Omg

The Trump administration is scrapping protections for America's streams and wetlands, repealing Barack Obama's Waters of the United States regulation

WHOOPS!

Maybe this is what happened to all the Trump supporters?

The biggest brain-eating microbe in America is sitting in the WH.

“bUt rEGulAshUns r bAd...”

Hmmmmmm, that same water must be in the pipes of the White House, too.

catalishus2 Oh my gods they might all vote democrat then..

Won’t the microbe grow hungry + starve to death?

This is the result of undoing regulations that are put in place to protect our health, air and our water. So, the next time Trump says, 'we have the cleanest water on earth,' think about that.

It’s 2020, why not?

Is this what's wrong with Democrats?

So that explains he gross stupidity of my former home state.GovAbbott

😂 Texas Low taxes and no regulations! OSHA be damned in the great state of Texas! Just curious: is the city of North Texas still recovering from the states previous over-site at the fertilizer factory? Now Houston’s drinking water 🤦‍♂️. Stay classy Texas

Gop brains will starve it

This might be the reason for the existence of Red States.

Ok 2020 needs to end.

4xInsight Trump voters can continue drinking as it is confirmed safe for them

Do you 2020. Do you.

This is the most 2020 shit ever.

I love Texas and its people so it breaks my heart to hear crap like this. To the elected officials: Do your fucking jobs! tedcruz JohnCornyn

A reminder that when environmental regulations are gutted, people die.

'Deregulate!!! Let us decide how safe our water should be, not big government!!!!1!'

Democrats: shit, don’t drink the water! 🙅🏼‍♀️ Cult45
