14:13 10/10 Well Said Gov. Inslee
IR_Dankenstein Oh Dear…
Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah. Big cheers for Governor Inslee. Good luck in your future.
H C ….in prison
the rain forrest is on fire too. It’s burning right now. Talk about that
Don’t talk— put it out
@Southern Fried Cynic Don’t forget to rack the forest floors too.
Ah, this saddens me. I was really looking forward to having him in the debate – he’s statesman-like and advances an important agenda. I guess has the sense and humility to quit now and continue to work to get this message heard.
Love your sense of humour 🤡
I’d love to see Inslee as the head of the EPA
jerry flounders 👈😡❄️ Nope. Yours? 🤔
@xpaige – He’d be good, but I doubt Washingtonians would want to give him up
@Ash Roskell I would rather have him than most of the other Candidates, Bernie, Warren, Harris, Booker, Biden. I really don’t see a Path for any Democrat. The Democrats are split into Justice and Corporate.
Same here. I’ve heard a lot of people say this also.
Thank you for running a campaign that seeks to fight Climate Change! Sad to hear you are dropping out of the race, but do keep up the good work and continue leading your home state in the right direction! I think the best option now is to run another term for governor! Keep up the good work!
I’m sad. I almost knew who he was.
I was just getting to know him.
i’m so sorry to hear that you are leaving the race. but ty for having brought climate change so clearly into the spotlight, where it belongs. God bless
China and India are driving manmade climate change now. GND and Democrats are using it as a prop for a power-grab. Jet-setting limousine liberals will make the people suffer with their “do as i say, not as I do” brand of hypocrisy
Jay is a great American protecting our interests and planet unlike the current cell leader in the white house.
Jay is the typical “do as I say, not as I do” liberal hypocrite. Enjoy Trump’s re-election!
Let’s talk about the Epstein cover up. Why wasn’t Ghislaine Maxwell arrested the same day as Epstein? Why didn’t the FBI arrange searches at all of his addresses for that day or the next? He is suspected to have had thousands of victims and you know some of them must have been killed during struggles. EVERYONE tied to him at all needs to be taken into custody for questioning, from chauffeurs to politicians. We know his powerful friends have known the score for a long time.
I can’t wait until SpankyPants bites the dust!
I can’t wait till Mango Mussolini bites the dust!
He’ll be out of office in January 2025. Plenty of time for you to grow a pair, if you work at it
Always hate to see a good man forced out……politics in 2019 is very cruel…..good luck
Governor Inslee….thanks for your passion for climate change.
Here is a list of his accomplishments:
Governor Inslee would be fantastic as EPA Director, or leading the Dept of Energy!
The Amazon rain forest is burning. The largest source of oxygen on this planet. Mother Earth is in bad shape and so is the human race.
It’s just renewing it’s self
The greatest boon to Mother Earth will be the extinction of the human race, so nothing will be done
Actually, phytoplankton in our Ocean produces the most oxygen on the planet. Not trying to downplay the importance of the Amazon though. Thanks
He would be good as President even. The Democrats simply have so many great choices.
We want you the head of the EPA!! We need you in the cabinet!
Yes!
He’s a quality guy who should be pegged for EPA head.
Yea, this guy needs to be head of EPA.
Thanks for the fight on climate change !!! You candidacy was worth it sir !!! Should lead the EPA in the next Democratic party administration
