The president does to the environment what he’s been doing to us
When he’s not forcing government employees from the vice president to military flight crews to stay at his resorts, president Trump has another hobby, he loves to roll back environmental regulations. Just a few weeks ago he made it exponentially easier for our corporate overlords to poison our drinking water, because apparently potable water is overrated. Just this week, the president and the fossil fuel goblins he put in charge of the EPA decided to tell California that it’s not allowed to impose its own emissions standards. So much for republican respect for state’s rights. The motivation behind his enviro-pacalyspe is obvious. Trump, despite his populist rhetoric, is a rich man’s president. Rolling back environmental restrictions on industry will boost profits because overhead is a lot lower when you don’t have to worry about slowly killing the general populous. The eversion to sensible environmental regulation is not exclusive to our larger, damp … [Read more...] about The president does to the environment what he’s been doing to us

Robert C. O'Brien, the State Department's lead hostage negotiator, returns to the courthouse on the third day of the A$AP Rocky assault trial in Stockholm.Michael Campanella/Getty Eight days after ousting John Bolton as national security adviser, President Donald Trump named the State Department’s top hostage negotiator, Robert C. O’Brien, to the job. A former colleague of Bolton’s during the George W. Bush administration, O’Brien shares many of his hawkish views on China, Russia, and, especially, Iran, which has emerged as a central foreign policy concern since Trump left the 2015 nuclear deal negotiated by the Obama administration and installed a “maximum pressure” policy on the Islamic republic. O’Brien, a defense attorney who advised Mitt Romney’s and Scott Walker’s presidential campaigns before joining the Trump administration, has compared Iran to Nazi Germany and sharply criticized Obama’s deal, which set limits … [Read more...] about Trump’s New National Security Adviser Is Another Iran Hawk
Israeli vote leaves Netanyahu’s political future in doubt
JERUSALEM (AP) — After a decade of mesmerizing world leaders, subduing his rivals and eking out dramatic election victories, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's political future is suddenly in doubt.With near-final results from Israel's election on Tuesday, he has been left well short of the parliamentary majority he had sought — not only to continue in power but also to fend off a looming corruption indictment.With over 90% of the votes counted late Wednesday, challenger Benny Gantz's centrist Blue and White party captured 33 seats in the 120-seat parliament, to 32 seats for Netanyahu's conservative Likud.That leaves neither party poised to control a majority coalition with their smaller allies, leaving maverick politician Avigdor Lieberman, head of the Yisrael Beitenu party, as the key power broker. Lieberman has called for a broad unity government with the two major parties."Judging by the present situation assessment, Netanyahu is no longer capable of winning an … [Read more...] about Israeli vote leaves Netanyahu’s political future in doubt
