I remember this.If there is one thing the GOP prides itself in, it's the way they relate to the working man. . . . . . .
Evidence has been gathering steadily overnight that Senator Ted Cruz of Texas — the state currently undergoing an unprecedented humanitarian crisis as a result of extreme winter weather, leaving millions of people without power, water, and access to food — flew to Cancun, Mexico, yesterday as his constituents faced freezing conditions, hundreds of thousands of them still without electricity.

41 years ago, Reagan scapegoated trees for being big polluters.View attachment 5185890
Georgia Republican Herschel Walker said the Biden administration’s sweeping new climate law represents unnecessary spending because it sets aside money to plant and protect trees.
“They try to fool you and make you think they are helping you out — they’re not. You know that some of this money is going into trees? We got enough trees — don’t we have enough trees around here?” Walker said Sunday in Georgia, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.
Essentially, no — the planet does not have enough trees to neutralize the impact of burning fossil fuels.
While a 2015 study found the earth has over 3 trillion trees, the number of trees here now is far less than at the beginning of human civilization — and not nearly enough to offset the devastating effects of climate change, scientists say.
The Inflation Reduction Act, passed by Congress without a single Republican vote, allocates $1.5 billion over a decade to the Forest Service’s Urban and Community Forestry Program, which funds tree-planting in cities like Atlanta that struggle with poor air quality. Especially in lower-income areas, scientists agree that trees are beneficial, helping to reduce air pollution and temperatures.
In 2020, former President Donald Trump signed an executive order joining the United States in the World Economic Forum’s Trillion Trees Initiative, which Trump described as “an ambitious effort to bring together government and the private sector to plant new trees in America and around the world.” Climate advocates opposed the order, however, on the grounds it didn’t do anything to mitigate the driving factor behind climate change — the consumption of fossil fuel — and encouraged logging.

i'm disgusted with the smithsonian for taking his filthy money, and for planning to hang a portrait of a piece of shit...
I doubt the Smithsonian has a say in the matter. I imagine the portraits have an undisturbed future gathering dust in the basement.
