Hopefully Shammah Scott’s dad gets a spot in the administration.

What the heck is that supposed to mean?

"Common sense regulations goes both ways."

In July 2017, a few months after taking office, Trump reversed a pending ban on the insecticide chlorpyrifos—a brain-damaging chemical linked to ADHD and autism. Chlorpyrifos is so toxic there are no determined safe consumption levels for infants and children. The reversal came after Trump met with the CEO of Dow Chemical, chlorypifos’s biggest manufacturer—and after the company donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration ceremony.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) found levels of this pesticide are up to 140 times the limits deemed safe for adults in foods kids regularly eat.

On taking office, Biden-Harris restored that ban to protect our health.

Trump’s EPA approved more than 100 new pesticide products, many containing ingredients so toxic that they have been banned in other countries. Half a dozen new products, for example, contained the chemical paraquat, a substance so deadly that ingesting a spoonful can be fatal. Seventeen of these products contained the potent hormone disruptor atrazine, and several other Trump-approved products included the dangerous airborne fumigant methyl bromide.

Trump’s EPA also failed to act on PFAS, known as “forever chemicals,” found in our food, air, water, and even breast milk. These substances are linked to cancer, birth defects, thyroid disease, weakened immunity, and reproductive harm.

In contrast, Biden-Harris issued the first-ever drinking water standard for PFAS, investing more than $1 billion to protect Americans from these deadly chemicals.

The Trump Administration appointed a former chemical industry lobbyist to head the EPA’s division on chemical oversight. Under Trump, the agency rolled back a whopping 112 environmental protections, including regulations protecting our air and water and controlling many toxic substances. The Biden-Harris Administration has revived and strengthened many of these critical protections.

Trump further endangered our food and health by abolishing stronger organic animal welfare rules aimed at making our meat supply healthier for both people and animals. The Biden-Harris Administration restored these protections. Trump caused additional harm when he reversed limits on bee-killing and neurotoxic neonicotinoid (or “neonic”) pesticides in national wildlife refuges and signed an executive order scaling back regulations on GMOs.

Drain the swamp right? Who are the swamp creatures again??

Removing certain protections are worth billions to some, but at what cost to the children?

Read the fine print. An easy answer does not exist.

Common sense regulations goes both ways.

You sure you aren't putting words that were never spoken in someone's mouth? I don't see where he ever came close to even implying anything like that. Maybe I missed it?

Maybe. He’s certainly, at the very least, degraded much of what I’ve posted, so I’m not sure if he’s done any research, or what he truly believes.

The more I hear, and the more research I do, the stronger I feel that the food industry is protecting themselves, and many people including our past elected Congress, are (bought) involved in protecting them. It will take a true believer like RFK to make changes.

Also, not all vaxxes are bad (although some have questions that need to be asked and answered), but with the corrupt Pharma industry and our Congress, many people aren’t educated about that either (until COVID at least). My own MD doesn’t like answering (I’ve on occasion, sensed irritation) some of my questions, so the medical establishment isn’t transparent either. They at least want to believe what the government agencies tell them is safe.

I will admit that our food is safer today than it was when food was over 100 years ago, when it first hit grocery shelves, so government agencies today have improved (actually we didn’t have any protections then). The preservative chemicals (formaldahyde, etc.) used at that time were totally poisonous. Those poisons aren’t allowed today. But that doesn’t mean that the chemical preservatives used today are healthy for children or adults.

I wouldn't be so sure.

I can only imagine...

Since your drug of choice (obsession), is great for treating “asses” for parasites they obtain from eating ****, it should be a part of your regular morning diet.

When has America ever paid THIS much attention to Cabinet appointments? Kind of fascinating that there is so much more interest than usual.

Well, Trump's cabinet is becoming a huge liberal win.

President Trump has now officially nominated someone for every single executive branch agency in his Cabinet and California is still counting votes.

[SB Shock]

Please expound sir.

Treasury is being run by SOROS advisor (Bessent)
HHS is being run by pro-abortion rights (RFK Jr)
Labor is being run by pro-labor who was backing Biden's labor initiatives (Chavez-DeRemer)
The director of national intelligence is a former Democrat (Gabbard)

Trump has now fully taken over the GOP and made it into the MAGA party with people who are loyalists and share his views on spending, trade, and defense. Conservatism is dead.

Will it work? Well, he has two years to make it work.

Thune named Mitch the head of the very powerful rules committee and that could be a problem. Doubt he will allow recess appointments, won't allow votes on bills he doesn't like, and he will protect pork filled bills.

Conservatism is dead.

Was Reagan sufficiently conservative for you?

[SubGod22]

Conservatism is dead.

Trump never was much of a conservative.

[Shockm]

Trump never was much of a conservative.

Trump is a conservative, without being totally tethered to “principles” like many of the “establishment” Conservatives (such ans totally free trade no matter how much we get screwed) are. However, his recent comments and decisions seem to indicate that the ballooning federal deficit has his attention.
