I think I read somewhere that the Forest Service is the most popular Federal agency. Yes, I'm sure I read that. Just another stupid decision by Donald. And the day is young.

He didn't put his hand on a Bible, but he did swear to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. A domestic enemy of the Constitution sits behind the Resolution desk.

Now how are we going to ‘rake’ the forest floor to help prevent forest fires?

Trump is a symptom of the sickness in American politics and education. Deep reforms are needed – teach critical thinking in schools, eliminate executive orders, impose term limits in the Supreme Court, implement districting laws like the Fair Maps Act to end gerrymandering.

This is another step on the NONSENSE Government is keeping making proving their tears after LA fires were the LIE tears of a crocodile and they aim to slaughter trees like a cave man until they realize they are slaughtering their own chances of survival in sync with forests when it becomes too late!

Yes, they want us dead by germs, by fire, by hunger, by STDs and sepsis, clearly.

Perhaps trump should round up his J6 freed ex-convict hostage, give 'em shovels, gloves, hard-hats & send them to rake the forests, battle the fires, rebuild washed-away bridges, roads, etc. & then drink from the lead contaminated, trump's EPA-declared "safe" water faucets & send taxpayers the bill!

As a westerner and former USFS employee this is just plain tragic.

Has there ever been a greater attack on the US than what Trump Musk Republicans are doing now? This is like Pearl Harbor in slow motion.

Are American brands prepared for global hatred?
Trade war promoted by Trump is not just a conflict of tariffs and taxes.It is a battle for the perception of the global consumer,and the American brands are in the epicenter of this cross fire
Global hatred against brands is installed,and here to stay
