Mad Emperor Trump declares war on the air

In A.D. 40, the mad Roman emperor Caligula commanded his legions to declare war on the sea. The emperor's insane decree did nothing to reassure a Roman state that was already doubting his mental stability.

On Monday, President Trump joined Caligula's ranks by launching his own unhinged war against the air. The Trump administration announced that it would roll back a landmark 2009 scientific finding that greenhouse gases "pose a threat to public health and welfare," according to reporting from The Wall Street Journal. Trump's baffling move is clearly intended as the first step in gutting the Environmental Protection Agency's authority to regulate the major polluters that disproportionately donate to Republican politicians. It is also classic Trump — short-term thinking without any concern for long-term consequences.

Is there anything El Trumpo  could fuck up that he hasn't already thought of?  He's a fucking living breathing WMD!

Climate leaders condemn Trump EPA's biggest rollback yet: 'This is corruption'

"This is corruption, plain and simple. Old-fashioned, dirty political corruption," said Sheldon Whitehouse, senator for Rhode Island, at the rally. "This is an agency that has been so infiltrated by the corrupt fossil fuel industry that it has turned an agency of government into the weapon of the fossil fuel polluters."
