it actually is a lot of work, and at a bare minimum, he would need to align his thought with literally EVERY OTHER WORLD LEADER that climate change is real, which doesn't seem very heroic.

much more likely is trump finally acknowledging that climate change is real while simultaneously championing geoengineering, conveniently implemented by the corporations of his friends and family, while telling his mouthbreathing horde of racist fucks that spewing up clouds of sulfuric acid into the atmosphere was inevitable

xp Trump still has to work with the Republican Congress, so making great strides forward on climate change would require quite a lot of work on his part. Instead, one would have to appeal to his need to show strength and be the most important, the indispensable person. Plus, you must convince him he couldn't actually lose if he chooses to fight. He'd WIN! BIG TIME!

ps I am not saying he would actually be one of the most heroic figures of all time

xp

and I don't know if we know how much leverage he has on moving the party in any direction - but unlike say, abortion, I don't think this is an issue that most lower education republican voters have particularly strong beliefs on. were he to just say 'we're the trump party, this is the trump party's view on the issue now' he would sway a lot of people. that's the thing that isn't a lot of work. probably could change millions of peoples minds w/ like 4 tweets, because his fans are more attached to him than to the issues.

Gore: Global warming is real. Here's why (gives three-hour presentation).
Trump: Wow, big league presentation. I'm having a yuge rethink about global warming.
(Gore leaves, Bannon enters)
Bannon: Global warming is not real.
Trump: Oh. Okay. Sounds good, Steve-o.

Xpost To be fair to Trump for once, I bet many billionaires don't have billions of dollars liquid in cash or easily made liquid.

@realDonaldTrump
Boeing is building a brand new 747 Air Force One for future presidents, but costs are out of control, more than $4 billion. Cancel order!

Donald Trump's Tuesday morning criticism of Boeing closely followed the publishing of a story in which the aerospace giant's CEO expressed concerns about the trade agenda Trump has backed.

The Chicago Tribune published a column Tuesday morning which included Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg's recent comments arguing that free trade is a crucial part of the U.S. economy. Boeing has a lucrative jet business in China.

Boeing Statement on Air Force One

CHICAGO, Dec. 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Boeing (NYSE: BA) today issued the following statement regarding the Air Force One program:

"We are currently under contract for $170 million to help determine the capabilities of these complex military aircraft that serve the unique requirements of the President of the United States. We look forward to working with the U.S. Air Force on subsequent phases of the program allowing us to deliver the best planes for the President at the best value for the American taxpayer."

I had PizzaGate explained to me at a baby shower.

btw Gore did get face time w/ the Yam himself, said it was "an extremely interesting conversation"

Trump appears to be quite canny at saying whatever the person he's talking to wants to hear and making a favorable first impression

I should've been clearer: Gore's words were so deliberately opaque they might just as well be translated as "We're fucked."

Pizzagate
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pizzagate may refer to:

Pizzagate, pizza thrown at former football manager and player Sir Alex Ferguson by an Arsenal Football Club player in the 2004 "Battle of the Buffet"
Pizzagate, a 2016 conspiracy theory falsely claiming the existence of a child trafficking ring involving the Washington, D.C. restaurant Comet Ping Pong

The New York Observer, a newspaper owned by Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, published an opinion piece Friday calling for the FBI to launch a coordinated crackdown on nationwide anti-Trump protests, mobilizations and recount efforts.

Titled “Comey’s FBI Needs to Investigate Violent Democratic Tantrums,” the article was written by Austin Bay, a retired U.S. Army Reserve colonel and adjunct professor at the University of Texas in Austin.

Kushner, who is married to Ivanka Trump, purchased a majority stake in the New York Observer in 2006 for roughly $10 million and currently operates as the outlet’s publisher.

Bay’s opinion piece appeals to FBI director James Comey to “conduct a detailed investigation into the violence and political thuggery that continue to mar the presidential election’s aftermath,” including a “thorough probe of the protests—to include possible ties to organizations demanding vote recounts.”

“The hard left’s violent reaction to Donald Trump’s election is vile and dangerous,” writes Bay. “Peaceful protests? No, the demonstrators vandalize and destroy. They have two goals: intimidating people and sustaining the mainstream media lie that Donald Trump is dangerous.”

I may mean the same thing, but I thought this was the worst one, the most "We are the 80s, and we're coming to town*" - a lot of the language used is very reminiscent of what I remember from then, particularly around Marina Abramović - she's an artist and she works with symbols, wake up sheeple - and the shot of Alefantis watching a Jeff Koons picture - Is this Child Porn?, okay maybe it's not, but should it be on the Instagram of the owner of a child-friendly restaurant?
