    This illegal illegitimate regime that runs America is at fault...not me.... they do not represent me and I have long objected to their crimes against humanity.

    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    Trump should do his job. The fed owns 57 percent of the forest land. Trump can get out his rake and sweep the forest "floor" Think what a great example that would be if there were no fires on Fed land.

    But notice how they take none of the blame, they say it is all the fault of the utilities and global warming.

    Lying fucks is what they are, and the citizens let them get away with it so it will never improve.
    Look up Enron if you want to see where their high rates came from. Nobody stops power companies from upgrading and maintenance.

    Hahahaha! To explained why I laughed I have a good buddy from school who's a very liberal dude and his wife works for the Mayor of Oakland and is even more liberal than him. The Sierra Club came out recently against the proposed new stadium for the Oakland A's. I asked my buddy (he's a big A's fan as well) how much pull the Sierra Club has. His response:

    "My wife just informed me that nobody at the city gives a f*ck about the Sierra Club. Bunch of granola tree huggers. Cowards. Bums."


    I mean this is coming from a real liberal. LOL. I was dying when he texted that to me.

    I am not a member of the Sierra club, but hike w/ them & know many that are...

    They have done much good.... You sir should be thankful, if for nothing else but your lovely stays up in the forests of Tahoe...... The streams you see going up & the critters your kids can find & see along the way......

    That said, perhaps it could be argued they have done to good of a job....

    There are some goals I adamantly oppose..

    Like the anti-logging, I guess one could blame much of the problem w/ forest fires squarely on their door step......

    Many are also opposed to controlled burns-insanity appearing to be ignorance-they should know better..........

    Many prefer a "pristine environment" but are totally clueless to what that means or entails......

    A few days ago in Colorado over 100,000 acres burned in just one day..................WTF??? I can not even imagine that, & we have seen lots of fires over the last 15-20 years......

    I honestly don’t pay much attention to the Sierra Club other than an instance like this when they cane out against the A’s new stadium. Fvxk them for that (my A’s fandom is strong).

    But to have someone as left-wing as my friend say what he did was an eye opener.

    Well as a hiker & kayaker, I don't see it necessarily as a left right thing........ In the beginning it was the republicans, not the dems that were jung-ho about it.......

    Want to preserve, say national parks, isn't a left right issue, I hike w/ & see ppl of every persuasion out there.......

    Ppl projected that into the issue....... It makes no sense from a practical stand point... Hell, most the ones I know fish, hunt & own guns which are not seen as necessarily "leftest" activities..
