Well, true Republicans SHOULD be pro-weed and anti-George Bush. Weed is an almost harmless plant that there is no legitimate rationale for suppressing with state authority. And George Bush was a neocon puppet.

Weed causes or at the very least exacerbates psychosis. It's utterly disgusting that jewish comedians encourage children to take such a potentially destructive drug.

Sure, it causes or exacerbates psychosis in like 1/1000 people that use it. I would never advise anyone to try weed without reading up on the medical issues first - which is why I said "almost harmless" - but still, the fact is that the vast majority of people who use weed don't go crazy. There's no justification for banning this substance with state power. Certainly no-one who claims to support individual liberties should support weed prohibition.

>>83916598
>true Republicans SHOULD
The Republican party is not a Libertarian party, otherwise it would not be in power, as only a small minority of people give a shit about that tripe. The Republican Party is a Liberal Party with Traditionalist aesthetics. Better get that figured out soon so you better know what to expect.

Cont... I should clarify what I meant by "almost harmless". Weed can seriously fuck up maybe 1/1000 people who use it... by bringing on a psychosis. That's real, unfortunately. I've never see it happen, but I've heard through trusted acquaintances of other people who it happened to. However, if you're one of the 999/1000 other people, the worst it can do is maybe a slight risk of cancer if you smoke it, or perhaps some long-term neurological effects. Which could be bad, but we shouldn't just ban all dangerous things.

Trump should be supported for no other reason than that he's basically reversing any expansion the US hegemony was seeing in years prior. I can only imagine this would be positive for both the alt-right and anarcho-liberals seeing as how he's upending the American order. If you've ever felt politicians were just pursuing their own agenda for the sake of what they *thought* was best for the country, now you get to see someone basically tearing up the foundations of whatever we had been building towards. We have a pro-Russian Republican president in the White House - that's literally never happened before in recent memory. He's not only cozy with leaders of Moscow and Beijing, he's also more accommodating of their policies than any president prior.

However you want to spin this, he's definitely different. And if he really does destroy America like the media keeps raving about, then let it happen. Let all the sheltered, idealistic and self-absorbed Hollywood liberals finally see their realities shattered. Let all the insulated Nascar bumfucks of middle America see what it really means to live in a world without US dominance and where no one wants to do business with us anymore after we pull out of all the obligations that ultimately served our own national interests.

Let whatever American experiment the founders started over 200 years ago finally end. And let the world go on without us under some other power. And whatever power after that. Because none of it ever mattered. When you die, you'll stop caring about all of this and you know it.

And I know all of you want this to happen. You feel like the world doesn't care about you and you're right. It doesn't care about any of us. And now it's time to burn it all down.

They're not wrong though when they say he's different. We finally have a president who just doesn't give a shit about the old pacts and alliances.

He just did it to impress him, not intimidate him. China has zero stake in Syria other than voting with Russia on it to piss off the West. Xi actually ran circles around Trump and got him to like him so much that Trump now refuses to take calls from Taiwan and even accepts Xi's explanation that Korea used to belong to China. We'd probably be bombing the shit out of Pyongyang right now if Xi didn't convince Trump that whole region is China's domain.

>“Look, my problem is I have established a very good personal relationship with President Xi. I really feel that he is doing everything in his power to help us with a big situation,”

This was after just ONE meeting with Xi. And he already managed to convince Trump that China was doing everything in its power to help him out so he should do them a solid and butt out of any Asia-Pacific affairs. And except for ONE navigation exercise in the South China Sea, Trump has basically left China alone. Even refused to call them a currency manipulator like he said he would.

China got an extremely good deal out of the Trump presidency, and now they're about to get millions of jobs in renewable energy that Trump is trying to refuse for US industry.

Because Russia still doesn't like their allies getting bombed, no matter how limited and ineffective it was. They gave Tillerson hell for that shit when he went to visit and even threatened to strike US troops if we tried that shit again. Assad had to use chemical weapons to wipe out women and children before we would even retaliate with a limp-wristed response that we were then never to conduct again.

>>83922910
but wasn't pulling out of the Paris agreement a net gain for the US?

>>83923003
We never lost anything by staying in it. Every country commits to the agreement however they want. The net loss was that by pulling out of it, we basically told a world that's moving full swing into clean and renewable energy that we weren't going to lead the charge. Trump did it because he thought he was saving the coal industry, which isn't going to employ anywhere near will mean for the industry. There was no reason to pull and every reason to stay committed.

>>83923152

There were no "resources" involved unless you mean the Green Climate Fund, which is something else. And proportionally, we're one of the lower contributors to that fund in terms of our overall resources. It'd be like a billionaire complaining about having to donate a thousand dollars while there are those making less than 15k a year donating 300.

>>83923499
resources was the wrong word. What I meant was that we were expected to push forward a lot of initiatives in our own country that would be very costly, and we would push much more of these initiatives than the rest of the countries in the agreement.

China is actually going nuclear moron. Renewable is just a meme and a money pit. This is what happens when you swallow CNN's garbage like a brainwashed shill.

>>83923661
There were no obligations. Every country sets its own standard for how they want to approach it. Any commitment to initiatives would have been set by ourselves, in this case probably by the Obama administration, but that didn't mean Trump couldn't revise it during his term. He could've easily done that without pulling out of the agreement. Again, nothing in the agreement was mandatory, there would have been zero consequences to not following through other than the environmental impact. Other countries are actually aggressively pursuing these initiatives. China already cancelled plans for over a hundred coal plants. They're not doing it because they want to save the world obviously, they're doing it because (1) they believe renewables is the new frontier and it's more viable than ever and (2) they're already trying to convert to electric cars and clean energy overall just to keep pollution from getting out of control. They already have massive wind farms producing fucktons of energy that they haven't fully utilized yet because they're still making the transition, but the fact that they're going full swing with this is a good reason for us to want to reap the benefits for ourselves instead of dooming our economy to a dwindling energy industry. Coal is on the way out whether we like it or not.

>>83923843
I don't read CNN. And if you seriously think they're not pooling their resources into wind and solar power together with nuclear, you should probably just kill yourself you dumb monkey.
