Nonsense. You'll find a broader range of political opinions on the left than on the right.

Calling people "old codgers" and "harpies" is not just denigrating them. It's a personal attack that has nothing to do with their political positions. It's based on hate. You're demonstrating that it's YOU who is in lockstep with Trump and his cronies.

We made a big mistake when we took our priorities away from oil and gas.
You and Trump think so. The rest of the world thinks we need to get rid of oil and gas faster, not slower. Short-term pain for long-term survival.

As long as there's bullets in both of your guns.
