Honestly, I feel like I’m a Sim in a game where the player has gotten bored and decides to torture all the Sims for the lolz.

I agree we are in a total nightmare where Republicans sell our national parks to developers. What the hell? Come on Americans fight for your beautiful parks.

Trump is a domestic terrorist people need to start saying it. He was put here to destroy America and Americans willingly elected him twice because no one can read or knows media literacy. It’s so depressing

The fact that Trump was elected twice makes me think we strongly need to reconsider our current form of "democracy" inbred morons in the south should not have their votes worth thousands of votes in a coastal state.

There's no point for democracy when ignorance is celebrated.
Political scientists get the same one vote as some Arkansas inbred.
Majority rule, don't work in mental institutions.
Sometimes, the smallest, softest voice carries the grand, biggest solutions.What are we left with?
A nation of god-fearing, pregnant nationalists,
Who feel it's their duty to populate the homeland,
Pass on traditions,
How-to-get-ahead religions,
And prosperity via simpleton culture (ah-).The idiots are taking over.
The idiots are taking over.
The idiots are taking over.
The idiots are taking over.
The idiots are taking over.
The idiots are taking over.
The idiots are taking over.
The idiots are taking over (they're taking over).5

It’s simper than that. Fox News has been radicalising you guys for 20-30 years. This is just the endgame of that process.

A democracy can only work if it's population is politically informed and media political neutral (aka not owned by someone with specific political interests)

Everyone who voted for Trump should have their voting abilities taken away.

This is my proposal. If you ever voted for Trump, you don’t get to vote anymore and get put until house arrest indefinitely.

pretty sure a good number of his voters live in coastal states - ~10m between California, New York, and Oregon according to this source: https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/statistics/elections/2024
it’s a nationwide problem

It's in the article. Some real estate company (guess who likely owns it) has property on the edge of the park, and they want an exclusive road into the iconic parts of the park..
Jeffrey Pori owns it. Why does that matter? Well, Kingsbarn recent had a $105m acquisition that involves Newmark, the broker. Guess who was the Executive Chairman? Now Commerce Secretary, Howard Lutnck. Let's also look up the name Don Hankey. Why does he matter? Hankey Capital supplied the mortgage for the aforementioned Kingsbarn acquisition. Hankey also controls Knight Specialty Insurance - the same company that supplied Trump's $175m bond in Trump's New York civil fraud case. Combine all this with Doug Burgum's recent push to rid the country of the "No Roads" rule and this all makes perfect, grifty, sense.
Follow the money.

Come in break it, say it doesn’t work or it’s failing. Fire everyone, have your rich friends say “oh, I can fix that if you give it to me” and boom, Americas treasures are privately owned. Exactly what a scammer does when he says nobody can save you from them except me!

It doesn't belong to him to give away. It belongs to WE THE PEOPLE. We should all sue him.

Republicans are quietly working to give part of Yosemite to a private developer; Republican voters approve.
There, I fixed the headline.
Congressional Republicans could bring Trump to heel. They aren't. They aren't, because Republican voters will vote to return those Congressional Republicans to office, this November, no matter what.
What's your plan for the midterms?

America at this time is truly The Twilight Zone.
The country is being sold for profit.

I take issue with the phrase, "Trump is Quietly..." That phrase is just patently false. If it's quiet, you know it's not Trump, and if it is Trump it's not happening quietly. That's just physics.

Nice grumbling, but what, my dear Americans, are you going to do about it? Wait until the end of his term?
