****** BREAKING******Trump Administration Seeks to Avoid Withdrawal From Paris Climate Accord

HERE WE GO AGAIN


NEW YORK—The Trump administration is considering staying in the Paris agreement to fight climate change “under the right conditions,” offering to re-engage in the international deal three months after President Donald Trump said the U.S. would pull out if it didn’t find more favorable terms.

During a climate-change meeting Saturday of more than 30 ministers led by Canada, China and the European Union, in Montreal, U.S. officials broached revising U.S. climate-change goals, two participants said, signaling a compromise that would keep the U.S. at the table even if it meant weakening the international effort. Still, the move would maintain international unity behind the painstakingly negotiated Paris accord, after Mr. Trump suggested he might seek a new agreement.

On Sunday, U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said on CBS that Mr. Trump is “open to finding those conditions where we can remain engaged with others on what we all agree is still a challenging issue.”

I have had it! This ass keeps screwing with the county's mental health. We all know he thrives on creating chaos in his business life and his White House/Oval Office life and now he is doing it with the citizens of the US and other nations.

Just because it amuses him to see others go as crazy as he is doesn't mean we have to allow it. He is INSANE! He changes his mind every two seconds. Ignore him!

I am focusing my energies on REAL problems at hand...like throwing 23 million off of health insur. I am one of them. THE ACA repeal is going to happen since McConnell is hell bent on this win and the GOP must get it! They have been buying votes all Summer and they have 49! And don't forget Pence casts a vote. McCain is going to vote to repeal. I am going to die as well as become bankrupt so this is my reality.
Call Congress and tell them to go to HELL! (202)224-3121 PLEASE!
