Trump EPA quits using science. Environment to be run by strictly lobbyists.

Meanwhile one of the Alt-Right mows down a group of people in Toronto.

[JimC]

To be fair, more like a crazy young man - I don't think it would be ideologically driven, or he would have mowed down protestors at a demo...

[pErvinalia]

The "demo" for incels is regular life.

[JimC]

Well, they're disgruntled against everyone, it seems. At least they're equal opportunity terrorists...

Trump supporters take ancestry tests with hilarious results.

....you mean large fires... and beating people up... and hitting people with wrenches and bike locks... and attacking police and police horses.... and rioting and turning over cars.... and interfering with the civil rights of students and others almost on a daily basis... yes, they are a danger.

[pErvinalia]

But mostly because of the fires that you keep posting.

Several times a day I meet or encounter people like you. 

In a conversation about the unquestionably precarious days in this country; someone visibly disturbed by the facts being discussed, matter-of-factly tosses out those words; that sentence that sounds like the earworm of a woefully overplayed pop song, grating upon the ears every time you hear it:

“Well, Hillary would have been worse.”

This is abject nonsense, and if you’re saying it—you need to know how ridiculous you sound.

It’s a continuation of the same tired, misogynistic, bot-fueled, fake news fantasy-land, 2016 narrative, declaring that Donald Trump;
with his pussy-grabbing bravado,
xenophobic tirades,
truth allergies,
intellectual ignorance,
verbal diarrhea,
public bullying,
multiple bankruptcies, multiple wives, and multiple affairs—was somehowever the “lesser of two evils” here.

The idea that Hillary Clinton would have been remotely capable of the kind of wanton recklessness, legislative overreach, and civil rights assaults we’re experiencing right now in America, is so far afield of reality it should come replete with unicorns and leprechauns.

Of course, those delivering such parallel universe prophecies, never have any specifics to offer about precisely how a Clinton Presidency would have eclipsed Trump’s in predatory behavior, political scandals, and legislative offenses—but that doesn’t prevent them from saying it with volume, authority, and repetition.

That’s because these people need to believe this myth, in order to protect themselves from their culpability in creating this national cancer, in launching this global joke of a Presidency, in doing such damage to so many people.

They really do sound this stupid.

Trickledown from corporate tax cuts not increasing salaries. Tax rates also did little.

So it looks like Macron is playing Trump. Here's part of his speech to congress:

"You can play with fears and anger for a time. But they do not construct anything. Anger only freezes and weakens us. And, as Franklin Delano Roosevelt said during his first inaugural speech, 'the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.' Therefore, let me say we have two possible ways ahead. We can choose isolationism, withdrawal, and nationalism. This is an option. It can be tempting to us as a temporary remedy to our fears. But closing the door to the world will not stop the evolution of the world..."

Macron is a moron, he won't make trump budge an inch

[pErvinalia]

Well he seems smarter so far than all the rest of the European leaders. Trump certainly won't listen to any of them. Trump listens to people he likes/respects. Macron could be playing this very smart.
