Old Man Yells at Windmills

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

President Trump was in Cincinnati, Ohio, on Thursday night for another campaign rally. It wasn’t much different from any of his others. The president bashed Democratic presidential candidates as socialists, trashed liberal-leaning cities as crime-ridden, and railed against undocumented immigrants. All standard fare. So too were his attacks against windmills, which have strangely become a semi-regular feature of the Trump’s speech set list.

“If a windmill is within two miles of your house, your house is practically worthless,” he said, unprompted, on Thursday. “They make noise, they’re intermittent, they kill your birds, they break down all the time, you have to replace them every 10 years because they wear out, they cost a fortune, and they need subsidy. Other than that they’re quite good.”

“You don’t want one of those windmills within vision,” he continued. “You hear them. They’re noisy. They have a lot of problems.”

Trump has railed against windmills and wind energy on several occasions since taking office. The grudge that is likely the result of the U.K. Supreme Court ruling in 2015 that the Trump Organization was unable to block the construction of a wind farm Trump argued would sully the views from his golf course in Aberdeen, Scotland. The Trump Organization was ordered to pay Scotland’s legal bills from the case, and the wind farm was erected in 2018.

Hair Twitler still engages the services of Russian prostitutes on a regular basis. One of them has too much carotene in her diet.

7. Local Township near me in Central Michigan has put up

lots of windmills. The local paper reported a significant increase in property values. Reported the farmers are getting between $600 to $800 per month in rent. 10 or 20 of those and they can stop growing beans.

10. We have windmills on our farm property.

We get paid. It helps, especially this year, with all the rain and crop damage.

[Wellstone ruled]

11. Well well Skippy,

guess those Membership Checks to the tune of a half Million from the Koch Brothers are clouding your judgement. Say what,you don't have a clear judgement!

We see and hear the Koch lobbyist messages 24/7 hear in the Southwest. It has taken the Citizens of Nevada two Referendums to beat back those messages. Now if we could get our Wind Farms built without their interference.

12. What amazes me

is the people who attend these shindigs allow themselves to be photographed.

13. Scotland is generating so much wind energy, it could power all of its homes -- twice over

Thanks to DU'er jpak

15. Not to mention the dreaded "Windmill Noise Cancer"!

Arghhhh! He is SUCH an asshole! I just hate him with a fiery passion. Look at him up there in front of his brain-dead worshippers. He thinks he is so cute and clever. He really thinks he is something when he's in front of them. They are ALL fucking idiots.

There is no bottom to my hatred for this man. Everything about him repulses me more than infestations of the filthiest vermin.

Then Donald will be closing his Scottish golf course, of course...

Of course everything he says is disturbing. But the sycophants who go along with the bullshit....now that's really disturbing.
