Sounds like we just have to shut the whole crooked agency down, burn the buildings, then urinate on the ashes.

The EPA has been a oondoggle since its inception, and has been weaponized by every democrat president in office, since.

Liberals believe the EPA belongs to them regardless of who occupies the White House.

Scotty Pruitt, as Trump's head of the EPA was doing a wonderful job taking a hatchet to the agency from within but in doing so, he violated the rule above and made liberals cry. So they ginned up corruption charges against him because Pruitt was spending congressionally appropriated EPA funds on frivolities instead of using this money to enforce job-killing environmental regulations. Always trying to please his enemies, Trump buckled and demanded Pruitt's resignation.

Trump had a great knack at firing the good people while those within his administration who were actively undermining him all got to keep their jobs.

Environmental Protection Agency is scrambling to write about a half-dozen highly complex rules and regulations.

Declassified: Fuzzy blurred fine print with jail time.

Oh waaaah! Poor babies at the EPA! They are not that much use anyway that I can see.

Can I buy a ticket to watch that? I’d pay money to see a bureaucrat being “worked to death.” And where, again, would that be habbening? I assume the dead ones will get a burial with honors?

Maybe they’re confusing the worked to death thing with the effects of the clotshots they all took?

These EPA termites and maggots are probably all working from home. Doing nothing really. Though they will surface from time to time with some outrageous, economy killing new regulation. Based on an effin’ whim. Based on some rubbish they picked up in college.

Hysterical over global warming, these loser Greenies are what is killing Western civilization. Via over regulation. In California the Greenie saboteurs just tightened diesel emissions for no logical reason. So now you have thousands of trucks and truckers who cannot work there.

New study: California’s trailblazing diesel rules …

But California, the nation’s biggest diesel polluter, cut emissions by 78% percent, despite a 20% increase in diesel fuel use, the study reported. That means California’s engines were burning cleaner. Diesel exhaust contains an array of pollutants, including fine particles that can lodge in lungs and travel into the bloodstream.

I hope and pray that Trump returns to office in 2024 and traumatizes them for another 4 years, good and hard!

Oh puh-leaze. They’re trying to generate make-work. Our air and water are so much cleaner than when the EPA was formed it’s incredible. Now they’re writing job justification regulations for stuff measured in parts-per-trillion for which there’s no proven harm at those minute levels.

Donald Trump personally dragged the EPA scientists behind his truck and then after tying them to trees, whipped them nearly to death with his horsewhip! Republicans are evil.

They want us in caves, Jim. Eating bugs. Biden’s climate goals are horse crap. It’s about control.
