You're talking to the guy that thinks Trump is awesome because he insults people.

No, that's why he's savage. He's not awesome, but he's way better than crooked Hillary.

He actually made Turmp his bitch, not just look like one. But then, he didn't need to as Turmp was doing that on his own.

Also, didn’t Walter Peck kind of have a point? Do you really want people walking around with unregulated nuclear reactors and operating machinery where if there is EVER a loss of power for any reason it will be like ‘dropping a bomb in the city’?
I’m all for the ghostbusters’ ghost busting and marshmallow man destroying but I also don’t want buildings that explode every time there’s a bad thunderstorm.
I like his non-party line, America-first desires for our country. Partisan types will not be able to digest what he's doing.
Then you must really hate his actions as he has done functionally nothing out of line with the desires of congressional Republicans. I imagine this is because he depends on them to stymie any investigations into his corruption. He talks a big game but when the chips are down he does what he’s told.
Regardless, do you have an ETA on those examples of EPA overreach?

Trump's supporter's attempts at normalizing his behavior is failing miserably. And it's not for lack of effort as we've noticed this top to bottom all hands on deck PR effort to portray Trump's despicable childish behavior as anything other than what it really is.
There's no getting around the fact that Trump, along with his crippling self-defeating behavior would not survive a truly major existential threat to the nation he supposedly leads if not for the support of the existing infrastructure, logistics and military capabilities left behind by his predecessors. This is mostly due to the fact that his focus and severely limited abilities are fully concentrated on elevating his and those others of the aristocrat class as high as he can possibly achieve it before he leaves office. It doesn't help matters much that his party is also similarly focused.
Trump is unreliable, easily provoked, easily manipulated and lacks the leadership qualities that our nation needs to retain its formidable position as a world leader, a benchmark for the democratic principles of governance while also possessing the capability of protecting itself from outside threats as well as projecting its umbrella of security over its allies.
Never has the nation and its allies been so threatened of their existence and world status because of one man being in the wrong place at the wrong time, all due to his and his party's ability to convince millions of folks to vote with their emotions rather than their reasoning abilities.
If that's all it takes to grasp the reins of power and keep it, then we as a nation is well and truly screwed. Putin saw it and took full advantage of it. I'm sure every other nation ally or enemy is also sure to take advantage of it. Add to this the fact that Trump's overly inflated ego and his penchant for relying on himself rather than those much more knowledgeable than himself for making national policy decisions and we have the making of a whole nation suffering a debilitating blow to its status on the world stage.
I know exactly who to blame. I wish for them to wise up and see through this scam that they're being victimized by before it's too late to do anything about it. The middle class is what makes this nation great and not the few very wealthy who wish to rip away the people's right to self determination.

There's nothing conservative about any of them as they attempt to hide behind religion while behaving this way.

you don't even have a rational argument to make this assertion.
it would behoove you to make actual argument, don't you think, with details on how Trump is actually better than what Hillary would have been. "Trump is better than crooked Hillary" isn't a statement of anything without any sort of reasoning behind it.
what is your actual argument?

This is a three year old article, with no apparent followup as to what resulted. From reading the article - buried way at the end- I'm guessing it was seized because it was imported with a fraudulent VIN and wasn't built to comply with US emissions laws.
The seizure is like an arrest, not a conviction. What did the owner do to contest the seizure? I'm not sure what point you are trying to make by citing this article, it really doesn't stand for anything other than a country (the USA) has a right to enact and enforce it's own import laws.

Your interpretation of this article is sad.
DHS which did the raid has nothing to do with the EPA.
"Some 40 Land Rover owners across the U.S. woke up Tuesday morning to police and federal investigators knocking on their doors and demanding they hand over their trucks. Officials say it's part of an ongoing criminal investigation into the illegal importation of Land Rovers into this country, Jalopnik has learned."

Now be honest with yourself and admit that the EPA is not the boogeyman.

I'd say it's about the same as Merkel giving a speech to Jews in front of a painting depicting the person who ordered their genocide.
But America has no shame and has never done anything wrong ever in the history of mankind so this is all well.

That's just an example of trumps spite. it does not prove overreach by the EPA/ You just read the hyperbole headline and say dammit that's wrong, If you actually knew anything about watersheds and wetlands and have have some knowledge on the topic you would think differently.

Even if this wasn't a protection that was needed and Trump had actually done something good it does not excuse his behaviour in front of the code speakers.
Are you 8 years old or utterly fucked in the skull? Pick one.
