Climate Change Panel
For a couple of seconds after hearing about the formation of a Presidential Committee on Climate Security, I almost thought that Dotard Trump and the GOP were finally beginning to see the light. Stupid me!!! I should have realized immediately it was just a fig leaf.
Dotard has been fuming ever since his own Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats testified before Congress that climate change is a major security threat. He and his GOP enablers couldn’t handle that. So what better way to deal with it than create a separate body to look into it, give it an important sounding name and let them conclude that climate change isn’t a security risk.
So the guy in charge is someone who doesn’t believe in climate change. That’s like putting someone in charge of nuclear weapons security who doesn’t believe that nuclear weapons exist. And of course the Kochs and the oil and coal industry would gladly add members to the Committee. Heck, maybe they could even put Don Jr on it - he raves enough on Twitter about climate change.
The end result is that before the Committee can even be formed, everyone knows that its just another con from the Con-in-Chief. But the Trumpkins may well buy into it. Then we may soon have a Trump panel concluding that cigarettes or diet Coke is good for you. And after that hamburgers and KFC chicken. Anything to support things liked by the base.

Of course, we already had a bogus Dotard panel on voter fraud and plenty of bogus national security reports to justify tariffs. Maybe we can soon look forward to a bogus panel on gun violence, chaired by the NRA loon Wayne LaPierre. After all, at the end of the day, we have a Bogus President in the White House.
