Have a holly, jolly Christmas;
It’s the best time of the year
I don’t know if there’ll be snow
but have a cup of cheer
Have a holly, jolly Christmas;
And when you walk down the street
Say Hello to friends you know
and everyone you meet

Did they destroy evidence of abuse and bogus research before exiting?

Its not as good as simply shutting the entire EPA down, but I'll take it.

Leaving while the leaving is good. It’s easier to find a job when you have a job. Trump is clipping the wings of deep state Nixon’s EPA.

One wonders if a kickback train has stopped delivering because these pseudo-scientists could no longer serve their benefactors? If they were serious about scientific inquiry and methods, then any change of administration should have made no difference. Just like the politicians, find what the salaries were for these people with a comparative analysis of the change in their net worth since arriving to the gravy train.

This is the very thing Trump should emphasize. Get rid of the leeches that watch porn all day and then retire with a kings ransom. Whole departments need to dissolve. Everyone is looking at the tax package and saying it will add to the deficit. It won’t if we get rid of people, sell real estate, cancel boondoggles, ect. I would love to hear him announce about a third of the western land is on the market. Cut lumber and sell it overseas before it burns. There is so much money to save and raise, we could balance the budget in 1 year.
