Don't expect internal consistency from the guy who says media can't be trusted and is fake news, but immigrants are eating people's dogs and cats because someone said it on TV.

Kamala stole my ideas on the economy. She's a Marxist. She stole my ideas though.

How it started:

She has no plan. Look at her plan. She has no plan.

How it's going:

I have the concepts of a plan.

“She doesn’t even have the concept of a plan!”

Immediately after she gave details of her plan.

If she won the election, the day after that election, go back to destroying our country and oil will be dead. Fossil fuel will be dead. We'll go back to windmills and we'll go back to solar, where they need a whole desert to get some energy to come out. You ever see a solar plant? By the way, I'm a big fan of solar

What else will you do with a desert? Build cities that will dry up more lakes and rivers? Just cover the whole fucking desert in solar and power the country. The guy is so dense.

Even better, you can grow some Alfalfa to sell to Saudi Arabia!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

Even betterer, also grow some algae for biofuel

There's a lot more territory for solar if we just set it up all along our Interstate system. We could just let the desert be desert, with its fragile ecosystem intact. The land under the freeways is already fucked. Thinking ahead, we would need to design it to reroute the power if a big crash takes out some panels.

Idk maybe grow a crazy amount of alfalfa and sell it overseas? What? What do you mean the desert has water issues?

Edit: oh lol I should have read more replies

He just can’t stop tilting at windmills.
