And now trump is gutting Lyndon Johnson's 1954 separation of church & state clause so that non-profit churches can raise & funnel their monies into candidates of their choice.
oooge....- xongsmith, 5.7d

Actually it appears to me that this is done to allow these law makers to purchase guns. Any rule preventing the mentally ill from buying guns would clearly preclude the law makers from purchasing them. Since they are clearly out of their freakin' minds!

Well, criminal and insane people have taken over Congress and the Whitehouse and are in the process of stacking the deck on the Supreme Court with nutty religious zealots, so get ready for them to do anything they want to with absolute impunity.What if Eleanor Roosevelt had wings? -- Monty Python One important characteristic of a theory is that is has survived repeated attempts to falsify it.

Any rule preventing the mentally ill from buying guns would clearly preclude the law makers from purchasing them. Since they are clearly out of their freakin' minds! Yep, I saw that idea over and over today on facebook. It's as if we not only somehow got an insane psychopathic narcissist in the Whitehouse, but he poisoned the entire GOP in Congress with something that made them insane also. There is so much nutty stuff going on right now, in Congress and the Whitehouse, that it is really hard to keep track of. There are conspiracy theories that some kind of major conspiracy is afoot and they are trying to distract us and their own supporters while they fuck us over, royally. Back before the orange nutjob was sworn in, I posted a few places on the web that a Shit-Storm and a Cluster-Fuck were about to mate and release a plague on humanity. The reality has been even worse than I feared and it is metastasizing.What if Eleanor Roosevelt had wings? -- Monty Python One important characteristic of a theory is that is has survived repeated attempts to falsify it.

Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ 4th District) on Monday introduced HJR 46, which would allow drilling in our national parks. Gosar also received $250K from Big Energy.
This was posted this afternoon by altnps.org the Alt National Park Service. It is interesting to see the growing number of rogue career employees at federal agencies who have organized to resist the Trump agenda and publish data and reports and updates about what is happening within the agencies, disobeying various gag orders from the Whitehouse. It's the INTERNET baby! It worked during the various "Arab Spring Uprisings" and it will work for resistance to the evil Empire and the Dark Side. The only thing that could stop it is an EMP, but then Tweety wouldn't have anyone to read his childish tweets.What if Eleanor Roosevelt had wings? -- Monty Python One important characteristic of a theory is that is has survived repeated attempts to falsify it.

Christians with guns are the scariest of all.What if Eleanor Roosevelt had wings? -- Monty Python One important characteristic of a theory is that is has survived repeated attempts to falsify it.

Bill to Cut Forest Service and BLM Enforcement is a Poacher’s Dream, Sportsman’s Nightmare
quote: This is exactly the plan that the Bundy bunch were pushing when they tried to steal the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. Constitutional sheriffs should be the only ones to enforce the law on public lands according to them. Of course since many of these western counties are sparsely populated they don't have enough tax revenues to pay for this so I guess we'll just have to sell some of the land to rich people (who should own it anyway).

HR 621 & HR 622 were different but equally crazy bills. Looks like both have been withdrawn. Maybe a slight nod to sanity.

He is still a nutjob fellow traveler with the Bundys and a pawn of the wealthy who want to clearcut and stripmine America. A lot of these early bills are just distractions while the Senate, the House, and Whitehouse are testing how much the press and public are paying attention. They assume that the Democratic public will lose interest fairly fast and then they can grab America by the pussy and no one will be organized to protest. This has worked well for them since the Reagan years.What if Eleanor Roosevelt had wings? -- Monty Python One important characteristic of a theory is that is has survived repeated attempts to falsify it.

H.R.861 - To terminate the Environmental Protection Agency.
This sounds like a great idea.

This photograph is part of the Environmental Protection Agency's series to "Photographically Document Subjects of Environmental Concern," compiled 1972-77.

None of this will matter when the oceans food chain collapses.
"With higher metabolic rates in the warmer water, and therefore a greater demand for food, there is a mismatch with less food available for carnivoresthe bigger fish that fisheries industries are based around," says Associate Professor Nagelkerken. "There will be a species collapse from the top of the food chain down." https://phys.org/...0-global-marine-analysis-food-chain.html When this happens the planet will starve to death, triggering the greatest mass extinction not seen in this world for 60 million years.
