With the Trumpolluter out of office, bees may have a chance. But, there's a Democrat as chairman of the House Agricultural Committee, Collin Peterson, who's in the pocket of the pesticide maker, Bayer.

It's vital to a member of the Trumpolluter's cult following that anything bad said about Him is "fake news", and anything good said about Him is the Gospel truth. Same goes in reverse for anyone perceived as His opponent, facts-be-d*mned in both cases.
"Trumped-up charges"?
Btw, He lost the Popular vote by a substantial margin.
Yes, and thank God the framers of the Constitution created the electoral college.
...although you do know that they tried to prove voter fraud against Trump but dropped the investigation when they found that the fraud was overwhelmingly Clinton's
You know the Electoral College was created to preserve the institution of Slavery, right? And, it worked until Lincoln campaigned on a platform of allowing slavery to remain in States that still had it, but any new territories would become Free-states, by Federal law. Ironically, Lincoln probably wouldn't have won, if the Southern States hadn't already begun seceding from the Union.
Consider this: In ALL the Presidential elections since 1824, there have been ONLY 4(!) when the Electoral College winner lost the Popular vote. In 2000, Bush Jr. actually lost both, but the final recount in Florida showing that Gore had won the Popular vote in Florida was too late--ALL the Electoral votes had already gone to Bush, and no do-over was possible.
Something's clearly wrong when the Popular vote doesn't match up with the Electoral vote. The well-proven and undisputed Russian interference (not "collusion") brilliantly targeted the swing-States that would decide the Electoral College winner.
If you vote for the Republican Presidential candidate in California, it doesn't matter, because all the Electoral votes will go to the Democratic nominee. Same thing in reverse, if you vote in Texas. Something is clearly wrong with this process, with no way to make it right.
No, David, it was created to protect States rights, Otherwise the City of Los Angeles would have made Hilary president. Look at a map of the voting results. In terms of territory the country overwhelmingly voted for Trump.
It is the States that vote for a president, and the States are told how to vote by their populace.
We are a republic, a union of States, not a democracy of the people. That's what the framers of the Constitution intended.
As great a man as Lincoln might have been, he violated the Constitution by going to war with the South.
Did you know that Texas was never ratified as a State and that Texas included a provision in their agreement to join the Union if they be allowed to leave the Union at anytime, for any reason they found fit?
It's true. ...and, technically, Texas is another nation that the United States invaded and still occupies to this day.
As of the 2000 census 75% of the "white" population of Texas had at least one ancestor that fought for the Confederacy. ...and that's why you don't want to "mess with Texas". By that I mean, if you say the wrong thing there while you're in the wrong group of people, you'll get your a$$ kicked.
My great, great, grandfather fought for the Confederacy. He was born in Missouri, his son was born in Texas.
