America First = America by its lonesome self.

who have some sort of "free society/democracy, to those with authoritarian regimes.

Doesn't he realize how people hate him???

Said a bunch of morans

did they think of him as a fellow actor or something?

I don't follow

It's not supposed to make sense. It never did.

that was CIA infiltrated and where these memes were planted.

"However, when it was over, I realized something. I don't like Hillary Clinton or her husband. She does not have my vote. I voted for Bill twice, and he went on to sign NAFTA, GATT, the Telecommunications Act and the Defense of Marriage Act into law. That's on my conscience. I voted for John Kerry, who voted for the Iraq War, because I believed a second Bush term was intolerable, and that vote is on my conscience. I voted for Obama, his drones, his fracking enthusiasm, his TPP and his Keystone pipeline, and all that is on my conscience as well. Not this time. I intend to sleep at night come November."

"Still, my father would have liked to see it. I will watch it for him, smile when he would have smiled. I will also shake my fist at the screen, and remember that it's just a show."

Democratic politicians, do your jobs and save this country. You don't want to face the alternative for your lack of decisive action.

and I don't even live in the states. He is a true threat.

Our lawmakers need to impeach him ASAP.

Simply unbelievable. The CIA needs to take that monster out. NOW!

it really has.

I am 65 years old and never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined wanting an American president taken out - no matter how much I disagreed with him. But never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine that a soulless creature like this monster could become POTUS. I want Obama back so much, I could just cry.

Not voting or voting 3rd party gave us trump....Job well done

"B00 hoo- Neither candidate was nice enough to me so I won't vote..."

He promised apocolypse, and they claimed they wanted it.

I didn't get the exact person I wanted, so let the earth burn.

I hope he burns in hell for eternity l!

Just asking

We're only on day 10. Impeach this monster ASAP, because I'm truly frightened of what things will look like by day 1,460.

right into extinction. Yep. But hey, those capitalists are gonna keep on RAKIN' IN THOSE PROFITS.

You know, every time you lift the rock of human misery and look upon the maggots squirming underneath, it is always one or more old, white, liver-spotted, male hands grasping after MORE PROFITS.

Capitalism sucks and if we want this species to survive AT ALL, we need to start organizing around human need rather than human greed.

In the meantime, I plan to call my Senators and Representative each day on this matter and see if we can get some sanity back in here.

Fucking Trump.

is painful. It's actually painful. It's the equivalent (for me) of waking into their church and taking a shit on the alter. Fuck them. They have no right to kill the planet.

when the Gold King mine popped its plug and the Animas River turned neon orange. There are at least 1,000 other mines in Colorado exactly like the Gold King, just waiting to pop their plugs. The thing is, the EPA was in charge of monitoring all those mines, and Gold King was an anomaly. So, what happens when there is no EPA, no one to monitor those mines? Gold King X1000? Colorado will be ruined. Northern New Mexico will be ruined. Arizona will be ruined. The other thing to take into consideration in all of this is that western CO and Arizona are full of repukes. So what will it look like when Herr Fuerer contaminates millions of repuke's lands?

and your reply was right on. Without the EPA, the water in much of Colorado will go toxic, poisoned by the run-off from old uranium mines, crap like Gold King, arsenic that leaches from the tailings of old, abandoned mines all over the Colorado mountains. I already will not drink the tap water in Cortez thanks to the extensive fracking and drilling conducted around here by Kinder Morgan. Things are bad enough WITH the EPA in place. Without it? Bhopal is going to look like a picnic, and people in every other state besides Colorado can wave bye-bye to their health and standard of living. I am on outrage overload!

100%

and I don't think that many people on the front range really understand the problem these old mines pose. Only half a state away, and they couldn't care less.

The point is, these mines are just a single example of what will happen in the absence of an EPA. If non-locals (even in state) don't care, then how much permanent damage will occur before anything is done?

... Sarandon, yeah, that's right... I'm talking about you.

If they really gave a shit about the planet (as they claim), they would stop throwing elections to the party that REALLY doesn't give a shit.

(G)etting
(R)epublicans
(E)lected

and siphon off as many Green voters as possible?

All you're doing by pointing fingers (and this is true for a lot of people here) is proving and affirming that they have the power to make Democrats lose elections, unless. Every time you blame them for Hillary's loss, you prove to them that the party cannot win without their consent.

From their point of view, Democrats need them if Democrats want to win. To extend that, they've by their strategy proven that with Hillary's loss. From what I've heard from them and from other nominally progressive voters who refused to vote for Hillary- and there are a whole lot more of them than most here are willing to admit- the Democratic Party needs to listen to and cater to them, or the Democratic Party will continue to lose elections.

Basically, what they want is to do to the Democratic Party what the Tea Party very successfully did to the Republicans (using, by the way, the exact same tactics), and they (many believe, correctly) see this most recent election as a "do what we demand, or else" message.

And I'll say it again: from their point of view, they won when Hillary lost. According to their strategy, it was never about electing Trump or defeating Clinton specifically, but rather sending the message in a mission-critical election that they have the power of the kingmakers.

Which, again, they conclusively proved they had such political power by, according to many here, causing Hillary's defeat. Obviously, you agree, or else you wouldn't be blaming them.

So why not coopt their whole platform and cut the whole movement off at the knees? Why blame them, instead, when blaming them only proves in their minds (and arguably, correctly proves) that they have the power to make the whole party lose unless their demands are met?

I'm not trying to give the Greens legitimacy here. You've already done that by admitting they have the power to cause Democratic losses. I'm asking why the Democratic Party isn't nullifying their positions by coopting them wholesale and giving the Green Party voters a more sure chance of political success for their own core issues.

This wording..that the environmental movement is 'the greatest thereat to freedom and prosperity' is sheer insanity. OMG..week 2..

They all believe they will have died of old age before any of the worst effects can happen.

Criminals, all of them.

Welcome to D.U., wendyb.

You don't get to be a wealthy industrialist by ignoring what your R&D department is telling you. They know climate change is real, they're just assuming they're going to be dead before the worst of it hits. Remember, we're talking about mostly 70+ year old men here.

Now how they rationalize what they're doing to their kids and grand-kids lives is beyond me.

their descendants will have enough money to buy their way out of any consequences.

Need more yoga.

I think Trump is doing quite well in damaging America's standing and reputation in the world. We're only on Day 10!

with the boy-potus as puppet of bannons...our country/world is in serious trouble...and ameriKKKans are applauding these two potential mass murderers.....damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So corporations will be free to pollute and the clean-up will be paid for by the taxpayers. That's the Republican version of redistribution of wealth.

Will be delighted to know how much they can damage the planet with immoral climate change inaction.

... maybe offer pictures with caged buffaloes and set up a spa near springs.

The goal is to dramatically increase demand for oil and its prices. Drill baby drill. If stands, this is a highway to the end of the world.

So we are truly looking forward to a dystopian future. And sad thing, republicans are gonna love it cause they all get money from ExxonMobil.

Bannon is fulfilling his mission to destroy the state, destroy the government. Putin is the biggest winner here. Trump is the walking definition of a useful idiot. Dugin's most brilliant discovery.

Actually ANTI-environment

quickly and ruthlessly. up to all of us, ESPECIALLY CONGRESS, to resist the asshole.

Hitler wrote Mein Kampf years before he ran for election as Chancellor in Germany.

Some people thought he could be restrained after winning or that he would listen to the council of careful wise advisers. So they voted him in.

Same with Donald Трампа. His extremism and erratic behavior were all quite visible before the election.

in the debates. But it is not a surprise.

I'm holding onto hope but it's getting harder.

anyone that voted for this is a complete fool

... And that is after 40 years of successes by the EPA protecting and cleaning up the environment.

Can Дональда Трампа remember Love Canal? I'm sure he can, as a real estate developer, because I'm sure he studied it for ways to weasel out of responsibilities in case he got into such a predicament. That was upstate New York.

I am hearing more about this California secession on news radio lately. Well, since tRump started his shit anyway.

I believe we have an approval to put this on the 2018 ballot.

I like Gov. Brown taking a hard line against backward legislation. We'll launch our own damn rockets if NASA won't.
We do have JPL and a few launch sites.

Stay tuned!

Ignore the bluster and look at the policies and appointments. The alternate explanation is massive coincidence.

Mar a Lago. By the time it's completed it will be submerged, a fitting legacy.

I can't even say how much I hate him.

Set up a People's Government with its own laws based on human respect and dignity and fairness and environmental action.

Trump is not content to destroy this country - he's aiming for the planet.

When the world is essentially falling apart between the rainforests being burned, most animal species going extinct, and climate-change-driven famines, sea level rise, refugee waves and insane weather systems turning stable nations into Somalia-style feudal states?

Sorry just doesn't seem to cut it.

I am outraged at so much of what he is doing, but this just makes me want to curl up and cry. Anything he is doing with the environment makes me feel hopeless.
