People should be more upset at the fucked up tax code in that there are thousands of assholes just like Trump not paying anything, more so than learning what we already knew.
apparently i need another accountant... mine SUCKS in comparison.
I got an email from backcountry hunters and anglers... The new DOI (Department of the Interior for you folks not in DC) director (FU TRUMP) appointed the worst possible person to run BLM (Burro of Land Management) ... this guy is 100% for giving the federally managed public lands to the states to manage or sell or mine or whatever... and his first week put 30 million acres for sale.
(okay its proposed and will take time to get out... but still)why cant we have a real balanced approach to public lands?!?!? its my land, its your land, its your kids land, its your unborn grand kids land...

there was nothing reasonable about this situation, and any victim blaming about not having any permits or other such nonsense misses the point by a mile - the point that our military was turned on peaceful citizens for some bullshit propaganda photo.
I dont think the Democrat ticket is our savior and they are just as complicit in the wealth gap and shit justice system situation, but, at the moment the longer Trump is in office the more damage is being done to our gov't, our institutions, our traditions and our relationships both at home and abroad.
Right now, these are our choices.
that WP article said 4 boogs were arrested (i'm going to guess it was that LV issue) but 40k were arrested over all... it also says extremists (non affiliated) and local hooligans were more likely the cause of violence.
I'm not saying it was a reasonable response in DC... what i am saying is people need to be WAY more in tuned with the laws getting passed because they can be abused (and have been). i'm not blaming the victims... i'm preaching future folks need to be more prepared.
we have a level of naivete in the US over this stuff... I mean they have quickly learned from HK and other protests how to start protecting themselves... the cone and water bottle techniques, umbrellas, leaf blowers, etc. But across the world (most recently in Columbia) live rounds are being fired over protesters throwing rocks at the police station... they are paying a much higher price than we are (for now)
