The EPA is cutting staff by offering to buy out their contracts. I guess with the US actively involved in trying to create more pollution, cutting pollution controllers is the next step.

I have to say, I used to work for the EPA, and now that I look back, their doom was inevitable, even before Trump. I got laid off during the government shutdown led by Ted Cruz, and he became the most hated human being in my universe until Trump came along. However, I was a Flash developer – an industry that was dying anyway. All I was doing was making animated versions of event posters and such. It was a wonderful place to work, with a fantastic dining hall and a lake to walk around, but I always felt like I was on borrowed time. What I was doing certainly wasn’t saving the planet, and despite the solar panels and fancy window dressing, the EPA was essentially the type of government bureaucracy that could easily be targeted as taxpayer waste. A privately owned corporation can get away with the perks and excess, but a government institution shouldn’t. As much as I regret the US pulling out of the Paris accord, somebody was bound to notice the EPA had gotten too bloated and needed to be scaled back. ---

I see him losing more supporters. I love waking up to good news. Not the cuts, obviously.\* I mean the part about Trump losing supporters. From the link [bold added]: > [@](#): > > The plan to cut financial support for aging and disabled veterans included in President Donald Trump’s $1.1 trillion federal budget proposal has led to bitterness and **confusion** among the estimated 225,000 vets who could lose the payments. > > The reductions may also trigger a political backlash against the president, who made reforming and increasing support for the Department of Veterans Affairs a major part of his campaign against Hillary Clinton. _Confusion_, because the poor bastards actually believed him. :smack: Some of us didn’t. > [@](#): > > “Make that guy in the White House keep his promise to all of us veterans, lest we all fall by the wayside and be left on the battlefield,” said a former Army staff sergeant who served in Vietnam… Who is this guy addressing? What he doesn’t get is that NO ONE can “make” Trump do anything. \*My late husband was an 80% disabled Viet Nam vet. And no, he didn’t kill anyone. He was a Medivac helicopter (Dustoff) pilot and made over 1,000 rescues. ---

> [@Elendil\_s\_Heir](#): > > After the latest terror attack there, Trump criticizes the mayor of London: [London attacks: Mayor Sadiq Khan dismisses Trump criticism](http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-40152637) Yes, I came here to post something about this. Liar snowflake asshole bullshit-artist-in-chief takes the London mayor’s statement completely out of context. Asshole bullshit artist tweeted that the mayor said that, after this attack, the people of London shouldn’t be concerned, implying the mayor said they shouldn’t be concerned about the attack. No, you absolutely fucking insane asshole liar, the mayor said that the people shouldn’t be concerned about the increased police presence. Yes, that’s how Trump pissed me off today. What a fucking loser liar asshole dickhead. I’m angry, and embarrassed he’s the president. Every other president would have said, “Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of London today.” This fucking disastrous asshole bullshit artist says, “\”. Then, he also used this event to push to get his ban overturned, and he called it a ban, shortly after his legal team said it wasn’t a ban. He can’t even lie effectively. What a loser. What an asshole. What a fucking disaster. ---

I was a health aide and I know how much elderlies people depend on getting one hot meal a day and some much needed company for a few minutes .

He can keep selling us out to Russia and they will look the other way. He can shoot people on Tines Square and they would look the other way. I was thinking about starting a thread in GD asking a Trump supporter to defend this distortion of a grieving mayor’s words on the day after a terrorist attack but, (1) I didn’t want to get yelled at by **Projammer** , and (2) I’m not sure I can safely interact with a Trump supporter outside the pit anymore. Not after this. Speaking of Trump supporters, I finally understand **Okrahoma** ’s handle. It’s because he’s in a vegetative state. I really can’t stand interacting with that guy – he’s so disingenuous, though maybe not as bad as the guy who rhymes with orange. I dare not speak his name because I don’t want him here. ---
