I would fuck a platoon of Ebola infected Aids victims if it secured your eternal departure from America and your disgusting Islamic name was never uttered again by the lips of an American nor the ridiculously hideous visage seen by American eyes.

Fuck you, Fuck off and take the fucking criminal Clintons with you.

I came to post this. While arfcom giggles about it impending repeal. Most of America isn't Arfcom, this is just ammo to be used against Trump later.

I think I love you(no homo)..........

How about we kick their asses out of the Arctic if they come anywhere near it. They have no adjacent lands to the region and certainly no title to any resources therein. Maybe they could trade their Gold Coast including Hong Kong and Shanghai to the Russians for an island above Siberia.

All so he can stick some shit on a plaque in his Presidential library.  Next admin can toss it all in the trash.

we already mine coal and have one huge coal fired plant I helped build almost 20 years ago, they might fire it up soon

we have enough coal to heat & power America for hundreds of years here

Do we need a "Rant" thread?

They are quite popular now.

Hopefully on day one, Trump erases all of Obama's EOs. Probably won't happen so maybe within the first 100 days

Fuck You Obama You Fucking suck you piece of fucking shit

this one might not be so easy, from what I am reading, the law that lets him designate an area as off limits does not have provisions to undo the designation.

Not that it matters so much, with tight oil doing well, those offshore basins will not be economical for a long time.

That is exactly the plan.

fucker has the worst bucket list ever

I wish someone would just file articles of impeachment. What an asshole.

It's not financially feasible to do any drilling there at this point. At least that's what the experts are saying.

They're following ARF tradition and opting to get both https://www.aspistrategist.org.au/considering-chinas-strategic-interests-in-antarctica/

"Haibing 722 is the first of a new class of ice breakers developed as part of China’s strategy to pursue its polar interests. Alongside China’s ice breaking research vessel Xuelong ?? (Snow Dragon), the Chinese government is currently building a second vessel to be used in the Antarctic. China is playing catch up in the polar regions and its capabilities are rapidly increasing.

It’s thought that China’s growing interest in the Antarctic could be partly associated with the possibility of a Protocol review which could ease restrictions on mining.

China’s aspirations on the cold continent have been growing steadily since it first joined the Antarctic Treaty in 1983, and it has long been suspected that Beijing is interested in the untapped resources the continent offers. Antarctica is speculated to be home to oil, natural gas, coal, iron ore, manganese and hydrocarbon, as well as 90% of the earth’s fresh water resources, and possibly diamond reserves. It’s also home to fisheries, which include Antarctic Krill and the sought-after Patagonian Toothfish. Despite the challenges of mining in the world’s most inhospitable environment, technological advances over the next 30 years could make mineral resource extraction in the Antarctic a reality.

China has developed a presence in the Antarctic through the establishment of four research stations, three of which are located in the Australian Antarctic Territory (AAT). China has already bestowed Chinese names on 359 sites on Antarctica. Notably, China’s Kunlun (???) research station, which opened in Australian territory in 2009, is located 7.4 kilometres from Dome Argus (Dome A), close to the centre of the continent—a demonstration of China’s commitment to Antarctica. Meanwhile, budget constraints placed on the Australian Antarctic Division have meant that Australia doesn’t possess the resources or equipment to develop a research base in this area. Moreover, China’s newest base, the Taishan (???), which opened in 2014, is also located in the AAT. The Chinese government has recently announced plans to build a fifth research base in in the near future located in the Ross Sea region, which is speculated to be home to oil and gas deposits.

Chinese President Xi Jinping’s 2014 visit to Hobart can also be seen an indication of China’s growing interest in the Antarctic. Yang Huigen, a member of Xi’s visiting delegation and the director general of the Polar Research Institute of China, stated that Chinese research ‘is natural-science based’, but acknowledged growing ‘concern about resource security’. Shortly after the visit, the Polar Research Institute opened a new division within the organisation dedicated to the study of geopolitics, law, governance and resources in the Antarctic.

According to Antarctic specialist Anne-Marie Brady, ‘China’s rapid Antarctic…expansion reflects Beijing’s desire to become a maritime, and polar, great power’. Brady also argues that the establishment of China’s firth research base ‘will consolidate China’s Antarctic interests and help make china a leading contender in polar affairs."

They could explore and find the oil now, and produce later. 

That article makes no fucking sense.

This exactly. Screw as much stuff as possible going out the door, then give $600k speeches crucifying Trump for undoing it.

If the president has the power to ban something, he also has the power to allow it

They didn't get the memo that we don't play the double standard game anymore, I don't give a hoot if it says if he has the power to undo it or not, we play cut throat rules now, we undo it and declare that it doesn't explicitly say we can't undo it and then stack the SCOTUS and tell the left to try it.

Obama's problem is he is an abysmal leader and was incapable of developing coalitions in Congress, so his executive orders are all he has. And when executive orders are used in place of laws, they are easy to deconstruct. Obama's legacy is just a cloud of vapor that can and will be blown away.

That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange aeons even death may die.

The more shit obummer pulls now just means Trump will have more reason to destroy his (non) legacy. Trump will rip it to shreds.

LAME MOTHERFUCKING DUCK !

all of them <GaryOldman.gif>

One day obama advises Trump not to rely on executive orders and then makes two more executive orders....do as I say, not as I do...typical dictator. All he needs is mirrored sunglasses and a military hat.

yup

make it so he is erased from history.

Hijack, I know.  Has Trump commented on his position regarding the Keystone Pipeline?  

Maybe, just maybe, a President will actually do something(some things) to reduce our dependency on foreign enemies.

I think he's doing it to fuck with the Russians who are already bringing a floating nuclear power station to the arctic, they're building bases up there and they have a big head start on everyone else. 

.....desperate for a legacy.

And additional damage done to our country.


The pardon list is going to be interesting

Maybe your common sense will rub off on that Raven guy a little bit.

I remember a few years back, China offered to buy all of the coal in Alaska and they would ship their employees over from China and they would mine it.

I hope Trump will ban FBHO.  And the wookie, too.

I bet that Putin will also give to the Obama Foundation.

Drill baby drill!

First post on page two.  That guy gets it.

And they will. This was just a gesture that is essentially meaningless. Most people don't realize that though.

I'm pretty sure that the progressives are in for a shock on this one.

If he negates that while gutting the DoE, keelhauling the IRS for their illegal suppression of the Tea Party, having the FBI announce charges against BHO, and HRC, prosecuting Pizzagate, etc, etc, etc, the poor bamboozled MSM won't know what to report on.  This will just be one more raindrop in the hurricane.

are you using sneakiness?  because this is how you use sneakiness.

Drilling , exploration and extraction (including fraction) for the US will send the rest of the oil market into  chaos.  the rest of he world will fall into a chaotic downfall without oil money.

If we are financially energy dependent then the rest of the world becomes poor overnight,,,,,,,,,,boofuckinghoo for them


Trump will be on Mount Rushmore .

I'd imagine he has the Transition Team writing the cancellation orders at a fast pace so they'll be all ready for the Autopen immediately after the inaugural parade.

You're not surprised by this, are you?

It's like he's going out of his way to make his legacy look as stupid and ineffectual as a porn star's step dad.

Well it is NPR, so..............

If this is so important, why did he wait 8 years to do it?

Heard Rush talking about this, turns out there has been no drilling planned in the areas Obama banned so no current drilling operations will be affected. Actually the areas in his EO aren't very promising for production anyway. Big bunch of fluff for the tree huggers is what it amounts to.
