The drug trafficker was responsible for transporting 400 tons into the United States.  You can buy your freedom if the price is right.   Trump is acting like a mob boss.  

Do you have a poll verifying that?

Go back and look at the posts. One need only read what’s there. You were posting about the Honduran guy being a drug trafficker. LRF challenged you to produce a poll. You said the files hadn’t been released. I asked “files”? Now you answer with Epstein material. You really jump around a lot. Let us know when msm produces something “new”.

Don’t remember DCT complaining about the economy when biden shut down the Keystone pipeline and coal plants, or when he shut the border wall construction down and allowed anyone to come in.

He’s very transparent, it’s all about Trump.

While Donald Trump's policies aimed to boost coal, critics argue his administration hurt coal towns by cutting economic development programs, reducing health/safety enforcement for miners (increasing black lung risk), and failing to diversify economies away from a declining industry, leaving communities vulnerable despite rhetoric promising revival. His focus on propping up coal led to environmental rollback battles, but couldn't stop market decline, ultimately hurting long-term community stability. 

Arguments that Trump Hurt Coal Towns:

Budget Cuts: Proposed eliminating key federal programs supporting coal community economic and workforce development, harming areas already struggling.

Health & Safety Rollbacks: Reduced funding and paused rules (like silica dust) for agencies protecting miners, leading to concerns about rising black lung disease and miner safety.

Economic Vulnerability: His focus on coal failed to address long-term economic diversification, leaving towns dependent on a shrinking industry despite market realities.

Broken Promises: Despite promises to bring back coal jobs, the industry continued its decline, and miners faced increased health risks without adequate support, notes CNN (https://www.cnn.com/2025/06/04/us/trump-coal-miners-inspections-safety-invs).

Keystone had Environmental groups vehemently opposing Keystone XL due to risks of oil spills, potential contamination of water sources like the Ogallala Aquifer, and increased greenhouse gas emissions from extracting tar sands oil.

Keystone pipeline was not safe for the environment and the original investors lost interest. The economy was heathy and thriving and groceries were affordable before MAGA.

Environmental groups were simply smoke and mirrors. Where were they when these were constructed? Seems to me Americans know what needs to be done. EPA is a joke. America built all of these pipelines. Next time you gas up, thank a pipeliner.

You believe everything you read as long as it’s anti Trump, lol.

Your article, like most of yours, is complete nonsense.

This is what EPA says about the community you live in.

 

Yes, chemical plants in Southeast Texas pose significant health hazards, with residents facing elevated risks from carcinogens like benzene and 1,3-butadiene due to frequent toxic releases, despite EPA regulations and state oversight; recent events and studies confirm ongoing issues with pollution, lack of enforcement, and disproportionate impacts on nearby communities, leading to calls for stronger action to protect public health. 

Key Health Concerns & Pollutants:

Carcinogens: Benzene, 1,3-butadiene, and ethylene oxide are common emissions, linked to leukemia, respiratory illnesses, and reproductive issues.

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) (https://www.google.com/search?q=Volatile+Organic+CompoundsBenzene, toluene, and others cause headaches, dizziness, and respiratory irritation.

Particulate Matter & Ozone Toxic smog from industrial activity leads to lung damage, aggravated asthma, and pneumonia. 

Regulatory & Enforcement Issues:

State vs. Federal: While the EPA sets standards, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has faced criticism for being less stringent, with some Texas standards allowing higher emissions.

Frequent Violations: Reports show daily unauthorized air pollution events in Texas, though penalties are infrequent.

Industry Influence: Critics point to industry influence over regulatory bodies, hindering effective oversight and enforcement. 

Impact on Communities:

Environmental Justice: Latinx communities, especially in areas like Houston's east side (Pasadena, Deer Park, Channelview), bear a disproportionate burden of toxic releases and related health problems.

Daily Exposure: Residents report constant chemical odors, affecting daily life and increasing illness.

EPA is not a joke.  Just ask your surrounding neighbors.  I know it does not support the MAGA narrative.

I was born and raised here. Like I need you to tell me about chemical plants. Some people….lmao. Do you drive an EV? Then don’t complain. The topic was pipelines and how the Keystone was shut down by Biden, supposedly because they damage the environment. If they’re so bad, why are there an infinite number of pipelines. It was all designed to drive up gas prices and the demand (threats) to push EVs. Your president couldn’t tell you anything because he didn’t know his own name and someone else was running the show. No complaints from you.
