WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans added a provision to their sweeping tax cut package authorizing sales of hundreds of thousands of acres of public lands in Nevada and Utah, prompting outrage from Democrats and environmentalists who called it a betrayal that could lead to drilling, mining and logging in sensitive areas.

    Hey Republicans, Say goodbye to your favorite pristine hunting and fishing grounds. People don’t buy land without plans of developing it.

    Fuck this. Fuck it all.

    Get on the land and start kicking them out. It is not the governments to sell. It belongs to we the people

    With outrageous garbage like this in the bill we can be guaranteed not a single democrat will vote for it, right? RIGHT?

      Well they all voted for the internet censorship bill (the only nay votes were from two Republicans) so I’m sure it’ll be more than just Schumer voting for it right before they all go on TV and talk about how “concerned” they are with the actions of the Republican party.
