Basically this.

 

[Walter White Walker]

A known liar lies. People act surprised at that.

 

[old manatee]

Kanye could have told them what sucking up to Trump gets you.

 

[Foffy]

LOL

Falling for cons.

What fuckin' idiots.

 

[Commanche Raisin Toast]

I do have a small bit of sympathy for these people, especially after the Daily Show episode recently talking about coal country, but I really hope this slight against them is enough to push them away from Trump.

I realize there's probably a huge overlap between coal workers and the "will never not support Trump" demographic, but I think once their livelihoods are in jeopardy and betrayed deeply enough they'll reconsider.

 

[PlayALLtheGames]

Can we get Brietbart on this?

 

[le.phat]

Looks like the administration has found a way to manoeuvre around this Lame Duck of a president. Sucks for every single knobber who expected Trump to 'Restore the country to former glory'.

Ok let me give this a whirl

Trump Unable to Follow through on Coal Promises due to Globalist Elites Now In Control of the White House without Steve Bannon

Logic isn't their strong point

In Mexico we have a saying that roughly translates to: breed crows and they'll pluck your eyes out.

Fuck them for believing on Trump.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

No shit, you dumb fuck.

Mr. Nutterbutter will sleep soundly tonight.

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

You mean.....


.....Trump lied?!?

 

[uncredited male]

Overriding environmental regulations to help some coal barons. I am kind of surprised this was not green-lighted. I would not be surprised if it still is.

 

[fluffydelusions]

yup

 

[ScottSullivan]

lol I hadn't seen this one before

 

[Chumly]

Honestly it's not surprising that even the trump administration is blocking. Forcing all electricity suppliers to keep coal plants open is just stupid. That's about as anti free market as you can get

 

[BlueTsunami]

But he put on a hat!

 

[Vena]

It seems it was to go through Perry but either by his incompetence or strange competence, his department has largely shrugged off the Trump administration and continued forward on previous goals.

I have no idea what Perry is actually doing.

 

[Turbo Killer]

lol at the sea of morons behind him, I wonder if they are still drinking the kool aid? Who am I kidding they're going for a second helping.

This is why

Murray's company is seeking a two-year moratorium on closures of coal-fired power plants, which would be an unprecedented federal intervention in the nation's energy markets. The company said invoking the provision under the Power Act was "the only viable mechanism" to protect the reliability of the nation's power supply.

Forcing people to keep coal plants open would be an unprecedented intervention. Especially since this is just to keep a few coal mines open.

 

[neorej]

You made your bed. Now lie in it, don't expect sympathy.

 

[Vicetrailia]

a decision contrary to what one coal executive said the president personally promised him.

Ugh bro, it's Donald Trump. He stabs everyone in the back.

 

[Peccavi]

Mild shock

 

[Red]

Eat shit, Bob.

What?!

 

[jelly]

Reality smacks them in the face.

Go on, vote R again you idiots.

 

[Adnor]

Eat shit Bob.

 

[KingV]

I'm not going to criticize the administration for this particular decision. Actually, what they were asking for is such an unprecendented abuse of power, I'm sort of shocked that Trump didn't do it.

What the coal dude was asking for is essentially for the President to use emergency powers to let all coal power plants ignore all environmental regulations indefinitely.

Edit: and to effectively ban anyone from closing coal power plants... not exactly sure how that one would be enforced.

 

[Sesha]

Both parties will probably try find a way to blame Obama for this too, I'm sure.

Also, eat shit, Bob.

 

[Bsigg12]

Mexico has some FUCKED UP cows, man.

I grew up in West Virginia, and the coal miner has always been a rightly venerated profession. It's hard, dangerous work (and actually paid well). For some reason, lately that admiration has been switched to coal mine owners. I would much rather my taxes go towards government pensions for coal miners, than to keep the harmful coal industry viable.

cRows, but I read it the same way at first, too.

The people supposedly supporting them don't even want to cover the workers black lung though. This has been a farce from the get go, its never about the workers with the GOP. It's always about the CEO's, Owners and Executives pockets.

EAT SHIT BOB.

I'm expecting to see Murray's mug on Last Week Tonight in the coming weekend

They're on hiatus until September 10th. I'd also doubt it considering the ongoing lawsuit.
