Trump's Monster: Bulldozers Now Ripping Through Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument (Photos Video)

ALERT: Trump’s wall is being built through Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument. Bulldozers are ripping a scar through the most spectacular Sonoran desert ecosystem on the planet. Endangered species, Native American sacred sites and protected wilderness are under immediate threat.

words to describe how I feel about this. I have exhausted my vast vocabulary of epithets and cuss words along with negative descriptive terms.

It's part of the Shock Doctrine... to horrify and push us past the limit s that we are left not knowing what to do within reason because this is not reasonable. It's wear us down to the point of compliance by way of exhaustion.

Trump and Republicans seem not to care at all how their actions affect even US citizens. Part of that may be that Trump assumes, mostly correctly, that everyone who lives along the border is Hispanic and thus not real people or real citizens with any rights. That Republicans bow down to this buffoon’s every action, irrational or not, is totally baffling. I understand that they fear his tweets, but do none of them have a care for what he is destroying—not just our physical world but any trust in government, racial harmony, ability to accomplish anything meaningful through government, and probably advancing a recession?

throwing the office to him by way of cheating. He only gives a shit about being praised, the enablers are evil and want to turn this into another authoritarian regime complete with slaves and all that goes with that abomination.

No it's not. Nothing baffling about it at all.

"...but do none of them have a care for what he is destroying....?

Rhetorical question?

Look, I'm not ragging on you but. surely you must know something of what is going on here.. I mean you are on DU, after all..

Where can I start...or end.. russians, saudis, uae, american fascists- the world oligarch club...

and as he weeps seeing his winter white house almost damaged beyond repair, a direct strike meteor hit makes a sink hole out of what's left of that property.

This project needs to be stopped about a minute after the next president has stopped all ANWR oil exploration activity.

I'm glad he said last night that his decisions are not "political" at all. He's doing this for the "people". Otherwise, I might have thought that the science illiterate was making a political decision to impress his base, while giving the political finger to the opposition.

I don't think most people are apathetic about his atrocities, they're just numb. Its something else every....single....day. I can look at a post heading and know its going to send my stomach into spasms, so I skip over a lot anymore.
