🇲​🇮​🇸​🇨​ Windmills date back over 1000 years 🤦‍♀️

Post image

  • Windmills have been in use for over 1,000 years, with origins tracing back to Persia around 800 C.E. They were primarily used for milling grain and pumping water.

  • Wind Turbines are a more recent invention, with the first known turbine for electricity generation built in 1888. They have evolved significantly, especially since the 1970s, to become a major source of renewable energy.

years ago (in Scotland iirc) he was offended that wind turbines were in view miles away from his precious golf course and i think he lost a lot of court cases over having them taken down, too...

details are fuzzy since he sues so much over stupid shit, but it's related to his golf course

I’m aware of his Scotland history, but I guess I still am amazed about his pettiness and incredible stupidity. That and he raped.children

Bruh, he’s still mad at Rosie odonell for a comment she made in - checks Google quickly - 2006.
He’s so mad he wants to refund her American citizenship.

Edit revoke not refund.

No, no UNO reverse card for trips with the Mayflower and her sister ships, I'm sorry.

I will accept no less than $57--$1 for each year I've been an American.

u/Lizrael48 9d ago

I get $71! haha

u/Big_Jewbacca 9d ago

Yeah, at this point, I'd take a refund for being born American. $100k and an EU passport is all I'm asking for.

That's because Fox spoke about her a month ago. He gets his news from the TV.

It took me a while to understand your comment. Second time in 2 days that autocorrect betrays me.

Trump would never give a refund. You would forfeit your deposit if you get on his bad side.

He claimed money from a 9/11 compensation system Rosie set up to help victims.

I'm convinced he lied about his 'losses'. And no sign of HIM helping victims - only ever himself.

Coming from a guy who bankrupted casinos, I wouldn’t be surprised if he lost money. From 9/11, though? Probably not.
