It doesn’t need to be dismantled entirely.... but it does need to be brought down from an angry 16,000 pound fire-breathing dragon defending every possible DNA strand on earth into a proper cooperative body that helps balance the environment with the needs of farmers and industry.

I hope he cuts the fools off at the knees.

They were not just leaking they have been spewing crap since Friday to push out their barky agenda as much and as fast as they could.

This is a VERY GOOD portent. It means a purge of the agency is likely already in progress.

From here on out, if they have something to say, they will say it to our Commander in Chief. Not the lying media. The lying media is no longer a collusive department of this government.

Before dissolving the EPA he should first transfer all the belligerent lefties from other agencies to it.

Interesting: In the article, Trump says he’s an environmentalist.

I’ve always considered myself an environmentalist, too. But what separates me (and I hope Trump) from leftwing “environmentalists” are:

1. I believe that any action taken to protect the environment should do exactly that. Not nonsense like carbon credit swaps whose main goal is to line the pockets of Al Gore and his ilk.

2. I believe that action taken to protect the environment should be undertaken with common sense. It should address real problems, not fake hysteria. Costs should be sensible. We should not be spending millions of dollars of taxpayer money on wacky schemes that are unlikely to succeed or to have very little effect on the issue.

There are probably many more issues where I break with leftwing “environmentalists”, but these are 2 big ones.

(And as a side point, I have noticed that the people who shout the loudest about the environment are very often the most likely to litter and to use disposables. It was the lefties I knew who first jumped on board with carrying plastic bottles of water everywhere. Then when it became fashionable to denounce the bottles as environmental hazards, they jumped on that bandwagon, too.)

Trump did promise to make filing taxes so simple that H&R Block would go out of business.

The best thing about Trum is his energy and work ethic. You KNOW he’s capable of focusing hard on 10 or 20 different things simultaneously. Heh heh...

I’m winful and winsome. Do you ever pinch yourself, how we live now, and wonder if it’s all just a dream?
