Tom Steyer Explains Why Climate Change Is His 'Number One Priority'

Billionaire Tom Steyer took a jab at former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) for failing to make climate change their number one legislative priority. He argued that he is the only one who has a record on this hot topic issue.

"I'm the only person on this stage who will say climate [change] is the number one priority for me. Vice President Biden won't say it. Sen. Warren won't say it. It's a state of emergency and I would declare a state of emergency on day one," Steyer said. "I would use the emergency powers of the presidency."

The billionaire touted his record fighting climate change, saying he has "spent a decade fighting oil and tech companies, stopping pipelines, stopping fossil fuel plants, ensuring clean energy across the country."

What a friggin' moron. Anyway, I hear ads on the radio from his son proclaiming how awesome his dad is and that his dad signed a pledge to give the majority of his money to organizations doing good blah, blah, blah. How big is this assclown's house? Started some climate saving group. Convinced 8 million folks to call for PDJT to be impeached, blah, blah, blah. Or is it bray, bray, bray. And, how did he NOT make the punchable face list?

Because instilling fear is the best proven way to get folks to give up their freedom.

It’s a goldmine. He can make huge money pushing this stuff and squeezing corporations to buy “carbon credits”.

He is awful and so are his TV ads. Every time I see the one where he says he started a lending company for women and “people of color”, I ask myself who are these women who live in a world of just women? Don’t any of them have fathers, husbands, sons, or brothers? Socialism divides people into groups competing for the spoils handed out by rich and privileged politicians.

Saw her called “Psychojawea” for the first time the other day, and LMBOed. I think I may like that one even better than Fauxcohontas or Princess Gray Beaver.

Bray, bray, bray for sure in the case of this j@ck@$$. This is a great scam to transfer money form the working poor and middle class to the wealthy.

That is why it is his Number One priority.

BINGO! This idiot took lessons from Algore and others.

They don’t give a gnats ass about the environment.

I prefer Lieawatha, but Psychojawea is pretty epic.

The only one of the legion (Obscure Biblical reference) of candidates running that makes any sense at all is Andrew Yang. And there is no way I’d vote for him. However, at least he doesn’t come across as mean, ignorant, a flaming queen or an out and out communist.

Thanks for the explanation Tom. Now you’ve given me even MORE reasons not to vote for any Democrat ( you included ).

MountainWalker has spent a decade fighting ghouls and goblins. You all would be screwed without my efforts. My gofundme page will be set up shortly.

My thoughts exactly! As though there are no other people who merit loans.
