In the Interest of Being Fair, Trump Has Done a Very Stupid thing

[Maggie Glover]

It's not about Elizabeth Warren or Stormy Daniels, its that he has endorsed and doubled-down on corn. Specifically, ETHANOL. There is less than zero non-political reasons to even consider ethanol a good fuel alternative. However, Iowa being the first caucus state, we are going to be swimming in ehtanol for many more years. Well I guess we are not giving billions to Iran or licking the UN's balls, so that is a good thing. Right? MG

Donald Trump Caves To The Ethanol Lobby
The president’s policy on ethanol will hurt consumers and the environment …

With an eye on his 2020 reelection bid, U.S. president Donald Trump held a rally in Iowa earlier this week where he announced that his administration was lifting a “ban” on expanded ethanol fuel blends.

Specifically, Trump is directing his Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to begin a rule-making process that would allow the sale of corn-based ethanol fuels to include “E15,” or gasoline that is comprised of 15 percent ethanol by volume.

The ethanol-blended fuels currently in use are mostly 10 percent ethanol by volume.

On the surface, this sounds great. Not only is Trump ostensibly relaxing an onerous government regulation, ethanol supporters insist lifting this limit will be good for consumers, farmers and the environment.

“Consumers will have more choices when they fill up at the pump, including environmentally friendly fuel with decreased emissions,” Trump’s secretary of agriculture Sonny Perdue said. “It is also an excellent way to use our high corn productivity and improved yields.”

As this news outlet has consistently noted, though, when it comes to ethanol … nothing is what it seems.

First of all, let’s address the patently ridiculous assertion that this gratuitous sop to early-voting Iowa somehow involves lifting a government mandate. It doesn’t. In fact it takes an existing mandate – the Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS) – and makes it worse.

The RFS – which dates back to the administration of former president George W. Bush – mandates that a certain percentage of transportation fuel sold in the United States be comprised of renewable sources (i.e. corn). continued....

I have nothing good to say about corn ethanol fuels.

I thought ‘the future’ was in hemp-based ethanol? If so, that sure seems to make more sense from what I recall.

its all part of his plan.

get on the damn train.

elizabeth warren is part of the plan. i guess being made to look like an idiot is part of it, too.

Farmelfare continues to be a thing. With his cash advance to big farma to offset their losses due to tarrifs, why is this surprising?

It's the long con and Q is on the job. Disregard the fact we have the largest deficit since 2012. It's repubelickins spending/printing it so it's okay this time.

There is a very real non-political reason. It has to do with the marginal cost of production being exponetial. When the rubber meets the road, a 10% reduction in demand for crude oil (gasoline) can result in a much greater than 10% drop in the commodity price of crude.

Besides, it's a vote-winning farm subsidy.

It ain't cheap to make America great. We'll worry about the credit card bill next month.

What am I missing on the Elizabeth Warren story other than the media would like it to be a story? Didn't it come back that she was between 1/64 and 1/1000 Indian or some such nonsense?

If the best chance scenario is that you are 1.5% Indian and you beat your chest about that and it somehow becomes a major news story, then we are screwed worse than I thought.

There will come a day when the only appropriate thing to do when the subject of Trump comes up will be to post a link to Shel Silverstein's The Winner, sung by Bobby Bare.

From the mouth of a big farmer here in the Midwest. Obama sold more guns, Trump has sold more grain bins. He cut 28,000 bushels of corn yesterday, one combine. His words was I hope he knows what he's doing concerning soybeans but he had no bad words about his corn harvest.

[2thDoc]

stripa's finding new ways to pretend to explain things in ways no one can understand....

and i guess the elizabeth warren thing is silly enough that she is saying "i told you so" and he's just dumb enough to respond with more name calling. Its silly and horribly unbecoming of a sitting president IN MY OPINION.

[Bigtimber2]

He just called Stormy "horseface" this will not go well. X

Yep.

But for some reason the chicks that are triggered will be a result of rule 24.

Actually it was 1/1024th, the average American born white person has double that amount. Oh, and her DNA was not compared to any American tribe, it was compared to natives of Mesoamerica, Mexico and Peru. There is no such thing as tribal DNA. You can read what anthropologist Kim Tallbear says about it in an interview at New Science.

Or better yet what Cherokee Nation Secretary of State Chuck Hoskin Jr says:

Well, looks like Ms. Daniels has fired back...

"Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present your president. In addition to his...umm...shortcomings, he has demonstrated his incompetence, hatred of women and lack of self control on Twitter AGAIN! And perhaps a penchant for bestiality. Game on, Tiny."

This is incredible.

[2thDoc]
