Can we call this the Republican Apology Tour?

"Sorry World (not sorry) that our political system doesn't work, because we're actively working against it!"

Isn't this something that Republicans are normally against? Diminishing the power and prestige of the USA?

It must be great to have such rock-solid core values like "everything is OK, unless Democrats do it"

UNFCCC is a great acronym. I read this as "Unfuck," as in the UN climate change guys are going to try to unfuck the planet.

The parties are just one leg of the tripod of the Electoral-Industrial Complex (the others being media and money) so, no.

Yertl to world: The United States can and will unilaterally abrogate any or all international agreements, understandings or obligations at any time that it is politically expedient to do so.

Well, it's April. And Yertl's a fool. Unfortunately, the joke is on all of us.

They have a zero-sum worldview: For someone to benefit, someone has to pay. There's no such thing as mutual benefit. If we ain't winnin', then we must be losin'.

Ooh ooh! That's always a fun game! Here's Yertl's latest pronouncement run round-trip through Translate:

Given that two-thirds of the US federal government does not even signed on clean energy plan, and 13 states have already promised to deal with this, our international partners should proceed with caution before entering into binding elusive deal.

Wait... that almost makes more sense than the original.

To me it sounds like they're overthrowing the government. It's actually terrifying.
