Trump administration orders half of national forests open for logging
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/28106135
An emergency order removes protections covering more than half the land managed by the U.S. Forest Service as the president aims to boost timber production.
No one will save the US, this administration is going to let everyone and everything be gutted.
"let"? They are the ones gutting!
A lot of JRPGs were pretty clear on the alightment and heroism of ecoterrorists.
I sometimes wonder about people who played final fantasy 7 but are conservative. Like, did you just blank out everything except tifa's tits and cool swords? They're ecoterrorists fighting against a corporation. Be like Barret.
Never underestimate how media illiterate right wingers are.
1 very specific one that I can think of.
No one can save the US. This is what people voted for (including the protest non voters!), and that's how government is supposed to work: do what it was voted in for.
The dude cheated. Come on, there is no way around it. He legally cheated by gerrymandering and having his minions doing the cheating for him, but he cheated.
By any sane reading of the constitution he should have been barred from running again due to having been part of an insurrection. But SCOTUS said nah let the voters decide.
Gerrymandering has nothing to do with the President.
Unless you vote Democrat, and then it's "We tried to do the one thing and Joe Lieberman bullied us :(" or "sure, we'll get you internet, just submit to this seven year 36-point process before we can disperse the funds; we even kept it down to 18 subcommittees!" or "we're going to build a high speed train over thirty years, fund it with a one-time bond allowance, and make sure it costs ten times more than we funded it for, but don't worry, federal grants will make up for it, right? Right? Why are you looking at me like that? Right?"
Exhibit A.
Pro tip: you're allowed to be critical of the people you vote for. They won't explode in a puff of wishes and fairy dust with a thunderous "oh well".
Allowed to be critical? No one but the DNCs most senior staff would be dumb enough to not be highly critical of all the dumbass choices they made that doomed that election. Fucking Dick Chaney? Why in the holy fuck would you think a highly publicized Chaney endorsement would A: make a single Trump cultist give any level of interest in voting against the orange one, or B; not deflate your voter base because we ALL STILL REMEMBER WHY WE HATE DICK CHANEY!!
I'm just awaiting the government investing all these "savings" and the money raised through tariffs into an obvious crypto scam, which then fails spectacularly and predictably and all the US taxpayer money conveniently disappears into the pockets of those running the scam (which totally won't involve Elon Musk).
Like hiking?
Just in case, a hole saw to put the exterior of the tree back over the place being staked, so its less obvious.
