California Gov. Jerry Brown on Monday called President Donald Trump’s approach to climate change and North Korea “stupid and dangerous and silly,” sharpening his criticism of the president and comparing his supporters to ignorant cave dwellers.
“They’re both kind of very similar,” Brown said at a climate change event in New York. “You should check out the derivation of ‘Trump-ite’ and ‘troglodyte,’ because they both refer to people who dwell in deep, dark caves.”
Brown, the Democratic governor of the nation’s most populous state, has been rushing to recruit other state and local governments to sign onto their own non-binding climate agreements in defiance of Trump. At an event coinciding with the United Nations meeting in New York, Brown said Trump’s election has made it easier to promote climate-related policies, with the rise of a “real adversary that is not believable, is not credible.”
“President Trump is the null hypothesis, which he’s proven,” Brown said. “Everything he’s doing is … stupid and dangerous and silly. I mean, come on, really, calling the North Korean dictator ‘Rocket Man?’ … He is accelerating the reversal through his own absurdity.”
While acknowledging he was making “lemonade out of a lemon,” Brown predicted Trump will “fail very soon” in the face of economic and other international forces.
“These other powers are going to gang up on Mr. Trump, and he’s going to find out, ‘You’re fired,’” Brown said.
Trump has called climate change a hoax and earlier this year announced he will withdraw the United States from the Paris climate agreement. Many Republicans have argued the cost of reducing greenhouse gas emissions is unduly burdensome.
Brown, touching off several days of climate talks, said of the opposition to Trump on climate change, “It takes what we’re doing today and this week, and all the other things that we have to do to finally put the nail in, I don’t want to say in Trump’s coffin … That’s a tweet, so I better not do that. But we’re getting there. We’re making change. So I’m very optimistic in the face of Washington’s absent leadership.”
I’m deplorable, not ignorant.
I believe that, when the true voter fraud committed in CA thanks to Moonbeam and his vermin cohorts is exposed, the total vote for Trump will be an even higher percentage.
LA County illegal votes must be through the roof and, God willing, the truth will be exposed.
This moron is a dbl-tap candidate...
Yes, and he has no right to govern in the first place:
He got in on a disputable technicality in a communist state.
Are troglodytes required to pay California taxes?
No Jerry that is you and your dumb@ss fellow cult like followers.
Jerry does know that the jurisdiction of the 9th circus is the part of the US that first comes into the range of Rocket Man’s nukes? And a 250kT nuke centered on, say, Treasure Island, won’t leave much of the Bay Area standing.
“I’m not hungry.”
Democrats are further isolating themselves from all others through this type of bigotry
Gov. Moonbeam is chasing after rainbows.
Sounds like Moonbeam is on mushrooms.
He presides over Mexifornia.
They don’t want to be part of the USA.
The prospect of a Nork nuke cratering Sacramento & Gov. Moonbeam with it could just start a Kim Jong Fatso fan club right here on FR.
Membership will consist of FReepers who once thought that Vlad Putin was hot stuff compared to the effete Obama.
Anyway, check out that CA state map of the entire San Andreas Fault. Instant very long island if it ever separated.
If democrats were not so ignorant of the scientific method the commies would get no traction on ‘climate change’.
No one with a BS or better has ever said “the science is settled”.
My BS is in Biology, we tend to be less arrogant.
I HATE my home state now.
So now I am a cave dwelling, Bible and gun toting, deplorable...and PROUD OF IT! :)””
I am one who left California 13 years ago & WILL NEVER GO BACK-—except to help caravan friends out when they finally decide they have had enough.
I don't mean to say something favorable to Jerry Brown, but I'd give that award to Willie Brown.
Speaking of Willies, and Browns (and Greens?) and trains (that don't make it past the Grapevine even though it was politically sold to link LA & SF by High_Speed choo-choo rail) --- uh, boy, almost has the makings of a bad reprise of a country-western song...
Thanks for nothing Jerry, you Jesuitically-educated über dumb Ass! So Full Of Vision ya' can't see & hear the rip-offs coming even though they came in honking from over the frickin' hill, miles away. Way to go. Bankrupt the State why don't you? And all for what?
But what difference at this point does it make? It ain't Trump's fault crazy little Kimmee has nukes. And now were stuck with the Bent One's triangulations. Joke's on you Jerry. Boom. It ain't very funny now, is it? We tried to warn you guys, but noooo...
Eat shit, Brown, er eat Brown shit....either way.
He is not my President. Hell, he is not my
governor, either.
As A Californian, I can shout from the rooftops that I would rather be a caveman than the dumb ass governor of California.
