I’m so glad he totally stopped all violent crime everywhere in the country, too. What a guy! ---

My red hair color (dye) is lasting longer since he became president. And my pedicures, too. My cat only throws up once a month now instead of once a week. Birds don’t shit on my car nearly as much as when Obama was President. So much to be grateful for. Thanks, DJT! ---

Yeah, that def pisses me off! But it doesn’t surprise me as his favorite network also promotes the idea that all women stay at home and have husbands who work. There certainly aren’t any couples who need two incomes to get by! Or stay-at-home husbands with wives who work! Or single women who have to support themselves! Or women in LGBTQ relationships! But of course none of the people in those groups matter so they either don’t exist or can go die in the street, which would be the preferred outcome of trump and fox. Fuck trump and fox and their willfully blind supporters too. Had to check that I was in the Pit because I’m fucking pissed off and too incoherent to write a very good rant but here it is. ---

> **[Trump to strip protections from Tongass National Forest, one of the biggest...](https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2020/10/28/trump-tongass-national-forest-alaska/)** > President Trump will open up more than half of Alaska’s Tongass National Forest to logging and other forms of development, according to a notice posted Wednesday, stripping protections that had safeguarded one of the world’s largest intact temperate rainforests for nearly two decades. > > As of Thursday, it will be legal for logging companies to build roads and cut and remove timber throughout more than 9.3 million acres of forest — featuring old-growth stands of red and yellow cedar, Sitka spruce and Western hemlock. The relatively pristine expanse is also home to plentiful salmon runs and imposing fjords. The decision, which will be published in the Federal Register, reverses protections President Bill Clinton put in place in 2001 and is one of the most sweeping public lands rollbacks Trump has enacted. > > The new rule states that it will make “an additional 188,000 forested acres available for timber harvest,” mainly “old growth timber.” > > For years, federal and academic scientists have identified Tongass as an ecological oasis that serves as a massive carbon sink while providing key habitat for wild Pacific salmon and trout, Sitka black-tailed deer and myriad other species. It boasts the highest density of brown bears in North America, and its **trees — some of which are between 300 and 1,000 years old** — absorb at least 8 percent of all the carbon stored in the entire Lower 48′s forests combined. > … Jesus wept. ---

Exactly what is “libtard” about this announcement? I’m not a Dem, hardly a tree-hugger… do you hate salmon or something? ---

Yeah, raventhief got it. For too many right-wingers, liberal tears are enough to make any horrible policy palatable. Although, in fairness, I’m not that keen on salmon. ---

So how long will it take for lumber interests, etc., to ramp up and actually begin taking advantage of that? Will any significant damage happen between now and January 20? Can Prez Biden then re-instate the Tongass protections just as quickly and easily? ---

> [@Monty](#): > > You don’t seriously think the timing of this announcemenet came as a surprise to those interests, do you? They’re ready now. They’ve _been_ ready Have they actually begun building logging roads into the forest? If they begin chopping trees tomorrow, how many can they cut down by January 20? How much damage can they do between now and then? Will they be so quick to invest in the necessary infrastructure before they see what Biden will do? ---

Once they begin, then they’re golden. When Biden wins, and then cancels the executive order, the lumber interests, etc., will go to court and take a wild guess how the newly-minted Supreme Court would rule.
