEN…..destroyed more and more of their jobs….see coal…..and they were supposed to like it.
Get a clue you agw whackos….if you want to sign executive orders how about making coal clearner with technology….not firing your own union base because of another PAC within your own party appears more important to the democrats then millions of workers losing or in danger of losing their jobs.
