Remember: a can of expanding foam can disable most any vehicle when sprayed in the right places.
Once again, we find out most of the past presidents just obeyed decorum and norms… Did no one consider that a bad-faith president would just say, "uh…‘EMERGENCY!’ " then he’s allowed to bypass Congress and just do whatever the fuck he wants!?
This needs to be turned against him. Obviously through the courts would be ideal. But at least in terms of the media juxtaposing his emergency declarations with his golfing.
Hey, that’s emergency golfing to you, buddy!
Break in and plant trees all over the fairway and turn the green into a pond.
18 times.
On all his golf courses.
There are 3 powers here supposed to balance:
- the president
- the houses
- the supreme court
Guess who scored all of them?
Incidentally this is the reason the judiciary power in other democracies is self governed (e.g., judges elect their own supreme court) and parties in the judiciary are forbidden
But… well… here we are 🤷♂️
Not happy with destroying our society anymore. Now they have to physically destroy our country.
This is what happens when you allow conservatives to have control.
I’d ask Americans to make better decisions going forward, but we all know that isn’t happening.
RIP.
This motherfucker wants to clear cut the boundary waters. All these special areas destroyed because they’re not a beach side golf course or some tacky casino.
Keep his cheeto dust fingers away from BWCA.
Just 1 more Walmart and America will be perfect
And oil exploration, and real estate development, and golf courses, and casinos, and…
Guaranteed way to speed up climate change
“I think that I now understand what he is up to. He is plotting to become a Power. He Has a Mind of Metal and Wheels; and He Does Not Care For Growing Things.”
“Come, my friends. The Ents are going to war. It is likely that we go to our doom.”
And then the ents kicked ass. They just fuckin’ showed up basically on a whim, by themselves, and ripped Isengard a new asshole.
Does anyone know if this will affect Yellowstone national park? I’ve always wanted to go there and Imma be extra pissed if he destroys that reserve.
National Forests and National Parks are different things and are managed by different departments.
National Parks (like Yellowstone) are managed by the National Parks Service and we’re put aside for conservation and public access. They are protected in perpetuity. As much of a shit head Trump is and as terrible as the Republicans are, I don’t think they could actually open these up.
Meanwhile, National Forests are managed by the Department of Agriculture. They were specifically put aside to be public land and to protect the US lumber industry. The rules have been slowly opened up to allow private purchase (for individuals and ranches) and different types of resource gathering (mostly fishing and ore mining, with some oil mining).
I think a lot of people in this thread are mixing up the two as well. National Forests are specifically used for resource gathering and more resource gathering isn’t out of the ordinary for these parks.
Ok I didn’t know that, thank you for the education.
Yellowstone is due to destroy itself any day now. It is an active supervolcano.
On the other hand. This has been said for decades.
Not even, there was a discovery channel documentary a number of years ago and it’s been constant hype and bullshit about a made-up crisis ever since. If you’re still taking TLC and discovery channel programming as science at this point, you’re unsavable.

Supervolcano was co-produced by the BBC
The reason for the interest was
The upward movement of the Yellowstone caldera floor between 2004 and 2008—almost 75 millimetres (3.0 in) each year—was more than three times greater than ever observed since such measurements began in 1923
That’s still 2005, not “decades” ago, and it’s still a hype piece that’s been capitalized on by every other network because fear sells, excitement sells, disaster movies sell.
No serious geologist believes that there’s going to be a Yellowstone supervolcano, maybe ever because shit don’t necessarily work that way. The magma chamber is almost 80% solidified, and we’re talking 10,000 kilometers of rock. The worst case, we will see pressure vents forming and spewing ash, but likely not even THAT in our lifetime.
2005, not “decades” ago
I hate to break it to you, but 2005 is decades ago. Two to be precise.
Nuh
Yellowstone is due to destroy itself any day now.
You are stupid.
It’s okay, I don’t mean that as an attack. I mean it as a challenge. Educate yourself and read actual science.
You are an asshole.
Good thing I don’t have to tolerate you. Goodbye.
You have a fantastic moderation history, I’m legit honored to have someone like you tell me “goodbye” it means I’m doing something right.
Time for this guy to get taken out…of office.
I really hope to see him buried soon.
Under massive voter disapproval polls and impeachment proceedings.
To quote local shitstain Mike Davis, who was SUPER TOTALLY JUST JOKING “I want to drag their dead political bodies through the streets, burn them, and throw them off the wall.” Which, you know, same to you buddy.
It’s cool it’s OK when he says it.
Would be a damn shame if the National Forestry service just started spiking all those trees.
Would be a shame if the millions of people who cherish our national forests, such as outdoors-people, survivalists, veterans and preppers, just decided that they don’t want their woods chopped down.
Sure would be a shame if anything kept happening to that expensive logging equipment over and over.
Just be careful and never cut a hydraulic hose with any of your body parts near the cut. Hydraulic injection injuries look terrible. Similar for large truck tires, those are not like a tiny cybertruck tires, they can blow up and cause injury.
Bunch of unpatriotic freeloading trees and animals. About time we have a president that puts them in their place. They’re ripping us off!
trump… Ensureing America has no future
It’s crazy how republicans are framing cutting down forests as a “good way to prevent arsons”
What do they claim the emergency is?
Has anyone actually done the co2 math and the amount of other gases we have to reverse?
It will blow your mind. Dont look up.
Basically everything we have ever consumed for carbonous goods or fuel sources has to be reversed.
That’s because we are a part of nature and we leave footprints like everything else. Change isn’t bad, in fact it’s a good thing. It’s why things evolve. The problem is the velocity of change is too fast for other parts of our ecosystem to keep up. It’s like catching a ball. Every little bit counts.
