lololol oh look a real miner

YES I am all here for more performative dress up/costumes from our fascist overlords Look at him, he thinks he’s a little big strong man with a job and everything! At least time wasted doing this is less time wasted on other, more horrific things

Old Ken doll, dickless loser.

Harris Faulkner can Faulk off.

A Village People Person🤣

Sweet, another strip mine.

He needs more hair extensions

no, no you can’t fix it.

We use to ridicule cosplay in politics

Is he on site? If yes then he would have to wear a hardhat and high-vis vest regardless of who he is. That is just kinda jobsite 101 even if it does look goofy over his (presumably) expensive suit.

Something tells me the US didn’t open a rare earth minerals mine for 70yrs for a very specific reason that had nothing to do with budget. 👀

The reason is probably that extracting rare earth minerals from coal creates a lot of toxic waste like thorium and uranium all which has to be prevented from entering the environment.

I knew somebody smarter than me would know!! Thank you!🙃

Love they are acting like they started this project. It takes years to open up a mine. They didnt do this they are just claiming credit.

What is the WH budget line item amount for hats and costumes?

Who wears it better???😏

Trump’s idea for sure.

Poser.

He’s dressed like his overnight Amazon delivery came just in time for his TV appearance.

Look at the guy who ran against Carney here in Canada. LOL

I didn't know they has Spirit Halloween costumes in Canada! 😆

😫

Government by Fox News Story. 🤨

😂😂😂😂😂

To be fair, this is pretty common for DOE guys to be wearing PPE when visiting sites.

they're gonna let him play with the big tonkas in the uranium pile today ...

Embarrassing

Another greedy corporation getting richer and over paid by US tax payers! Can’t wait to chalk up this failure! Republicans kill everything they touch including the next generations to come because earth does not have a plan “B”!

Which superhero is he supposed to be? The Shoveler*? * Mystery men (1999)

Definitely not the first rare earth miner, I owned shares when it was Molycorp, went bankrupt in 2015.

It’s usually around 10-15 years from start to production. So showing an idiot in construction gear and trucks driving on a mining site, does not add up to production. 5 stages of the mining are: Exploration & Prospecting Planning & Evaluation Construction Production Rehabilitation & Reclamation

This is getting really tiresome.

Let's be clear - this "cosplaying" and then invented reality "fanfic" is absolutely a sign of a psychopath who has no identity and simply dresses up to simulate an identity. It's a visual meme. This is how their brain processes things. "I am dressed up as an engineer" = "I am an engineer"

It is cosplay, but it's also OSHA compliant and likely required if he's actually on site.

Do cabinet members vote on best costumes when they meet?

Still not as good as Daddy.

😂

Construction fucking Joe over here

It’s like a cosplay circus. But I don’t want to pay to attend…

It started w ivanka

Good catch

It's Hardhat Chris.

WE CANNOT DO ANYTHING WITH "RARE EARTH" MINERALS? Why are we doing this?

When they start glowing in the dark and dying young from cancer, there will be no healthcare in Wyoming. Congratulations.

It needs to have an increasingly puffy face to show her filler addiction

What’s the helmet protecting? Nothing but dust and air blowing around in that head. 🙄

Going for the Scott Walker look.

Nothing like wearing protective gear with nothing to protect.

Scott who?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Dressing up like a lineman ? Maybe he should try just being competent haha

@gallego.senate.gov Here's your vote in action How long until coal is powering your Crypto Pals data farms ? The Pinon Plain uranium mine is just outside Grand Canyon National Park, how long until the expand into the park, how long until the ground water glows ?

That guy is an Evergreen Park jagbag.

Neodymium and dysprosium are used in the permanent magnets of wind turbines, lanthanum in electric and hybrid car batteries. you cant make this shit up.

I can hardly wait to see him with puffer lips and dusty Rapunzel extensions.

Looks like every project manager I’ve ever seen. Right down to the hi-vis vest with its packaging creases.

This is the first "Dad from ALF playing with rocks" story I've seen in 30 years.

It's quite the plan. Extracted minerals are the type used in wind turbines and electric vehicles. Not a favorite of the orange fuckface. Those used for military targeting may be more to his liking

If he can sell extracted minerals, then he will be happier than if he had to use them.

I think countries could get a better deal from China

🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦 🍁 CANADA ffs WE HAVE TONNES OF RARE MINERALS

Ok but wouldn’t this mine have needed to have been doing surveys and getting licensed over atleast 5 years? So nothing to do with Trumps regime …

Cute outfit. But I'm pretty sure someone had to dress him.

He’s kind of like her “Ken.”

I've been told Noem's preferred pronouns are Bergen-Belsen Barbie.

OMG 😆

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

It's giving Dean Pelton from Community

All he needs is a clipboard and he really could play the boss.

Like Daddy before him

The mine is a coal mine that is being reopened. A byproduct of the coal mining with be the REEs. The best bit: there is absolutely no problem sourcing REE ore: the problem is in the benefaction and refining: there is ~ none in the US so if the sell the ore on guess where to: CHINA!

www.wyomingpublicmedia.org/natural-reso...

Looks like they're *planning* to build refining capabilities on site, but seems like they're a long, long way from actually doing it. Heck, they seem a long way from being able to recover the REE, and none of their technical reports have enough detail to convince me that it'll go. It's a coal mine.

In the US, we've never had the stomach for the waste that refining these minerals causes. We do not have the capacity to do anything with any of this. Who does? China, but they are mega pissed over the tariff situation. They are not going to help. So we'll have this crap and be fucked.

Quite.

What a big strong boy.

Hey, if you are a dick, might as well look like one.

His outfit isn't as cute

He needs to get a picture of himself in the truck honking the horn. 😁

It’s like this dude:

Is that a fake background behind him? Jesus H C.

No dirt on your vest or hard hat🤔
