[Olog-hai]

Congressional Republicans are moving swiftly to repeal Obama administration regulations aimed at better protecting streams from coal mining debris.

Coal country opponents of the rules say they would kill jobs in the coal industry, which is reeling from competition from cleaner-burning natural gas.

They unveiled legislation Monday to overturn December regulations through a process that permits Congress to revoke recently-issued rules in a manner that is immune to filibusters by Senate Democrats. …

Protecting streams, my Obamahole.

[Walrus]

Typical slanted, Trump-bashing crap from the AP.

Time to consign the Associated Press to the ash heap of history.

"Oh no! Not the streams! Eeeeee!"

GO TRUMP GO!

OBAMA sure protected the streams in COLORADO. /s

Seems the EPA has already proven more dangerous to waterways than coal plants.

[DAC21]

No worries the EPA has the streams back...errr no wait!

[stocksthatgoup]

Need regs to protect waterways from the EPA

[Glad2bnuts]

There is more profit, with less overhead guaranteed by the US gubbermint under 0.

[Glad2bnuts]

Isn’t fresh water that is run over coal cleansed instead of contaminated?

[Cold Heart]

Confusing charcoal with coal?

[RetSignman]

They SHOULD go back and undo what Clinton did to the coal miners under HIS regime:

More Fake News.

[libertylover]

Disgusting comment.

[DoodleDawg]

Cue the “Trump is against clean water” media stories.

[Iron Munro]

Why haven’t they already got it done?

They could drag out the smallest task from now until the next presidential election and beyond.

We know that is so because we have watched them get very little done year after year.

And most of what they have done was bad for the country.

Alright, I'm confused. There's a way the majority republicants can take charge of the Senate that is immune to minority democrat filibustering?

Did the republicants just have a bite of the fruit from the tree of knowledge of political tactics and strategy?

Another miracle.
