Provided he does indeed announce exactly what we expect, it will be, like many Trump decisions, not surprising but still gutting.

Here is a thread for discussion.
UPDATE: And here it is.
"The United States will withdraw from the Paris climate accord--" He pauses for applause. "Thank you. Thank you."

"We're getting out; we'll start to negotiate. We'll see if we can make a deal that's fair. If we can that's great. If we can't that's fine."

UPDATE 2: I am nauseous after watching that address. I can't overstate how extreme a speech that was, no less the decision it announced.
I am indescribably angry at this reprehensible lie to justify risking the planet, turning this nation into an object of scorn in the process https://t.co/7IojrpUqxY

Trump's constant ad-libs about how much he loves this country are making me fucking sick.

If you were concerned that maybe there wasn't a man around to call me a hysteric, FEAR NOT.

You know what I don't need any the fuck more of? Men telling me to "relax" about Donald Trump. https://t.co/LwIz2CU2QE

This, what happened today, is exactly the sort of thing I feared with a Trump presidency, and why I flattened myself trying to prevent it. Lies. Disastrous decisions. Global peril. The United States becoming a pariah around the world.
And here we are. Maybe a few more people should have been as not fucking relaxed as I was. Goddammit.
