    Did Dirty Donalds repeal of the 2015 Clean Water Act passed by Obama result in the brain eating amoeba which has infected Texas Lake Jackson, resulting in the death of a 6 year old boy, and affected the water supply of 8 Texas cities???

    Oh yeah, no link and a sci-fi plot I've seen in 50 late-night schlockfests. Right!

    Trump Virus Eats Brains!

    Where do they find these stories?

    No. Naegleria Fowleri can live in any warm freshwater. It was found in the hose spigot at the boys house, where chlorine added to the water was supposed to have killed it, but chlorine levels were found to be low in the cities freshwater system.

    The clean water act never had anything to do with how much chemicals are deliberately added to drinking water to make it safe, so it has nothing to do with this.

    Nope and it was the Clean Water Rule not the Clean Water Act

    They have found t6hat the lake is contaminated with the bacteria due largely to a reduction in pollution standards Dirty Donalds relaxed laws have permitted.

    Generally it takes a bit of time for something like this to occur. You don't just repeal some act and then just suddenly the water is polluted.

    What scientist concluded that this took place in a one year period and what mechanism actually caused it?

    He repealed the law in 2019 that has given it plenty of time in over a year to affect our nations water supply. Reversing and lessen pollution and clean water standards i9s NOT in the better interest of average Americans.

    He repealed the law, then the people at the working level actually changed something and then the change took place within a year. If this is true, it is a new record for our government in action because they rarely do anything that quickly.

    What scientist said all of this happened?

    When you repeal Clean Water Rules and reduce pollution standards there are bound to be consequences.

    When you allow farmers and industries to release pollutants into streams and river and wetlands that flow into drinking water lakes which Dirty Donalds repeal via executive order did, it is bound to have detrimental consequences. Even a fool should realize that.

    Texas officials are reporting it could take several months before this situation clears up.

    Within a year? Not a chance. Here is how it works. There were laws and regulations implementing the clean air act. Trump writes the executive order. That does not just automatically nullify everything in existence. The laws which actually implement the clean air act have to be changed because there are still laws which have to be complied with. Then the people who follow the laws have to make their changes. And then those changes have to make an effect. There is no way that all of that is going to happen within a year.

    Since no one ACTUALY knows exactly what causes these brain eating amoebas there is no absolute way to know what caused it here in Texas, but lowering clean water standards or air quality standards is a step in the wrong direction.

    I know that it takes longer than a year to make a change at the executive level and then for it to work down to actually change a lake and for an amoeba to form.

    Why is it that you continue to post stuff that you completely make up(I would call it something else but don't want to get a warning), never post any type of link for any supporting proof.

    And you know that exactly how???, since scientists at this point have no idea exactly what causes these brain eating amoebas.

    Strange since the Obama Clean Water Rule hadn't even gone into effect yet before Trump rolled it back.

    Nope. It was held up by the courts until 2018 and a month after the scotus ruled, the the administration took the first steps to gut it.

    No there definately was not any Act....Obama created a rule by EO, that Trump killed because it was harmful.

    The actual Clean Water Act still exist....Obama EO didn't impact Lake Jackson, which was alreayd covered by the actual Clean Water Act.....Obama's EO dealt with dried up water holes....
