He says the bulbs make other people look orange too. No they don't, that's just you and your bad spray tan. Also, if it was the lightbulbs, then why do you still look orange when you are outside in natural light? Face it, you are ridiculous looking in ANY light. And your hair still looks piss-yellow no matter where you are.

You forgot to mention that his mouth looks like an anus and his perpetual scowl looks like he's constipated.

"If you happen to be watching the Democrat debate and the wind isn't blowing, you're not going to see the debate ... 'the goddamn windmill stopped!'"



Quite a few zingers there.

They can get behind caging kids, stealing poor kid's lunches, closing women's clinics, building walls, backing racists, et al, but don't you take the Lord's name in vain!

You do just fine at keeping yourself orange. Don't worry, it is not those nasty lightbulbs.

“With all that’s at stake in the world, the Trump Administration has chosen to declare war on energy-efficient light bulbs. This is but another dim-witted move that will waste energy at the expense of our people and planet. We are prepared to challenge this latest Trump backsliding which seemingly has no bottom.”


Meanwhile, a poll revealed @11% of Republicans see climate as a high priority issue. A real welfare state would pass a law to keep them from handling sharp objects.

Everyone that's done much photography knows that incandescent lighting casts an orangish hue to your photos when using daylight-balanced cameras and film. That's the reason Kodak made special film with color correction for incandescent lighting.

If anything, typical energy efficient LED or fluorescent lighting would make him look blue or overexposed.......

Clarification: any exposure to him is overexposed........
