Why do people continue to act outraged and surprised by these picks? What were people expecting from one of the most visible businessmen ever running on a GOP ticket?

Yup, everyone knew this would happen... and they let it happen.

You made your bed now you can sleep in it, Americans.

Maybe they could change the "P" to "Pillaging."

It's always weird when a Republican becomes President and has to make appointments to all these agencies that Republicans don't think should exist.

So what are the chances of the Trump regime offering incentives and tax breaks for clean energy?

Are we in the negative % now?

They'll probably enact a tax on clean energy to ensure it becomes non-competitive, just like climate change made American manufacturing non-competitive or whatever.

Sigh. Congratulations for voting in the pathological liar who is doing exactly what everyone expected him to do.

Remember, when sea levels rise and mass extinctions happen, it's all a conspiracy by climate change scientists.

Man, this is going to be rough... Makes me so sad for the folks in areas that want to drill and ones on the coasts that climate change is going to affect...

Obligatory post stating that the majority of voters voted against him.

If the planet will be negatively affected let's point fingers at the correct people and never let them live it down.

Not a big soccer fan, but this sounds interesting going to check this out.

Side note: I was recently look at home to buy and some home had a virtual tour and it really gave you a sense of the space, anyway just thought some of the non gaming related vr stuff was cool also.

Caught ya.
 
When you live in middle America what happens to the coasts doesn't effect you. When you can't afford to travel out of your dying little town what happens to the national parks doesn't effect you.

It's not that people didn't know. It's that they didn't care.

Didn't Trump flip flop on this recently on the NYT interview? And his daughter said this was something she was going to fight for.

MAKE UP YOUR FUCKING MIND TRUMP.

This affects the whole planet.

We were likely environmentally fucked even with another OBAMA at the helm.

With...Trump....the whole planet is going to suffer. And burn. And for what?

To make about a dozen rich people even richer.

From what I understand, global warming will hit the areas away from the cost harder in terms of the heat itself, I'm sure there will be plenty of already scorching hot places in the US that are not gonna have a fun time in the coming century

a lot of my threads involve me fucking up somehow. Perhaps I'm a moron?
If these cunts continue to ruin winters I'm going to be pretty cheesed.

Well done America. It's one thing to fuck yourself over, it's a completely different thing to fuck the entire world by not only undoing what had been done, but also surgically removing everything that still needs to be done in order to save our planet.

We only got one. Don't you understand? There's no do-over, there's no second chance, this is it. This is the end game.

Mostly to punish liberals for asking people to try and be more politically correct.

Next time you think about asking someone to change the name of the Redskins, maybe you'll think about whether or not you want to die in a literal fire, smart guy.

Smokescreen for people for calm down and have hope that he will do the right while he appoints people whose agenda is crystal clear.

He knows he's taking an unpopular position so he's distracting with one hand while the other hand does the dirty deeds.
 
God dammit, and all my friends will just continue to say "He can't do anything anyway" this shit makes my blood boil and most people just don't care.

Is there a timeline laid out about when to expect when this shit will get really bad? Cause honestly this is one of the reasons I've thought about not having kids when I'm older.
 
It should be reconvened for the express purpose of getting everyone to agree to punitive sanctions on the US. The rest of the world needs to stand up and put us in our place.

Honestly yeah, I wish the rest of the world would but I doubt it would ever happen. At this point I would much prefer another economic collapse due to sanctions than completely and intentionally ruining the planet for future generations for no fucking reason at all other than sheer arrogance and ignorance.

At least 4 years of insurmountable damage to the future of mankind...

That is an absolutely absurd thought.

It really is. The perfect storm of voter apathy and misplaced anger has led us to the absolute worst modern government I could imagine. They're literally going to undo 20+ years of progress. Hope the rust belt enjoys this.

To get the vote of people still living in 1955 I guess you have to manage the world with only the knowledge and policies we had in 1955.

I assume when the sea swallows us up, there will be some Conservative fuckhead screaming about how the water is cold, so climate change is a myth. CHECKMATE LIBRULLLLlrrrrrgggggghhhhhhhhhhh
