Our magnificent public lands are being destroyed by Donald J. Trump. He doesn't give a care about anything green unless it has 18 holes with flag poles.

The Trump administration has authorized the construction of a data center on public land, scrapping a previously-approved solar energy project. The data center will consume more energy than the entire neighboring community and was approved without public input.

Labor shortage looms as immigrants lose protected status. Trump, Miller, Vought do NOT give a cow chip about U.S. about farmers or families, they want immigrants of color gone. Maybe trump can convince his white African immigrants and Trump Gold Card buyers to work the farm fields 10 hrs/day, etc.

That is a VERY disturbing comment from trump. How is he going to disenfranchise voters next?

Trump on his Thursday speech: "It's really big news. It's really big news. Our country has to shape up. What we're gonna be talking about Thursday -- it doesn't get bigger, because without free and fair elections you don't have a country."

I've decided that a big reason our country is turmoil: Too many people make up their mind without ever opening their mind.

Unfriggin' believable! Appointing a woman with ZERO experience to be a United States Senator. Governor McMaster's lack of leadership, following the orders of one man, serving DJT, NOT the state of SC, not the nation. United States Congress requires experienced people.

Not only do I expect elected and appointed leaders to represent the nation/people FIRST, NOT their political party, I expect them to do so with political, personal, financial and legal ethics, morals, and integrity. Millions of Americans do so each and every day, you can too.
