Can't you just see the profits? Now that they have a president who can be relied on to sign any insane crap they send him, Congress has gotten to the important business of overturning regulations that have been holding back the mighty power of American capitalism to make everyone rich. Or at least getting rid of some anti-pollution rules that were inconvenient to coal mining companies, so hooray, no more bothersome
They seem to be doing every fucked-up thing they can think of all at once. Evidently it is having a real 'shock and awe' effect on the public. The half of the population that didn't vote because 'both parties are the same' is getting a real wake-up call. Too late.
The only (slim) consolation I take from this is the rather brutal fact that the majority of the people who will bear the immediate brunt of such stupidity are the same slack-jawed yokes who voted for Trump. That's rough, I know, but at this point fuck the lot of them. We'll be decades fixing all this.
Though I want to laugh I feel so sorry for the people who will be impacted by this shit storm. They somehow saw a hero in this flaccid bag of shit. All of us look for heroes, sometimes we have the education and knowledge to find a hero and sometimes, sadly, we find a piece of shit that looks like gold and we grab for it. Time to educate those that grabbed for the "golden" shit. If we don't reach out to the people who voted for tRump this time, they will vote for the same shell game next time.
It did too! Coal magnate Ken Danagger, one of the heroes in Rand's super-capitalist novel ATLAS SHRUGGED, went to work in a coal mine at the age of twelve because he wasn't a freeloading moocher like other twelve-year-old kids (it's there in the book, I take oath and swear), and he rose to be a titan of the coal industry, and also a guy who never relaxed, attended a play or concert or married or did ANYTHING but work, and so was truly fulfilled. He also never died in a cave-in or fire-damp explosion, or contracted black lung by the age of twenty, so you can see for yourselves the novel is one hundred per cent believable and realistic. Many Republicans love it. Go figure.It's their blueprint for the future.
Before you know it they will be sending bottles of coal flavored water to Michigan.
No regulation on coal tips/slag is a particular sore point with me. This happened before regulations were put in place.
The UK Coal Board didn't care until it happened. I'm sure private industry will be much more careful than they were. Profits and all.

Because...Jeebus! He hates the same people they do!
That would still be legislative entrenchment, which cannot withstand judicial scrutiny.

If the Trump administration crams anymore freedom down my throat, I may shit myself.
I thought it was rain water and grain alcohol.
I wonder if 45 drinks Mountain Dew? You know what it looks like...
Don't forget the Christian Right! Religious-Right-Wing-Nutjobs.The Evangelicals are the Fucking worst!!
Just called. Let a voice mail. The woman who recorded the voicemail message sounded pleasant. Hard to believe she works for Death Incarnate.

But it does wonders for your skin.
But that wasn't what we used to do. We want to live in our fantasy of the past. Damn it!
