Hey Republicans, Say goodbye to your favorite pristine hunting and fishing grounds. People don't buy land without plans of developing it.

Putting that R next to your name is the uniform of soulless ghouls. They're the worst of American society, and have been consistently working to undermine this country for decades.
Let's just put all the Republicans in North Dakota, and keep them in one place.
Only the rich will have money to buy hundreds of billions of federal land.
Fuck this. Fuck it all.
Get on the land and start kicking them out. It is not the governments to sell. It belongs to we the people
Based on what I seen on this site and others
"WE THE PEOPLE" are cowards...
Easy to say that from behind a screen
Checks and balances... Aaaaannnyyy time now....
good news: checks have already been deposited
And the balances (of certain people's bank accounts) are up!
Well...
Wonder which of these MAGAts stand to profit from that fucking decision/situation...
Everything in the MAGAt world is about fattening their personal pocketbook.
New World Robber Barons all.
🙄 🤡 🖕 🖕
fret not(?), because i'm sure we'll find out the direct link between this decision and those who stand to benefit from it. but nobody will care until it fucks them in the ass.
That's your land they are stealing. Stealing to give away to their rich friends.
I've had a conversation with a couple of trump supporters that are also outdoors people (hunting, fishing, camping). And they use the public lands for most of their hobbies. They told me that this is what would get them to question their vote.
While there are many things that I feel should have gotten them to this question sooner like illegally deporting people, raises prices of everything, etc. etc. But I wonder how many others on the fringe of this cult that are outdoors people this legislation will piss off?
Lol right. I'm sure they totally won't just move the goalposts like they always fucking do.
People generally don't change their opinions until they're directly affected, sadly. Hopefully this one wakes a whole bunch of people up, I know among my own conservative acquaintances it'll have a huge impact if they go through with it. Pitiful that this will be a breaking point for so many, but at this point I'll take the wins I can get...
very large swaths of rural America are just like that
lol i really hope the fishing licenses go from ~$10/year to $14.99/month (OR save money by buying yearly! only $120/year!!!) while it's nothing but republicans in charge
Fishing prices vary pretty wildly by state. My home state fishing licensees have been $12 my whole life. When I lived in Louisiana for a year they wanted something absurd, like $400 for the year for a non-resident. I think for residents its like $75. Still something way beyond $12
lived in Louisiana
i could be wrong, but with the abundance of delicious fish sources in LA, i suspect they don't want people fishing and eating well for cheap instead of buying food at the store. also everything would be fished out of existence
Yet another un-undoable action from the MAGAts. Fuck them all - no forgiveness, EVER.
Who says it's undoable? All you need is the balls to go "Nah actually we're taking this back, get fucked"
Nah, it just takes enough people with guns to seize the land.
Scumbags
i feel like there's a much older word in a language i can't speak that describes them much more accurately. edit - that word no longer exists, because history is written by the winners. for now.. i guess from now on it'll just be scribbled in crayon (but mind your stick-figure genders, people!)
With outrageous garbage like this in the bill we can be guaranteed not a single democrat will vote for it, right? RIGHT?
Chuck schumer:
Don’t worry, Chuck will send a strongly worded letter and then wash his hands of this.
Well they all voted for the internet censorship bill (the only nay votes were from two Republicans) so I'm sure it'll be more than just Schumer voting for it right before they all go on TV and talk about how "concerned" they are with the actions of the Republican party.
Destroying the planet to own the libs.
nah, they'd be fine destroying the planet anyway. politics just provides them with an enemy. take the enemy away, and they'd just find another way to keep on being the idiotic, annoying contrarians they're destined to be.
Sounds like something a MAGAt would do.
Stopping at Repulibcan is fine. I think I remember Dubya trying some shit with the national parks.
I wish we could capture, enslave and sell these people but no one would want them because they're less than useless. Big money loser.
I had no idea there were fast growing parts of Nevada
Laaaame
