[QUOTE]It was just after the sheep had returned, on a pleasant evening when the animals had finished work and were making their way back to the farm buildings, that the terrified neighing of a horse sounded from the yard. Startled, the animals stopped in their tracks. It was Clover's voice. She neighed again, and all the animals broke into a gallop and rushed into the yard. Then they saw what Clover had seen. It was a pig walking on his hind legs. Yes, it was Squealer. A little awkwardly, as though not quite used to supporting his considerable bulk in that position, but with perfect balance, he was strolling across the yard. And a moment later, out from the door of the farmhouse came a long file of pigs, all walking on their hind legs. Some did it better than others, one or two were even a trifle unsteady and looked as though they would have liked the support of a stick, but every one of them made his way right round the yard successfully. And fi nally there was a tremendous baying of dogs and a shrill crowing from the black cockerel, and out came Napoleon himself, majestically upright, casting haughty glances from side to side, and with his dogs gambolling round him. He carried a whip in his trotter. There was a deadly silence. Amazed, terrified, huddling together, the animals watched the long line of pigs march slowly round the yard. It was as though the world had turned upside-down. Then there came a moment when the first shock had worn off and when, in spite of everything—in spite of their terror of the dogs, and of the habit, developed through long years, of never complaining, never criticising, no matter what happened—they might have uttered some word of protest. But just at that moment, as tho ugh at a signal, all the sheep burst out into a tremendous bleating of— "Four legs good, two legs better! Four legs good, two legs better! Four legs good, two legs better!" It went on for five minutes without stopping. And by the time the sheep had quieted down, the chance to utter any protest had passed, for the pigs had marched back into the farmhouse.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=markfu;52300735]So Trump, with the rhetoric in today's speech, seems to be further outlining an "Us v Them" conflict with many parts of the world, ranging from Western Europe to the rising powers in Asia. Wonder how the chips will fall in the coming years. For historians in the future though this will be a pretty fascinating time.[/QUOTE] We're transcending isolationist. "The USA vs. literally The World". I'm not sure what that is but it's a war we won't win.
[QUOTE=BlindSniper17;52300743][IMG]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DBQrEO1WAAEf_3l.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] Why do I fucking bet he signed it without Senate ratification because they would have blocked it because it came from Obama.

[QUOTE=BlackMageMari;52300731]"Exiting the agreement protects the US from future intrusions on our sovereignty," he says. I'm sure Americans in the future will love you "protected America's sovereignty" when the air kills them and the plants die.[/QUOTE] Making an agreement with other powers and then honoring it is not an infringement on national sovereignty, this is fucking newspeak at this point. The right has apparently been conditioned to believe that any course of political action besides screaming "FUCK YOU I DO WHAT I WANT!" Like an angry teenager is an 'infringement on their sovereignty'. It's brainwashing that's designed to take advantage of selfishness in the electorate for the benefit [I]not[/I] of that electorate, but for a relatively few ultra-rich individuals. The working class of america has been played like a goddamn fiddle.
[QUOTE=Stroheim;52300680]I understand that but I don't think slamming his face against a keyboard is a productive away of showing it.[/QUOTE] Stop deflecting you purposefully obtuse twat. You know exactly what the consequences of this are, and you know that you don't give a rat's ass about it, you just want to sit here and play games while everyone else is rightfully angry that our country is being disgraced on an international stage and the entire planet is headed for destruction. I will not stand idly by and try to negotiate peacefully while Trump and his enablers like yourself are holding my country and the world hostage. I see right through your stupid games. Everyone else here does. The joke has run its course. But wait, you people still don't give a damn about that. All you're going to do is keep telling America and the world to quit hitting themselves until everyone on the planet is fucking dead. And then you're going to throw your heads back and laugh about what a good time it was because all you ever wanted was to watch the world burn.

What makes this even worse is that Trump only got the US out of it because Obama got the US into it. His whole presidency is just to stroke his own ego because he hated Obama. He doesn't care about the American people. He doesn't care about his own supports. I doubt he even cares about the members of his own party. All he cares about is trying to reverse anything Obama did because Obama made him butthurt.

I wish I could stand there and stare him in the face and ask him [I]exactly[/I] why the United States got a worse deal than any other country in the world. I would've loved to do it before national television and watch him squirm like the fucking [I]slug[/I] he is while he tries to come up with some bullshit non-answer.
It's time for a revolution, people. We need to be running for office, out on the streets protesting, giving a firm middle finger to Trump and anyone who supports or enables him.

Take a shot for every time he mentions and/or implies it's bad for reasons related to Obama.
[QUOTE=BlindSniper17;52300751][I][B]Good.[/B][/I] We don't deserve it.[/QUOTE] Whether or not we deserve it, we won't win it. Every world conquerer thought they could put the rest of the world under their heel. Even those that made major strides to accomplishing that, they all eventually found that the world rose up underneath them and drove them to their back in short order. Our leg's strength will eventually wane - and the world will only grow stronger from the pressure. This will happen here, too, I feel. We can hold out on this line as long as we like - eventually we'll be forced to agree to something like the Paris agreement. When we do, we'll be far underneath the rest of the world - and that's a very uncomfortable place to be even for one of the world's largest superpowers. You can fight a nation; you can even fight multiple nations. You can't fight the world and win.
I feel like we need a yuuuge list of all the lies drumpf just said.
On the plus side, the countries who are in the Paris agreement still count for 83% of global emissions so it's not like the whole agreement is up in smoke. Stupid decision but the world will still turn.
Wow I'm so glad we've become a second world country.

"Still turning" isn't good enough, not that I am blaming or acting angry towards you for saying that since I get what you mean, but still.
[QUOTE=markfu;52300788]Shame he doesn't hold Town Halls.[/QUOTE] Oh I forgot, republican senators deserve a safe space away from that scary rabble on the streets which will actually ask them hard questions about what the [I]fuck[/I] they're doing with our government.

Liberals are just special snowflakes if they have any.

[QUOTE=Dave_Parker;52300787]Yes I'm sure that's all it is[/QUOTE] Yeah there's nothing he's done to make the idea plausible. Donald Trump is a normal, mentally stable human being.
[QUOTE=Dave_Parker;52300787]Yes I'm sure that's all it is[/QUOTE] You're right. It's also because GOP banks on anti liberalism so hard that any stance liberals take the GOP have to take the exact opposite and that their voters will love them for it because of their burning hatred for anything remotely liberal. This isn't conservatism. This is being completely hateful and irrational.
[QUOTE=Phycosymo;52300798]Yeah there's nothing he's done to make the idea plausible. Donald Trump is a normal, mentally stable human being.[/QUOTE] Now that is something we all can agree on.
I get that Trump followers(it's not about voting anymore, it's about being a god damn fucking follower) are hesitant to so much as question their god emperor in their own minds, but if you fucking people don't start standing up and saying something, you are going to be fucking [B]shocked[/B] when the majority of the world turns on you and stops taking your shit for one fucking second longer. And no, I don't think this is the right way to go about it, but when you're denying the most self evident facts that there are, there's nothing that can be done.
So when are the riots
impeach the orange fuck!
