An emergency order removes protections covering more than half the land managed by the U.S. Forest Service as the president aims to boost timber production.
No one can save the US. This is what people voted for (including the protest non voters!), and that’s how government is supposed to work: do what it was voted in for.
The dude cheated. Come on, there is no way around it. He legally cheated by gerrymandering and having his minions doing the cheating for him, but he cheated.
By any sane reading of the constitution he should have been barred from running again due to having been part of an insurrection. But SCOTUS said nah let the voters decide.

Unless you vote Democrat, and then it’s “We tried to do the one thing and Joe Lieberman bullied us :(” or “sure, we’ll get you internet, just submit to this seven year 36-point process before we can disperse the funds; we even kept it down to 18 subcommittees!” or “we’re going to build a high speed train over thirty years, fund it with a one-time bond allowance, and make sure it costs ten times more than we funded it for, but don’t worry, federal grants will make up for it, right? Right? Why are you looking at me like that? Right?”
Exhibit A.
Pro tip: you’re allowed to be critical of the people you vote for. They won’t explode in a puff of wishes and fairy dust with a thunderous “oh well”.
Allowed to be critical? No one but the DNCs most senior staff would be dumb enough to not be highly critical of all the dumbass choices they made that doomed that election. Fucking Dick Chaney? Why in the holy fuck would you think a highly publicized Chaney endorsement would A: make a single Trump cultist give any level of interest in voting against the orange one, or B; not deflate your voter base because we ALL STILL REMEMBER WHY WE HATE DICK CHANEY!!
