Every trumper is a N4T.
Yes folks, if there was ever a time for SuperShlump to swoop down from his imperial sky fortress and stop the abuse of a poor, innocent little businessman by Nazi environmental officials and evil liberal courts, this is it!!!
These wicked, unAmerican bastards are forcing a metal scrap yard owner who's only trying to create jobs and make a buck, to remove several rusting ship hulls, including an old Russian sub, from the Providence River where they are just sitting there, innocently minding their own business, creating an eyesore and likely a mosquito and rat breeding ground, while polluting the water.
It's not fair!!!! SuperShlump needs to swoop in and stop this travesty of American justice!!!!
Court: 'K-19: The Widowmaker' sub must be removed from river
PROVIDENCE, R.I. – A Rhode Island court has ordered a scrapyard to remove the remnants of a Russian submarine once used as a set for a Harrison Ford movie from the Providence River.
The hull of the submarine, known as Juliett 484, rests mere feet from the shore in Providence.
After the Cold War, the sub was sold and used as a restaurant and vodka bar in Helsinki, Finland, and as a set for the 2002 Ford movie "K-19: The Widowmaker." Then it became a floating museum. It sank during a nor'easter in 2007 and was sold for scrap.
State environmental officials sued to get it and several other vessels removed.
A Superior Court judge ordered Rhode Island Recycled Metals LLC in December to begin removing vessels from the river, adjacent to its scrapyard.
The permitting process is underway. The company was supposed to apply for permits by Jan. 15 for removing the first vessel.
Those permits haven't been issued yet, according to Richard Land, appointed by the court to oversee the cleanup.
Land said the deadline turned out to be far too aggressive, but the parties are making good-faith efforts. An amended court order submitted Thursday extends the deadline by two months.
The 282-foot-long sub and a U.S. aircraft carrier, the USS Saratoga, shadowed each other during the Cold War.
The sub wound up in Providence because the Rhode Island-based USS Saratoga Museum Foundation bought it and opened it to the public as a floating museum in 2002.
Both the scrapyard and the property owner, AARE LLC, are named in the lawsuit. The scrapyard has been ordered to deposit $300,000 in an escrow account to pay for removing the vessels.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Coast Guard are among the agencies that have to approve the plans.
