EPA triggers another toxic spill in Colorado

Once again, the EPA, rather than preventing pollution, is causing toxic spill at a mine in Colorado. Last August 5th it was the Gold King Mine, and the 3 million gallon spill polluted the Animas River. This time, it was the Standard Mine, near Crested Butte, and 2000 gallons of wastewater flowed into a nearby creek. And the EPA, once again, is guilty of misconduct.

But they accept full responsibility.

A meaningless gesture.

They were better off stonewalling.

And many IRS employees don’t pay income taxes but still keep their jobs. This oppressive government is above the law, following the example of our president.

I bet (and do not normally) that the EPA
has a paucity (possibly even Zero) of records on this,
as Ordered by the White Mosque.

The GOP is complicit. SSDD.

The Inept EPA is a reflection of their boss Obama the Destroyer.

Shut the EPA down now.

Trump has to get elected first and I hope he does and I hope that cutting this agency off at the knees is one of his first acts.

What his first act should be I can’t decide. There are a lot in the running. Probably a new Attorney General to start prosecutions.

Yes. Department of education is on the to do list as well. He wants local control of our schools. Wonderful.

Except NYS is nuts...and as bad as the Feds control. Let’s face it...it’s all about money and unions. The system is a mess. I believe NYS is the only state that has NYS Regents exams....though you do not have to take them. But then...No Regents diploma. That’s no big deal today.

Like Reagan campaigned on closing the Department of Education?

I don’t think that it was sabotage, I think that it is stupidity and incompetence.

If you have ever worked with any of these people, you might have noticed that they are completely blinded by devotion to their agenda. They don’t let facts get in their way and they never investigate the possibility that they could be wrong. It is always, damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead.

The Ministry of Love, like the other ministries, is a misnomer, since it is largely responsible for the practice and infliction of misery, fear, suffering and torture.
The Ministry of Plenty hid budget shortages and shortages of common goods like shoes and chocolate, the Ministry of Truth was responsible for lies about Big Brother and the Inner Party and the Ministry of Environmental Protection despoiled and ravaged the country side.

The government:

“If you think the problems we create are bad,
Just wait til you see our solutions!”

Shut down the EPA already! They do nothing but harm and destroy Americans lives!
A criminal enterprise if I have ever seen one.
