Trump is propping up the fossil fuel industry to please Saudi Arabia.

***According to Trump.***
Trump: "I don't think Saudi Arabia would like me too much if we decided to kill oil and natural gas. There's nothing like it. It works. Windmills don't work. Other things -- I don't want to get it into too much -- but they don't work. What does work is natural gas, oil, nuclear, and other things."

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

As a reminder:

Trump could order the release the Epstein files today, without legislative approval.

This is theater.

Trump and the majority of Republicans are posturing as supportive of transparency while an altered and incomplete version of the files is almost certainly being prepared.
Epstein’s brother Mark tells Chris Cuomo that the reason the Trump administration is finally releasing the Epstein files is because they’ve been “sanitized.”
Quoting “a pretty good source,” he says “they’re scrubbing the files to take Republican names out.”
“Jeffrey definitely had dirt on Trump.“

The late, great Mance Lipscomb, left, and the equally great Lightnin' Hopkins as seen in the 1968 documentary "The Blues According to Lightnin' Hopkins," directed by Les Blank. It's a short (33 minutes) documentary but it really takes you in Lightnin's world 57 years ago. Highly recommended.
