You've made a lot of doomsday predictions for Donald Trump so far, but nothing's happened, no evidence of anything that sticks to him. Let's see if this next event is his final curtain call. Quote

kimmy Posted June 3, 2017 Report Posted June 3, 2017 It was obvious the day Trump was elected that the US would pull out of the Paris agreement. 20% of Republicans are in the pocket of the oil companies and only care about getting paid. 15% of Republicans think the earth is flat and that if the sea levels rise, the extra water will just spill over the edge. 25% of Republicans think God will protect the environment so we can do whatever we like. 40% of Republicans don't care about the future because they think the Rapture is going to happen any day now. -k 1 Quote (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ Friendly forum facilitator! ┬──┬◡ﾉ(° -°ﾉ)

bush_cheney2004 Posted June 3, 2017 Report Posted June 3, 2017 The Paris Agreement is an international treaty by any measure, and should have been subject to ratification by the U.S. Senate. President Obama went around the U.S. Constitution, and President Trump just fixed that.... http://www.nationalreview.com/article/448156/paris-agreement-treaty-requiring-two-thirds-senate-vote Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
Argus Posted June 3, 2017 Report Posted June 3, 2017 An overlooked item from a couple of weeks back was that Jeff Sessions has put an end to Obama's guidelines about sentencing criminals. Obama wanted prosecutors to be hesitant about putting people away for long periods of time for non-violent crimes, particularly if they were low level offenders. Sessions ordered all crimes be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, without regard to circumstances - or humanity. Susan Rice lifts her hands to her face. She pushes aside her gray hair and wipes away tears. She turns to her family, sitting behind her in a federal court, and mouths "I love you." It may be a while before they're all together again. Rice turns back to face Judge Mark Bennett as he enters. The federal courtroom is silent except for the clang of shackles on Rice's wrists and ankles and her muffled sobs. Her emotion is perhaps unsurprising. The grandmother of three faces between five and 40 years in prison for conspiracy to distribute 5 or more grams of methamphetamine. That's the size of a packet of sugar. http://www.cnn.com/2017/06/02/politics/mandatory-minimum-sentencing-sessions/index.html Quote "A liberal is someone who claims to be open to all points of view — and then is surprised and offended to find there are other points of view.” William F Buckley

The ones that are keeping the guns on the streets are the black gangs that keep shooting each other. The NRA can't be held responsible for that. Why can't you get that? Quote

They allow them to be sold to anybody with a drivers license in many states, and even less than that at gun shows. Quote

I guess that the gun manufacturers can be partially blamed for the guns being on the streets but they cannot be blamed for all the killings that are happening on the streets. And neither can the NRA be blamed either. It is the gangs that are responsible for all those killings. Next you will be trying to blame Trump for all the killings. Good luck on that one. Quote

Gun manufacturers are not responsible. That's as stupid as saying GM is responsible for a drunk driver killing a pedestrian with one of their cars. The lack of gun laws is similar to not having laws against drunk driving. Not everybody should allowed to have guns simply because of a hugely outdated second amendment idea. BTW, do you what words of that second were chiseled off the front wall of the new NRA offices a few years ago? Quote
