I think since he goes on about not our kind of energy he is probably referring to coal or maybe shale oil.
Yeah, Biden has a green energy plan, carbon-free workplaces by 2030 stuff like that. So Trump has been travelling to the oil states telling them the radical left are shutting down oil, getting rid of fracking etc. etc.
Trump seems completely unaware of (or ignores) the growth of renewable energy in the US.
The depth of trump's ignorance grows continuously.
Biden: actually a practicing christian
Trump: only goes to church if he's allowed to tear gas it first
Northwind - trump would also go to church to screw the pastor/pastorette but only if they were a 10.
His latest press conference/campaign rally at his own golf club yesterday 🙄
What's he on about with these executive orders? My understanding is they can't involve spending (i.e. he has no budget, has to go through congress).
‘continues to press for maximisation of the worst fossil fuels’
The Trumpclown is a sideshow for the most dangerous administration. Trump 2020 is also the worst possible scenario for the UK. My tinfoil hat says that it’s all a done deal and can’t go any other way.
Trump responds well to be called out as a liar/maker of false statements in a press conference
"You said that you passed Veterans Choice. It was passed in 2014...it was a false statement, sir."

With any luck he’ll start packing to leave the White House from the 3rd November!
I kind of knew all this but reading it again is pretty shocking - https://edition.cnn.com/2020/06/29/politics/trump-phone-calls-national-security-concerns/index.html
The extent of his sucking up to Putin and Erdogan is really quite revolting.
"Why do you keep saying that you passed Veterans Choice?" CBS News White House correspondent Paula Reid asked Trump at the Saturday news conference, during which Trump announced executive actions on coronavirus relief.
As Trump tried to call on another reporter instead, Reid continued, "You said that you passed Veterans Choice. It was passed in 2014...it was a false statement, sir."
Trump paused, then responded: "OK. Thank you very much, everybody." He then walked away as the song "YMCA" played.
😂 Love that YMCA blared out at the end.
The whole 'press conference' was cringeworthy. A coronavirus update with an audience of jeering and laughing Trump golf club members (membership fee around $300k)? When Trump was making a point of the stress that lockdown put on marriages they all laughed? FFS.
Does anyone have a hammer, chisel and a bit of scaffolding and live near Mount rushmore!!!
Trump's just been evacuated from his press briefing by the secret service. No info yet what's going on...

^^He needs a dump/ Twitter break?
Shooting outside the White House according to the livestream on the David Pakman Show.
Trump is back in now answering questions...
He mend world war 1, he made that claim earlier this year already
'We, the US Government, have got nothing more pressing to look into at the moment, so lets run with this.'
US calls for shower rules to be eased after Trump hair complaints
such a bad hair day....
"So showerheads - you take a shower, the water doesn't come out. You want to wash your hands, the water doesn't come out. So what do you do? You just stand there longer or you take a shower longer? Because my hair - I don't know about you, but it has to be perfect. Perfect," he said.
What an absolute throbber
Awesome trolling on BBC news by using that photo with the caption Mr Trump said good hair has to be “perfect”
When it comes to "utterly amazingly ball achingly daft things to see at the top of the news in 2020" I thought I had seen it all. But the US president taking time out of an international crisis and 166,000 deaths and counting to take care of the national emergency that is the pressure of water a shower head is allowed to pass through might take not just the biscuit but the whole branch of Greggs.
Well, targeted ads about power efficient kettles (save our cuppa) proved useful over here in 2016, when people were supposed to be choosing how we do or don't cooperate with the countries that surround us... so this "green rubbish" style irrelevance works... Trump and Brexit in 2016 were just the proving ground for how this works... why would they not use it now, just because thousands of lives are being lost? Sensible politics isn't coming back while this new politics looks to be working (for those using it).
Words are failing me.
Did we, as in UK, actually have, "if you like wasting electric, then vote Brexit, because Johnny Foreigner won't let us" used as a thing during the Leave EU campaign? I only ask as that particular flavour of turd passed me by unnoticed.
And now
"If you like wasting power on throwing excess hot water at yourself, then vote Trump, because " (I dunno) " those commie Democrats won't let you."
??

I seem to remember something about the nasty EU making us use energy efficient lightbulbs.
It was all about powerful vacuum cleaners. The EU make us use such weedy Hoover's that we can't possibly get our carpets clean.

Yes, but you’ve gotten it subtly wrong. It goes like this:
‘Commies took muh freedom away. I want unlimited power and endless clean water. I want it all and more. **** off commies. Now I’m back in control’
There is zero consideration of (in the words of the late Bill Hicks):
let's figure out this food/air deal okay?
We are talking about a cynical and spoiled ‘kidult’ culture (of which we all are part to some degree) who already waste untold amounts of fresh drinking water down the toilet, yet (rarely if ever) not for one second realise that or even think of it.

An unsustainable standard of life, both in current economic terms and very near future (actually current) environmental terms?
Then cynical populist shits using any 'threat' to said unsustainable living as something that must be resisted because of birthright or skin colour or whatever?
Then identify a convenient scapegoat?
Think we've just explained Brexit and Trump.
You said 'kidult', I like that, but good old fashioned 'spoilt brat' will suffice too.
Bratulthood is the new ‘grown-up’.
Bratulence is the new ‘speaking’.
When you've finally had enough of his bullshit

He's making up racist shit again and can't even get that right.
I just heard it today that she (Kamala) doesn't meet the requirements (to be a vice president) and by the way the lawyer that wrote that piece is a very highly qualified, very talented lawyer. I have no idea if that's right. I would have assumed the Democrats would have checked that out before she gets chosen to run for vice-president. But that's a very serious, you're saying that, they're saying that she doesn't qualify because she wasn't born in this country."
There's no doubt about where she was born, definitely the States, just some racist bull that her parents may not have been citizens at the time which is irrelevant. The so called 'very highly qualified, very talented lawyer' was actually beaten to the role of California Attorney General in 2010 (actually she didn't beat him, she beat the Republican candidate who beat him).
Just, Just, words fail me.
There's a phone-in interview he did this week on Fox where he went on a rant about AOC's Green New Deal. I still haven't worked out what his obsession with windows is.
“It’s so ridiculous, but they’re talking about no fossil fuels, which means basically no energy, and have to close down half of the businesses of the country. If you have to rebuild cities because too much light gets through the windows, so let’s make the windows nice and small, let’s rip down the Empire State Building and replace it with no windows”
He also then said AOC was from a poor school, so was basically poorly educated.
https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1293914113266126848
I'm actually amazed it took him so long to spout that nonsense after she was confirmed to run as VP. He really is just a racist piece of garbage who may have set the US back about 50 years with his call to arms of every redneck knuckle dragger who now thinks it's OK to let their own racist feelings fly
I can't keep up with these 'tell-all' books. Cohen is writing this one from prison. Has some, err, interesting claims.

I would swear there was a Daily Mash article for this but can't find it, have they been censored??!?1

corrected your typo
Joe Biden ... nahh ...👎
I assume the last poster thinks the Donald is doing okay, then...
He needs to stick it on the US election thread then, with some reasoned argument to support his case.

Are you surprised? Considering Trump's road to the presidency started with the exact same racist conspiracy theory against Obama.

OK so, allegedly, this whole thing started because James Dyson was pissed off at the EU because he'd lobbied for a power rating system that would give his vacuum design a competitive advantage, and they didn't go for it. Toys went out the pram, europhile Dyson becomes rabid brexiteer.
I'm sure chewkw is an algorithm of random lunacy planted by the forum mods for when a thread needs a bump.
Unreported World on Channel 4 tonight - Trumps Housewives - is a truly terrifying insight into the middle class women who support him. It’s like they’ve all been beamed down from planet 1950.
They despise feminists and the first interview is with a woman organising a ‘straight pride’ festival to protest against gay rights.
It was recorded before George Floyd but we can take it as read that ‘All Lives Matter’
I seem to remember something about the nasty EU making us use energy efficient lightbulbs.
C’mon, be fair, those low energy bulbs were spectacularly awful! They were dim, took ages to get to full dimness, flickered horribly, and couldn’t be disposed of properly because of mercury vapour.
My mum put them into every light in the house. They’ve all been replaced with LED lights now, including the kitchen overhead tube. Much, much better, and no excuse for using incandescent.

He was right on the power ratings giving his designs a disadvantage. However the German government and MEP's lobbied on behalf of German industry and the UK didn't turn up, if the UK government had done it's job and we didn't send such useless ****ers to European parliament the result would probably have been different.
I say that as a europhile, but it's important not to misrepresent the facts and faults in the system we support or we become as bad as Trump and BoJo.
