[Mr. Blonde]

Fuck you Trump.

This climate deal is suppose to help less well off folks in my home country of Zambia long term where things like drought and insane floods are harming our growing agricultural industry where a lot of the population earn their coin.

Back in 2015, I always thought the US would be key in such efforts to stabilise the climate but it's clear now, the rest of the world just has to do this thing on their own.

Hopefully once the orange twat is gone after 4 years

Spoiler

or impeached

, we can have a US president who actually believes in climate change.

Again, fuck you Trump.

Agree that this is a good deal for smaller, developing nations. For the US, not so much.

 

[mnz]

Did people really think he wouldn't? He wouldn't have made it such a story then. This is going to happen.

Is the US not on this planet? Fuck you if you support this shit.

Should there be any less outrage?

No but tax dollars and stuff.

He's promised lots of stuff that he hasn't followed through on. I wouldn't fault anyone at this point for being surprised when he follows through on a campaign promise.

That said, I don't have any time for the people who voted for him on a presumption that he wouldn't fulfill his promises.

 

[Chocolate & Vanilla]

Time to put America under a dome Simpsons style.

I guess letting China and India supply everyone's need for renewable energy technology is worth spitting in the face of the rest of the world?

Obviously no money in the top of the market.

 

[Lambtron]

Our president is, among other things, colossally stupid.

Great, time to trott out the liars.

 

[Rubenov]

Pretty much the source and motivation for Trump's actions.

 

[mnz]

There should be a general strike if you ask me. I hope it will have global consequences for the US.

I was mostly answering the last post on the last page. What I mean is that he could've clarified this all week. With a tweet even. But he didn't and that told you everything you needed to know.

 

[Bruce Springsteen]

Don't forget these assholes from the GOP:

U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.), senior member of the Senate Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee, and Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) today sent a letter to President Trump calling for the United States to withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement.

The letter was also signed by:

Sens. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.),
John Cornyn (R-Texas),
Roy Blunt (R-Mo.),
Roger Wicker (R-Miss.),
Mike Enzi (R-Wyo.),
Mike Crapo (R-Idaho),
Jim Risch (R-Idaho),
Thad Cochran (R-Miss.),
Mike Rounds (R-S.D.),
Rand Paul (R-Ky),
John Boozman (R-Ark.),
Richard Shelby (R-Ala.),
Luther Strange (R-Ala.),
Orrin Hatch (R-Utah),
Mike Lee (R-Utah),
Ted Cruz (R-Texas),
David Perdue (R-Ga.),
Thom Tillis (R-N.C.),
Tim Scott (R-S.C.),
Pat Roberts (R-Kan.).

and people think Trump is getting impeached with these people in the power?

Fucking Republicans literally want your offspring to die.

The audience for the 3 p.m. Rose Garden event will include Thomas Pyle, president of the American Energy Alliance — a group that has received some of its past funding from billionaire industrialists Charles and David Koch — and some of his policy staff. Also present will be Competitive Enterprise Institute Director Myron Ebell, who briefly led Trump's transition efforts at the EPA, and members of CEI's Center for Energy and Environment.

The Heritage Foundation is sending founder Ed Feulner, Vice President Jack Spencer, Senior Vice President Bridgett Wagner, policy analyst Katie Tubb and Mike Needham, who runs Heritage Action.

All three groups waged an intensive campaign to persuade the administration to pull out of the deal.

Cavalcade of ignorance and spite.

 

[genericsuperhero]

Pretty much explains his actions for every single thing he takes down.

Obama is firmly entrenched in his mind.

Obama supported future life on Earth. Therefore...

I think you guys are missing the fact that Cheeto Bandito's name is on that along with his sons. Second to last line. So he supported it at one point also.

I know what i want to say, but i won't say it, because it will probably get me banned.

I will just say, as I have said before, FUCK ALL REPUBLICANS. There isn't a such thing as a "good republican." If you are a good person, you are not republican. It's that fucking simple.

I will never again have empathy/sympathy for anybody that votes for these people. I don't give a shit if you and your family are starving or fucking dying from disease. I will point and laugh at you. That's exactly what you want. That's exactly what you will fucking get.

Rest of the world, you have duty to humanity to curtail this bullshit. Sanction the US. Do what you have to do. Fuck our economy to shit.

 

[BoogieWoogie]

Cavalcade of ignorance and spite.

WELL GEE I WONDER WHAT HIS DECISION WILL BE

 

[Ziltoidia 9]

Whats with the GOP sending letters to oppressive regimes? First Iran, now Trump?

Texas stays losing. Of course they signed that letter. When oh when can we rid ourselves from them??

Oh thank God its 4 years at least. Maybe we'll have Trump gone and we can just instantly cancel the fucking withdrawal.

 

[F0rneus]

Piece of filth fucking us all over.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Oh thank God its 4 years at least. Maybe we'll have Trump gone and we can just instantly cancel the fucking withdrawal.

Let's hope so.

China tells Donald Trump there is an international responsibility to act over climate change

Never thought we'd see the day that China would tell us something like this considering their history.

4 years? Well if that is not a great attack ad not to reelect Trump. Destroy the earth, or vote for Donald Dump.

Easy decision for anyone with a working brain.

The earliest we could withdraw, following the terms, is effectively the day after the next election, I think.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

Oh thank God its 4 years at least. Maybe we'll have Trump gone and we can just instantly cancel the fucking withdrawal.

The 4 years bit is probably what Ivanka and Co. bargained for. My guess is part of the negotiation was to follow the legal withdrawal of the Paris deal instead of the brute force withdrawal of the entire UN accord, which only would take around a year.

 

[BoogieWoogie]

Easy decision for anyone with a working brain.

The fact that so many rotten people in our country don't have working brains is why he's President right now.

 

[Tovarisc]

How trustworthy Beast is? To post new thread for new news or wait for official announcement?

So Trump is doing his usual bull in a china shop version of international politics except the bull also has TNT strapped to it and is on PCP.

 

[TapeDispenser1000]

Just try to imagine the amount of work it took to get this climate deal worked out.

 

[BoogieWoogie]

How trustworthy Beast is? To post new thread for new news or wait for official announcement?

Might as well post it, its a done deal.

 

[mckmas8808]

That ad literally writes itself. Makes me think he's leaving the Paris agreement just so he can't get re-elected.

 

[Cairax]

Oh thank God its 4 years at least. Maybe we'll have Trump gone and we can just instantly cancel the fucking withdrawal.

I had read yesterday that the earliest US could withdraw was 2019

 

[LiquidSword]

NPR just had on the lawmaker who brought in a snowball to say climate change was a hoax. They just let him spew bullshit about the Paris agreement and barely challenged him. It's infuriating that NPR has people like this on.

 

[Zolo]

Oh thank God its 4 years at least. Maybe we'll have Trump gone and we can just instantly cancel the fucking withdrawal.

Phew. Well, just have to win the next election then.

 

[Shake Appeal]

Never thought we'd see the day that China would tell us something like this considering their history.

China fast-forwarded their industrialization process and are already pivoting to clean energy, because they're not fucking criminally dumb like us.

 

[Pandora012]

So basically, he gets the best of both worlds. His supporters love him because he's keeping the campaign promise. Yet US is still in the pact, long enough for a new President to stay in the accord. Thus making the new President hated by Trumps base.

 

[Palette Swap]

These stories of Ivanka trying their darnest ARE FULL OF SHIT. That is all.

She was always an excuse for people to justify their support or apathy of this life threatening scum. If they were fooled, they were willingly fooled.

 

[Shoeless]

Easy decision for anyone with a working brain.

Unfortunately, American election results have already proven that a lot of people can have that working brain short circuited by hiding all the other bad stuff behind xenophobic rhetoric. When you've even got 53% of white women voting against their own rights because they're more scared of foreigners than they are of having control of their own bodies taken away from them, that really says something.

 

[Linkark07]

Our president is, among other things, colossally stupid.

And an evil little man who deserves to have his name and his family's name tarnished in history forever.
