And it's just a matter of time before our own glorious leader moves the UK to the same standards.
On the plus side, it will give the vegetarian movement a boost.

Re: Trump
It would seem industry interests have almost completely taken over the EPA and USDA. See here for one of the most cynical and short sighted environmental policy initiatives you will ever see:

For anyone arguing that this level of deregulation is necessary, I invite you to accompany me on a tour of North Eastern Pennsylvania mining towns that are now unfit for habitation and will be devoid of clean water, arable land, wildlife, and breathable air for hundreds of years. This is a fuck up on a massive scale.

Re: Trump
It's a big year coming up for Agent Orange, he's got his Senate trial, the naming of the Democratic candidate, and then an election campaign to run without the courts due to rule on abortion, on the dreamers, on his taxes, anything else big sat with the courts that looms over the coming election?
Hard in advance to know what the big stories will be, especially with the wildcards of Iran and North Korea, harder still to get a read on what it'll mean in a country willing to elect Trump in the first place

Re: Trump
I drove from Chicago to bumfuck Western Ohio this week (don't ask) and there is a metric shit tonnes worth of angry white people that are convinced the country is being invaded by evil outside parties. They stew in their white christian hamlets, surrounded by other anxious crackers, under no threat whatsoever but are adamant that they are losing the country. One mild mannered black man at the helm for eight years just fucked their mechanism. They are oblivious to ballooning debt, a 42 billion dollar loss of GDP and a gutting of the manufacturing sector from a bizzarre self-inflicted trade war, billions of lost tax revenue from an overhaul that has resulted in no corporate tax whatsoever paid by companies that have made over 80 billion in profit and now sees the top 500 wealthiest families in the country with a lower income tax rate than the working class, and on and on. This administration consistently makes more poor decisions than Owen Farrell in the opposition 22, but as long as the xenophobic hot air keeps coming, they are convinced that it is all worth it to keep grubby godless dark-hued foreigners from their culture of jebus, ignorance, gunz, and shit food. They actually adhere ti this white genocide shit. It's completely repugnant.

Re: Trump
Possibly the most worrying thing in there is the reminder they still refer to the metric tonne when in the rest of the world that's surely a tautology, who would assume a non metric tonne if you simply used tonne? That's where the focus should be!

Poorer decision making than Owen Farrell. That’s pretty much rock bottom.

It is usually futile to try to talk facts and analysis to people who are enjoying a sense of moral superiority in their ignorance.

Well a war is certainly a good campaign tactic. I suppose you could call him savvy in that respect.

Re: Trump
So much for disengaging.
Someone needs to explain strategy to this dickhead. If you are going to leave, then do so. If you intend to keep troops over there then don't state that you are going to walk away as that makes you look weak and invites attack. Have clear strategy for f*cks sake.
This is obviously supposed to be a 'don't mess with us message' to the Iranians. Yet its a confusing one given the other messages he and his administration have given on the future of American involvement in the region. Whilst a bit of confusion can be a good thing, this is confusing everyone continually. Iran will probably provide more resources to those militias who want to take on the Americans. More Americans will be killed. Trump then either escalates or walks away. What are the odds that he hasn't thought that through?

Re: Trump
What a stupid fucking cunt. Casually ordering a strike from a golf club for fuck knows what reason. Every decision he makes worsens the situation. Come on America, the whole world wants you to reign this thundering idiot in. At least have the decency to take his social media taunts out of the picture until an adult can try and deal with this state of affairs. Its beyond ridiculous.
