"Trump Administration Orders Dismantling of the U.S. Forest Service."

"They’re shuttering every single one of the ten regional offices that have governed this agency since Gifford Pinchot built the system over a century ago — and with them, the career professionals who spent entire lifetimes earning the expertise and the authority to push back when politicians came calling with bad ideas and worse motives. They’re destroying more than fifty research facilities across thirty-one states…And they’re replacing all of it — the offices, the scientists, the institutional knowledge, the professional independence — with fifteen political appointees called 'state directors,' embedded in state capitals alongside the very governors, legislators, and industry lobbyists who have spent their careers demanding that the Forest Service log more, protect less, and get out of the way."

I can accept that we can lose our economy and quality of life. We might even get those back someday.

But we'll never get back all the extinct species and destroyed ecosystems again even if things go 100% right politically. It's profane. Like selling our children to a pimp.

Recovering from this dark period of governance will require triage.

* Some of the federal activities #Trump has killed we need to put a black tag on. Gone forever.

* To #Schumer and #Jeffries will fall the task of repairing the things Trump has broken and should be restored as they were. Yellow tag.

* To the presidential candidate who hasn't yet popped her head up goes the red tag items:

(1) tex system and income inequility
(2) campaign spending and PACs
(3) war powers

Remember that?

Then, no surprise.

The rise of end times fascism

The governing ideology of the far right has become a monstrous, supremacist survivalism. Our task is to build a movement strong enough to stop them

Retroactive laws will be passed making forest company execs personally responsible for forest destruction during the trump crisis.

No one escapes responsibility just because a sundowning madman had been installed.

Be perfectly sure no one escapes justice.

Trumpism is ending soon.

Newest generation of carpetbaggers right there....

They are just doing it in a crude manner. So called democratic regimes across the world are taking advantage of every crisis to undermine key institutions across their respective governments.

Worse is that such a move will embolden broligarch companies who have they hidden voices in the ears of governments to repeat such measures across more countries.

End times for sure. 😠
