We could get it through their dumb-ass'ed brains that that's indeed his administration's intent. You remember, they call all truth lies unless they hear it on tRumpTV or Limpballs' program.

Making it easier for grazing leases, mineral, oil and gas rights, that might fly.

Closing and selling off Yosemite or Yellowstone, people would come unglued.

call our Reps and Senators maybe we can stop it. This is full assault on our country, its' citizens, our climate and the world.

We need to get them out.

This isn't going to go well but what I don't understand is why the people making these decisions think that it will. What do they know that we don't? When D's get control we better take back all land and breach every lease that the Drumpkins have put into place, even if it appears that we cannot legally do so we should do it illegally and let the courts sort it out.

Of course the government will buy it back once a Dem is in control.

We need public and private trusts to act as the true conservationists in these warped times.

The plan all along. Bankrupt the nation,

And say we have to sell off the public lands to balance the budget. Interestingly, The 1% seem to have a lot of money from the tax breaks and will be scooping up the land
