As usual, ABC reporting normalizing Trump administration's lies, illegal moves and taking Trump and his overtly corrupt officials' statements at face value, eating their lies, making assumptions that those bullshit statements reflect their motivations...then wasting a bunch of time reporting on such naive assumptions

Once again, we're blaming individuals instead of Corporate America for pollution. Okay, yes, we each need to do our best, sure sure sure. I do go to the trouble of separating my trash and placing my recyclables in the corresponding bin. But until companies get it together and start thinking long-term, miss me with that shit.
