(6,991 posts)I'm also not too hopeful on this either.
Most Dems haven's seemed to have learned HOW to fight hard enough vs thuglicans 😢 I respect and admire Pres. Obama a great deal, but constantly reaching out that olive branch to thuglicans and having them cut his hand completely OFF at the wrist these past 8 years has been so disconcerting. Which is why I was SO happy to see Pres. Obama beating thuglicans at their own game IE: Pres. Obama using the Antiquities Act of 1906, which will designate 1.35 million acres Bears Ears as a national monument (Hopefully it'll stick, but if thuglicans go after and somehow "steal" this land back, it wouldn't be the first time as we know that Native Land has been stolen from them).
Per thuglican Chaffetz:
Utah's Rep. Jason Chaffetz was very upset and called President Obama "arrogant" for using the Antiquities Act of 1906, to designate the 1.35-million-acre Bears Ears area as a national monument. Chaffetz says that he may investigate that "arrogant" Pres. Obama over this.
Like I said, Pres. Obama (With an 81 years ago assist from Democrat FDR) beat them at their OWN game and they're "angry"
Great win which will hopefully stick, but I wished that we as Dems would grow a permanent "pair."
