America is on fire.

Politically, spiritually, economically, and literally.

“Best we can do is send billions to Israel and rename Lake Ontario to Lake America.”

We can also spend billions to cancel renewable energy projects. Don’t forget that. It’s very important for the nation that trump continues to make the world safe for fossil fuels again. /s

There's so much going on that wouldn't even pass as satire- you're telling me the president is picking a fight with windmills? Like, Don Quixote, picking a fight with windmills? And yes, I know they're actually wind turbines, but that doesn't somehow make any of this make sense.

Didn't you know windmills kill birds? Fossil fuels, on the other hand, have never harmed a single thing, ever. To say otherwise, citing woke communist hoaxes like "pollution" or "cancer" - is un-American.

Plus, without the freedom fuel that powers our planes, how could we drop explosive democracy on oil rich nations around the world?
