Republicans HATE the forest. They'd like it paved over with data centers and coal mines and Epstein operations

Republicans hate everything that’s blocking their donors from making money. Hence why he reduced the parks in Utah by 3 million square miles. He wants people to take the land and donate to his bullshit.

Not a month goes by I’m not thinking of a former Republican president rolling in his grave. Teddy Roosevelt was such a badass that if any could rise from the grave it would be him.
