How does anyone on Fox News not understand what they are doing or are they just pretending to be offended in order to create the illusion they are naive?

God UT would be hosed because they have all these coal and resource companies wanting to expand near the parks. Like Bryce Canyon, a place known for clear air and star filled nights would be hosed if how the BLM/National Forest lands are to be an indication.
http://upr.org/post/alton-coal-mine-expansion-sparks-controversy
Thankfully the people at Bryce Canyon wrote an enormous Impact Statement that is pretty much covers everything why this would be a dumb idea.

Sad that a bunch of paleontologists and geologists decided to be a bunch of sell outs for that coal company, saying that the expansion wouldn't effect the fossils in the region

Nah, he has "reasonable Republican" protection from that. Remember, this is the same electorate that thought Cruz was a reasonable, suitable alternative to Trump.

As to the truck dude and gun control, didn't he jump out with guns after the ramming? Someone asked if there was anything we could do to stop a suicide truck, and honestly I doubt it. Both my parents are/were semi drivers and I really doubt you could stop one intended to hit a crowd without advanced warning. They're lucky it wasn't a gas tanker, honestly, he could've pulled triple digit body counts.

It's pretty horrible but when I woke up this morning to the news this was where my head went first thing: "Gun people are going to be insufferable, I have to start thinking about the exact argument to make... after all, to legally drive you have to have a license and you must be sober."

Yeah I mean you can do that sure, but like I said, you'd need advanced warning or a lot of pre planning for that to work.

I just asked my mom over the phone and she's like "well if you shoot out the radiator from far enough away the truck would shut down," which is some :downs: levels of action movie hypotheticals. And it still wouldn't change that this dude had military grade weapons and intent to murder indiscriminately anyway.

I mean, I guess that's true. But it would have to be like a couple miles away. poo poo would still have to overheat before the engine blew and it's not like it just comes to a complete stop at that point either. A .50 cal through the engine block kills the engine faster, but again, there's that whole momentum thing.

Well, yeah. Pence is essentially a Ted Cruz without the punchable face.

Look, when I meant reasonable, I meant more in the sense that while Trump is Republican policies spoken out loud, Pence represents those same policies but with the veneer of respectability.

Let's say he's more presentable.
