I mentioned the other day that the Trump admin was heavily against this, and, now
A fierce Trump administration push to stop the global shipping industry from paying for its own climate pollution appeared to have been successful Friday, as efforts to approve the “world’s first global carbon tax” collapsed.
It had been widely assumed the tax would be adopted during a summit in London at the International Maritime Organization, the UN-backed body that governs global shipping. But after four days of fraught negotiations, countries agreed to delay a vote on whether to approve it by 12 months.
The decision came after a vociferous US campaign, with President Donald Trump calling it a “scam tax” and the State Department threatening reprisals on countries supporting it.
Experts say the collapse of the talks marks not only a significant blow for attempts to clean up a heavily climate-polluting industry, undermining decades of negotiations, but also represents yet another failure of climate diplomacy.
How about this: all the people, particularly the Elites, who are pushing climate taxes and stuff should make their own lives carbon neutral? No more fossil fueled flights, no more luxury autos, live in small homes, etc and so on? Leave the rest of us the fuck alone.
Almost like they were paid – Report Times Square protest ends EXACTLY at 1PM

But we were told there would be MILLIONS all across the country protesting… maybe they are running out of other people’s money.
No Kings Day fizzled out pretty fast.
If not for the news media promoting it, with a schedule of events, video in heavy rotation and reporters on scene it would be just another tempest in a teapot. The 2024 election map says that the majority of the country voted for Donald Trump.
Definitely paid. Family of mine was offered $250 each for 4 hours of sign waving and chanting.
Bullshit.
7,000,000 x $250 each = $1.75 billion
fElon Musk only spent $300 million to buy Fat Donnie’s last election! (Turned out to be very profitable for fElon!)
Who do you feel/believe financed the No King’s protests?
Relax. Fat Donnie will be presinit for as long as he lives.
There’s audio now of RFK Jr calling Fat Donnie a Nazi and Hitler. That’s what Jaded Vance said too!
Bow down, peasants…

Bwaha! Lolgf!
MAGA47 Motherfuckers!
No Kings protest is just code for “my team lost and I can’t handle it”

Close. “Trump is an authoritarian destroying democracy and America”.
Seven million Americans turned out yesterday.
Actually Trump is following the law and saving democracy
Pure delusion, LOL. Then, why oh why is he rigging the 2026 Congressional elections? Texas is rigging 5 Reps for him, MO one for him. How many more?
A partisan MAGAt “bought” Dominion Voting Systems.
Repugs want fewer voters. Period. They hate democracy.
Trump: To my friends, everything; to my enemies, the law.
Jeff’s comment brought to you by… no evidence.
The communist-sponsored No Kings fizzled out, and Trump is still President. So what exactly did they accomplish?
I can believe that there are at least 7 million deranged Democrats who hate Trump enough to give up one afternoon to complain publicly about it. In a country of 330 million (270 million actual Americans), 7 million isn’t even a stretch. I find it funny Democrats are crowing about that as if it is a significant milestone. Based on the number of people who hated Trump and America enough to vote for the candidate the Party selected for them, one could make the claim that an overwhelming majority of democrats now are satisfied with the job Trump is doing.
Cheer up Dems, you can always impeach him a few more times.
FP, the organizers certainly had evidence. At the very least, they have the check stubs from paying all those people.
Rimjob: “Seven million Americans turned out yesterday.”
— According to the “organizers”. —
