Yeah right! He's doing a good job!!

https://www.engadget.com/2018/04/02/epa-roll-back-obama-auto-efficiency-guidelines/

Under the Obama administration, the EPA instituted a set of goals for automakers aimed at improving vehicle efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The terms state that companies have until 2025 to get their fuel efficiencies up to a fleet average of 51.4 miles per gallon. But automakers have been asking Donald Trump to change those regulations ever since he took office and now it looks like the EPA will attempt to relax those standards.

Sounds like Pruitt's EPA have just slashed the vehicle fuel economy requirements put in place by the last administration. So the US will need more oil going forward, who hasn't been invaded recently?

Canada, def Canada.
Ya, we have a lot, but it is mostly that dirty tar-sands stuff, you don't want that.
I'm thinking either Venezuela or Iran.
I would go Venezuela for a few reasons.
1 - Not near Israel and no worry about mushroom shaped clouds.
2. Closer and they have even more huile than us.
3. Maduro is blaming everything on the US, so maybe make his dreams come true?

We only systematically invade and wipe out middle eastern countries. Although the oil may be easier to get from the V, it supports the military industrial complex much more to go halfway around the globe and have to blow up a bunch of shit in the process. It also helps spawn the next generation of terrorists and hostile people to the US, so it's the gift that keeps giving.

Holy shit....

Forget Russia for a minute. The feds don't even need that to nail Cohen to the wall, or The President*.

Campaign finance violations (Paying off Stormy qualifies) if Cohen claims attorney/client and probably charges for all the shady ways they tried to cover it up. Federal and state. If he claims Trump wasn't involved, then privileges don't apply and now they can open to scrutiny by the Feds. AND Adultery is a crime in the state of NY. The state could prosecute Trump for an unpardonable crime and probably violates a pre-nup with his mail order bride.

I bet we are bombing Syria by tomorrow afternoon.
