The EPA means Everyone Protect your Ass

It is the new nightmare before Christmas where employees at the EPA, the Environmental Protection Agency are leaving gladly by Trump in droves to protect their scientific reputations. It is now the Everyone Protect your Ass agency and get the hell out!

Of the employees who have left more than 200 are scientists. An additional 96 are environmental protection specialists that includes a broad category of scientists as well as others experienced in investigating and analyzing pollution levels. Trump could care less about the environment. He just rewarded large polluting corporations with tax breaks and de-regulation of their business practices. Trump wants to shrink the agency to levels last seen during the Regan administration when pollution levels were high. The smog in Los Angeles alone was unbearable at that time where you couldn’t see more than a few blocks away.

Trump likes to appoint important jobs to people who are completely NOT qualified and who have NO experience in the field. His appointments are based on his loyalty alone. The new guy he appointed to head the EPA is a friend of another of Trump’s buddies who was a banker who is apparently some kind of criminal in the field he knows because he was fined $125,000 dollars by the FDIC and has a LIFETIME BAN BARRING ANY FUTURE BANKING-RELATED ACTIVITIES. What crime did he do to be banned from banking for the rest of his life?

This ex-banker has a great government job at the EPA making $172,000 dollars per year. His name is Albert Kelly and is now in charge of the new task force to improve the process of cleaning up hundreds of toxic most polluted places in America. Albert is a longtime friend of Scott Pruitt, Trump’s choice to head the EPA. Albert was Scott’s banker from Oklahoma who knows nothing about the environment. Albert did help Scott get money for him to buy a minor league baseball team. He even gave loans to the people who bought the team from Scott at a profit a few years later. In this world of one hand washes the other where guys are paid back in favors for a favor, Albert is rewarded for Scott’s personal favors by getting the well paid job to lead an EPA Task force.

Would you want an idiot criminal type to be your boss if you were an educated environmentalist or scientist? NO. EPA means Everyone Protect your Ass. In July this ex-banker idiot released his Superfund Task Force Recommendations final report to clean up America’s environment. It includes 42 detailed recommendations. Environmental groups like PEER which stands for Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility asked this government agency for evidence of how the EPA came up with these recommendations under the Freedom of Information Act. They asked for research materials, agendas from their meetings, minutes from their meetings, drafts of the report or just anything that led to these recommendations.

The EPA did not respond with any materials because NO RESEARCH EVEN EXISTS. The criminal banker only filed some bull crap. The EPA admits that the Superfund Task Force left behind little paper trail. A lawyer for the EPA has written PEER to say that the task force had no agenda for its meetings, kept no minutes and used no reference materials. Trump also pissed off the entire world by letting America BE THE ONLY COUNTRY TO PULL OUT OF THE WORLD CLIMATE save the world conference.

Pruitt’s plan for cleaning up toxic sites was apparently immaculately conceived, without the usual trappings of human parentage, said Jeff Ruch the executive director of PEER.

This is why good people are leaving the EPA by the hundreds. More than 700 people have left the EPA since Trump took office. So in this season of prayer and peace on earth. Pray for our earth and hope for its future since this administration could care less about the environment.
