Let's Stop Saying that Scott Pruitt is Cutting Regulations

They may be regulations on businesses but... they are protections for our citizens and the environment.

Everybody hates regulations. We need to change the dialog.

He is trading our safety and our future to support business profits.

which is being used as the principle source of policy in the trump admin. Thats why when we had to put up with "can't vote for the lesser of 2 evils", those of us who understand what was going on, knew when trump was sworn in, this would be the hell unleashed on america and the world.....the people who refused to vote or voted 3rd party gave us trump and the subsequent dismantling of america and hold the bulk of the responsibility of what is happening....

This is still only the beginning.

GOP billionaires, our American oligarchs, control the GOP.

The $3T tax cut we just put on a credit card was designed by Heritage.

There are young people who have spent years in jail because of a few kg of marijuana.

This person, who actually kills people, is somehow allowed to be free while committing mass homicide.

This state of affairs is somehow confused with "justice."
