Hard to take your concerns seriously when this is what you voted for.
I didn't vote for him but America did so we all have to deal with this. Not that our voices will be heard trying to stop losing protection of public lands from the greedy few.

Hopefully those who destroy these lands will be jailed by the next administration.

so you never voted for trump ever?

then who did you vote for?
 
ever vote for trump

i am under the impression if trump last the 2016 election he would have never ran again.
Only the 16 & 20 not the 24. He said if we voted for him in 24 we would never need to vote again. I am not sure how that is possible. When did you vote for him? And how do you plan to stop the exploitation of this land?

The presidents budget request (note: not the final budget since that will need to be approved by Congress) highlights. I'll try to pull page numbers but the PDF and the documents page numbers are de-synced.

  1. Forest and Rangeland Research (the primary Research & Development account):FY 2027 budget authority = $0 (no new discretionary appropriation requested). Outlays estimated at $127 million (using existing carryover balances).Change: Complete elimination of new funding. The budget explicitly states the agency will “strategically utilize existing carryover balances to responsibly and effectively terminate research programs and close research stations.” Prior levels were substantially higher (FY 2025 actual obligations ~$300 million; FY 2026 estimate ~$331 million).
  2. State, Private, and Tribal Forestry:FY 2027 budget authority = $0 (no new funding). Outlays estimated at $544 million (from carryover).Change: Termination of programs using existing balances.
  3. Forest and Rangeland Research:FY 2027 direct FTEs = 0 (reimbursable = 0). Change: Elimination from FY 2025 actual (1,354 direct + 34 reimbursable) and FY 2026 estimate (1,215 direct). This directly ties to the termination of research programs and station closures.
The FY 2027 proposal zeros out new funding and phases out operations entirely using carryover balances. This would end dedicated USFS research programs and close associated stations, with zero direct Full-time employees remaining.

The Forest Service has provided world-leading forest research science and expertise since 1876. That all ends as of 4/1/2026. The FY 2027 proposal, if approved by Congress, would result in the termination, forced early retirement, (or transfer to non-science related positions) of 1,500 hard working and dedicated Americans.

An authoritarian dictatorship needs no sciences.
That money goes to guns, and the jackboots to carry the guns.

Really the way I post … you think I voted for him???

I voted for Dems my entire life except for Perot..

I already tried to stop the exploitation of the land by not voted for assholes…

But you cannot say the same

We can go back and forth. Biden's wholehearted embrace of DEI, rainbows and invasion of America gave Trump the opportunity he needed to re-take power as people were fed up with that.

You have to be strong, bold and fearless. Not afraid of offending people. Say what you really think not what you are "supposed" to say. And then do what you say you are going to do.

So the next D candidate better embrace and emobody these traits or expect to lose to someone does. America wants someone who acts like a real leader not just another politician to be President.

So someone who is not a white male is a DEI hire

Got it

You also know who shared those same exact traits?

Nazi germany

Does your wife / SO have a job ? If so tell they are a DEI hire.

Do you have a daughter with a job or got in to college? Tell them they only got it with DEI

I can go on and on. But just tell any female in your life if they got a job tell them they only got it because of DEI. When you are in line at the grocery store and the checkout person is a non white male they are a DEI hire.

Tell us how that goes..

But let me guess you won’t do it

Why not?

Show your stupidity in real life

Do it

Explain to me like I'm 5 what DEI is, why it's bad, and provide evidence its had a negative and measurable impact

Fascists have been getting their feelings hurt the last 40 years, so they elected Trump because they knew Trump would hurt the people they would like to hurt. Any other explanation for the myriad of non-sense fascists say is a bunch of bullshit.

Oh oh oh. I got this


It because trump doesn’t want to stand next to a blackie..


@FelixDeCat

Did I get it right. That’s DEI

Right..

Or is this DEI


Per military policy, according to the Times, the defense secretary is technically only supposed to approve or reject the entire list – to keep the military’s officer corps from being politicized.


Speaking of DEI. How about the plumber who doesn’t even have a bachelors degree be head of DHS?

And I can keep going on the other trumps cabinet picks that are not qualified

Name a Biden cabinet member who was atleast unqualified on paper…

Conservatives are once again incapable of accepting responsibility for their own deplorable conduct. No Democrat made anyone vote for Trump or any other Republican fascist. Conservatives did that by choice because they enjoy being shitty people.

I am telling you how to win an election. Cut through the bullshit, tell people what to do (not the other way around) and just lead. That's why you are the President. Ignore the critics as you will never please everyone and don't bother wasting time with the small stuff that is what your lackys in the cabinet are for.

I'm sorry if you don't like what I'm saying but this is what is happening. Also, your party has to have control so nobody can stop you. This is the playbook to power now.

That or keep on doing what you're doing and you'll lose again. 🤷

The bullshit is all you..

You voted for a racists child fucker and the decisions that he makes

Don’t push the blame on Biden or the dems

Get your big boy pants on for once and be proud of your decision..

Don’t you dare blame me not for doing enough.. I did my civic duty

I will never ever sacrifice my morals for people who are all for racism and child fuckers

Again own your vote.

Vote for Biden again. Enjoy your election loss in 28. Or vote for strong leadership either Republican or Democrat as I described above.

You're a delusional fucking twat who can fuck all the way off 🙂
Your beloved oligarchs and their media ownership did most of the heavy lifting.
In closing, please eat shit, and have the day you've earned.
