The Caribbean was always overrated as a destination anyway.

Guess having an anusmouth is de rigueur for working for Cockholster.

“We’re checking out of this meschugana agreement, I tell ya! What do you mean we have to sign some papers? We have to get the lawyers on it, then run it past the White House counsel’s attorney …F–k it, we said we’re checking out of it, what more do you want?”

We are withdrawing from the Paris Agreement unless the other 194 countries agree to hold the US harmless from the effects of climate change. American exceptionalism demands no less an accommodation.

In other words, we have no idea what we’re doing or what the policy is on any given day, because it changes every time Trump takes a dump and goes on Twitter from the shitter…

I think it’d be great if Trump blundered into overriding Cohn with a tweet here, just to show who’s boss.
I dare ya Donald.
I’m just a dreamer. Hope they don’t deport me.

A nonexistent planet is not on a collision course toward Earth, NASA and a Christian pastor said.

Oh! Oh! Oh! I’ve got first dibs on all of their stuff! (I want Joel Osteen’s mansion so that I can turn it into a homeless shelter…)

“Consistent with the President’s announcement in June, we are withdrawing from the Paris Agreement unless we can reengage on terms more favorable to the United States,” the official said. “This position was made very clear during the breakfast.”


Just as there is a process to accede to the Paris Agreement, there is a process to withdraw. And that process has a timetable. The United States cannot officially announce its plan to withdraw from the agreement until November 4, 2019. At that time, if Donald Trump is still president and hasn’t changed his mind, he can send a letter to the U.N. secretary general notifying the organization of America’s intent to leave. There is a one-year waiting period before that withdrawal takes effect, which means the earliest the United States can officially exit the Paris accord is November 4, 2020.

‘1600’ should really stop talking about this.

Well, this certainly helps explain why the evangelicals are okay with Donnie.

End of the World!!! …oh, maybe not…

For real, End of the World!! …guess I shouldn’t have sold the house…

This time, absolutely, positively End of the World!!! …um, maybe we calculated the date wrong…

Donnie can be as wrong as he wants, but they are certain he’s about to turn the corner…

Well, now that Cohn’s made this declaration…

In The World According to DT we’re only talking about one tail of the normal distribution curve.

Statistically speaking, when it comes to the World of DT I’m all for dispersion.
The self-dispersion is coming along OK…

In order to move the conversation forward, it might be helpful to indicate the more favorable terms you want, or even the types of terms you want to negotiate, or even the ballpark or sport in which those terms exist. I’m guessing if any such terms exist, they have nothing to do with climate change. But, then again, that’s not the point of the whole “We’re withdrawing from the Paris Accord” bullshit, is it?
