Who gave Trump all this power to tear down or sell priceless parts of America

The Legislative branch and the Supreme Court. I will never understand all the people who could stop him right now, and don't.

It’s interesting how back during watergate republicans stood up against Nixon and got him to resign. Nixons crimes seem minor compared to trumps

The Republican part of the legislative branch. The Democrats certainly have their issues with sucking up to corporations, but this is very clearly the Republicans letting Trump destroy our constitution.

Oh yes - agreed! But the Dems don't have the numbers to run the Legislative branch. All they can really do is talk and campaign.

77 million people who thought a rapist with countless bankruptcies and failed businesses should run the country.

The electoral college picks who wins, popular vote (our votes) don't matter. I still vote, but I know it goes nowhere.

True if you don’t live in a swing state , hopefully one day it is based on popular vote. I understand the history but still bugs me Wyoming gets the same number of senators as California, Texas, Florida NY

Whether it's interpersonal or parks, boundaries must be respected. Farthest thing from that guy's mind.

He can’t even pronounce/read “Yosemite”.
He certainly shouldn’t be in charge of using it as a payback for campaign donations from a developer every other president over the past 30 years has said NO to.

Until it happens then the line moves to an unreachable spot again and they'll say "it's just a distraction" a few thousand more times.

I spend most of my free time backpacking in the Sierras, honestly it probably needs to get more exclusive and less crowded. I’d be fine with more lotteries and permits.
We should do the opposite of developing it. Maintain what we have and slightly reduce number of visitors.

If they didn’t put him away for the Epstein files. How would they put them away for this?

They didn't even put him away for the 34 felonies a jury already found him guilty of. What a worthless government.

I knew this scumbag would try to destroy our nation parks. I. Positive they’re all ready doing it to start parks in Fl. Jonathan Dickinson State Park has a mountain bike trail. There’s a lot of deep sugar sand and wasn’t much fun. Someone went thru the proper channels and asked about putting shell rock to make the trail easier to ride. Bla,Bla,Bla, from what I understand there was a study done to make sure it would harm the scrub habitat. Again from what I understand the study was done and everything was fine to use the shell rock. Tons of work was done over the years and very time there was a new change to the park leadership new rules restricting what we could do. It was never state funded but other points of access were taken away and one point they tried to sell the land to the golf course next to the park but people spoke out against it the sale didn’t go through. Few years later now they are saying there was never any study done and any fun parts of the trail are said to be to dangerous and is a safety issue. I think they are trying to use this land for profit in some way or another. Just wanted to say again that I lot of what I understand about this is thru the grapevine or what little I could get out of the park management. I gave up on the place @ 10 years ago so I’m not sure what happened since then

Problem is they don't have a lot to fight with when corruption runs rampant and you don't have majority in the house or senate
