If I and my advisors had never learned what Science is or how & why it works, then I’d consider pulling out of the Paris Climate Accord too.

Still think the West Coast and Northeast should secede and either form their own country, or join Canada as a special territory. They make the majority of Murica's GDP, and leaving should be easy since middle America and the Trump cult absolutely hates them. Now they aren't very smart so they probably don't realize losing the West and NE would quickly make them the poorest country on the continent, but at least manufacturing jobs would come back since minimum wage would be eliminated and they'd be no regulations at all. So they can enjoy making $2.30 a day for 14 hours of hard labour, but hey no liberals and coastal elites or Hollywood or fake news, and smog and poisoned water for everyone!

American States can't secede. That question was settled in 1865.

If he needed a nudge, though, one came from France over the weekend. Macron was quoted in a French journal talking about his white-knuckled handshake with Trump at their first meeting in Brussels, where the newly elected French president gripped Trump’s hand tightly and would not let go for six long seconds in a show of alpha-male fortitude.

“My handshake was not innocent,” Macron said. He likened Trump to a pair of authoritarian strongmen — Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan — and said that he was purposefully forceful because he believed his encounter with Trump was “a moment of truth.”

Hearing smack-talk from the Frenchman 31 years his junior irritated and bewildered Trump, aides said.

A few days later, Trump got his revenge. He proclaimed from the Rose Garden, “I was elected to represent the citizens of Pittsburgh, not Paris.”

In terms of an actual age to maturity age level, Trump has to have one of the largest gaps in history. Grandpa child pretty much.

Some would argue the American experiment is coming to an end. Trump's behaviors appear to be accelerating the demise.

Macron has been trolling him on twitter.

Unless one were, say, trying to distract the media and the populace?

That might be one reason.

Totally unrelated it appears the Republican administration has asked the Supreme Court to review the travel ban that keeps getting shut down.

The fourth circuit ruling seems suspect though. Part of the basis for saying the law targets religion were Trumps campaign speeches. I don't think campaign speeches should be admissible as the intent of a law passed later. Campaigns are designed to get rubes to vote for you and inherently not a reliable source of fact.

Anything said during the administration would be reasonable to consider

Currently watching House Of Cards, season 5. It is fantastically interesting to watch a show that you know is, while cynical, also very accurate (if somewhat exaggerated). But then The Donald comes along and all of a sudden House Of Cards is no longer exaggerated and is, if anything, sadly mundane and - dare I say - out-trumped!

The travel ban is ridiculous to begin with, but the fact Saudi Arabia isn't included is just the icing on top. No way it should go through.

One can only hope Gorsuch is another Republican misstep when it comes to appointments. We'll soon find out. I'm holding out hope all this crap is a hail Mary because this will all come crashing down soon with the Comey testimony next week.
