"Because satire thrives where absurdity overreaches. And absurdity, this week, overreached spectacularly."
Good evening carbon based calamities ! I’m back once again like a renegade master to try and deliver some form of Martian logic to this thing you keep insisting on calling politics but looks more like an interpretive dance performed on the wing of a plane in a hurricane. Shall we dive right in ? 👽

The Trump administration has repealed the endangerment finding, eliminating federal limits on greenhouse gases.
“This move is poised to break the law and the thermometer.”
This rollback defies science, international law, and public health.

Well, that's pretty certain to violate a number of international laws. What it isn't going to do is stop people seeking asylum in Europe, just as the EUs latest spectacularly inhumane "offshoring" proposals won't. All it does is shift routes, likely to even more dangerous ones which cost more lives.
