All Things Trump: the story continues...

Who are they to tell us how much PFAS we want in our drinking water? They can buy bottled water if they think this is bad.

Meanwhile, the incoming chair of the Senate environmental committee in a hearing last week promised to target portions of new PFAS regulations put in place over the last year, a top priority for Trump’s chemical and water utility industry allies.

The Republican House committee on oversight and accountability chair, James Comer, charged in his letter that scientific integrity policies would be used by EPA scientists to “hamstring the incoming Trump administration’s ability to implement their own executive agendas”.

Comer ordered the EPA’s Regan to turn over reams of documents detailing the policies and their application.


Ruch said the attack points to two certainties: a stepped-up attack on agency scientists who contradict Trump in the second administration, and a crackdown on research produced by federal scientists.

“There will be blood,” Ruch added.

Water treatment
Several technologies are currently available for remediating PFASs in liquids. These technologies can be applied to drinking water supplies, groundwater, industrial wastewater, surface water, and other applications such as landfill leachate. Influent concentrations of PFASs can vary by orders of magnitude for specific media or applications. These influent values, along with other general water quality parameters (for example, pH) can influence the performance and operating costs of the treatment technologies. The technologies are:

Photodegradation[223]
Foam fractionation[224]
Sorption
Granular activated carbon
Biochar
Ion exchange
Precipitation/flocculation/coagulation
Redox manipulation (chemical oxidation and reduction technologies)
Membrane filtration

-Y'all elected a convicted felon as president but expect Joe Biden to let his only living son go to jail over something others rarely get prosecuted for because 'no one is above the law'???
Stop holding Democrats to a different standard than Republicans.

-Donald Trump thinks that Hunter Biden pardon is “abuse” and a “miscarriage of justice”.
Does anyone give a damn about what a convicted felon thinks?

Trump will be charged with inciting a riot in civil suites.

That’s the worst. You get motivated to take action, to make a difference , and you find out the best you can do is donate to a lawyer. —democracy shmocracy

My Finnish American friend: MAGA is entirely the Democrats' fault.

So by liking regulation, approving and even promoring vaccination and science , all the green stuff. We caused their hate of government. We caused them to try ivermectin!

We’re told that when Trudeau told President-elect Trump that new tariffs would kill the Canadian economy, Trump joked to him that if Canada can’t survive without ripping off the U.S. to the tune of $100 billion per year, then maybe Canada should become the 51st state, and Trudeau can become its governor.”

Hilarious.... someone thought it was a joke

Kamala likely to be arrested:

The House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol, on which I served, appears to be a prime target for Trump’s retribution. The committee investigated and reported on the pro-Trump insurrection, including his role as inciter-in-chief. So far, two committee members—Republican Liz Cheney and Democrat Adam Schiff—have been explicitly named on Trump’s “hit list.”

Although my name wasn’t mentioned in the Politico report, it’s possible I, too, could face harassment through investigations or worse. Am I afraid? NOT AT ALL. When I joined the committee, I felt it was my duty to help address the January 6 attack. My values remain unchanged.

Trump has also targeted others in his speeches and statements:

Kamala Harris for people allegedly “murdered” due to immigration policies implemented under her watch.
Joe Biden and his “entire” family for unspecified crimes.

--pfft, from my reading Biden and Harris turned back more than Trump's administration. When you look at the data released by ICE they state that historically most contact is made after some criminal violation. But when you look at the numbers since Biden's administration that doesn't appear to be the case. My guess--and of course I could be completely wrong--is that the difference would be found in an increase in apprehensions at the border under Biden...

Bureacrats to use a favorite trick:

Delay. Delay. Delay. Waiting out the enemy until he moves on, gives up, or forgets is a time-honored strategy not just among civil servants but also history’s best generals. That email about a proposed rule change to healthcare protections? Bury it in everyone’s inbox by sending it late. A meeting on reviewing the U.S. government’s foreign aid commitments to a region you oversee? Oops, you’ll be out that day! That agency conference your political-appointee boss requested you arrange? Next month didn’t fit everyone’s schedule, so you had to push it to after the new year! Slow-walking is the classic tool in any bureaucrat’s toolbox, and in the next Trump Administration, you can use it in defense of the Constitution.
