These muthafking SOBS will run this country and the PLANET with their greedy selfish short sighted BS. I am sick to death of ALL of them.
Well of course… because Dallas is just right up the road (by 5 1/2 hours)… besides, it’s not like they intend on doing any monitoring unless there’s someone calling them on it.
More proof for the history books, while other GOP admins worked to stymie and scale back federal agencies, Trump’s reliance on the far right during his election - and then rewarding his loyalists by giving the task to select the most extreme nominees ever - has led to the intentional destruction of agencies and the despoiling of their missions.
Setting aside the joy of the day watching GOP heads explode, the real end for the GOP will be the legacy of Pruitt, Muvaney, Sessions and other high appointees who show regular callousness and contempt for governance, and for the good of the citizens of this country. This move, at this time (in the wake of Harvey) bring the mendacity into clear focus.
Maybe we shouldn’t care about Texans having to stew in the filth of their own petrochemical industry. I don’t know. They have been enthusiastically electing these anti-science charlatans to Congress for years now.
It’s just that there are a lot of innocent people who get hurt. It’s never the unscrupulous polluters.
But, as they say, elections have consequences. In this case, lethal consequences.
Why not, there’s nothing in Houston that could cause concern, right?
No worries as there will likely be a new director of the EPA by 2019 at the latest.
I’ve always taken the same attitude - why in the world would you choose to live in Houston or pretty much anywhere along the Gulf to being with. No more flood insurance for people who insist on rebuilding in the same place. Make them move. Ditto for people in Tornado Alley - concrete walls or no insurance.
If they need people local to the area, I’m sure they can just contract it out to a Houston-based business. Halliburton, for example.
In theory they could be looking for other lab space.
Maybe from someone who would pay a contracting manager a nice hefty finder’s fee.
Fuck you.
2019? I don’t think so.
This is why:
My home for a couple of years while my husband had stomach cancer. He was being treated at Michael De Bakey VA Hospital in Houston and we lived down on Follet’s Island. We had the best neighbors and friends one could ask for. He didn’t make it, but I miss San Luis Pass, Treasure Island, and Surfside Beach every day. Hurricanes or no.
Pruitt must go. If he doesn’t, Trump must go.
I’m convinced that the destruction from hurricane drumpf will outstrip any of the damage from Irma and harvey combined.
