I would like to say: I wish Hogshead were an endangered species to we could exempt him from endangered species protections. Unfortunately there is an abundant supply of twits like Hogshead.

I'd pay all my monies to see a whale take violent revenge on keg-breath.

Fuck that pathetic mother fucker.

All while China moves quickly away from fossil fuels to renewables, leaving the US in the dust. Is it actually Trump's agenda to move China into the largest economy in the world?

Apparently so. America has become a muscle-bound, schizophrenic idiot under Trump with only a handful of allies left and even they don't trust us

Unbelievable and outrageous! I hope Hegseth is reborn as an endangered whale and see what it's like. I value their life more than I value this worthless excuse for a human.

"Keep in mind that every last one of the marine mammals in this video is kinder and more empathetic than Pete Hegseth"

The whales are also better looking than the drunken rapist.

Everything MAGA does is to make the rich richer while degrading and destroying life on Earth. They seem to love doing both.

Those whales are all also sober, which is not something I can randomly credit Hegseth with being...

I missed this post because NO KINGS, but the timing couldn't be better, since an oil spill in the GULF OF MEXICO is currently despoiling at least seven nature reserves and destroying the livelihood of fishermen and women, just like the last time.

Warfighter up there can eat a heaping plateful of lightly-salted mutant shrimp.

Well, that is a pretty low bar. The same is true of rabid pit bulls.

"As with so many things in the Trump era, the Defense Department’s role in trying to let oil companies run rampant only came to light because of the lawsuit."

Actually, that's the way it's supposed to work. It's called the adversary system. Step zero of any legal action is when somebody realizes that s/he's being harmed by somebody else. Who's going to notice such a thing? The people closest to the action.

A lot of other people might be aware of what's going on, but if it isn't hurting them, they aren't going to do much. They shouldn't -- they're usually too separate from the controversy to know what's going on or how to be a good litigator.

To turn the right wings words against them, "If they were doing nothing wrong, they would have no reason to fear (the publicity of publicly announcing their decision)"

But they didn't.

Because, like the toddler who broke the lamp, they KNOW what they are doing is wrong.

Note to all current, former, and wanna-be legislators - if you stick in an exemption like "except in case of emergency" or "in case of war" or "except when required by national security" into any legislation; That's a loophole, and it WILL be exploited.

Write in more penalty clauses, too - especially for those mis-using the loophole(s). Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I want off of this ride, please.

Ta, Dok. It will remain the Gulf of Mexico. I so very much appreciate the newborn sperm whale footage! That it became a cetacean party gathering warms my heart.

The actual conservative justification for the destruction of whales and any other species, is that somewhere near the beginning of the big book of christian death, their "god," gave them "dominion" over everything on earth. That's why they're so contemptuous of efforts to save other life, they think they own it all, and that it's all theirs to plunder or murder as they desire. This translates very easily into the contempt for their own kind that we see them proudly display every day.

If you have "dominion" over something, it means you are responsible for it's safety and well being, not that you have the right to kill it willy nilly.

Zyxomma's avatar

"Dominion" over them is a mistranslation. What was called for in the babble was not dominion, but STEWARDSHIP, which is a very different kettle of fish (or pod of whales).

fair_n_hite_451's avatar

They are choosing to redefine the word dominion. Because that is the only way they can continue to wrap themselves in the lie that they are godly people.

Security only for the 1 percent, of obscenely wealthy, who have the means to escape the cascade of massive ecological destruction.
