the 1990 Toyota Hilux: if it's good enough for ISIS, it's good enough for you

“Standards will be eliminated or severely cut back. Bari has told people that she wants to get rid of standards and is shocked that they have so much power. She asks ‘What’s the point of standards?’

Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
