Trump pardons then nominates him for head of transportation
Nah, EPA.

It's okay to keep the hyphen in there. It's more readable, and also it's once again a word.
Why? Just Why?
I mean sure, there is some money aspect to it, fine.
But why spend all that time and energy just to be able to pollute more. I mean, that is the benefit of more pollution? Even if you don't believe climate change, polluii less shouldn't be that hard to understand as something positive?
I'm just... Not getting this. I'm assuming the guy has a mental illness that would explain this, maybe?
Tribalism, to own the libs.
If the "delete" was removing their catalytic convertor and not just reprogramming the ECU then there is a mild to moderate performance increase caused by reducing exhaust pressure. If it's easier to push the exhaust out then there's more power going to the wheels.
If it's just ECU changes it's probably related to the air/fuel mixture it's using. Often douchebags will hack this to "roll coal" but changing this can give you increased horsepower at the expense of emissions.
As someone whose car has a tune but still passes emissions inspections, this guy is both bad at tuning cars and also an asshole.
Believe it or not there is a subset of the far right who vehemently believe we are ruining the atmosphere but not pumping ENOUGH carbon into it.
It's a weird reverso climate change belief. These people blame all the historic hurricanes, wildfires and changing temperature on the completely unfounded idea that humans are limiting their CO2 output.
I’ve heard of deleting. But I wasn’t sure why anyone would do this. Scary if what you are saying is true.
During the July 20 edition of Your World with Neil Cavuto, Fox contributor Brian Brenberg called for more coal plants as a solution to extreme heat, claiming, “I think most of America wishes the coal plant was still there because… more people could be in a cool environment and be safer.” [Fox News, Your World with Neil Cavuto, 7/20/22]
Climate denier Patrick Moore, a right-wing media darling who works as a nuclear energy consultant, has refuted the idea that carbon dioxide levels are “getting too high” due to human activity. In 2022, Moore wrote on X, “It has been known since at least 1920 that adding CO2 to greenhouses and even to open air causes a huge increase in plant growth, with no harm caused to plants or animals.
And my faith in humanity drops even lower.
The ultimate "own the Libs" conspiracy.
