These jackasses have no idea of the chaos this will cause among the grantees.
This is going to PO a LOT of universities. Science cries.
And next - education grants and department of labor work-training grants? Moving the country forward, 2 steps back at a time.
Tell me again, how has the power of government been given back to the people? Of course some citizens complain about the EPA, but it’s mission is to protect “the people.”
Science is a Chinese hoax, dontchaknow.
So they just want to destroy the EPA from the inside, without bothering with any pesky legislation or review.
I get that the Trumpers don’t agree that human-caused climate change is a real thing and that environmental protection legislation is overly intrusive and inhibits economic growth, but this is just wholesale destruction. There is no analysis, just intent to destroy. And this is going to destroy a lot more than an agency.
And if they have any idea whatsoever, they think they are doing good… in the alternative universe the grantees are welfare whores depending on government.
Boy, it’s a good thing there’s no difference between Democrats and Republicans, amiright over here, Bernie Bros? Thanks, fucking morons.
Unfortunately, the red meat Trumplers will not find this a bad thing. Au contraire.
And the red meat Trumplers are slavering in anticipation.
(This kind of reminds me of that scene in Monty Python’s Holy Grail where they are dunking the “witch”…it’s about the same level of intellect and understanding…)
Spite.
This potentially very very bad in my world of environmental geology. I may not have work today that I had yesterday, DOH!
I wonder how Trump’s uncle would feel about this - you know, the brilliant academic scientist from MIT through whom, by osmosis or some strange psychic phenomenon, Donald J. Trump is also, like, smart.
Not to mention the “Green” Party, which has just done so-o-o-o-o much to help the environment, both in 2000 and now, by splitting the left-of-center vote.
Hey, I have relatives I’d like to disown too.
A lot more are going to be wearing PussyHats…
I have knitting needles and I know how to use 'em!
I recall reading that this was the spirit that animated the Nazis: the joy in destroying whatever government had been…
Much less do they care. They are simply mollifying the corporate interests who helped put them in office. Nothing to see here, move along. And don’t drink the water or breathe too much.
Fuck the Environment!
