If You Reject What Pollution Is Doing To Earth-Stop Pretending You Care About Unborn People

@JohnFugelsang

Trump’s environmental policy is still all about rewarding polluters.

If you reject the overwhelming scientific consensus about what that pollution is doing to Earth, stop pretending you care about unborn people.


@GOP
You don’t need to sit through the Dems’ 7-hour (!) climate town hall to know their “plan.”

Here’s the Spark Notes version:

—Raise taxes & kill American jobs—

Meanwhile, President Trump is creating jobs AND supporting the environment by embracing innovation over regulation.

Pence traveled 100+ miles from Trump hotel for this warm reception? Magnificent.

VP Pence was greeted with a ticker tape parade and much fanfair at his arrival in Doonbeg, Ireland.

Full-page editorial in @washingtonpost: "Do something, Mr. McConnell."



“What if there was a mass shooting in the United States not once or twice or four or six times monthly, but every single day, a big one, the kind that electrifies social media and squats for days on Page 1 — would that be enough to move Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell from his insistent inertia on gun safety?” the editorial asked.

“Would any volume of bloodshed convince the Kentucky Republican that Congress faces a moral imperative to act? Thirty-eight people were slain in three such shootings in August — in Dayton, Ohio, and El Paso, as well as West Texas — and still Senate Republicans and President Trump refuse to act,” it added.
