Trump Hands Major Victory to the Oil and Gas Industry, But Will It Survive in Court?
From the Los Angeles Times:
Trump’s Fate: Unknown
2GreenEnergy supporter and public intellectual Stephen Lacey writes, This is the defining moment of our hyperpartisanship. If Trump can convince Americans that 100,000 deaths is a triumph (it’s very possible), I have absolutely no hope that the tribalist rot in our system can be healed. (more…)
