Military action in Iran.
Negative interest rates.
Climbing oil and gasoline prices.
Electoral math.
President Trump only loses if he increases taxes and admits it, ala George Bush.
Sure tariffs are taxes, but shhh don't tell anyone.
Who woulda’ thought that Donnie LittleStick would ever bungle the country into an impending global disaster?
I guess that’s what can happen when you’ve got nothing — no credibility, no alliances, no diplomacy, no clue, no moral bent, no skills, no plan, no genius — nothing, but a mirror and bluster . . .

The kind of pollution The Yam & Co. care about. It's not the smog, it's the homeless people:;https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/462103-trump-says-epa-will-cite-san-francisco-for-pollution-stemming-from
The birds are dying, the planet is likely warming even faster than previously predicted, and our government is leaning in to its destructive policies.
Until we can fire Trump and get an environmentally active House and Senate (and even after!), we need to keep up pressure on our local and state legislators. Don't buy the fossil fuel dinosaurs' bullshit. Tell your representatives to implement state and local restrictions on herbicides and pesticides. Participate in tomorrow's Climate Strike (or other similar events). Aggressively conserve Colorado open space. Don't subsidize extreme Colorado growth rates.
It is arrogance to assume that people are somehow independent of their environment. Our legacy will either be a poisoned, blighted husk or a sustainable, renewable planet. But if we do nothing, we get the husk.
On an optimistic note tonight — Colt's management has a conscience
Of course, Dudley Brown and his ilk will just puff out their lower lip, sniffle a few times and then whimper that other gun manufacturers will just fill the void.
Their profits are worth more than your lives, naturally.
Before you give Colt too much credit, consider that there are already millions of AR -15s already on shelves and sales seem to have suddenly dried up. If demand plummets, the individual prices will also because there is a huge inventory of unsold guns.
This action can be seen as little more than price support…they can resume as easily as they stop.
