The GOP misses another opportunity to stop the bleeding US Senate is about to confirm a coal lobbyist as top EPA deputy
Andrew Wheeler served as an adviser to Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla., a high-profile critic of climate science who famously brought a snowball to the Senate floor as a prop. For the past nine years, Wheeler has been a lobbyist for a variety of companies, including Appalachian coal mining firm Murray Energy.

He's actually said he's not interested in running. But that never stopped anyone before.
He lies about a lot of everything else, so why not that, too? |

I don’t share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently. I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

TBH, the reason I heard is that his father died in his mid fifties. He's 48 right now I believe and I think he's cited not wanting to be 'weekend father' as his reasons for getting out now. Never liked the guy, but respect his decision and reason if he truly stays out of the race. |

That's factually untrue. They can go from place to place earning minimum wage. |

No wonder Sean is such a fan of Trump - great criminal minds think alike... And share crooked lawyers. As evidence is indicating. Not to be confused with Trump's references to Hillary, where evidence did NOT indicate. https://www.yahoo.com/news/shep-smith-calls-sean-hannity-212206211.html |

Monday's disclosure demonstrates just how tight-knit the pro-Trump media world is. Not only does Hannity advise Trump, not only does Trump promote Hannity's show, not only does Hannity attack Trump's critics -- Hannity and Trump even share the same lawyer.
"Pause for a moment to reflect upon what one Sean Hannity might do with news that an MSNBC personality had hidden a relationship with a Clinton attorney under criminal investigation." http://money.cnn.com/2018/04/16/media/sean-hannity-conflicts-of-interest/index.html |

Last night the news laid out the following story:
The FBI raided the President's Attorney's office at the behest of the US Attorney stemming from a Special Prosecutor investigation of Russian meddling in the US Election.
Attorneys for the President's Attorney as well as attorneys for the President enter the Courtroom to try to convince a Federal Judge to limit access to the materials confiscated.
The porn star allegedly paid off by the President and/or his attorney enters the Courtroom to witness the proceeding.
The Judge Orders a client list from the President's attorney, who reveals a short client list and tries to hold one back, and then reveals the name of the most prominent conservative news personality in the country.
The courtroom audibly gasps.
This isn't normal. Not even speculating on the significance of any of it, it's surreal. This would be a ridiculous plot line for West Wing, House of Cards, or some soap opera. This actually happened, in the United States of America - not some crazy third world dumpster fire we all get to laugh at. This is not normal.
