    I remember the times when all online content had a list of search words so they would score higher in the search result. Still see a youtube video with this. Good for them they are trying to resurrect this trend, I miss it.

    I never in my lifetime thought this country could turn such a complete 180 in such a short period of time and yet here we are.

      The protests start tomorrow. Big one is somehow 4/20(we live in a TV show). The only ones I can see them swaying are congress though so I guess we’re all in on the House and Senate caving to protestors and a rapidly cratering economy… We’re going to need a general strike.

      Edit: Why the downvotes, I meant it sarcastically!! Hence the “😂”
      I guess it wasn’t obvious.

      lol, I’m at the point that I just can’t understand my fellow MAGA human who would think clean water is a bad thing anymore.

      I just can’t even stoop to the level of holding a serious conversation with them anymore at all.

      I feel like at some point there will be so much banned that every government document is just going to be like caveman talk about how amazing petroleum and guns are

      Gas good and drill good so money good too. All is good if gas is gas. Oil and gas and drilling is great. Guns for army man. Make America great again.

      They could save a lot of ink by just saying the word pollution, but that’s not the point

    Let me tell you a little story about The Fenhalloway River. About a year before I moved to that area as a kid in the early 80’s, some reporter came to report on it. Some locals assaulted her buy burning her with cigars and cigarettes, then pouring the river water into her burns.

    I remember wandering some places with my step brother. One spot was along that river. The spot was out there, but still on a decently used dirt (sand) road. We got to the end and to an area we heard was a swimming hole. This was before we heard the river was badly polluted. It was littered with empty bullet casings, KKK signs and nazi symbols. We noped the fuck out of there quick.

    While I lived there, at one point, the EPA provided everyone who wanted it with cases of bottled water. We lived close enough to see the sign over highway 19. A 30 second walk and I could just read it. Our well water stunk of the paper mill and you couldn’t see the bottom of a 5 gallon bucket. The EPA water program lasted about a year. Then…nothing. The river wasn’t any cleaner. It was still black coffee. Still smelled of satan’s farts. I just now get the irony of living there and watching Captain Planet.

    The mill shut down last year. It will probably take some time before the pollution from it will fade. Decades.

        The entire town got filled with that sulfur smell a few times a day. When we first moved there, we were baffled about the smell. The locals all said; “smells like money.” Even the other kids in school. I never got accustomed to it. It’s a smell that will forever be stuck with me.

      My God I can’t ever comprehend how people can be so wrong

      And like, a LOT of them too

      At least when my dog hurts me they don’t try to convince me it’s for my own good too

      Only coca-cola™ will be allowed for drinking, and Gatorade to water the plants of course (it’s got what plants crave).

          Freedom isn’t cheap but if it’s anything I’ve learned from Trump supporters is it is worth it for the brown people

          I mean to say, against the brown people, in case the racism wasn’t coming across clearly enough
