The Demented Don garbled so much gobbledygook yesterday in New Hampshire that an unfortunate reporter would need 75,000 words properly chronicle it all, so I will narrow my focus this morning – and present only a small nugget of his nonsense.

While on a tangent about, I suppose, the nation’s energy reserves, he used the term “liquid gold” when referring to the our available supply of oil and gas, though technically a gas is not a liquid, dumbass, but I’ll let that one slide…

But then the stable genius wanted to talk about the corn he “met” in Iowa last week, referring, I guess, to someone asking about ethanol production, when he astutely reminded his listeners that corn is not a liquid… thus the “non-liquid” take.

ACYN on Twitter preserved the idiocy for posterity:


Apparently, Andrea.


🤣 That would be a lot funnier if it weren’t so true.


WTF indeed.


🤣


Score another one for the genius…


🤔🤔🤔


🤣🤣🤣

Yup.


And causes lesions on the hands…


Yup.


🤣🤣🤣

I think it may be time for another one of those “man, woman, camera, vegetable” tests.

  1. Popcorn!!! Who knew???? LOL! What a moron coming apart at the seams! I saw liquid gold in the Hobbit in the dragon’s lair. Oh, and a ring that made you invisible. Make more of those and we can have an invisible army!

  2. Dino, the state of substance, compound, etc. depends upon the temperature. This is why we have LPG-Liquefied Petroleum Gas (there is also Liquefied Natural Gas). Its boiling point (when it becomes a Gas) is below room temperature. LPG is supplied in steel containers, stored there as well, filled to 80-85% capacity to allow for thermal expansion. Probably more than you wanted to know and certainly more than Dingleberry knows.

    • OK – I’ll try to be brief. You can’t make ethanol from corn directly either. Corn is starch, ethanol comes (most of the time – there are other ways) from sugar. Starch can be converted to sugar but requires heat and enzymes all which cost money. So how do these large ethanol fuel companies make a profit now that it’s mixed with gasoline and available in most every state? Lobbying and federal subsidies. Lest you think I’m a right wing conspiracy theorist I speak from experience. In the late ’70’s a group of us set out to try to do this on a small scale. After just under a quarter million $ and 3 years, we threw up our hands, declared bankruptcy and limped away. Never turned a profit. We also experimented with cellulose conversion – possible in theory but way beyond the means of us little guys. I absolutely still support alternative fuels but sadly without the external stimulus of political support one cannot compete in the fuel industry on a small scale. Live and learn. (a side note: In 1979 we had applied to the DOE for an applied technology grant. We were initially awarded I think $50k. Who was president in 1979? Jimmy Carter. Within months after Reagan was elected in 1980, our contacts at DOE all disappeared – “no longer work here”. No calls or correspondence returned, dead in the water. We never got a penny. True story)
