> [@LAZombie](#): > > Trump trolls Thunberg. :D:D:D Because of course that’s exactly what the Chief Executive of the most powerful nation on earth ought to be doing in response to an internationally renowned young activist invited to speak at the UN on a potentially catastrophic global environmental crisis: trolling them. :rolleyes: Compare Trump’s drooling hyuck-hyuckery to, for example, the intelligent graciousness of President Obama when engaging with outspoken critics of **his** actions on a controversial issue, such as [the post-Ferguson turmoil over issues of law enforcement and race](https://www.politico.com/story/2016/07/obama-race-critics-town-hall-225582): > [@](#): > > “I would ask you to consider being careful when there is an incident of not being too quick to condemn the police without due process and until the facts are known,” [Texas Lt. Gov.] Patrick said. […] > > Obama responded, “I have been unequivocal in condemning any rhetoric directed at police officers.” > > He challenged Patrick to find “any message that did not include a very strong support for law enforcement in all my utterances dating back to Ferguson, because I rely on law enforcement to protect me and my family.” […] > > Obama has been careful to express appreciation for police even when he’s responding to instances of police violence. He offered stirring tributes to each of the five slain officers in Dallas […] > > But police have bristled at what they hear as Obama’s equivocation. In reaction to the Minnesota and Louisiana shootings from last week, for example, Obama said he had “respect for the vast majority of police officers who put their lives on the line to protect us every single day.” > > But Obama preceded that statement of support by saying that Americans, “should be troubled by these shootings, because these are not isolated incidents,” and he followed it by citing statistics about racial disparities in the criminal justice system. Remember what it was like to have a President who discussed important complex issues with his detractors, even passionately critical ones, in a thoughtful and respectful way, instead of merely trying to “troll” them with stupid jibes? I had and have plenty of specific disagreements with Obama’s policies, but there’s no denying that in the matter of statesmanlike gravitas and intelligence, Trump is making Obama look by contrast like Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Lincoln, and FDR all rolled into one. ---

Not even Trump can think that’s a good idea - can he? Of course he does, and his psychofants lap it up as if that shit was ice cream. Facebook item this morning reposted by a Trumpite I know: a picture of AOC labeled “Bartender”, and one of Thunberg labeled “High School Sophomore”, with the caption “The Left’s Climate Change Experts”.

Now Trump is saying that Democrats are pursuing impeachment because they are “frozen with hatred and fear.” I have seen similar accusations before- the Dems are united in hatred for Trump! I’d like to submit a little analysis for your consideration. When righties gripe about the opposition, it is usually empty bullshit presented without evidence. "Climate change is a hoax!’ Orly? Why is that? Don’t ask, I said so and that is the talking point. It is just demagoguery, propaganda, pandering, deflection, distraction. When everybody else has a gripe, it is For A Reason. I don’t think the Dems are motivated by hatred- we are going to see several dozen articles of impeachment, each one carefully documented. That isn’t hate, that is a CASE. The reams of peer reviewed scientific articles describing climate change? That isn’t an emotional excess of hysteria or misplaced anxiety, that is a CASE. Am I making any sense here? ---
