Wrecking the Bureau of Land Management

Trump has appointed William Perry Pendley to head the Bureau of Land Management.  The BLM is in charge of 245 million acres of our land, mostly in the west.  That is an area larger than Texas.  

Pendley has said, “The Founding fathers intended all lands owned by the federal government to be sold.”  He has expressed sympathy for Cliven Bundy, the fanatical terrorist who refused to obey BLM regulations on cattle grazing.  He has made fun of Native American religious sites.  

Trump did this by Executive Order.  He was advised by Interior Secretary David Bernhardt, former oil and gas lobbyist.  


Pay attention.  Forget the bullshit tweets, the MAGA hats, the campaign rallies, the silliness about buying Greenland.  Focus on the policy, the destruction of the environment, the foreign policy blunders, the deliberate dismantling of decades of progress.  Remember, it doesn’t matter who the Democrats nominate.  Vote for the responsible adult.
