McMorris Rodgers...Thoughts?

The Nightmare continues. For me the last 8 years flew by, I fear the next 4 will seem like an eternity, or longer. On the bright side if there is one, I'm not optimistic but somewhat hopeful that in 2020 this country, and not just the sportsmen, but a majority of all Americans, will realize the terrible horrendous mistake they made and finally come to their senses and do the right thing. Whether we're so far down the sink hole by then for there to be anything left to salvage is my biggest fear.

Ugly as the future seems to me, I won't give up, I won't ever give up..
 
My thought is every single one of us better be contacting our senators and telling them to not confirm her.

She's pro-sale of public lands and anti-public involvement in planning.
 
My Senators will be fighting this and most nominees of his I believe.
Not that it will do much good,the writing is on the wall. In feces...

I am sorry and not sorry I never had kids.
I fear for my country and the future of my nieces & nephews. At least I got to show some folks the wonders of our Public Lands.
When the fools I see around me who love the Don are left holding their limp dicks in their hands and have no access to any land they do not own,let alone a cattle lease that they have for nothing,at least I will get a chuckle.

I will continue to use the same public lands I always have, consiquences be damned!
 
She's a Bundy supporting, anti public land preaching (note that's not federal lands, but all public land outside the National Parks), crazy from the craziest part of this state. This is just one more sub-chapter is Trump's upcoming book, The Great Con.
 


"I don't know if I'm smart but I think I can see when someone is pulling the wool over me."
 
If Hillary had appointed someone anti gun to her cabinet, all of her supporters on here would be saying not to worry.

Depends. Were they going to be appointed to Secretary of Guns, or were they going to be appointed to Secretary of Treasury.


Facts, and context matter, even when you are making up shit.




Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) will likely be tapped to lead the Department of the Interior, which oversees all of the U.S. public lands, including forest management, the Parks Service, and fossil fuel extraction.

McMorris Rodgers is strongly in favor of developing the United States’ fossil fuel resources. She has also opposed federal ownership of public lands and voted to make it more difficult for the president to create national monuments. McMorris Rodgers is the author of a bill that would have directed the Department of the Interior to sell off federal lands in Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, and Wyoming.

The selection is not surprising, in what is shaping up to be the most anti-environmental administration — Republican or Democrat — in modern times. The Interior Department transition team has been led by Doug Domenech, the director of a pro-fossil fuels project at the conservative Texas Public Policy Foundation.


Thank God for Texans helping to guide our public land policies.....

You'd still tell me not to worry, hose.

I'm not an expert on the confirmation process, but when trying to confirm Obama's judges, didn't the democratic controlled senate change the rule that only 50 votes are needed now instead of 60 to stop a filibuster? That was a very shortsighted thing to do and one that most political analyst said would come back to bite them. Needing 60 votes would be really nice right about now.
 
So from what I've read, trump doesnt want to sell public lands. The potential SOI is big into resource exploitation. It seems to me that they plan on holding onto public lands but open them up to oil, natutal gas, timber, possibly coal. Maybe im thinking on the extreme end of things, but it looks like we could either lose our lands by selling to states /private, or keep them public but run into drilling/mining operations all over the place due to federal leasing programs. Seems like a lesser of two evils situation.

Where have you read that?

Yep & yep.

So call your Senators and let them know this pick is unacceptable to the camo crowd.

ChrisC - She's a co-sponsor to legislation that would sell over 3 million acres of public land, has expressed support for transfering management of public lands to the states and while she's been ok on a few things, she's not the kind of person you would pick to live up to TR's legacy, like PEOTUS told us he would do.

At best, the public loses the right to work on public land management because we've just handed it over to special interests who have tried for decades to eliminate our voice. At worst, we'll be selling off public lands.

If he didn't he wouldn't have just appointed who he did. Congress, the Republican Party, and if confirmed the interior secretary will all support disposal of federal lands. So you tell me what direction we are headed in reality not in what comes out of Donald's Trumps lying mouth. Trump is throwing away conservative principals, involving himself in cronie capitalism and on top of that appointing people to screw our public lands and wildlife. He's proposing infrastructure spending programs and government programs bigger than Obama and yet people who like the "R" are happily patting him on the back when obama would be blasted for the same thing. So the Republican Party gets to lose its conservative principals and we get to lose our public lands. Sounds like we're headed full steam in the right direction. Drain the swamp my ass. This man is just as big of a liar as Clinton, but ignore it because you want to.
