Trump Admin. to Gut the Endangered Species Protection Act

[RF667799]

Ridiculous hyperbole. That's not what this is about. This is about the whole principle of protecting the habitats of endangered species, not a dozen salamanders.
Reducing large issues to ridiculously exaggerated simplicities just wastes your time and attention. You want some ridiculous hyperbole? Here...
You lot won't be satisfied until the only animals left are domestic and living in pens.
How's that for reducing a large issue to an exaggerated simplicity?

Progress has never been held up or halted because an isolated species of an insignificant creature was in the way?

My principle is consistent. Nature displaces or wipes out species all the time, sometimes the mechanism of that is another species. Adapt or die. Humans are a natural part of a natural world.

Hey - Doesn't Donny Junior have a god given right to have a stuffed California condor, a bald eagle, and a spotted owl, mounted on his wall? Huh? Well doesn't he? Taxidermy can be a new Trump jobs program! They can teach it at Harvard using government grant money.

Pretty sure he can't just issue "a rule" for something like this. Pretty sure that's Congress's turf.

Then of course, there is the attempt to ignore a SCOTUS ruling...

Just keep giving the Dems advertising ammo for the Midterms, Trump. Always a good idea.

They're a bunch of duped fools. Some of them are rich, greedy assholes. And some, I'm sure, are fine people.

I think that is the problem, the rule was not from congress, but an interpretation likely
by the EPA of what "Harm" means. Had congress codified it, there would be little Trump could do
to change it, but they choose to leave it open to interpretation by people managing the agency.
