(14,604 posts)I can remember how furious I was when the Republicans apologized publicly to Netanyahu for the Iran deal. Think about that a minute.
That was PURE racism. Because my understanding of the Iran deal is they allowed us some oversight to prevent them from developing nukes in return for sanction relief.
It was, I think, the first time I used the word 'treason' in relation to Republicans in Congress.
But you're right - by pulling us out, Trump just made it possible for Iran to go back to development of nukes.
And Paris? There was NO reason, NONE, for Trump to pull us out of this, except just being a dick. The Paris accords were one of O's big accomplishments. One of many.
But, back again to the racists at Fox, Breitbart, Red State and of course let's not forget AM right-wing hate-talk radio. These people have perpetuated the lie that we can either have big oil and all the attendant spills and carbon pollution OR jobs, but not both. That is just a lie. As we transition to renewables, a greater number of jobs will be created than will be lost.
We have to get rid of the white supremacy, the racism, the dog-whistles. It is killing the republic.
