Smoggalicious!

I dare you to try to spin this in some way that makes this look like a good idea for a free thinking society

Approving every goddamn pipeline ever proposed. Literally this dude is just trolling environmentalism in general. He is not my president. I renounce my citizenship.

Well, this is the kind of anti-science, anti-truth he ran on, so it isn't a surprise. his base is mostly uneducated and superstitious so they want to see the enlightenment crushed. They're a very pro-Dark Ages kind of folks where religious zealotry prevails over reason. I'm sure the irony of how very like ISIS they are is entirely lost on them.

Shock - he's doing what he said he would do. No surprise there.

Why exactly are you surprised, brain?

This is bullshit. Fuck this country

RIP Environmentalism :'(

I thought we would reasonably stand up and not tolerate this crap.

Im an environmental voter. Anyone on this site who claimed they voted for gary johnson because hes the better choice should be beaten to a pulp

There's another word for alternative facts and its called lies.

For Trump anyone that isn't agreeing with him soon gets fired. Ask any of his former employees and the people he nominated for cabinet positions that will find out he wants to replace them for opposing him.

What a crock of shit.

You tried to beat Bernie voters into submission for months, so I will safely say you are not an environmental voter regardless of how you perceive yourself.

bb its your fault, you didn't march with your pink 'cat' hat.

You have no idea about anything I believe in then

Very happy with today's events. It's long over due. For the past 8 years we have had to take it as O's administration shoved tens of thousands of bullshit regulations on us.

Very happy to hear that the EPA is getting a blackout order and that President Trump has approved oil pipeline projects that will create tens of thousands of new jobs and reduce our dependency on foreign oil.

Very good day

The Titanic isn't sinking, it's a Chinese conspiracy to devalue our ships.

ND, are you a human being?

ND GO SUCK A DICK. THIS IS LITERALLY THE END OF AMERICA.

YOU WANNA SCALE US BACK TO 1896???!!! TELL ME YOU DONT BELIEVE IN EVOLUTION TOO

Frankly, in four years, I expect most, if not all, federal environmental agencies to simply not exist anymore and for legislation like the CAA, CWA, ESA, and NEPA (fuck NEPA, it makes wrecking the environment and profiting off of it take longer) to be repealed. I don't know how anyone justified voting for him, but one of my environmentalist friends did because "we should run the country like a business."

He nearly flunked out of the school last year before I saved his ass by writing all of his finals and getting As all around.

How does silencing the scientific community, limiting govt information on our food(USDA) and air quality EPA = long overdue???

Im so freakin pissed. I dont even wanna live in this shithole anymore

It's great. The EPA is a piece of shit founded in like the 1970s. Their regulations are killing jobs all over the country. Back in Southwestern VA most of the coal mines are shut down (where my family came from). People are fucking suffering and have been for 8 years of under O.

EPA needs to be scrapped as an agency and all of their regulations need to be repealed. What happened today is hopefully a first step in reducing and ending that agency.

The pipelines all should have been approved but O decided to politicize it when he was president because his wacko base wanted it. Guess what? The pipelines are approved and tens of thousands of people will now have jobs and our dependency on foreign oil is going to be reduced. Stop crying.

If you don't like it go move to North Korea, it should be marxist/communist enough for you. We are going to Make America Great Again.

ND...since when does media blackout sound not fascistic.

Yes so we can have oil in our water, lead in our stomachs, toxins in our food, rising sea levels, but tons of money in our pockets. Thats the world you love

1896 was a pretty good year. there were no polluting cars or electricity plants, ships ran under environmentally friendly sails, and McKinley was elected president over the democrat Cleveland.

America was not suffering because we were environmentally conscious. America was not bad for having transparency in its food, air quailty, and its freedom of info
