EPA Funding Grants To Clean UP Drinking Water In Red States About To Get Axed By Trump

[Dr. Phosphorous]

I get it... you don't care if our public schools are not working... if you put the dept. of education in the hands of politically minded federal bureaucrats they will try and infuse their ideology into the classroom...

Quite the contrary...look how dirt stupid you are. It concerns me greatly how MAGAs such as yourself are dirt stupid and can't think critically about ANYTHING. It's a huge failure of our education system.

Do you really think it's a good idea to have some arrogant billionaire like Elon Musk and bunch of 20 year old DOGE dumb fucks with access to your social security number and bank information??? How god damn gullible are you??

This is just one example of how your MAGA QAnon religion has poisoned your mind...because you are not educated.

Let the states run their schools... they largely do anyway... so cut out the middleman uncle Sam....

The states do run the schools, genius. The states establish the curriculums. The Dept of Education provides extra money to the schools to help them and also administer nationwide reading and math tests...that's all. The Dept of Education helps the red states more than the blue states.

And if you were educated, you would know that as well.

Notice you don't see governors complaining about this... and the dems will find out that teachers are in favor of abolishing the Federal Dept. of Education.....

Teachers are not in favor of this. Not even in red states. I could show you a video of a bunch of teachers who voted for Trump in Kentucky who are worried about Trump shutting down the Dept of Education.

TDS has certainly shortened your ability to think. You've turned stupid on us

Not as stupid as you. You are a mentally ill adherent to the MAGA QAnon religion. Radicalized and dangerous.

It's your ideas that don't work. You are of a failed leftist ideology. You have proven to be violent (see Tesla protests) and frenetic (you are the party of the terrorist Hamas group) MAGA is the party of Common Sense and rule of law. It's a great thing for the United States that you lost the last election. Now goes the hard work of putting things back together for this country from the disaster of the buffoon Biden. May God bless us all!

All those poor Trump supporters out there....when they voted for Trump, they didn't realize that they were voting to shorten their own lifespans and their family's lifespans.

Yes, MAGA voters are "owning the libs".....and owning themselves also.

The EPA ensures that we have clean water to drink and clean air to breathe....you know, important government stuff.

None of this shit matters in deranged MAGA world. None of this matters in the anti-government MAGA QAnon religion.

For example, Trump plans on screwing people in ruby red Idaho. If a Democrat was still president, the good people of Idaho would still be getting this funding to address contaminated water. --

Grant recipients across the country are holding their breath as the Environmental Protection Agency reviews scores of “environmental justice” grants, calling into question the future of projects meant to provide clean drinking water and disaster shelters to underserved communities — some of which are in Republican districts.

Contaminated water has been a constant concern in Pocatello, Idaho, where nitrate levels in local wells prompted the small city to seek federal grants to build sewer systems in areas without them.

Pocatello, the seat of Bannock County, where two-thirds of voters cast a ballot for Trump in 2024, scored a major win in July when the EPA awarded the city $16.5 million to undertake a sewer project that would greatly improve water quality — not only in Pocatello, but throughout the surrounding valley.

The project is underway, Pocatello Mayor Brian Blad said in an email, but the grant money is not flowing — as the EPA reviews and cuts grants awarded under environmental justice programs.

“The reimbursement system for the grant program is currently not active, which means the City is unable to process any reimbursement payments for the work we are completing,” Blad said. Although the pause won’t cause immediate delays, “we do not have the resources to cover the expenses indefinitely.”

At the direction of President Donald Trump, the EPA has targeted billions of dollars in grants for termination and confirmed this week that the agency will shutter the Office of Environmental Justice and External Civil Rights, created under the George H.W. Bush administration.

I heard a theory on the radio the other day that what's happening is, trump is telling these agencies to cut waste, and to spite him, THEY are intentionally cutting the most needed agencies, rather than the ones that actually NEED to be cut.

In thread quote above, says Trump directed them to cut grant money, but it was the EPA who decided what programs to cut.

Not really. The Democratic Party is the Republican Lite Party. They've never gone to the left far enough, Bernie Sanders style. That's a big part of their problem. They are controlled by the rich, just like the Republican Party.

Look, you MAGA people are fucking deranged. Letting Elon Musk and a bunch of 20 year old dumb fucks ransack the Federal government and they are probably going to steal everyone's Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. The fucking imbecile Trump has shrunk the stock market by $5 trillion dollars in the past couple of weeks with his stupid fucking tariffs.

Trump is a mentally ill dumb fuck up who plays with his feces and doesn't even attempt to govern like an adult. Fucking hopeless. And what is even more pathetic is how imbecile MAGA bumpkins actually take this man seriously.

What's pathetic is Trump could boost the world's economy and stop all the wars and you would still complain. You are THAT stupid.

He could not do that. He is not capable of that.

What part of mentally ill and incompetent do you not understand? You might as well believe in Santa Claus if you are going to believe Trump could ever be a competent president.

You are breathtakingly stupid....because you actually take Trump seriously. He is a mentally ill joke and you are simply not smart enough to understand that. If Trump wasn't born wealthy, he would be in jail right now or wandering the streets homeless.

Damn you really are THAT stupid. The United States is going to be fine, things are already turning around from the disastrous Biden regime. Stock market will head back up, prices are coming down thus far only 40 days in !

gasoline is coming down, peace negotiations going on. You really shouldn't worry about these complicated things with your simple mind, just give it a rest dumbass.

Where is Trump?

Mar A Lago.........AGAIN.
For the 6th time in 7 weeks.

Your dear leader is a walking, talking, lying disaster.

 

[Independent thinker]

It's going to get us faster now....thanks to Trump's destruction of the EPA.

You are not an educated voter and you decided to speed up your own personal destruction. Your hatred of liberals got the best of you. It's tragically that simple.

After everything Biden and the world did, we were still going backwards.

Another sad example of a liberal uncritically running with a hit piece from some liberal news outlet without bothering to do any further research.

Do you have any idea how Democrats have been misusing federal grants? Any clue?

And, a state is perfectly free to test and clean its own water supplies. It should not fall on the federal government unless the state is absolutely incapable of doing the job, which is rarely the case. Many states--yes, including some red states--like to get the federal government to pay for things that they themselves can and should do.

You can't think for yourself, obviously....you have to post a bunch of stupid dumb shit propaganda from some right wing website.

Trump sucks shit and he doesn't know his thumb from his dick. And all people with an IQ above 90 know this.

A person who helps me around my house retired from teaching this year because they could no longer tolerate the bullshit. And in this tiny town, it's easy to learn that the person was one of the most respected in the school, both by parents and by students.

You don't know what you are talking about... teachers are grossly underfunded by the feds.... employees at the federal Dept. of Ed earn way more than most teachers do and teachers know if the states took over for the feds their classrooms would be funded fully... dude the states send education tax dollars to DC and get back less than half... teachers know this...
