Good. He should have made it 24.

[Lastamender]

Do you have something from a credible source?

No, nothing from Hannity or Limbaugh......

As opposed to Maddow and Morning Joe?

Our country has just witnessed two of the worst hurricanes in our history and the work of rebuilding shattered lives in Texas, Florida, and elsewhere has barely begun. Toxic cleanup will be a part of the work ahead.

This is an area dotted with oil refineries, chemical plants, Superfund sites, and coal-fired power plants. All of these structures represent toxic waste and contamination threats during the best of weather times; with storms, these issues become even more dire.

Spills and explosions have already contaminated vulnerable communities across the region. And as operations are restarted at industrial sites, toxic plumes with high levels of dangerous contaminants present serious new dangers. Houston officials have reported high levels of cancer-causing benzene near one refinery, with winds scattering the pollution.

23 Environmental Rules Rolled Back in Trump's First 100 Days - The .

As majors parts of Texas and Florida are flooded, one of the many, many hazards facing citizens of those two states, is the contaminated water running down streets and into people's homes.

There has been a toxic mixing of reservoir waters with the waters contaminated by hazardous materials that were placed in ponds, streams and even some rivers.

Our beloved Trump has rolled back most regulations preventing the dumping of such hazardous, waste materials, and those citizens who once applauded Trump's "courageous" and pro-business stances, are now facing the repercussions of such policies. Parents have been told to not let their children play in such pollution and that if they do, to wash them thoroughly (and of course, with WHAT clean water."

Yes, elections have consequences and the price tag is mighty high.

The hazardous substances weren't "dumped." Hazardous materials aren't placed in the streams and rivers, although some slightly toxic materials will be placed in holding ponds. Hog, poultry and cattle waste is considered to be "hazardous," BTW, even though it's completely natural.

What regulation that Trump repealed would have prevented this?

Let's hear of your environmental acumen. Agricultural waste is natural and benign? Tell that to the men and women who make their living fishing and crabbing on the Chesapeake. Ask them how dairy farms in the Susquehanna valley have ravaged their livelihood.

Tell us the difference between the terms toxic and hazardous.

Tell us how substances both toxic and hazardous have not been dumped. Tell us how those who pollute should be excused because and only because of the paychecks they provide. Tell us how those affected by pollution should pay for remediation and those who caused the pollution should be exempt.

I looked through them, and they are all bullshit

Trump ordered review and "elimination" of rule that protected tributaries and wetlands under the Clean Water Act. Feb. 28, 2017

Poor ol gnat doesnt even have a clue what that rule meant. Lol.

I live in Florida (the eye literally went right over my house), and while I have heard of flooding in some of my neighbor's houses-I haven't heard a peep about toxic waste flooding in. Just saying.

There is no difference, other than the slogans. The policies are the same.

Whether it affects someone else doesn't give the EPA authority to abolish my right to use my property, asshole. There is absolutely no rational justification for giving the EPA these vast new powers over Americans.

And how do any of these regulations being rescinded impede clean up from the hurricanes?

Kind of hard to clean up air and water that's continually being polluted by big business (and others) who by the way, benefited from the lifting of such regulations.

 

[nat4900]

The very idea that access to clean air and clean water is a "political issue," shows how truly fucked up we've become.
