The only reason why the asshole came up with this plan is because he needed to try to deflect all the shit coming at him over the Philippines finally telling him to fuck off and take Canada’s garbage somewhere else.

Trudope is a total and abject failure, and even many Liberals in Canada are starting to realize what an ignorant, corrupt, disingenuous, conceited, fucking idiot he is.

Here is the USA’s #1 economic partner and ally, partner in refusing to sign the worlds’ environmental, arms, and human rights treaties, and now America’s lone peer in mass incarceration as well:

China has sent around one million Uighurs to internment camps in Xinjiang, the semiautonomous region in western China where most of them live. The figure is equivalent to about one-tenth of the region’s Uighur population.

So 6 US states have now decided to break with the planet-destroyer cabal running Washington! This is most encouraging news I’ve seen in years. Canada’s wonderful liberal government and Prince Trudeau moving in the opposite direction:

If the measure becomes law, New York would join California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico and Washington, who have all passed bills aiming to get 100 percent of their electricity from carbon-free sources — such as wind, solar, hydropower dams and in some cases nuclear power — by midcentury or sooner.

CBS News: if you walk up to a police officer with a pocket knife (which this guy did NOT have ) it’s OK for him to shoot your family:

https://www.cbs17.com/news/national-news/man-killed-parents-seriously-injured-after-off-duty-officer-opens-fire-in-costco/

Joseph Giacalone, a professor at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice and a retired New York City Police Department sergeant, said it’s justifiable to use deadly force even in a crowded store if the attacker has a weapon.

“If the guy pulled out a pocketknife and approaches him, game over,” Giacalone said Sunday.

Published: 06/17/19 03:03 pm EDT

An iconic Cypress tree located in the picturesque seaside town of La Jolla, California, has apparently fallen over, according to local reports. The tree is more than an imposing plant — it inspired an important story by celebrated children’s author Dr. Seuss.

Theodore Seuss Geisel – aka Dr. Seuss – moved to the ritzy beach town after World War II, according to The Smithsonian. He lived in an observation tower, which gave him stunning views of La Jolla, including Scripps Park, where a rare Monterey Cypress stood.

This unique-looking tree is believed to be the inspiration behind Dr. Seuss’ “The Lorax,” a story about conservation, according to the city of La Jolla.

The book, written in 1971, tells a tale of a man who builds up his business at the expense of “Truffula trees” and the creatures who rely on them. It was made into a popular star-studded kids movie in 2012 that featured Taylor Swift, Danny De Vito, Betty White and Zac Efron.

Dr. Seuss, who was environmentally conscious and often wrote about conservation, was concerned about the trees in La Jolla, the city says. He was upset that billboards and construction threatened the ecosystem and was thus inspired to create a story about the fictional “Truffula trees.”

The “Truffula trees” and other foliage illustrated in Dr. Seuss’ whimsical books resemble the greenery in La Jolla. However, one particular tree is somewhat of a star. “Ask anyone in town where the Lorax tree is, and they’ll point you here,” the Smithsonian says.

It’s unclear what caused the tree to fall. The city plans to salvage and repurpose part of the tree trunk and will also replant a replacement in the area. CBS News has reached out to the San Diego Parks and Recreation Department for more information.

Some Monterey Cypress trees can live hundreds of years – but this particular one was between 80 and 100. The fictional Truffula will, fortunately, live on in “The Lorax.”

fascinating response from this guy - don’t put the phone down, “cope” with your screwed-up neck - maybe he’s got some nice prescription pills for you? Or a $20,000 sugical procedure? they’ll get you fixed up real nice…

Sayers said the answer is not necessarily swearing off technology. At least, there are less drastic interventions.

“What we need are coping mechanisms that reflect how important technology has become in our lives,” he said.
