stealing scared land of the Native Americans - suits Trump - he has been attacking the Native Americans for some time now. Of course he would do this. Trump is just a worthless human being… a pig
But… you know… both parties are totally the same, man.
It all goes back to the fact that the tribes run successful casinos. And he can’t
Federal land grab? Gee, who owned the land before the declaration of National Monument status? Do you need a hint?
Whatever should be small, they make big. Whatever should be big, they make small. Venal idiots.
There seems to be some doubt about whether a president has the authority to shrink a monument. John Yoo thinks the answer is yes, so I’m just going to assume he’s wrong.
That fking bastard. Honestly. He is a…oh WTF…there is nothing more we can say…he sinks lower every day.
National Geographic piece on the both Bears Ears and Grand Escalante is long but worth the time. As a frequent user of public lands, the shrinking of these monuments could set a precedent. I am sick.
Nothing will happen right away except law suits which will be filed very soon.
“toured Welfare Square, a church-run complex in Salt Lake City that aids the poor.”
Too bad they didn’t stone him.
Trump exited the plane with Hatch and was greeted by cheers from a crowd assembled for the arrival.
Assembled. Uh huh.
And thanks TPM headline writer for just aping the AP bias. Sprawling? Oh well then, they are obviously too large.
A good variation on a classic:

I say this every day, and it is becoming truer and truer. Trump is the worse POTUS in history.
Time for a democrat in Congress to introduce a bill establishing confiscatory levies on any extractive industries operating on land that has ever been part of a national monument.
$1 million a day should send the necessary message.
The moron strikes again.
More proof of what they DON’T mean when they use the words “protecting our heritage.”
Anyway, up is down, so this is a good thing…
Put this in perspective: Chaffetz is one of the assholes voting to eviscerate the BLM budget by about 15% while cutting its workforce immensely, but also increasing the portion of its budget specifically earmarked for oil and gas management activities.
Yeah I recall now that when Obama gave those sights that status he did so that it couldn’t be rescinded.
I may not remember that correctly but there was something.
I’m so used to that - we had our governor and our atrocious Lt governor yelling for months about how they were just protecting women’s health by closing all the Planned Parenthood clinics in the state except 2 or 3, and they were just protecting the sanctity of the Ladies Room by trying to enact ridiculous discriminatory laws about where transgendered individuals peed.
Ya, our National Parks, Wildlife Refuges, Monuments, Seashore, etc. are being loved to death. We are not locked out quite the contrary. I can attest to that as a creaky knees hiker. It might take a bit of work to get there or see the attraction-back packing, day hiking, canoe but it can be done. People with major disabilities have climbed mountains.
