Accurate but over-intellectualizes his position. One man's checks and balances is another man's swamp.

No, the Republican motto is "We're dumb as rocks, and we do whatever our corporate masters tell us." Isn't that to long of a motto for dumb as a rock party? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/jul/24/poland-president-to-veto-controversial-laws-amid-protests Sharp_one whats wrong with your ruling party? Why do some members of your government think they should have the right to appoint members of the supreme court and judiciary....this was an unacceptable expectation that was set and would never be tolerated in a Democratic institution like the EU That wasn't the real problem Bruce. The real travesty was the idea that they would appoint all of the new judges. That went too far even for some of their own supporters.

It's an enormous expense for very little gain. You are right about it being logical next step tho.

Please tell me this wasn't serious. People understand that Chernobyl is shut down. Right?

So what did Austria do to warrant flagging by Brussels?

I hate to break it to you but that's Triad Wars. A multiplayer spin-off that was never released. Sadly no Sleeping Dogs 2 will be happening since developer got shut down.

No, it's objectives may be political and unenforceable but it was supposed to show intent of flighting global warming. 0.3 degrees in the next 87 years! We think! Oh noes! The agreement was far more important in setting trends. The target numbers were pulled out of the ass anyway. US is not just a major polluter but also technological leader and the only developed country expected to keep growing it's population. And for all we know this may set a precedent and turn it into another Kyoto.

Retreating from Paris is not as easy as signing an executive action. It would take 4 years and make US a international pariah. He might just effectively weaken it into complete irrelevance instead. Most of it is non-binding wishful thinking anyway.

That's a pretty natural counter-reaction. Rebelling against propaganda leads people to embrace craziest causes.

volo you are offending the land of your ancestors ? Dont you have any loyalty ? The guy who wants to kick out 2-3 countries of UE has won. What sustainability is this? Who does he want to kick out? I know he has been taking jabs at Poland so I imagine Hungary would also make the list. But I doubt it was anything more than election rhetoric.

It establishes historical context for slavery, repression and exploitation in general. Something both sides like to cheery-pick to push their agenda.

Thanks. That's a really interesting way of looking at change in media.

That was as rational reaction as you can expect from US in this context. And it has very little to do with situation in Syria. It's just a warning to stop making them look ridiculous. Give the administration I'll gladly take a good thing done for wrong reasons.

Unfortunate that it had to be done by Trump as if feeds into his strongman image but better this than nothing. Assad was testing red lines for quite a while now and showed no signs of stopping.

I see aztecish pyramids and lizard folk... is this Lustria? The continent in Warhammer world that is the equivalent of South America? Holy ****e. If leaks are correct new world and ulthuan are entirety of 2nd game. 3rd game is supposed to be Chaos divided provided there will be interest still.

That and EO about letting coal companies blowing up the tops of mountains are my expected dissapointments with Trump. It's seems like it is impossible to have a sane energy policy in the US, as either you subsidize "cool" technology but leaving whole regions of people to rot away in societal dispair, or you let companies go full haywire and blow everything up as long as it makes job growth. ...and i am also dissapointed that he hasn't told the Saudis to go **** themselves. It's pretty much impossible to have a sane energy policy anywhere. There is far too much money on the line for all concerned. Speaking of which: Trump plans to end the clean power plan Efficiency standards are likely next. Luckily he seems to have given up on refuting Paris agreement.

Most likely research, efficiency and clean power plan. Makes sense as technically they are separate programs.

Aren't you even a bit curious where things are heading? Middle-ground in politics has been slowly disappearing for a while now. This thread may be a glimpse into political future of US.

Interesting but that's US migration profile. If anyone has numbers on say French Algerian migrants that would be more relevant.

Interesting crowdsourcing summary for 2016.

You can easily turn that around and say that the problem is really us. First world humans refusing to give up their standards of life. Shining examples of responsibility that Asians and Africans aspire to become.

That would require Trump to implement effective policy and maintain power for a longer period of time. In the long run converting larger number of Hispanics and reconciling them with Trump-style nativists seems very unlikely.

I was all the with you when you complained about Brietbart. But then you had to bring up the echo-chambers of reddit as a reliable news source...

America first energy plan website is up. TLDR: more shale / reviving clean coal / going for energy independence and "refocusing" of EPA. Seems Trump believes everything he said about climate change.

PBS has been known to run somewhat politicized material against their beliefs.
