Obama opens his World Climate Summit remarks on a familiar theme
At #COP26 in Glasgow, Obama takes shots at Trump: “Of course some of our progress stalled when my successor decided to unilaterally pull out of the Paris agreement in his first year in office. I wasn’t real happy about that."
In Glasgow, Obama hits Republicans: Biden and I "have been constrained in large part by the fact that one of our two major parties has decided not only to sit on the sidelines, but express active hostility toward climate science, and make climate change a partisan issue."

Oh, hey. It’s me! Just back from a one-week Twitter suspension for telling a joke. 

Even as I didn’t break any Twitter rules, I’m actually glad this happened. 

Why? 

Because it proves everything @Twitter tells the public, the government, and its investors … is a lie. /1
@Twitter First, let me explain what (ostensibly) led Twitter to suspend me. For those who didn’t hear me on w/ @DLoesch, last Monday I saw Andy Slavitt commenting on that day’s passing of Colin Powell. He said the lesson of his death was that everyone should get vaccinated. /2
@Twitter @DLoesch I replied, as I’m sure many others were thinking, with a sarcastic joke that I won’t repeat here as jokes apparently violate community guidelines. (You can read it here if interested: foxnews.com/media/twitter-…) /3
