Countries committed to the Paris Climate Accord shaded in blue,
According to the UN's own predictive model, the Paris Accord would cost $100,000,000,000,000 (that's $100 trillion) and the hopeful result is that the earth's temperature will be decreased by 3/10 of 1 degree by the year 2100.
They could put solar power on every building IN THE WORLD for a fraction of the cost that the Paris Accord would be AND it would have far greater impact on CO2 levels.
I'm not against reducing pollution, I'm against lunacy.

Democracy is stupid. In the end our choices for president were a fake crook or an internet troll. WTF is that ****? I don't know anything about the Paris deal. Why am I voting on this ****? I'm clearly not qualified to vote on issues like this. It takes me about 5 minutes to break down a post from JPX7, Julio, Hawk or Bedell. I wish I could just vote for a smart guy who represents my basic principles. It's time to move away from this democracy crap and move back to a republic.

So your argument is that if everyone else is jumping off a bridge, we should to? Is it a good deal based on economic loss vs climate gain or is it a bad deal? Any other argument is just a distraction. How much do you honestly know about the paris deal?

Obstruction of justice
Obstruction of justice is defined in the omnibus clause of 18 U.S.C. § 1503, which provides that "whoever . . . . corruptly or by threats or force, or by any threatening letter or communication, influences, obstructs, or impedes, or endeavors to influence, obstruct, or impede, the due administration of justice, shall be (guilty of an offense)." Persons are charged under this statute based on allegations that a defendant intended to intefere with an official proceeding, by doing things such as destroying evidence, or intefering with the duties of jurors or court officers.
A person obstructs justice when they have a specific intent to obstruct or interfere with a judicial proceeding. For a person to be convicted of obstructing justice, they must not only have the specific intent to obstruct the proceeding, but the person must know (1) that a proceeding was actually pending at the time; and (2) there must be a nexus between the defendant’s endeavor to obstruct justice and the proceeding, and the defendant must have knowledge of this nexus.
§ 1503 applies only to federal judicial proceedings. Under § 1505, however, a defendant can be convicted of obstruction of justice by obstructing a pending proceeding before Congress or a federal agency. A pending proceeding could include an informal investigation by an executive agency.

Yeah I'm being serious. Kerry was advised at DNC levels to contest Ohio.
In 2004 there were issues with Diebold voting machines.
Not a trolling issue. This was something that happened.
It is responsibily assumed JFK won Illinois in 1960 by similar means.
This happens

Objection to certification of Ohio's electoral votes
On January 6, 2005, Senator Barbara Boxer joined Representative Stephanie Tubbs Jones of Ohio in filing a Congressional objection to the certification of Ohio's Electoral College votes due to alleged irregularities including disqualification of provisional ballots, alleged misallocation of voting machines, and disproportionally long waits in poor and predominantly African-American communities.[69][70] The Senate voted the objection down 1–74; the House voted the objection down 31–267.[69] It was only the second Congressional objection to an entire State's electoral delegation in U.S. history; the first instance was in 1877, when all the electors from three southern states were challenged, and one from Oregon.[69][71] (An objection to a single faithless elector was filed in 1969.)[69]

Fun fact, the Clintons used slave servants and laborers while living in the governor's mansion. Literally black men in chains made to do housework and yardwork at gunpoint. Remember it's not illegal for the state and federal government to own slaves. Just individuals.
