monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

It's a bad deal for every nation whose leaders are stupid enough or sufficiently corrupt to sign onto it.

On April 22, Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Alexander Khloponin, acting on behalf of the Russian Federation, signed the Paris Agreement adopted at the December 2015 UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Conference. This reaffirms Russia’s commitment to the joint objectives of the international community in climate change.

Trump has granted more lobbyist waivers in 4 months than Obama did in 8 years
On the campaign trail, Donald Trump presented himself as the ultimate outsider who would rid Washington of special interest corruption and “drain the swamp.” And immediately after taking office, he signed a flashy executive order tightening restrictions on lobbyists’ work in the executive branch.

But he immediately began to staff the administration with people whose work seemed, on its face, to clearly violate the terms of the order. Rather than publicly grant waivers of ethics rules with a clearly stated rationale, the White House was simply routinely waiving ethics rules in secret so nobody knew how many waivers were issued or for what purpose.

After extensive back and forth with congressional Democrats and the Office of Government Ethics, Trump has finally provided documentation, and it shows that the ethics rules are plainly meaningless.

You have to hand it to the Christian right. Nobody combines these levels of stupidity and brain-dead certainty like these guys. It's a hell of an accomplishment.

Being part of the Christian Right and being a Christian ain't necessarily the same thing.

I truly do not know how America survives as a functioning democracy when its leaders allow themselves to lie so often and in such important matters.

Former FBI Director James Comey will testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee on June 8 as part of its probe into alleged Russian meddling in the U.S. presidential election and possible collusion with President Donald

Trump's campaign, the committee said on Thursday.

It said Comey would testify in an open session at 10 a.m. (1400 GMT), followed by a closed session.

The former FBI chief, who was fired by Trump on May 9, is expected to testify on conversations he had with Trump in which the president reportedly asked him to drop an investigation into former White House national security adviser Michael Flynn.

If Putin has signed this thing there will be some ulterior motive for it, Putin is not going to **** Russia's economy over a bunch of greentard bullshit.

The agreement was signed by Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Khloponin during an official signing ceremony held at the UN headquarters in New York.

The Russian cabinet endorsed the deal on April 14.

Typical of your open-mindedness. Why do you children pretend you are such open and honest debaters? As soon as any topic gets the least bit contentious you flee.

You mean the same way you deflect and divert away any questions as to the country you call home and the political system you favor? How about the way you ignore honest debates about what takes place in the Military Reserves or Army Basic Training?

the conversation right back to 9-11 and evil America

How about the way you ignore honest debates about what takes place in the Military Reserves or Army Basic Training?

Such childish nonsense, Baldimo. You seize on two things, the first is of no consequence. If it were you would be addressing this same thing to others.

As to what I believe, I an very clear on that, and I express myself on that. I believe in political systems that do as they say, not pump out propaganda and do the exact opposite.

As I said, I've forgotten more than you will ever know.

We know what takes place. That why so many tens of millions have been slaughtered by the US military, the one that, you know the myth, the ones that are coming to save the oppressed.

You have expressed nothing but BS platitudes and hate for the US. It's funny to see you against propaganda but what you spout is nothing but propaganda.

President Donald Trump will announce his decision on whether to pull the United States out of the Paris climate accord at 3 pm Eastern in the White House Rose Garden. You can watch the announcement live on C-SPAN.org when it begins, and we’ll embed a live stream above.

Multiple reports indicate that Trump is likely to announce a withdrawal from the agreement — though many of these reports have expressed at least some uncertainty, including about precisely what language Trump would use.
