Fact: Hillary Clinton received 80% of the vote in Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh stands with the world & will follow Paris Agreement

Exactly why Trump wants to represent Pittsburgh, because 80% of people were wrong, and need better representation.

Exactly the kind of ham-fisted nonsense that's become the hallmark of this administration.

Sure, go ahead and put the entire world in jeopardy of irreparable climate change to distract from the Russia scandal. Cool. I'm sure the Trump cult will eat it up because...jerbs? Winning?

That's how far they will go. There really is no line they won't cross to put their own interests first. I mean, I already knew that, but it's still sad.

This is my concern for Trump and him being POTUS, what lengths will he goto to distract his base as the noose tightens around his neck?

In case you needed confirmation that he doesn't know how government works.

President Donald Trump claimed Thursday that tax legislation is advancing through Congress — even though no such bill yet exists.

“Our tax bill is moving along in Congress, and I believe it’s doing very well,” Trump said Thursday afternoon in a Rose Garden speech announcing that the U.S. will pull out of the Paris global climate pact.

Although no such legislation exists, Trump said, “I think a lot of people will be very pleasantly surprised.”

“The Republicans,” he continued, “are working very, very hard. We’d love to have support from the Democrats, but we may have to go it alone. But it’s going very well.”

Nunes de-recuses himself?

It was less than two months ago that Representative Devin Nunes, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, temporarily recused himself from leading the panel’s Russia investigation amid allegations that he disclosed classified information in what his Democratic critics called an attempt to substantiate President Trump’s false claim that his predecessor ordered wiretaps on Trump Tower.

On Wednesday, the California Republican appeared to dive back into that inquiry, exercising his authority as chairman to unilaterally issue subpoenas to the intelligence community for information on the alleged improper “unmasking” of Trump campaign officials referred to in intelligence reports by members of the Obama administration.

Nunes’s move prompted an outcry from Democrats and ethics watchdog groups, who accused Nunes of violating the terms of his recusal from the Russia investigation.

Seriously why does anyone even trust sports casters for sciences related information or opinions of any kind. It's like asking your plumber to do your taxes. Stupid.

Exactly. Plus, we already have actors to teach us the science, we don't need it from those stupid sports personalities too!

They're still there. They are just replies to other accounts. He sounds like an idiot with the responses though.

Does Rog's perpetual sunburn have something to do with his views on climate change?
