Midknight Review -- new and revised: The lede says, "Trump . . . . wants to renegotiate climate accord." There is a reason why it is an "accord" and not a "treaty."

Reuters:

Exclusive: Trump would talk to North Korea's Kim, wants to renegotiate climate accord — Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said on Tuesday he is willing to talk to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to try to stop Pyongyang's nuclear program, proposing a major shift in U.S. policy toward the isolated nation.

Editor's notes: Nothing wrong with talking to the little roach from N Korea. And, renegotiate the 200 nation climate accord? Why not? It requires the US to do, almost immediately, what it allows the other nations (especially China) to complete decades from now. Worse, yet, this is not a treaty, because a "treaty" would require actual effort on the part of Obama, not to mention diplomacy/compromise with the GOP, something Obama cannot do, in the first place, and refuses to do, in the latter.

In other words, this is an unenforceable "accord," based on a handshake and a promise and nothing more. It is more symbol over substance, an agreement that completely circumvents Congress and the Constitutional requirements of a "treaty."

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."

Trump isn't too bad.
He wants socialist universal healthcare.
In his book, he talks about banning assault weapons, as well as background checks and waiting periods.
He supported Hillary and made a huge contribution to the Clinton foundation.
Trump - asked about his base of poor white Americans, he responded, ""How smart can they be? They're morons."

A lot to agree with from Trump.
