Trump’s EPA pick blends conservative Christianity with anti-environmental activism: Unlike Christians who believe in ‘creation care,’ Scott Pruitt’s record suggests he believes that God would never allow climate change to happen.

Interesting note is that Scott Pruitt has sued the EPA 8 times in the past. And Trump just announced $800 billion in cuts at the EPA aimed at removing regulations on coal, oil, and gas emissions. He also wants to gut funds that go towards wildlife and environmental protections.

And he's banned all current employees of the EPA from using any forms of social media to discuss the matter.

I'm thinking scorched earth once Trump and his boy's are through with things.

Someone should tell Trump that sustainable energy has the potential to create more jobs (and longer lasting ones) than "clean coal".

But he had a vocal and sensible understanding of Islam that Republicans could have used to justify themselves. You guys got any more of these?

Protecting coal workers' jobs was a massive part of his campaign.

Ja ja ja I know I'm a terrible person it's been said over and over. Also you owe me a new irony meter for breaking it after not meaningfully contributing to this discussion with that post.

Porque no los dos?

I'll ask again. How do you know that, as you said, "Obama had nothing to do with Islam" You made the claim. I'm just asking how do you know.

Thanks for the replies guys. I guess it did happen, but nothing was shown on the news here. Maybe it's because there was a more "it's a good thing" sort of vibe being pushed by the media than there is with Trump, where really I suppose they can see no real "good thing" to push. I guess all the hatred and racism and protests got lost (at least, over here) amid the general euphoria that a black man had finally made it to the highest position in the country, and not just to deliver pizzas.

We certainly got a different viewpoint over this side, which is why I asked the question, though it does make sense that there would have been those protests. I just wondered why we had never heard of them being mentioned in the mainstream news media.

It's because it was done on a much smaller scale.

Obama is not mentioned in the Quran even once.
