Please define your word usage of the term " Gay ".... because it appears you are slandering the poster Sherrif Joe with false accusations through the misuse of a word, or you misunderstand the proper terminology and wish to describe him as just a " Happy " guy.

This adjective, meaning joyful or light-hearted, is of uncertain origin. The English word comes from the French gai, but where this French word comes from is uncertain. There are cognates in other Romance languages, notably Provencal, Old Spanish, Portugeuse, and Italian, but no likely Latin candidate for a root exists. The word is probably Germanic in origin, with the Old High German gāhi, fast or fleeting, suggested as a likely progenitor.1
The word is first recorded in English c.1325, with the meaning of beautiful, in a poem titled Blow, Northerne Wind, which appears in the manuscript British Library MS Harley 2253 (As an aside, Harley 2253 is a very important manuscript. It is a treasure-trove of early English lyric poetry, containing early and unique copies of many poems.):
Heo is dereworþe in day,
graciouse, stout, ant gay,
gentil, iolyf so þe iay.
(She is precious in day
gracious, stout, and gay,
gentle, jolly as the jay.)2
Over the next few decades, the meaning of the word evolved from beautiful to bright, showy, and finely dressed. By the end of the 14th century, the modern sense of light-hearted and carefree had appeared. From Chaucer’s Troilus & Criseyde, Book II, lines 921-22, written c.1385:
Peraunter in his briddes wise a lay
Of love, that made hire herte fressh and gay.
(By chance, in his bird’s manner [sang] a song
Of love, that made her heart fresh and gay.)3
In recent years, however, this traditional sense of gay has been driven out of the language by the newer sense meaning homosexual. Many believe this new sense of gay to be quite recent, when in fact it dates at least to the 1920s and perhaps even earlier. This early existence is as a slang and self-identifying code word among homosexuals, only entering the mainstream of English in the late 1960s. So how did this word meaning joyful come to refer to homosexuality?

If the G7 does climate spending like they do defense spending then why wouldnʻt he consider quitting. Climate agreements have proven to be all lip service and bad policy.
In 2016, Obama knew the Senate wouldn't ratify the horseshit document known as the Paris climate accord.....
White House defends Obama evading Senate on Paris climate deal
By Valerie Richardson - The Washington Times - Monday, August 29, 2016
The White House on Monday defended President Obama’s decision to enter into the Paris climate accord without Senate ratification but stopped short of confirming a Chinese report that he will do so this week during his trip to China.
Still, it would surprise no one if Mr. Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping were to announce the ratification of the sweeping climate change agreement before the Sunday opening of the Group of 20 summit in Hangzhou, Zhejiang.
White House senior adviser Brian Deese said the president has the legal authority to ratify the accord without the two-thirds Senate vote required for treaties. He said the pact negotiated by 195 countries in December is merely an “executive agreement.”\
“The president will use his authority that has been used in dozens of executive agreements in the past to join and formally deposit our instrument of acceptance, and therefore put our country as a party to the Paris Agreement,” Mr. Deese said at a White House press conference.
He noted that both presidents announced in March that they “would seek to formally join the Paris Agreement in 2016.”
“That’s a process that is quite well-established in our existing legal system and in the context of international agreements and international arrangements,” Mr. Deese said. “There is a category of them that are treaties that require advice and consent from the Senate, but there’s a broad category of executive agreements where the executive can enter into those agreements without that advice and consent.”

The rantings of a man who has the whole discussion wrong... His summation of the border discussion is as wrong as his thoughts on AGW.
"“I think precisely because it is so meaningless,” Steyn replied as to why the left is so invested in the issue. “Because if you say to them, ‘Let’s enforce the border’ — ‘What? Are you out of your mind? That’s just a natural phenomenon. We can’t enforce the border. People are going to be coming in anyway.’ But if you say to them, ‘We can control the very heavens,’ that, we can do. And it’s actually literally insane. The less it has to do with your life, the more the left is invested in it.”"
