Called Project 2025, it would block the expansion of the electrical grid for wind and solar energy; slash funding for the Environmental Protection Agency’s environmental justice office; shutter the Energy Department’s renewable energy offices; prevent states from adopting California’s car pollution standards; and delegate more regulation of polluting industries to Republican state officials.

    Why anyone would vote for these Republican clowns is beyond my understanding.

    Most surprisingly, evangelicals, who are devinely commanded to be good stewards and protectors of creation, seem to completely ignore environmental protection. Extremely unchristian.

      The evangelicals seem to be trying to accelerate their end times, which also brings rationalization that present day and future climate conditions are irrelevant because they’ll be swept up into the sweet, sweet air conditioned confines of their heavenly city while they laugh at the libtards left behind burning up in the aftermath.

      Conservatives have been programmed to believe that everything the other side says is a lie (it’s not) and that they are good people (they are not). They believe in their assumptions rather than facts. They put more faith in heavily edited books from 2000 years ago than modern science.

        Correction, they put their faith in what people tell them those books say. They don’t actually read or comprehend the books.

      For the low low price of a little mea culpa on Sunday you too can be a raging pustule the rest of the week too…

      Yes, but if the apocalypse happens, they get Jesus back and the joy of watching all of us sinners burn in a lake of fire.

        Pretty much by definition with Christianity, if you’d enjoy seeing others in the lake of fire, you’ll be right beside them.

        It’s weird so many “Christians” don’t have any interest in actually being Christian

        The Bible said Jesus was coming back “within their [the disciples’] lifetimes”. We’re about 2,000 (+/-50) years late for that.
