Conservation or Big Beautiful Ballrooms?

This is exactly why I am an independent voter. I’d be embarrassed to say I was a “proud member” of either party. Sheesh.

It's ok. Not everyone has figured out the game. No matter what people run as, they are one party or the other. They choose who is going to help them get reelected.

Pick a team, but rest assured there are only two that are viable. Most of us don't like it, but that's the way it is.

Maybe Donald is trying to figure out how to make it right with indigenous people and the descendants of slaves. If anyone has a legitimate beef with Uncle Sam, it's them.

So how does this hit to conservation funding via ball room look when compared to the upcoming conservation and land loss hit from renewable energy and data center developments on public land?

Did anyone happen to catch the ranking member of the senate energy and natural resources committee, Martin Heinrich, pressing an administration official about permitting for renewable energy projects? The permits in question along with other projects in the planning and proposal phases have the potential to make a huge impact to conservation and public land.

I have many good friends that are life long republicans that realized trump was a pos from the get go and have never supported him. Country over party or something like that.

I also can’t support the current overriding desire of f the Republicans to sell out public lands amongst other things. I don’t believe a party and I need to align, but that one is a hill to die on for me.

They may have been republicans for their whole life, but the primaries this last week should cement that if you think Trump is a POS you aren't a republican. Until our election process is overhauled or the silent center starts actually showing up for primaries, the republican party is not a set of values or ideals but just a cult of Trump.

The conversation was more complex than that. The whole things is not about public land, it’s about O&G over renewables. DOI froze permits on renewable projects already approved and started, including off shore wind farms. Some of the permits were needed for projects occurring on private land. A judge had ruled the DOI couldn’t do what it did. Of course they didn’t change. I assure you, this is all about optics and has nothing to do with conservation.
