4. How ,bout stinging nettles

[ProudLib72]

14. Russian thistle

What a perfect plant analogy. Invasive, hard to completely get rid of. They have a pretty, purple flower that draws you in, but touch the plant and you get zapped.

And toadstools, though they technically aren't plants.

7. His usual claque, I suppose.

The same folks who clap at everything he does, like his disgusting speech at the CIA and his disgusting behavior on Memorial Day. It wouldn't surprise me if they were paid.

"I am working for the citizens of Pittsburgh not paris"

[geek tragedy]

12. the pollution lobby nt

[Vinca]

15. Apparently people who hate their children, their grandchildren and the planet.

Maybe the audience is filled with Chinese business people since they'll reap the fruit of the U.S. withdrawal. We'll be mining fucking carts of coal and China will be churning out solar panels.

Why doesn't he just SHUT THE FOCK UP

[Horse with no Name]

17. His traveling Sycophant Circus. n/t

Already-rich people will be able to "compete" again. Guess you have to do that even when you're King Fecus on top of Shit Mountain.
