It's what I mean when I say that tourism has gotten out of hand.

From groundskeeping to administration. They are doing this locally and it sucks bad. The next step is stripping the parks of resources...NATURAL resources. Bears Ears is emblematic of Pres. Obama and it steams me.
Had enough yet? bc bullies and punks won't stop until you've grabbed yourself by the crotch, stand up straight, and smack some son of a bitch in the face for doing stuff like this. They COUNT on us being outraged, but, unmoved to action. The Parks belong to all of us. Fight back.
Mount up!

He's playing a part that's for sure, but the dis-assembly of our government was planned. The weak points identified and attacked.

And at the same time, I'd like to find those responsible, to bring them to justice. They are cowards.

through the fragile desert and spray painting the ancient rock formations. These MAGAts are right out of Road Warrior.

They don’t belong in their positions because they want to destroy the federal government.

I don’t remember the year of this shut down, but Fuckhead Senator Cruz convinced the pricks, I mean the Republicans in the House to shut down, and they came out of their meeting giggling, saying stuff like, “this is fun,” and one of the giggling old men came to The Vietnam Memorial and attacked a Park Service person, “what kind of person are you for blocking vets from visiting the wall?”

I hate with all my heart these so called moral Christian repuking congressional dirty dog real enemies of our Constitution. It has nothing to do with them...Christ neither.

Maybe we need to put some solar cams up and start taking some of these folks out? Theres FAR too many HUGE fires in CA. The most Liberal State in the Union. This Joshua Tree desecration seems all too planned and meant to just be horribly mean.
I heard during the BLM marches (peaceful) in St Louis years ago that 'Proud Boys" were mixing w the crowds in the rear and even though the marchers were Martin Luther King style peaceful, the Proud Boys would start yelling in the back and smash windows and encourage looting (as if they were part of the march) and once the property damage started, the cops on the OTHER side of the march heard the commotion and noise and moved in bc the march had somehow crossed a line.
Someone in the march identified people they knew (by some huge stroke of luck) as CA CHIPS who were also rabid Proud Boys. I don't know if there's a connection, but, the russian in office encourages bad actors. Just putting that out there.
And no...I don't have a link.
