      (article + video) On Trump and climate, America is split in two by
      these demographics</a><br>
    <blockquote><font size="-1">Do not be fooled by what the media is
        attempting to present as a smooth transition of power, a quirky
        one to be sure, but generally falling within American political
        tradition. Do not believe Trump’s condescending tweet damning
        liberal protesters with faint praise. “President Trump” cannot
        end well.</font><br>
      <font size="-1">Political ideology was the single strongest
        determining factor in the election. 90% of Republicans voted for
        Trump, while 89% of Democrats voted for Clinton. Ideology is
        also the primary factor associated with acceptance or denial of
        human-caused global warming, as climate scientist Katharine
        Hayhoe explained eloquently in this video: <a

        No, Everything Is Not Going to Be Alright -  by Ted Rall</a></b><br>
    <blockquote><font size="-1">Trump’s wide-eyed expression as he
        sucked in his new DC digs, pathetically reminiscent of the
        stupefied expressions of Bolshevik revolutionists wandering the
        Winter Palace, brought it home: the barbarians are at the
        gate...</font><br>
      <font size="-1">Before we get started, forget impeachment.
        Impeachment is a political process, not a legal one. With
        Republicans in control of both houses of Congress, the chances
        of Republicans impeaching a Republican president are pretty much
        zero.</font><br>
      <font size="-1">Second, forget constitutional checks and balances.
        Weimar Germany had a lovely constitution, in many ways better
        than ours, but constitutions are mere paper unless they’re
        enforced by people. Current examples: Guantánamo, immigration
        prisons, drone assassinations and secret black site CIA prisons
        are all brazenly unconstitutional. If Trump and his henchmen
        want to trash legal and political precedent, nothing
        institutional will stop them.</font><br>
      <font size="-1">Finally, Democrats who place their hope in
        recapturing Congress in two years need to get real. There aren’t
        enough available red seats for that to happen in 2018. If
        anything, they’ll probably lose even more ground. Trumpism is
        here to stay, for at least four
years....http://www.commondreams.org/views/2016/11/15/no-everything-not-going-be-alright</font><br>
