The decision could have far-reaching consequences — including for oil companies, which may be exposed to a flood of new litigation.

    I don’t think they elected Trump because they have a death wish. I think they elected Trump because they’re angry morons.

    You say it “doesn’t take a genius to know what Trump was gonna do,” and I’d agree. But two things:

    1. Most Americans don’t even rise to “not a genius” level. They’re fucking morons, and they really are too stupid to figure it out.
    2. Even the ones who manage to be unstupid enough to figure out what Trump was going to do are mostly still too fucking stupid and angry to figure out the consequences. So, for instance even if they grasp that Trump promised he was going to destroy environmental regulation and now is doing it, they’re too fucking stupid and angry to get why that’s a bad thing. To them, it’s just that “Them damned byoorocrats is all full a demselves n it’s 'bout time summun shut 'em a fuck up! 'N damn - it shor ’ iz hot today innit? Sumuddy oughta do sumpin bout that!”
