Of course, Trump supporters fail to do the math. They just see the donation and that is what they are spreading on Facebook.

park ranger I can tell you that every element of the uniform is worn to specific prescription, sooo... probably. Either that or someone did it "for him" while getting ready off stage, and if that is the case, it was to make him look bad.

If someone tried to make him look bad, it backfired as far as I'm concerned.
If I hadn't retired 2 years ago, I would have had to now. I used to tell kids that my boss was this cool dude who lived in a big white house in DC. I would have no pride whatsoever under today's administration.

I was a ranger for a two of the worst seasons at one of the busiest parks and it took a lot out of me dealing with a belligerent public, but I was comfortable about the administration at that point. I am not thrilled about the prospects for this year at any agency, I have worked for several, under this admin at all. I couldn't bring myself to work for the government under W either and I left grad school prepared for SES positions... I studied for years and 9/11 happened a month after I graduated. Since that ruined everything for everybody, there will be no recovery to what was once possible career-wise, and now I'm old.

At least you made it to retirement, I am not so sure I'll ever see that come around in my life.

Tue Apr 4, 2017, 02:29 PM

More and more I think he's got early Alz. Disease

Today he ranted and raved on twitter about "out to get us," saving the child (I think referring to Melania and Barron and security at the Tower), quotes of Roman emperors. It was all stream of consciousness, no sentences, barely a phrase even, just words strung together.

My take is he's stark raving mad and UNFIT

a lot of people volunteer to help them out on weekends with weeding and planting and other types of tasks around our national monuments. The park rangers and landscapers always say tell your representatives to please appropriate more funding.

Not all people, of course. But most certainly people like Trump.

Humans who think they can't be wiped out don't understand they are part of the animal kingdom. Humans do not live independently of the world around them. Why can't these idiots understand that?

As animals, we need places to live and play - to survive. Clean places. Clean water. Clean air. Safe food. Shelter.

Same as any animal.




Rotten fuckers.

Since they both reflect movements of dense, old and unstable elements, this can't be a coincidence.
