We stopped trucking, we stopped port operations, and we stopped any thoughts about letting petroleum even exist in the future. We stopped it all. But it’s not our fault. Did I say Trump, Trump, Trump?”
AND they plan on locking Trump up.
Excellent Gaffer.

An “instrument” that will allow the U.S. to rejoin the Paris Agreement on climate change within 30 days.
