Should have called it Big Blue Coal. Because BBC is something Trump deserves.
another participation prize for the draft dodging shitbag
Watched Inglorious Basterds for the first time the other night
When is he starting to wear those nice, shiny medals like the North Korean generals are wearing?
Nobody managed to fill up both pants legs? Pathetic!
6 of those are for basket weaving
The pants ones are probably from DLC, that's why most don't have them.
Can't wait for the Food That Is Not Rice update
Oh he's going to manage to fill up both pant legs…
...and the Goose Step to march like the f'n Russians and Nazis.
What a pathetic fucking circlejerk.
Fascism is a parody of itself.
I'm just here so I don't get fired energy
Meanwhile China is positioning itself as a leader in the energy sectors of the future.
It's depressing to watch these displays, but even more depressing in the knowledge that our nation's power is (as usual) being squandered to make a demented old man feel like a big boy and for keeping a handful of billionaires marginally richer with money they'll never actually live to spend anyway.
Unfortunately one of the advantages of dictatures is that it move fast in one direction. The main problem being if the leader is intelligent enough to chose the right direction, which they rarely do.
On the other hand, democracies moves slowly, but the damages done by bad leaders are often counterbalanced by the good made by better leaders.
Donald "Mercury Poisoning" Trump.
Most the mercury in fish comes from fossil fuel burning and mining. Coal is both.
Clean coal makes as much sense as healthy disease
The gas lobbyist will turn it up a notch to destroy their energy competitor, coal. Did Krasnov do anything for the black lung victims? I thought not.
This guy has one hell of a trophy obsession.
They're all participation trophies, as he can't win anything of real value.
FIFA peace price of "at least you tried". Renewable energy price of "didn't understand the task, but cried when he didn't get a medal".
He's such a weird snowflake
He's the one kid at your birthday party who's upset they're not getting attention too.
And then starts to destroy your stuff because he never learned to cope with frustration.
Apparently the participation trophies are fine when they're the ones getting them.
This was such a comical read! It's like reading a joke made into a serious article:
President Donald Trump has added another shiny award to his cabinet of trophies that have just been invented
"I'm thrilled to welcome to the White House the men and women who light our cities, and you know, you do things that people don't even understand, so much, you do so much. You heat our homes, fuel our factories and turn natural resources into American riches and dreams. Our amazing coal miners.”
“I ended the war on coal,”
It is not the first time Trump has been the “inaugural recipient” of an award presented by those looking to curry his favor.
a bronze statue of a coal miner on the top and was engraved with “Undisputed Champion of Beautiful Clean Coal.”
Infantino also handed Trump “a beautiful medal for you that you can wear everywhere you want to go,”
Its just so fucking stupid on its face. How anyone thought calling it “clean coal” was anything besides dumb as fuck is beyond me.
Then you should visit Colstrip, Montana or similar coal towns. The propaganda works very well when it's taught from before birth and everyone goes along even if they don't agree!
See, I understand that. What I dont understand is why every other non-coal town trump supporter didn’t immediately understand that this was a stupid as fuck grift immediately after hearing it.
At this rate, he's a shoe-in for the Never Poopies in His Pants During Meetings Award of 5-Star Excellence.
He can put it on the mantle next to Melania's FIFA Oscar for Best performance by a whore in a documentary.
What a fucking child.
This is like giving him a participation medal, which is something he and his moronic followers are vehemently against.
This reminds me of how I just flew through India, saw pro-coal ads crediting Modi in the airport, and then walked out into all-winter smog that smells like burning hydrocarbons.
At this point I'm convinced they're inventing shiny stuff to keep the drooling senior happy until it's time to replace him.
Agree! It basically says so in the first sentence of the article!
President Donald Trump has added another shiny award to his cabinet of trophies that have just been invented
So he won a made-up award about a made-up technology. Sounds about right.
He'll also soon get an award from the foundation that promotes measles and meningitis.
Clean Coal is an oxymoron, like compassionate republican or good cop
Next week, the Tampax® Prize For Bigly Human Rights.
Not enough propaganda. They should call it 'Beautiful, Clean, Greenest of the Green, Climate Protecting, Bird Saving, Woke Antifa Tears Inducing, All-American, Beef Loving, Lungs Restoring Coal'.
... and then RFK mandates it in kids breakfast cereal. "Now fortified with kleen koal! Part of this complete breakfast".
Someone should offer to present him with "America's most talented child molester" award. At this point he'll probably be dumb enough to accept it, and brag about it
I read that as 'beautiful clean coat' and wondered why would he accept a trophy for a dog.
Then I remembered that he's a little bitch. TACO.
Last time I saw you, you looked so much older
Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
He should get a medal saying "cleverest and bestest person of the entire universe". Hold that thought. Wondering what the stupidest thing is, which people could bring him pride in accepting
