We need bold leadership to break the hold of what President Eisenhower deemed 'the military-industrial complex.'"

“We’ve run out of elections to waste,” and a presidential contest between such climate policy empty suits as Trump and Biden would be a suicidal waste of the timeliest election for climate policy ever.

Looking back at the flaws of past presidents, one can understand why Obama is the best. Because by comparison, he looks sterling.
