Trump will do anything ,destroy anything, defile anything if he can make a buck off it. I wonder how much he sold off the national forests for. I hope he chokes on the money.

Remember, Republicans have been tearing apart ecosystems & cooking the planet since long before Trump came along. Destroying God's creation is one of the few decades-long planks of their platform.

One point of the “Roadless Rule" the forest does not need "management". Forest fires are a natural occurrence. If allowed to happen more frequently, they will not be as devastating. With climate change, which trump insists isn't real, it's hard to tell exactly what will happen. It's looking bad.

I hear what you're saying. But I bet you live in a city, huh? Or somewhere table flat. No real time in the wilderness where fires go down, right? "Allowed to happen more frequently" tells me that. At least you didn't run with the "Indian controlled burn" stuff. That ONLY comes from flatlanders.

Um, No. I've back packed and hiked in Yellowstone, Teton, Yosemite, Rocky Mtn., Zion, Cascade, Banff and Jasper and many other N.P.s. and N. Forests. I'm just a lot older than you and "Allowed to happen more frequently" was always the phrase used. Until VERY recently removing underbrush made sense.

That is, removing underbrush and down wood "naturally." Not trump's idea of "forest management" by building roads everywhere. Not sure why I put it that way, I'm very aware of what's happening. Today, the only alternatives to maintaining wilderness are ??? Maybe you can't.

I doubt you're older than me, you have nowhere near as many trail miles and I imagine you live someplace where you READ about wildfires. You don't live with them. Or in the mountains where terrain drives the show as far as prevention. And that's my point. Let it burn is what city people say. Sorry.

Once more, if Trump were officially and overtly an asset of another country, of an enemy like, say, Russia…what - and I can’t emphasize this enough - the FUCK would he be doing differently?

"Democrats from Western states said they believed wildfire arguments were designed to hide the administration’s real goal: enabling more logging." I live at elevation, 50 yards from an NF boundary, and that's ALL it is. Land raping for money. Republicans are a cancer that needs to be eliminated.

This is why old-school conservatives tolerate the criminality, bigotry, cruelty, etc. – what they’ve always wanted is to privatize (and monetize) everything. Stunted intellectual development and emotional immaturity are bedrock principles of the right.

Tell Congress NO!👇 bsky.app/profile/dwor...

NEW: Trump is moving to open 45 million acres of national forest to logging and development. 45 million. Acres. Land that belongs to you, that your grandparents protected, that nobody gets to replace. We just launched this. Tell Congress to stop him: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...
