Red Tide Rick coming to the senate? Clean water in Florida costs money GOP unwilling to spend!

[Toddsterpatriot]

I’m watching these Republicans on TV in Florida whining and crying that we need to stop the party stuff. We need to put regulations in place to protect the water and the environment.

Fuk them

Fuk them

Fuk them

Trump ran on getting rid of regulations that protect the water and the air and the environment.

And now these whiners are whining?

Fuk them. They got what they wanted. Quit fuking whining about it.

Trump ran on getting rid of regulations that protect the water and the air and the environment.

That's horrible!

Which regulation did he eliminate that would have prevented these problems?

Be specific.

Asking R-Derp to back up his assertions is about as cruel as putting the village idiot in a round room and telling him to piss in the corner! Derpie doesn't back things up. He does drive by strings. Posts a bunch of nonsense...get's his ass handed to him with rebuttals and then scuttles off to the next string. It's his "thing"!

Red-tide awakening: How Florida's environmental woes could hurt GOP's Scott in Senate race

Karenia brevis algae bloom causes when inhaled. “You couldn’t breathe!”" “There were days when they were saying, ‘The water’s fine. The red tide is gone,’ and it was brown as poop out here,” Merlino told Yahoo News, going on to describe the burning sensation that an aerosolized Karenia brevis algae bloom causes when inhaled. “You couldn’t breathe!”

A self-described “right-wing libertarian type,” Merlino grew so incensed over what he saw as Gov. Rick Scott’s inadequate response to the red tide that has plagued Florida’s Gulf coast for an entire year that on Sept. 17, he decided to send him a message.

“I got an email from the Republican Party saying Rick Scott’s coming to Venice,” Merlino said. “The day he came it was really smelly. So I put it out there, ‘Hey, let’s go say hello.’ Before you know it, there were probably about 300 people there.”

The impromptu demonstration at a Cuban restaurant called Mojos effectively chased Scott from the campaign trail and was replayed for days in cities and towns that could well decide the Florida Senate race

Like President Trump, Scott has long favored scaling back government regulations he deems harmful to business. To that end, he cut $700 million from water management budgets in 2011, and a year later he signed a repeal of a law intended to prevent pollution by requiring inspections of septic tanks every five years, saving residents the cost of fees.

“By the time the Fourth of July came, the beaches were quite littered with dead fish and sea life, dolphins, manatees, turtles. It wasn’t a pleasant sight at all,” Holic said in an interview in his office in city hall.

Thousands Line Florida Beaches To Demand Stop To Water Pollution

Scott Pruitt's EPA actions a bigger threat to Florida than his scandals

Scott Pruitt must be Russian. Why else would President Donald Trump keep him around so long?

After all, there must be plenty of less-scandal-prone Republicans willing to step in and dismantle the Environmental Protection Agency.

================

See what I mean? Republicans are causing damage to our environment from sea to shining sea. Seven hundred million cut from water management in Florida? And that's small change compared to what the GOP is doing nationwide.
It may barely be showing up now, but by 2020, it will be everywhere. Republicans can run, but they won't be able to hide. Their damage will be overwhelming to the country. We are starting to see it now, but in two years? It will take decades to clean up GOP mess.

TCPalm reports that microcystin can result in nausea and vomiting if it is ingested. Touching or inhaling the toxin can cause rash or hay fever symptoms, it adds.

Nutrient pollution from agricultural and urban runoff causes the majority of freshwater cyanobacteria, or blue-green algae, blooms, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

Blue-green toxic algae invades Florida river

-------------------------

Red Tide is normal out in the ocean. But with so much farm runoff, it's everywhere.
But inside, where the fresh water canals are, there is blue/green algae. People are getting sick, vomiting and so on.

But imagine how much money they saved rolling back EPA regulations. I'm pretty sure Republicans feel it's all worth the stench.

Sooooooooooooooo

How come the EPA didn't stop this Red Tide ?

And by the way...there is a Red Tide coming in November. We will put you on suicide watch.

Rant much? I already told you that the red tide we experienced this year wasn't due to EPA regulations being gotten rid of...nor did it happen because of cuts to government! It happened because of two major hurricanes dumping millions of gallons of water on the middle of Florida...water that had to go somewhere...and that somewhere ends up being the ocean! You can't respond to that though...can you, R-Derp? So instead you rant and cuss as you blame it on Trump! You're still the biggest joke on this board!

you see leftists need to remain willfully ignorant

because that is the only way they can continue to support their position

When I pointed out to R-Derp that the US Senator who had taken the most money from Big Sugar in Florida was in fact Bill Nelson...a Democrat...he ignored that and blamed the problem on Donald Trump who had ZERO to do with what took place!

Right now liberals like R-Derp are trying to portray Rick Scott as this evil person because he took money from the same people that Bill Nelson did. The truth is...Big Sugar pays off politicians on both sides of the aisle...Republicans and Democrats...and they've been doing so for a LONG LONG time before Donald Trump ever even started thinking about running for President!

deanrd ignored facts ?

Color me shocked.

 

[Oldstyle]

Still don't have a response to Bill Nelson taking more political contributions from Big Sugar than any other Senator...do you, little Derpie? How can the guy that took ALL THAT MONEY from Big Sugar for all of these years...suddenly become the guy that's going to pass tough regulations against them? Duh?

 

[Jimmy_Chitwood]

Oh, what the fuk?

I’ll go ahead and explain it.

When there is an over abundance of nutrients you get an algae bloom. So what kind of nutrients do you ask? phosphorus and nitrogen

Hmmm, phosphorus and nitrogen, In other words the fertilizers that farmers use.

Materials that could be regulated but oh wait no they can’t because that would cost money.

What a sissy hissy fit from a butt hurt snow flake.

Funny.

You mascara and makeup are running from your tears

 

[Sun Devil 92]

Yes,

You'll notice that deanrd will go start another thread once this one has been sufficiently shoved down his throat.

C'mon deany....show some backbone and support your horsehockey claims.

What does that have to do with Trump's EPA getting rid of regulations?

 

[deanrd]

Now that I'm retired, I work out of an art studio.

So there is a retired Dentist who just came back from Florida.

He said it was a struggle going from his car to the house because the smell from the algae was making him gag.

He said he couldn't go to the beach because it was covered in dead fish.

I'm betting Republicans would love it.

All that free meat.

Which EPA regulation that was gotten rid of are you now claiming caused the red tide, R-Derp? You make vague accusations which you back up with NOTHING!

Once again...why would Bill Nelson...a man who has been taking more money than anyone else from Big Sugar...suddenly become the guy who's going to pass tougher regulations against them?

That's pretty much gone now, R-Derp! The beaches are clean...the smell is gone. Was it because of some EPA regulation? Was it because of something Bill Nelson did? No...it was simply the ocean and rivers finally returning to normal after the aftermath of two major hurricanes dumping all of that water in the middle of the State! I'm betting you wish it had lingered on...don't you? It's not that you care about the environment in Florida...because you don't...it's because you lose a talking point that you think you can use against a Republican!

Well derpy, I actually have been on the scene in so fla. some people with respiratory ailments are very sensitive to the red tide tide and some, like myself, are not. There are two things going on. The red tide and the nutrient runoff. The red tide is a natural occurrence. I can remember running through miles of dead fish off of tarpon springs 40 years ago. This particular episode is of greater duration and more lethal than ever. I have never heard of porpoises, turtle, and even a whale shark being killed by red tide. They must have ingested too many fish that had died. I have been told recently that the red tide is abating especially with easterly winds becoming dominant this time of year.

The nutrient runoff I don’t know as much about but the pea green stuff is sickening to look at. I know a guide who says the runoff has killed all kinds of grasses in lagoons and inlets on the east coast and decimated the guide fishing. South Florida gets a lot of rain often, so I don’t know why it has become so bad this year, but old style is right that they had to release water from lake ockechobee which then went to both coasts. There are many culprits in this. Big Ag, Sugar, every darn green lawn in s fla. I am a believer that there is a rather simple solution to this problem, whether aerators or even a natural chemical reaction, but people much smarter than me are working on the problem. Whatever, both situations have destroyed a huge amount fresh and saltwater fish. Shrimp are not affected by red tide thank goodness

 

[whoisit]

What's laughable is that Democratic Senator Nelson has been taking Big Agriculture money for decades without a concern about algae blooms but NOW suddenly he's become an environmental "activist"? That, my friends is simply posturing...

Which US Senator do you think it was that took in the most money from Big Sugar this past year? I'll give you a hint...he's from Florida and his initials are B.N.

Correct but it is more than just foreign owned big sugar, it is also the foreign owned huge water bottling companies like Nestles plus America owned Coca Cola and who knows who else.
They are draining the springs so much so that salt water is actually entering some of the springs, millions of gallons a day so so called liberals like PETA and others can suck on environmental destroying PLASTIC bottled water instead of using them.
