My heart is so sad that the trump government is wanting to destroy the public lands and monuments. This is such an important part of what makes America, America.

I hope we can find enough congressmen who also care about this, regardless of party, to overcome it and fix the issues that have allowed this to be a possibility that a rogue president can do to our country.

It's devastating to me along with the horrific cruelty towards our immigrants, we all must find a way to stop all of this.

Very well said. It's like you took the word's right out of my heart. The damage being allowed to continue as the Constitutional Violations and Crimes are being allowed to continue without any accountability is beyond anything I ever dreamed would be allowed to happen to this Country, as well as the world. Esp being so easy to have stopped it before it began. DT and his corrupt traitorous criminal family hold nothing but contempt for our Country, our people and the world and are doing all they can to get even. They're selling out the US for their own personal profit and power, their greed has no limits, they only care about themselves and what's in it for them. We will be paying them for eons to come with all their inside deals they've gotten from being inside the WH and by using US Power to bully other Country's for whatever they wanted. Any other POTUS would be behind bar's along with anyone else doing what they've done. It saddens me for our Country and the world for what we will have to endure because RepubliCONS allowed them to do it all without a care of what it means for the future of our Country and for the world.

I totally agree and it is way worse than I imagined it would be, I knew it would be bad, but had no idea how really bad, like the doge cuts of everything we are suppose to be good at for our country and the world and science and our health and safety. And my God, the attacks on Canada, Mexico and Greenland, not helping Ukraine. Unlawfully Imprisoning and killing immigrants and American citizens, the Epstein files, and trying to label half of our population as domestic terrorists? It just goes on and on and on.

What the Fapweasel (Trump) is doing is disgusting. He is ruining the natural beauty of our country, and he is destroying Native American sacred places which is like digging up a cemetery to drill for oil. These places should be left pretty much in their natural state. They should only do things that protect visitors’ safety and make it easy for them to walk and hike in the area without getting lost or seriously injured. What they are trying to do now is like the old song, “they paved paradise and put up a parking lot,” only worse because they want to drill for oil and mine for uranium, which damages the environment besides destroying these natural spaces.

It's not just the natural beauty of our country, it's also the Capitol of our country, i.e., the destruction of our White House.

His plan is to destroy everything he can. All he cares about is how much he'll get out of doing it. The money Big Oil and Tech Company's are willing to pay him for access to these places that should have already been protected and off limits to drilling and mining are what he wants, so it won't matter to him that what's being destroyed can never again be whole. He plans to rewrite our history and that's not going to be in it. His whole point in taking down the East Wing of the WH was to build a better bunker so no one could get him out of it since he has no plans of leaving. RepubliCONS are failing our Country by protecting him and allowing him to get away with all he's done and will continue to do instead of protecting our Constitution and our Country by holding him accountable for any of it.

What The Fapweasel (Trump) did to The White House, and what he wants to do to The National Mall are very important, but these are buildings and we can fix them. The money to do that should come out of The Fapweasel’s (Trump) pocket. The only good thing, is when we build back the East Wing, there will be no asbestos. It is very possible that there was in the original construction, but that is no excuse for tearing it down. The way he did that makes me wonder if he even checked. We shouod hold him responsible for that too.

Trump should keep his hands and control off this monument ! He should leave the public lands alone!!!! Congress needs to do something about this and also about Trump. Trump needs to be impeached before he does any more immoral and harmful things !!!

I bet t wants to open Bears Ears and other monumental lands to extractive industries and their investors. Surely not a matter of national security. Plus, this is one more distraction from Epstein and other scandals.

That and how much they will pay him, not only for access but his cut. Also let's not forget that since he got back in office both his son's have started up and gotten into Tech and Drone Company's that also received big Govt and Defense contracts as well as loan's. Not to mention a Mining Company along with the Lutnik clan. With their corrupt inside information on all of it we'll be paying them for eons to come. I recall how RepubliCONS went after Hunter Biden for being on a board of a gas Co, and for selling his paintings yet not one RepubliCON has said anything about the Corruption and Abuse of Power going on now and this is costing Taxpayer's money now and in the future. But there's a deafening silence coming from RepubliCONS who swore an oath to protect and uphold. Still nothing!!
