Yeah, democrats, spending trillions of dollars and ending millions of American jobs in the hopes of possibly lowering Earth’s temperature by two-tenths of one per cent one hundred years from now is a real vote getter.

Yes, but it could attract the members of BLM group.

Oh wait.

Well it could attract the Leftists on university campuses.

Oh wait.

Well it could attract the Leftists in the entertainment industry.

Oh wait.

Well, it could attract the sanctuary cities.

Oh wait.

Well, it could attract Liberals everywhere!

On wait.

Yep, it’s going to attract an awful lot of people, who are already Democrats. Snicker... lots of new blood.

At least it WILL solidify a lot of folks in their decision to vote for Trump.

Nice work. No going back folks...

What a bunch of warm beer. Dems are vulnerable in 2018; Rust Belt Dems are going to get their asses handed to them if they support global warming.

Democrats can start filming their campaign ads now starring Kathy Griffin. She’s got no gigs and will work for cheap, ya think?

I’d live to see a bunch of adds heralding the folks who rallied around that piece of trash.

Nail these folks to the wall!

You want to blackball Conservatives in Hollywood.

Well, we can play that game too.

You’re outed!

IIRC “The Great ObamaNation” promised the Paris Accord cronies 100 billion dollars of our taxpayers money.

Good luck with that. I am on a number of forums and I have been surprised by the lack of concern by the liberals. There have been a couple of posts but nothing like I thought there would be. I was already to jump on them but nothing to speak of.

Selling out to a global body at the expense of American workers is really gonna get a bunch of people just itching to vote Democrat next year.
