When I posted links to earlier posts about the recount, along with later news articles like the ones I quoted, to the Coffee Party USA Facebook page, several people wrote exactly that. So did Jack Lessenberry, a journalism professor at Wayne State University who also writes for the Toledo Blade and Michigan Radio.<br /><br />No, the EPA pick was announced after Gore's visit. I also won't forget to pay attention to Ivanka when I write about the administration's climate policy or lack thereof.<br /><br />"[H]e doesn't know Bannon is alt-right, which is mind-boggling" -- maybe he still doesn't know what alt-right really is, which is also mind-boggling.Pinku-Senseihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16247618351725715844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8752611264465083204.post-67103223837461491672016-12-08T22:27:20.205-05:002016-12-08T22:27:20.205-05:00I'll get around to Trump's "Legion of...I'll get around to Trump's "Legion of Doom" cabinet in a couple weeks when I'm done with the semester and have more time to write lengthy posts. Until then I'm going to write entries that don't require a lot of original writing from me.<br /><br />Speaking of which, tomorrow's post looks like it won't be any of the ones I suggested. Instead, it will be a video tribute to John Glenn. While I post a lot about politics and entertainment lately, this was originally a science, technology, and environment blog and one of the recurring topics has been space exploration and the fear that it might go away. Senator Glenn's death fits right into those themes.Pinku-Senseihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16247618351725715844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8752611264465083204.post-31895896991232439162016-12-08T15:30:30.040-05:002016-12-08T15:30:30.040-05:00The recount, or rather, the fact that it was abort...The recount, or rather, the fact that it was aborted (hey, finally an abortion Republicans support), will also serve a purpose in casting a further shadow over Trump's legitimacy. We'll never know for sure whether he legitimately won the state. The fact that the Republicans fought so hard to stop all the recounts suggests that they have something to hide. Now, at least in Michigan's case, we won't know.<br /><br />I maybe wrong, but wasn't Gore's meeting with Trump <i>after</i> the EPA pick, not before? Don't forget Ivanka, too. She's something of a climate advocate.<br /><br />The disconnect between Trump's post-election moderate statements and the collection of crazies he's putting in his cabinet makes me wonder if he's picking people on the advice of Republicans around him, without knowing much about the people. He's already suggested he doesn't know Bannon is alt-right, which is mind-boggling.Infidel753https://www.blogger.com/profile/10965786814334886696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8752611264465083204.post-8416833771562174622016-12-08T14:24:01.959-05:002016-12-08T14:24:01.959-05:00How can they say for sure that Stein only got 1% i...How can they say for sure that Stein only got 1% if they don't do the recount?<br /><br />Can't be Al Gore was too influential on Trump's climate change stance considering the EPA pick.
