2025: The Year Big Oil's Investment In Trump Paid Off
Also the year Trump outlawed science, Project 2025 happened to the planet, and China became the climate's best hope.

Trump can’t change the fact that humans cause climate change, even if EPA won't admit it. He can’t change the facts that clean energy is more efficient and economical, or that clean energy development is booming.

With US light sweet crude trading at $57 a barrel, American oil companies don't have much reason to spend tens of billions on new wells in a country that's so politically unstable.
To say nothing of trying to do so in Venezuela.

When the LAPD arrests a dude at a gas station they don’t take over the gas station and use it to gas up all the cop cars tho
STEPHANOPOULOS: Why wasn't congressional authorization necessary?
RUBIO: It wasn't necessary because this was not an invasion. We didn't occupy a country. This was an arrest operation.

I know some people might say it's hypocritical of President "no more nation building" to depose Maduro and say he's going to run Venezuela, but he's no hypocrite. He's made it clear he wants to plunder its oil and other resources without regard for the people there. See? No nation building at all!

Someone needs to tell the sitting members of Congress that 🎶 this is how we do it 🎶
Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation.
I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.
