Bulldozers will soon start ripping through the National Butterfly Center in the Rio Grande Valley as early as this month to build Trump's wall - leading to the extinction of certain endangered species & the demolition of Native American historical sites.https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/bulldozers-to-soon-plow-through-national-butterfly-center-for-trumps-border-wall/ar-BBQASc2?ocid=st

The stupidity and destructiveness of the plan to build the Trump vanity wall through this refuge is enraging. What kind of hateful, shallow, vindictive person wants this??

(25,929 posts)and has complained that he really didn't think Trump meant it about building the wall.
Sadly, this is only one of many things that are happening now that are destroying our environment, or rolling back desperately needed regulations, and so on.
This country is in a steep decline, and we may as well all be resigned to that.

(10,164 posts)Most of the land along the border is privately owned, and the lawsuits havent moved through the courts yet.
I am so angry over this and everything else this ignoramous has done to our country and will continue to do for the next two years. I generally do not wish evil on other people, but I sincerely wish this man would just have a major heart attack or strokeanything to put him out of commission indefinitely.
Delmette2.0
(4,177 posts)I didn't know it was federal land.
It doesn't make a bit of sense to build a chunk of wall in the middle of nowhere. And nother on either end.

R B Garr
(17,019 posts)Democrats get a pass. She lied about Gore, too, and he was decades ahead of his time on environmental issues. No more lying about Democrats. This is on them. That is the gaslighting you should be concerned about.

R B Garr
(17,019 posts)deficient just to prop up egos. Theres much more at stake now, but articles like this really bring home what has been sacrificed. You should be more sick of the destruction wrought by Bush Jr and Trump, considering they were preventable. Nader / Sarandon egos are not my concern, sorry.
chwaliszewski
(1,514 posts)I focus on the now and tomorrow; the next election and such. Beating a dead horse after awhile starts to get old.
R B Garr
(17,019 posts)on Gore, so the only reason you are hearing about it is the same people were pushing the same lies. The lies and deception benefit only the GOP, and thats what we talk about here. The divisiveness was picked up by the Russians and they amplified it. That is what we should be focusing on, not the egos of a few people. We deserve better.
chwaliszewski
(1,514 posts)I'm tired of reading about the same complaints. It reminds me of this scene from A Few Good Men.

R B Garr
(17,019 posts)people about Democrats. Im tired of reading the same old complaints about Democrats. The lies about Gore paved the way to the actions being taken today by illegitimate Republican presidents who squeezed by from very marginal EC wins, mostly from those who believed lies about Democrats.
Sorry, but Im more concerned with Democrats being lied about than someone trying to browbeat others to stifle.

(17,635 posts)If someone wants to run again in the 2020 primary that's a big fat NOPE from me, for all the reasons being discussed here.
It isn't about fighting old battles, it's about trying to keep nemeses from prior elections from doing the same thing AGAIN.

(17,635 posts)You wouldn't have to keep hearing about how pissed we are at them.
These people are not leaders, or at least not leaders of anything good. If they were, the OP I'm writing a response on, would never have to exist.

CaptainTruth
(6,617 posts)I feel like this is what we must be prepared for.
Watching Trump & the GOP, they have gone way beyond disagreements over policy. They are attacking the very essence of our country. At some point we may have to choose between defending our country, or not defending it.
