EPTOn another note, this depressing and will lead to a lot of litigation. I am so glad the Supreme Court stripped the voter’s rights act, so we can deal with endless litigation before elections.

Be interesting how he handles this shit storm from all of green peace plus sanctions I don't know much about Green Peace, but are they a good organization? They claim to be environmentally friendly and pro-science, yet they're anti-GMO which means they fall pretty hard on the wrong side of that "debate". With the exception of them being anti-GMO, they seem to be pretty well-intentioned and well-informed regarding the environment, I think? | ||

Overall, this is just one more bullet point in the growing list of reasons why Trump is likely the worst President in history. Will be an easy one to beat him up on in 2020 since his position is essentially indefensible. | ||

Just think of how sick of Trump everyone will be after 3.5 more years. On June 02 2017 04:20 LegalLord wrote: There's only one person who could be fielded to lose to Trump. At this rate she may try to run again. That is not true. We have not tapped into the bottom of the democrat's barrel of terrible politicians. They could field 5 total losers. | ||

Neither really has anything to do with the idea that they want to keep using more fuels or something like Trump is arguing. Is it just to hard for people paid 6-8 figure salaries to know/learn why they aren't part of the Paris agreement, instead of just saying "The US will join Syria and Nicaragua (ya know THOSE countries) as the only countries not signed on". Like wtf? | ||

Well the good news is that the process for leaving the accord takes so long, his replacement in 2020 will be able to cancel our leaving likely. That or we just rejoin as soon as he is booted out. Def not good for the next few years tho. | ||

People defended him and supported him despite that. Beating him in 2020 is not going to be easy because a lot of the people who voted for him are totally cool with everything he's doing. It sounds easy now because he doesn't have an opponent. Think of it this way, do you think Clinton or someone like her would win in a rematch? | ||
