Trump Just Arrived In Poland And Got An Unexpected Surprise





/photo/1


Pawel Szypulski of Greenpeace Poland justified their move:

“President Trump announced that the US would leave the Paris agreement but he is isolated in that decision. Approximately 200 countries have accepted the climate accord and have no plans to withdraw. The European Union, as well as China, India and Canada strongly agree that actions to protect the climate must be carried out independently of Trump’s rash and irresponsible decisions. Moreover, many US states like California, which itself is one of the largest world economies, have declared that they will implement the Paris Agreement, contrary to Trump’s policy.”


Greenpeace has been a vocal opponent of Trump since he took office. In his first weeks as President, they were responsible for displaying a 70-by-30-foot “Resist” banner on a crane visible from the White House.

When you say Uncle Joe, I thought of Joe Biden -- and even then, I've no point of reference.

Thank you in advance!

In a thick accent he said it was a 'gift' from 'Uncle Joe Stalin'.

yes it is. And it's about you too. We need the world in our corner in the fight against ignorance and the arrogance of privilege.

The entire world should light up like a Roman candle, like the northern lights on steroids when trolling trumpism.

One day he will be gone, but the mess he leaves behind we Americans will own. Those of us who rally against this, and try to fix it will perhaps not be held in disdain or contempt. But for those who support the contemporary lunacy of the Trump, good luck with that. Even worse though may be the political traveler who feigns concern yet fails to vote. Who complains mightily yet never attends a protest. Who holds up a light at a concert yet can't see the person next to them.

It is about me, I was pretty sure of that and now I've convinced myself, now I just need you to realize it's about you too.

(As they say in Łodz!)

Trump will no doubt find that he and that country are at opposite "Poles" on just about everything.

34. Information on The Palace of Culture and Science
Fri Jul 7, 2017, 07:55 AM
Jul 2017

From Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palace_of_Culture_and_Science :

"The Palace of Culture and Science is the tallest building in Poland, the eighth tallest building in the European Union and one of the tallest on the European continent. It is 237 metres (778 ft)[1] tall, including the structural 43-metre high spire.'
. . .

"Construction started in 1952 and lasted until 1955. A gift from the Soviet Union to the people of Poland, the tower was constructed, using Soviet plans, by 3500–5000 Russian workers and 4000 Polish workers. 16 workers died in accidents during the construction.'

. . .

"As the city's most visible landmark, the building was controversial from its inception. Many Poles initially hated the building because they considered it to be a symbol of Soviet domination, and at least some of that negative feeling persists today. Some have also argued that, regardless of its political connotations, the building destroyed the aesthetic balance of the old city and imposed dissonance with other buildings. This contrast has been lessened somewhat over the years with the construction of several skyscrapers in the vicinity. Despite the controversies, the Palace became an internationally recognized symbol of Warsaw."
