EPA moves to kill Waters of the U.S. rule

The Trump administration on Tuesday began the process of formally rescinding the highly controversial “Waters of the U.S.” rule, an Obama-era regulation that gave Washington broad powers over streams and other small bodies of water across the country.

The rule, put forth in 2015 but subsequently stayed by the Supreme Court before going into effect, was one of EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt’s top targets when he took the helm at the agency. President Trump earlier this year signed an executive order directing Mr. Pruitt to review the rule, and with Tuesday’s action, the EPA says it’s finalized that review and will move to permanently strike the regulation from the books.

Out of the countless wonderful things our president has done to MAGA, this one little thing alone justifies my vote and the money I contributed and the time I spent.

Lots of Trump’s winning for the People has been under the RADAR of far too many. The concern troll brigade needs to open its ears and eyes and start living in reality instead of their cozy fantasy world.

True: Every federal agency has trash plus crooks on their top floor offices in DC. A fellow officer who ran recon for us and was recon company CO rose to #3 or 4 in all of US INTEL. He was at our reunion about 4 years back. Only he and one other liberal clown from Seattle, another CPT then, and Boeing type praised Obama. They quickly learned we do not like liberals in SF.
