President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

LOL.

Trump opining about the Edwards campaign finance case on FNC back in a simpler time.

 

1. It'll be a fairly popular rollback.

2. The guy's worked with the EPA prior to Trump.

Az just happened to post a link to a sexy BBC headline. I clicked on it and was familiar with the issue and the dumb headaches (and lawsuits) that came with farmers/developers not being sure if they needed a federal permit to do something around their farm pond because the Obama EPA created confusion around whether they were protected waters.

Once SCOTUS ruled (8-0) that property owners could take the US Army Corps of Engineers rulings to court, a revised definition was helpful.

Now, to be clear, environmentalists don't like it. But they wouldn't. And they're not always reasonable, either.

Journalism has become rife with stories that cite non-profit advocates of any given cause - for tax reform, for the environment, for whatever - as some kind of objective institution of thought. Usually they're not. Usually they have a position, raise money to promote that position, and should be seen skeptically as a result.

 

Too early to call RICO on Trump Administration?

 

Prior to November 2016 I would agree with you about viewing opinions with skepticism. But the administration’s positions are pecuniary with no regard for the environment, or with property owners that aren’t in alignment with trump’s ability to squeeze a dollar from someone else.

 

Pro Publica with a reportered reminder that this has always been nothing but a grift and this entire shitty family (except maybe Baron) are pathetic small time crooks.

As opposed to farmers and businesses?

c'mon.

 

And whatever you think of the Trump Administration rolling back specific annoyances to agribusiness, the general trend in funding the EPA is down.

And the stock market is sliding. All 2017 Fox and trump kept trumpeting that your401K loves trump. Now your 401K wants a divorce.

 

Very intelligente!
