Be Smart. Stay Informed. Actively Dissent.
Pollution is bad. When companies pollute, they face monetary penalties for doing so. If not for the penalties, they would have no reason to follow the rules. Simple concept.
But Trump's Environmental PROTECTION Agency has cut penalties drastically meaning these firms face zero consequences for ruining the one world we have.

Dictators stay in power by not allowing a vote for their position at all or staging an "election" that is controlled in a manner that pre-determines the results. In the United States, something so brazen seems unimaginable. From the "Election Integrity" Commission to revocation of the Voting Rights Act, wildly absurd claims of voter fraud and undocumented individuals voting, rampant gerrymandering and attempt to rig the 2020 Census..... These are directly from the playbook of a dictator, supported not just by Trump, but by a Republican Party determined to hold onto power at all costs.

Trump's EPA Refuses to Limit Two Toxic Chemicals in Drinking Water, Particularly Near Military Bases
Scott Pruitt is gone and now so is Ryan Zinke. That just means their headline news of corruption has ended but the destruction of our environment pushes ahead with full force, stronger than ever. We all must be aware of what the relatively scandal-free Andrew Wheeler is doing to elminate as many environmental protections as possible while running the Environmental PROTECTION Agency.

We at Smart Dissent and all of you have known every step of the way that Trump's trade wars were a significant drain on our people and the GOP tax scam was benefitting only corporations, not us. When we started to do more research on the impacts to write this post, we found something shocking: even the ultra right wing Heritage Foundation has numerous posts crushing Trump for his trade war. Now that's saying something!
Here's the only time we're ever going to quote those clowns on Smart Dissent:
