Trump Emboldened (anti-government) Extremists. They Could Spell Trouble For Biden’s Interior Department.

**SNIP**

Trump’s four years in office greatly empowered anti-government extremists.

His Interior Department repeatedly hosted people who want to see federal lands sold off. Fierce critics of endangered species protections and federal land management were tapped for powerful department posts. William Perry Pendley, a conservative lawyer with extreme anti-environmental views who spent his career lobbying for the sale of federal lands, was put in charge of Interior’s Bureau of Land Management.

Trump issued pardons for people like Utah state Rep. Phil Lyman (R) - who in 2014 led anti-federal land protesters on an illegal ATV ride on public lands that were off limits to off-road vehicles - and Dwight Lincoln Hammond Jr. and Steven Hammond, the father-son Oregon ranchers whose arson conviction preceded the armed takeover of the Malheur refuge.

On the final day of Trump’s presidency, then-Interior Secretary David Bernhardt restored the Hammonds’ grazing permit, which was revoked after the two men were convicted of intentionally setting fire to federal land.

Along with pardoning some of their criminal activity, Trump at times applauded violent radicals, including the pro-Trump insurrectionists who stormed the Capitol, as “patriots.”

The radicals are making up the rules. They're not extremists. Nope.

They are not antigovernment extremists.
They are people who had their votes manipulated to install an antiAmerican regime in DC.
This regime needs to vacate.
They engaged in treasonous, unconstitutional activity.

Belief in small government is not “anti-government” except to swamp criminals who are anti-citizen.

Ah, the MSN fails again! So, we have “anti-government extremists” against anti-American extremists? Who shall win? Win what? The destruction of the Republic, or worse? This idiocy drones on and on.

The entire Dimmocommie party is now radicals and terrorists. Look at this horrible "Covid" bill--which devotes all of a dime to Covid for every dollar--they just forced on us, which pays illegal aliens the same $1400 it pays some of us. Is there a bigger slap in the face of all actual Americans? This is why Pelousy put that fence up around the Capitol and the soldiers--in case Americans decided to revolt against first the absolutely stolen election and now this nightmare bill--which will cost every single American more than $5000, no matter what your financial state is. And just wait--HR 1, which will prevent anyone other than Dimmocommies from winning any future elections--is next down the pipes. Wham, wham, WHAM across the face of all Americans. You should thank your Dimmocommie legislators and your RINO legislators for picking you bodily up and throwing you down HARD into a barless jail of future want and poverty no matter how hard you work. They have made us energy dependent on our enemies once more. They have eliminated tens of thousands of jobs. They have invited the filthy diseased criminal trash who can't be bothered with our immigration laws in their lust to get here and get signed up for a lifetime of Uncle Sugar's goodies. And all their extended families and all the anchor babies they are busy pumping out--all so they can waddle over and vote D for these monsters.

I want to reduce Nancy Pelousy's fake smile to dust, and tear the nads off the criminal posing as our president and others such as Kemp, Schiff, Schumer, Warnock, etc. Let them watch me feed them to dogs. Then let's see how they laugh at us. Any other suggestions, when we can't even have our lawful votes counted to vote these criminals out?

Instead of anti-government extremists, I wish there were anti-media extremists.

All these writers, reporters, anchors, talking heads, etc have names, no?

They can be found...
