Trump cancels reported bill signing in Ohio

Source: The Hill

President Trump will not be in Ohio this week, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reported Monday.

Though the White House had never officially announced the trip, the administration had issued an advisory last week suggesting Trump would make a visit to Vienna, Ohio, according to the newspaper.

The Youngstown Vindicator reported over the weekend that Trump was planning to sign a bill overturning an Obama administration regulation known as the “Stream Protection Rule,” which sought to prevent coal companies from depositing waste into streams.

The Vindicator also reported on Monday that the trip would not happen, citing a spokesman for the 910th Airlift Wing of the Youngstown Air Reserve Station. The spokesman told the paper that the unit was not given a reason for the cancellation.

I do believe with his newly found notoriety he will be spending his time 50/50 either bloviating to a friendly camera or tweeting from the nearest curtains. Perhaps the administration, what little there is, has found out what a sad weird little no-account he truly is.

sad.

At least not many.

Republicans always appear here at the Youngstown Warren Regional Airport, a Nat Guard Air Wing base. There's no parking along the two lane country road where the entrance is, and people have to pass through a security checkpoint to access the hanger where he'd speak. No walk ins and no drive ins without a base pass. The closest parking is a couple miles away on the other side of the airport.

It would be a ticketed event where people would be bused in through the gates. Usually about 200 tickets distributed by the local Republican party.

Here's my post from yesterday when the event was still pending:

Maybe someone figured that out, but I suspect he has some presidentin' to do, at least he should.

Republicans like to speak here near Youngstown in the Rust Belt because the air base restricts all but the invited. There's no where for visible protest and no parking near the entrance.

so I guess they want a rerun of the inferno. Trump style.



The Burning River That Sparked a Revolution

It was the disaster that ignited an environmental revolution. On this day, June 22, in 1969, the Cuyahoga River burst into flames in Cleveland when sparks from a passing train set fire to oil-soaked debris floating on the water’s surface.
When TIME published dramatic photos of the burning river — so saturated with sewage and industrial waste that it “oozes rather than flows,” per the story — concern erupted nationwide. The flaming Cuyahoga became a figurehead for America’s mounting environmental issues and sparked wide-ranging reforms, including the passage of the Clean Water Act and the creation of federal and state environmental protection agencies.
But the episode itself did not quite live up to its billing. It was not the first fire, or even the worst, on the Cuyahoga, which had lit up at least a dozen other times before, according to the Washington Post. Flare-ups on the river were so common that this particular fire, which was extinguished in half an hour and did relatively little damage, barely made headlines in the local papers.
And industrial dumping was already improving by the time of the 1969 blaze. As the Post points out, “The reality is that the 1969 Cuyahoga fire was not a symbol of how bad conditions on the nation’s rivers could become, but how bad they had once been. The 1969 fire was not the first time an industrial river in the United States had caught on fire, but the last.”

Easy to do too.

West Palm Beach has an International friggin airport right smack in the middle of town - they just built around it and now it's too late to move it. Plus, there's environmental concerns - there are sensitive protected wetland about anywhere they could move it to. Pretty crazy for a town of that size.

There never are at the Youngstown Regional Airport. It's a Nat Guard Air Base and only invitees are allowed in. The local Republican party buses them in. No protesting at the gate and no parking in the area.

He chose here for the optics of 200 idiots chanting "USA" in a hanger.

Not about Trump cancelling a trip where he's going to make a yooge show out of signing his Very First Bill. It should be apparent to all here that Trump's handlers aren't going to allow him to go within a thousand yards of anyone who doesn't worship the ground he walks on.

The thing is, who the hell thinks dumping mine tailings in streams is a good idea? I get the feeling Trump is choosing to sign this thing not because We The People demand the right to do that - even in conservative Idaho no one wants coal anywhere around them - but because it's a chance to poke President Obama and America's liberals in the eye again.

Sadly, "trolling liberals" seems to be the modus operandi of Trump's administration. I can just imagine the negotiations that led to Trump's Cabinet picks...

"Mr. President, we have four candidates for Secretary of Defense. The first guy is some homeless alcoholic who was in 5th Special Forces in Vietnam."
'Do you know his name?'
"No, but that's okay; neither does he."
'He seems a little overqualified; who else you got?'

"The second one is Chris Trainor. He runs Batesville Casket Company."
'Why him?'
"We're going to need a lot of his products in the next four years, and we think he can get us a better price."
'Maybe. Show me the next one.'

"The third candidate is James Mattis. He's a retired Marine Corps general who thinks he's Gunnery Sergeant Hartmann from Full Metal Jacket."
'Fine...and the fourth?'

"Mr. President, we knew we had to nominate a woman to shut up all the Social Justice Warriors. Our fourth choice is Robin Lee Row, who knows all about killing."
'What do you mean?'
"In 1992, she killed her husband and two of her kids then burned down their house for insurance money."
'She sounds pretty good, are there any problems with her nomination?'
"We'd have to move pretty fast to get her a waiver...she's been on Death Row in Idaho for 23 years and eventually they're going to get around to executing her."

Trump thinks for a minute...
'Okay. We've got four candidates who are all equally qualified. Which means we've got to answer the only question: which one of these four is going to piss off Hillary the worst if we put that person on the Cabinet?'
"Mattis. No question."
'Fine. Type up his letter of nomination. Who's next?'

Some of the ladies in my wives group are happy about this change. It is mainly the ones that live in TN,Kentucky,PA,etc that want Trump to relax the regulations. They say the downturn with coal has cost their husbands to lose their jobs. Most of them live in areas that primarily transported coal. My husband's trains transport many different products because of our area.

...Small world.

Republicans always show up at the airport where attendance can be controlled. Democrats here speak at the Warren Amphitheater. I figured the only reason Trump was coming here was that he was guaranteed an adoring crowd at the Winner Aviation hanger. The airbase is hard to protest at and no one gets in without a ticket.

Randy Law has the Trumbull County Republican Party in such a shambles I'm not sure they could arrange it.
