this is from the same artical..........................

"As a candidate, Trump was vocally skeptical of climate change regulations but specifically vowed “to promote clean air and water,” which are overwhelmingly popular causes. But Trump has moved to roll back dozens of rules on these subjects without the changes ever becoming a focus of sustained public debate.

Most of these rollbacks’ impacts will be felt primarily in the long term, but already, particulate pollution is getting worse, reversing years of progress. A team of researchers at Carnegie Mellon estimates that 9,700 more Americans died due to air pollution in 2018 than in 2016, in part due to regulatory changes. But the Trump administration is moving to restrict the range of evidence used to demonstrate air pollution’s harms, hoping to forestall the promulgation of new standards that would lead to stricter regulation."

Funny your article you linked was from 12/2019. Why didn't back up that statement with facts?

You have to love these statements without any facts to back them up.

Pulling out of Afghanistan. I sincerely and honestly thank Trump for pulling out of Afghanistan and Syria. These were endless occupations and I think a vast majority of Americans wanted a more limited endless military commitment to areas like Afghanistan. Obama and Trump ran on a platform of less occupation and bringing troops home.

I will say this .... im 100% convinced if Obama or any Dem did a sudden pull out from Syria or Afghanistan with an agreement to release 5000 taliban soldiers like Trump has ... republicans, fox news talking heads and some people here would be demanding he be removed from office, talking about how he just spit on the graves of the 2,441 US troops who lost their lives there since 2001.

Instead we get a muted response from Graham and Rubio that is buried down below the fold on Fox News. No reporting of the 2 soldiers just killed days after the supposed peace treaty and buried article from Fox on how Trump is the first US president ever to talk w the Taliban.

Both parties suffer from hypocrisy. This time its the Republicans that are wearing it.

............very trumpish of you .Obama brought many but the hating people of this great nation together,the man won in a landslide twice . So while your bias hate filled rant is entertaining it is at the same time ignorant and moronic all so , congratulations.

Typical liberal grade school name calling, grow the hell up. I would venture a guess I am a lot more intelligent than you are. Anytime you would like to take an I.Q. test I am all for it.

I am just sick and tired of liberals demeaning the intelligence of those that don't think like them, and all the petty name calling, we aren't in 3rd grade. I have a few long term friends I no longer speak with because they went half crazy when Trump got elected. G1 seems a spitting image of them. Strange thing is none of them followed democrat party lines 100% till Trump got elected, both of them used to mock and make fun of gay people, yet now I am a "hater" and a "moron" to them because I don't think a dude in a dress belongs in the ladies room.

I consider Hillary the most "despicable" of them all.

Many/most political "contests" have criticism of the opponents. But I remember NO election where a candidate denigrated the constituency of the opposing party until this one.

I was a Democrat and then switched to Republican in 1981. Until 2016 I felt one could have a reasonable conversation between people of the different parties. Now all the Republicans I know are afraid of telling anyone they're Republican. That is not at all true for the Democrats I know. Hillary has single-handedly made communication impossible by reducing Republicans to "despicables" in the eyes of Democrats. And, as well all know, despicable people don't need to be listened to.

As far as why I became a Republican: in 1981, I was working as an actuary and heard all the partisan rhetoric about the Tax Act of 1981. But because of what I was doing at work, I actually had to read the entire document. When I was done, I realized that the Democrats portrayal of it was extremely distorted (for their own ends) and the Republican portrayal was quite loyal to what the act said. Between that and the Democrats ridiculous demands that the tax system should not be reformed (no movement of tax brackets with inflation?) I could no longer be a Democrat.

Hillary's "despicable" remark made it impossible to vote for her, as it also reminded me of the Inquisition. ("You will believe like I do or you're dead or garbage.")

In addition, I lived in Boston from 1975-1989 and saw the beginning of the career of John Kerry. I remember thinking at the time that he was an enemy of the U.S. (I was still a Democrat at that time.) Whenever he traveled he always made sure to visit our worst enemies and do photo ops with them. He also always spoke well of them.

Combine that with the fact that the Obama administration started up relations with Cuba who had tried to kill our family and my father in particular (bomb under his desk that someone else set off) because he was the Chief Consul at our town in Venezuela, and that one of my best friends in elementary school lost his father (an ambassador) to assassination by the Cubans: this action also made it impossible to vote Democratic. Maybe if there had been a change in regime, but it was still run by the same family (the even-worse brother of Fidel, Raul.)

Years ago I had great hopes for Ross Perot's new party until Patrick Buchanon abused the rules to get the nomination. I was hoping for a new centrist party.

In the end, I was happy Trump won last time since it would (hopefully) give the Republicans a message that we don't want religion controlling the platform. My hope was that an old-style Republican party would re-emerge, focusing on smaller government, and not controlled by the religious "hard-liners."

In my view, Trump later wasn't allowed to do anything from the get-go, thus not allowing the voters from seeing what he might do. This I felt was due to the "sore-loser" status of the Democrats. For the magazine "Science", they put in a physicist as the head some time before Trump became president. That physicist was, however, a former member of congress (Democrat) and had been tagged as one of the 17 most liberal members of Congress. (I am not aware of anyone so political having been put in a position of control there before.) So now the magazine is inundated with covers of hungry children and climate change. Many of the articles are now written by journalists, not scientists. They organized a march within 3 months of Trump taking office. In the meantime, Obama was getting a Nobel Peace Prize at about the same time in his term. (Why? I don't know. I thought we were NOT to be judged by the color of our skin.) They are taking lots of advertising from China, and (almost) never criticize them for anything. The magazine now has a lot of the space dedicated to politically active topics, which wasn't the case before, and the scientific part has been greatly reduced.

So if they want to look for foreign influence peddling, shouldn't they also look for China meddling in our elections?

As far as Hillary, I got to meet a guy from Jamaica who works for some banking group covering all the Americas. He told me the Clintons are despised in Haiti, where they did really no good for the people but made it look like they did. He asked my why the Democrats are so focused on helping people who break the law. I had never looked at it that way. In any event, he showed me how things appear from outside the country.

Sorry if this is rambling, but I'm stuck in this "quarantine"...

Final note: I don't like the motives of a lot of the latinos here. My wife told me that she would have had nothing to do with those types in Mexico. (She is from Mexico and is only here because of me.) Where families have a financially-responsible 2 to 3 kids in Mexico, they have far more when they are here because the government will help. I have 6, but ask no help. I would like to have the state pay for some of their homeschooling, however, as we play (plenty of) property taxes and the schools in P.G. are pathetic. When we were in the hospital having the last one, a woman from "Casa de Maryland", an agency for latinos that receives quite a bit of money from the state, was almost fighting with my wife, telling her that she should divorce "her husband" so that she could be a single mother and receive state benefits. When they saw me, however, they immediately stopped and quickly left.

There are many events that I could recount, as I DON'T judge anyone by the color of their skin (my wife is the darkest in her family, which her family makes a big deal about), but by their actions, and so have been in many places where I have heard many things (frequently as the only non-latino at a latino party). I cannot, however, ignore trends, and so will generalize, as we all do, whether we admit it or not. It is crucial, however, that whatever generalizations one makes about a group never clouds one's judgement about the individuals one meets, and it is further of the utmost importance that all receive a fair chance to be treated equally. (I must also add that I became friends with a lot of the black students when I was at M.I.T., and was able to get a view of some of the difficulties they faced, but this email is long enough as is.

So, hopefully, no one will rip me a new one for this post, but since all my posts up to now have been ignored, I may be pretty safe after all.
