Kerry blasts Trump's 'willful ignorance' on Paris deal
The Hill, Jun 1, 2017

Former Secretary of State John Kerry on Thursday slammed President Trump’s "willful ignorance" in withdrawing from the Paris climate agreement, calling it "self-destructive."

"This is an unprecedented forfeiture of American leadership which will cost us influence, cost us jobs, and invite other countries to walk away from solving humanity’s most existential crisis," Kerry said in a statement posted on Facebook.

“It isolates the United States after we had united the world,” Kerry continued. “For our economy, security, leadership, competitiveness, and health, the clear-cut choice was to remain in the Paris Agreement.”

“There is only one reason to instead make this choice: an ignorant, cynical appeal to an anti-science, special-interest faction far outside the mainstream. That is no basis for a decision that will affect billions of lives."

Kerry should ask James Taylor to sing to Trump. Maybe that'll change his mind.

Kerry looks like he has had even more bad plastic surgery. His face is masklike. Creepy.

John F'n Kerry is a REALLY smart guy! Put himself in for enough Purple Hearts to get himself out of Vietnam in 3 months!  That takes talent!

Isn't it telling that the list of losers who wish us taxpayers continue funding rich fatcats like Elon Musk is growing?

Romney, Kerry, McCain, Algore, the lost keeps going.  All of these are independently wealthy, so why don't they just setup a fund to give money to Paris?

And at least two band aids. I always wondered if Forrest Gump getting hit in the buttocks wasn't a poke at Kerry...

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.

Could be!  I can also tell you that every single member of my unit received wounds worse than any suffered by Kerry on a regular basis and just soldiered on.  Most of the time never even seeing the medics unless signs of infection appeared.

Says JOHN KERRY the 'show the enemy your heels PBR CO who dropped a hand grenade into a sampan full of rice, turned his back on it to see his crew hit the deck, and wondered what was going on.

And the 4 second fuse on the grenade went off shooting ole 'Cut and Run' JK in the a** with that deadly Communist fragmentation rice, for which he put himself in for a Purple Heart.

When it comes to Willful Ignorance, Kerry has the 'Experience Needed' to tell us all about it./S

 
My 'Viking Hunter' High Adventure Alternate History Series is FREE, ALL 3 volumes, at most ebook retailers including Ibooks, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, and more.

In Vol 2 the weapons come out in a winner take all war on two fronts.

Vol 3 opens with the rigged murder trial of the villain in a Viking Court under Viking law to set the stage for the hero's own murder trial.

Well, at least it doesn't go back completely to Adam.Seventeenth cousin 3 times removed? What's that? When the vikings raided a villiage, their gn grandmother mother was two villages away or something like that? (Anything past second cousin, she's fair game!)
