The day the US stepped down from leadership

[Rambunctious]

English is not Macron's native tongue, yet he still speaks it better than Trump does

Trump speaks NY blue collar. so get da hell out a here.

 

[WEATHER53]

Actually it's the day we retook leadership instead of followshit

 

[Soggy in NOLA]

Wait, now the left wants the U.S. to be a world leader? Usually they're lecturing us on how we have no business trying to lead the world.

 

[bripat9643]

Finally, a president with some common sense.

I don't exactly call that common sense. You aren't educated so you wouldn't understand how this can backfire.

Tell us, how can it backfire?

 

[bripat9643]

Macron is pissed because we have a real president now who isn't trying to undermine our country like the last one was doing. No more transfer of wealth from us to them, while China and India (worst polluters in the world) get a free pass. Go Trump!

Dumb ass. China and India agreed to the accords.

They impose no burdens on them, so why wouldn't they agree to them?

 

[Flash]

Trump transformed from being the leader of the international environmental wacko dumbass smucks to being the leader of the United States. Good for him. MAGA Baby!

Sorry, I couldn't hear you on my new iPhone (made in China). Maybe it's this new underwear (made in China)?

If you wouldn't buy counterfeit iPhones you wouldn't have that problem..

Indian firm gets contract to build iPhone SE

 

[Uncensored2008]

The Paris agreement was us giving the key to our treasury to the undeveloped nations of the world. How can anyone defend that?

B.S.

What he said is factual. I can't help thinking you have your hand in the cookie jar...

Well. France might get mad at us and act really rude...

Trump is hundreds of times better as President than Dubya, and thousands better than fucktard Obama.

 

[BlackFlag]

Trump is hundreds of times better as President than Dubya, and thousands better than fucktard Obama.

How many hundreds of times a day do you repeat that to yourself, trying to reassure yourself about it?

Anytime I'm reminded of one of Obama's colossal fuckups, like the Paris accord that he illegally entered into.

Trump pulls US from Paris accord (full speech)

A new leader of the free world has emerged.

Macron SLAMS Trump for WITHDRAWAL of Paris Climate Accord Agreement 6/1/2017 its NOT RENEGOTIABLE

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzcrSvF7ZJA

No...it's the day America walked away from the circle jerk.

And no one will stroke us now. Back to doing it ourselves, all alone in our room thinking of others. A perfect example of a nation -acting like an unpopular teenage boy (and being led by one).

We don't need the circle jerk, faggotman. We are leaders.

Again, you are saying to be a leader, the President has to follow what other people think. That makes no sense. The Paris Agreement appears to be a feel good political gesture that will not effect climate change in any meaningful way, but will raise the cost of energy, costing us many good paying jobs and will slow down development which will cause hardships. Unless there is a clear analysis of what would be gained by going along with the Europeans, it would be irresponsible to pay the cost of the Paris Agreement.

Again you don' t seem to understand what real leadership is. What you are talking about has nothing to do with leadership and everything to do with being an arrogant asshole who thinks that you know what's best for everyone so you don't have to listen to anyone. In this situation every nation on earth but 2 had agreed to these things. 1 did not agree because it did not go far enough, not that they opposed it. So then we see that really only one nation did not agree with these accords and that's because its in a civil war and probably not in attendance. So then when you have that kid of agreement between diverse populations of people al with different ideologies and beliefs, it is apparent that things are not as Trump or you think they are.

The entire planet is not getting swindled nor is the entire planet falling for fake science. This is a mistake made by our president and it has reduced our standing in the world.

I've tried to listen to your nonsense, but it is nothing more than shallow end of the pool drivel. You can't even answer a simple question. At least righty tried.

I don't have to answer your endless questions because you aren't really asking questions,. You re the one presenting nonsense here. Just because you say something is nonsense doesn't make it so. If you have to ask what the benefits are to reducing the emissions of a gas that is harming the planet, then there is no reason to answer any question you ask

so you have no idea how warm 10 PPM of CO2 will make the atmosphere? do you? come on, don't be bashfull, tell JC what the answer is.

The change in climate is the issue. Above freeing temperatures at the north pole should concern you.

The change in climate is not the issue. The issue is, will the Paris Agreement effect climate change sufficiently to warrant the human cost of implementing it, and the answer is, no one knows.

Considering it allows China and Pakistan to significantly increase the amount of pollution they produce, I can't see how it will help anything.

The day the USA resigned from being led around by the nose
Barry liked cow towing, another way to stick it to the USA

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

None of the countries that signed the accord are "required" to do anything, IM2...they've signed on to do things voluntarily! The thing that makes it an awful deal is that Obama signed us up to cut our emissions first and by a large amount before countries like China and India have to cut theirs. There is nothing in that accord that guarantees us that after crippling our economy by making our businesses buy more expensive energy that our competition will comply with the accord years down the line. Once again...who would sign such a bad deal?

Leadership starts with the word lead. You lead by example. Lead means you go first. Follow is when you go after someone else has done it. Seems that a whole bunch of CEOs do not see things as you guys do. Including Tillerson and the new head of Exxon. Too bad.

The Proud Tower

You're taking the ignorant power-hungry opinions of a tiny decadent elite of world leaders as some kind of consensus arrived at by the people they rule over. We don't want standing in a "world" that is falling down.

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

you don't get it do you. the products coming in will be taxed. hmmmm you should read up.

Even if they are, so what? it's not like we have jobs here is it? We just buy their shit - they have jobs.

you still don't get it do you? wow, dude, I can't stop your ignorance.

Capitalism doesn't give a fuck if you have a job (but it does care if you can't afford to buy what its selling).

dude, I can't help you. stay ignorant.

Nothing I said has been ignorant. The jobs aren't coming back and whatever you can manage to do a robot will shortly be doing much better.

Ma Bell and the Bell Curve

For 300 years, technology has always created more jobs than it destroyed. What jobs did the invention of the telephone destroy? It created millions. Actually, we need job-destroying technology to free up workers for job-creating technology.

The U.S. Is the Biggest Carbon Polluter in History. It Just Walked Away From the Paris Climate Deal.
