Axios: Trump is pulling U.S. out of Paris climate deal

Other countries need to sanction us or something to show trump you can't just fuck over the international community and be on your way.

Doomed.
 
Not to sound too downtrodden or cynical... But what the fuck did all of this marching we've done accomplish?

Doubling down on anti-science global climate denial and backing out of this deal, making it more difficult for a woman to receive an abortion, re-instituting mandatory minimums... He's just following the shit Republican agenda unabated.

I feel like Democratic leaders aren't putting this energy into where it's needed- Focusing on midterm/local elections, voter registration, and driving home the point that the only way to actually get anything done is to get out and fucking vote.

Huh? Montana had huge amounts of money poured into it, and the Georgia special election is becoming the most expensive in history. A large part of the drive for both of them have been voter registration and get out and vote drives. I mean, I'm not sure what else you can expect. They maybe could have done more in Montana, but they still put in a large effort.

As a non-US citizen is sad to see how they elected this dude that is now on a path to damage the entire world with his policies. Fuck him and honestly, fuck everyone who voted for him.

I'm still in disbelief that this idiot actually won that election.

I'm a US citizen and i'm still having a hard time believing this as well... Fuck Trump and I hope the huge dam that's holding in all the bad Karma he's accumulated bursts open and swallows the guy whole.

I hope the rest of the world knows there are many of us here in the US who hate this guy as much if not more than them -_-

Its miniscule but three of my work colleagues have cancelled holidays to the states due to Trump.

Although I'm still saving, its been a lifelong dream to do a coast to coast drive across the states while taking in as many MLB stadiums as i can. Definitely putting that on hold for the foreseeable future the way its going.

The travel industry in the US has taken a hit post-Trump, so it's not that minuscule. I don't think it's like massive, per say, but it's stunted a lot of travel to the country. I remember The Washington Post had an article about awhile back

We can't and we won't.

Republicans hold more power than ever. They were elected all across the states into local positions as well. We literally have to wait for the old generation to die for the ideology to start losing footing. We might even elect a Democratic president in 4 or 8 years from now and they'll still be around either deciding legislation or blocking legislation they don't like. Come back in 30 years.

Thank you Trump voters for fucking over this country for a generation or more because you couldn't stand a black man or a woman be president.

I would not be surprised to see large parts of the USA living by third-world standards within the next decade.

It will be really difficult (and tremendously expensive) to recover from the actions of this clown.

There's already places in the US that are very close to this, so yeah, it's going to be a real shitshow. The GOP has outright destroyed some States, too. Kansas and Oklahoma, for instance, may never recover.

OH SHIT! All we need to do is destroy an ideology! How stupid of the voters that went for Clinton, and the others that decided to vote for neither of the two party options!

So all we need to do is silence a point of view, got it.

Simple blaming "100% of US citizens" is utter nonsense. The next opportunity we have to slow this down is in 2018.

Well this seems reasonable.

It's already happening in Oklahoma and Kansas.

I feel Trump will be too chicken to pull out with all the backlash that's happening. See Trump congratulating himself for not pulling out, the GOP praising the dear leader for what amounts to not doing anything, and the far right mocking the sensationalist media.

So when do the rest of the world collectively start to put sanctions on the US? They are up there with Russia and North Korea in term of threat to the world by now.
 
It's pretty sad the covfefe meme sparked more comments than this topic...

Yup. Why do you think shit like this happens? Because people have to spend too much time doing something about something like this. Where as, they can just do a drive by LOL and it's out of their head instantly.

Sanctioning the US is like hitting a fist with your forehead and it would only galvanize Trump supporters.

Thanks, Murica, you truly outdone yourself now.

Is there even enough evidence that mankind contributes enough to global warming to warrant such actions? Seeing as there was global warming before we even walked the earth.

Probably bait, but just in case, even if global warming was not caused by human activity, what would be the downside of taking care of the planet while creating technologies and markets in the process ?

Who still gives a shit about them? Lost souls, lost in time, lost in a fake reality. They chose to be left behind, so leave them behind.

There are circa 7.440 billion others who will suffer because hey let's not galvanise some pieces of shit. Fuck them.

As an American I can only say we're pretty fucked up in the core here.

Sorry.

* We have a straight up republican propaganda machine that spouts myths, half truths and outright lies 24/7 to the public.

* We have a majority of people that are so misinformed and superficial that TV personalities are the most likely to win over people with actual brains.

* We have a nation that's so blinded by their notion of God that it causes unquestionable devotion to disgusting ideologies and bigotry.

* We are so afraid of "others" taking our stuff we gladly fuck ourselves over in order to protect a fortune we don't have.

* We now have a President who will attack every single global ally yet not say one single bad thing about Russia or Putin.

-------

This administration is such a depressing moment in our history. It feels like the scene in Ghostbusters where the containment unit is shut down and all hell breaks loose. Hatred is on the rise, people are angry and afraid over the wrong things, families are torn apart.

All I can do is protest whenever I can and hope that the more sensible ones can finally stop with the "both sides" bullshit and stand up against the spineless cowards in power who care more about the wealthy than the needy. Hopefully people can realize that healthcare costs will rise along with the ocean tides and start fucking voting these bastards out.

If that doesn't work then well it's been a fun ride for humanity but it'll be soon time for the apes to rise.

It's the return of the Johnson administration.

Did everything in it's power to erase Lincoln's legacy and let the Confederacy regain power in the South after it was defeated by letting it's leaders be elected to office. It was like the US never won the war, and his ramifications are still being felt to this day.

This is a disgrace and poor leadership. Of course a 70 year old and his rich old friends don't care about the climate or the future. They barely have any time left in this world. Fuck them. The fact that much of America supports Republicans, many ignorantly, is astounding. There seems to never be a large shift in power. What will it take for people to wake up and realize that these allegiances are not working in their favour all the time.

Sure, fuck them. But they will still have voting power in America so they can't just be ignored.

Also the oposition is weak as fuck so there's no guarantees americans won't pick other Trump in the future (maybe one a bit more competent and therefore worse).
