President Joe Biden said Sunday there were plenty of climate-denying dog-faced pony soldiers out there, but their numbers are dwindling as the world takes serious steps to address the climate crisis.
The president was in Vietnam after the Group of 20 summit in New Delhi. His unusual comment came amid a question about rich nations failing to reach an agreement to phase out fossil fuels during the event this month, although Biden noted nations had agreed to dramatically increase renewable energy resources.
Theres a lot of lying, dog-faced pony soldiers out there about global warming, the president said, referencing a classic movie. But not anymore. All of the sudden theyre all realizing its a problem.
And theres nothing like seeing the light, Biden added.

I avoid X also. Anything on that little Nazi's platform comes up with x.com in the link.

- 45 as a dog-faced pony soldier is second only to Reagan in being Biden's dog-faced pony soldier.

and threw it down the aisle of the Senate shouting about how there was no global warming.
So thats another one.
