The trump damage runs deep here in Michigan…

Well…just watched a show on PBS about the hundreds of dedicated people who spend their lives protecting the Great Lakes ecosystem from pollution and invasive species and who are trying to repair the damage that has been done by both of those dangers…one thing that struck me was what one of the people in the show said about how he looks at the lakes and that is that he is part of the stewardship of the lakes, that he is taking care of them for the world, not just the people around the lakes…after all, 20% of the fresh water in the world is contained in the lakes and they include 3 of the 5 largest lakes in the world. So, when I hear that the idiot trump is going to cut all the funding for these programs, I just can’t believe the damage that will be done….when I was young the lakes were just dumping grounds for industry and they have come such a long way that I am just pissed that the morons in this country voted for the idiot who is going to take us back to the bad old days….impeach….

Here’s your reward idiots…

Well….to those of you that live near the Great Lakes and like the idea that you have clean drinking water that comes from them and who voted for trump, here’s your reward idiots. Trump and his cronies are going to close the Chicago EPA office whose primary function is to ensure that no one pollutes the drinking water of 30 million people and they are going to eliminate the Great Lakes Initiative, the 300 million dollar program that was passed to help clean up the Great Lakes and to control invasive species…so, you’ve seen the pictures of the big head carp that have taken over rivers in Illinois and that jump in the air when a boat passes…imagine that enlarged to a huge scale when they get to the great lakes since the program to control them is part of the GLI. You voted for this you idiots,,,you voted to allow polluters to start the Cuyahoga river on fire again, you voted for dirtier water and air that is more polluted and that will kill more than 30,000 people every year…I cannot believe how stupid trump voters are…all of these effects will fall disproportionately on you, you idiots….and you’ll kill a bunch of us with your stupidity, too…impeach….
