It's anything that originated by Trump or his admin that Liehard will defend to the death.

It's anything that originated by Trump or his admin that Liehard will defend to the death.If you follow the history, this company first proposed mining in Minnesota in 2019. It led the Biden administration to pass a 20-year ban on mining in the wilderness area. Just a few years later, Congress has voted to overturn the ban. The House approved last month, the Senate today.

I'm conservative not a Republican and have taken issues a few times with their handling of the parks and such. Trump's wrong on the Sable pipeline in CA and I've bashed the Utah GOP many times over Bears Ear.As for mining, I don't trust them to have the right balance. It's not just about destroying nature, but the chemicals that leak into the ground that get into the water supply. That giant mine in The Postman can be seen anywhere in the SLC Valley because they literally cut a mountain in half. It's not just destroying the beauty it leaked chemicals into the water supply that took it to the Jordan River that dumped it in the Salt Lake and now because of the drought that's shrinking the lake everyone in that valley is breathing in arsenic and other chemical dust. It's so bad the U of Utah has a dust cloud tracker and it even makes it over into the Park City area where I live. So no I'm not a big fan of mines. We need them, but again, I'm not sure I trust them to have the right balance. Doesn't matter if Trump or the GOP in the senate are pushing it I'm probably not a fan.

I doubt many of you dumb f's even know what Sable is without Googling it or why I said Trump was wrong. To save you time a company bought pipes owned by Exxon that were faulty after a big leak, said they patched them, and want to open up them up again and probably have another major leak because of it. His admin intervened it and he's wrong.

The ones in my state are the biggest POS out of all of them because they pretend to be good little Romney types but they are all swamp creatures. National ones aren't much better.

I do agree most of them are to blame as well, through complicity.

They're in the fight and when he's dead and gone they'll carry on the mantle. If for no other reason, then because Trump exposed that there just aren't that many actual conservatives in America. They can pull a bigger base by beating the protectionist drum, the raycist drum, the big government drum. There's just more appetite for that then limited spending. Most Republican voters never cared about that sheet anyway, they were just using those talking points as an excuse to help them get the sheet they wanted like abortion restrictions.

The 900 bison owned by American Prairie, a non-profit, have spent the last 20 years grazing on public land. However, this winter, the US Bureau of Land Management canceled the bison permits, deeming the bison to be wildlife, not livestock. This pits conservation groups and Native American tribes against ranchers and Republican leaders.
