Republicans begin effort to gut the Endangered Species Act

[Mormolyce]

I imagine in the 1600s people wanted to put aside the threat of extinction in order to preserve the job of "dodo hunter".

haha, we're literally being ran by Captain Planet villains.

He acts like Looten Plunder, but he looks more like a cross between Hoggish Greedly and Duke Nukem.

Gee, thanks Republicans, doing "god's work."

They'll put two of each of the endangered species on a boat before they wipe out the rest.

Wonder what excuses the usual suspects are going to come up with to defend this one...

They already explained it in that thread about those cave spiders not that long ago: What business does the government have telling what I can or can't do with my land?

This just in Trump's biggest supporter greatly endorses his environmental program.

When do they announce that electrolytes are what plants crave?

You already know this is coming.

Is this part of the so called "War on Wolves" legislation? If so, I am ok with it to a point. I'd like to see the federal gov take a step back from states authority. If we here in WI know our wolf population can use some pruning the muppets on the hill do NOT know better than our DNR.

Beyond that, no comment.

So, real talk. Is this a political stunt like the EPA thing, or does this tripe actually have a chance at passing?

They have already passed worse, republicans are using some arcane rule that allows them to reverse regulations without a super majority vote and Trump just robo signs everything.

House Natural Resources Committee Chairman Rob Bishop (R-Utah) wants to repeal it entirely, arguing that "it has never been used for the rehabilitation of species" but instead has "been used to control the land."

That's because you need to save habitats in order to save species, since habitat loss is one of the biggest factors, you utter imbecile of a representative.

There's a reason why you never see non-sentient life on Coruscant. It's because the inhabitants of that planet decided that the best thing to do was to turn the entire planet in to one giant city.

Now they have to import food and water from other planets because they royally fucked themselves over with that shortsighted plan! And we do not even have neighboring planet systems to negotiate and we're using "been used to control the land" as an excuse to kill animal life? Oh man, I sure hope we discover a way to reach other galaxies before we kill ourselves off!

I am, of course, being hyperbolic. But seriously, people really need to learn why habitat preservation is needed for animal preservation and rebuilding the species.

This is my favorite quote about the administration, by far.

Shady as shit cut at 11 seconds and 16 seconds and 33 seconds.

Also, notice that she lists out "in some places" when talking about physical barriers? And how the first to solutions she references before the physical barriers (walls) are technology and more personnel? Also, tougher punishments for employers who hire illegals.

Also, she has always been behind deporting illegal immigrants convicted of violent offenses, if memory serves.

That video is some pretty piss-poor propaganda and is in no way what you claim it is. She literally did not say "build DAT WALL", nor did she advocate for a complete border wall as a solution.

Literally what the fuck are you going on about? This may be one of the most dishonest posts I've read here in quite some time.

What the heck does that have to do with anything? It's just deflection

Fuck, beaten to it.

[Crissi]

...what does any of that have to do with the ESA being possibly removed?

[Xeones]

It's like republicans keep trying to step to new lows.

How is the endangered species act something you can even think to touch? Do they hate Bald Eagles?

He was reading from a book, are you dense? The book is right there. It even says Cambridge Public Library on the podium.

And are you seriously trying to imply any of this nonsense, even if it weren't grievously taken out of context, is actually equivalent? Weakest deflection game I've seen in a long time.

Because this is impossible to defend so that's all they have left.

Extremely. Spinning is all that keeps them from collapsing into a black hole.

Gotta reopen those vacuum factories, as Skroe put it. Clearly that is what is holding us back from being great. So great.

Sad!
