Trump’s rant during his big environmental speech about how “cleaning” forests is the solution to wildfires and about how nobody had heard of “forest management” before he started talking about it is like an Idiocracy outtake pic.twitter.com/zE9FUMucmh

Trump begins his speech on his "environmental leadership" by talking about the "incredible, big, beautiful crowds" that attended his July 4 event despite "heavy" rain.

While this was happening, there was 3-4 inches of rain in one hour in D.C. yesterday:
Trump is scheduled to celebrate his administration's environmental successes this afternoon, hours after a storm and flooding that mirror what scientists say a warming climate will bring to D.C. https://t.co/Rnz1eI1fyK

This is Washington, D.C. this morning. Flash flooding occurred in the entire DC, MD and VA areas. I had to pull off the highway to get safety. Climate change is not a myth. pic.twitter.com/qbLjdE549s

.@JayInslee on Trump's environmental speech today: "It's fitting that President Trump is promoting his awful environmental record on the same day that the White House is flooding after a historic storm. If this weren't real life, it would be a headline in The Onion."

The first time Trump said that he was going to bring back the coal industry and re-employ laid off coal miners, you knew that he was going to be a climate denier like his pal Senator Inhofe from Oklahoma.
Follow the money.
You know, my dad worked for the US Forest Service in Northern California for thirty years, and he’s not around any more to call bullshit on this ridiculous forest management lie, and this pisses me off just enough that I should shut up before I say something that gets me a visit from the Secret Service…
