Wow, if it's not Iranian school girls, it's endangered species. Is there anything Trump won't attempt to murder for no good reason?

Oh, they absolutely have a good reason, and that reason is spelled “money.” That’s how our society rewards people.
It’s called incentive.

No no Florida GOPers. You gotta own what you've created. Taco wants to destroy your ecotourism to own the Libs? That's what you wanted right? To be in power and to make memes and own the Libs.

I agree entirely with the anger at these shitheads doing shithead things, but not the call for slaughter. Would you and your family like to jump-start the erasure, or will you be relying on other people and their families to do it first?

"Deepwater Horizon? Never heard of it, probably just another hoax by Democrats--get that offshore drilling platform going and don't bother me again." --Trump's EPA, probably.

No because it would make exactly 0 difference.

There's one modification of the Endangered Species Act I'd like to see passed ASAP: A clause stating that if the GOP becomes an endangered species it is NOT covered by any protections of the Act.

“Without protections for habitats and wildlife, the economic value of our natural resources to visitors will be greatly diminished,” the letter read. “Weakening the ESA would harm Florida’s wildlife and environment, as well as our communities and economy.”
And you can hear it whenever they talk.
They don't care about the environment, they don't care about wildlife.
They care about the ECONOMIC VALUE those thing bring to them.
These fuckers actually have the gall, and the lack of understanding to look at Mother Nature and go "what have you done for me lately".

Not that you actually care about the answer, but there are lots of foods that are fortified with B12, like nutritional yeast, plant-based milks, breakfast cereals, etc. The B12 added to these foods is produced by bacterial fermentation.

You don't think the more important factor was that these two shootings were clearly captured on camera?

Oh, don't worry. We're ALREADY doing it to ourselves in the most painful possible manner.
Don't need to speed-run it. It's a work in progress. And with the way mankind tends to be during periods of strife and deprivation, the end will come soon enough.

Remember that time in the 1970s?
There were a couple oil shocks in the 1970s? The USA and Europe had both become reliant on middle east oil--because it was lighter weight and much cheaper to extract and refine. Then. oil shocks. Oil supply only went down 4%, but the entire world lost its mind because of how dependent the US had lead the world into being on petro products. The USA and EU reacted with fuel conservation measures that worked--like the 55MPH speed limit, like investing in renewable energy, like mandating cars hit fuel efficiency targets. It also react with a lot of woo--like right/left-turn-on-red suddenly being made legal--the theory being that less time stopped is less gas burnt; which TLDR was debunked and also affirmatively massively increased pedestrian injuries/deaths....
As soon as the fuel crisis was over, which coincided with Reagan taking over.... The USA repealed ALL that stuff. Well except the right/left-on-red thing and CAFE. Reagan became famous for ripping the solar panels off the White House. Nothing more American than declaring "crisis over, no need to raise a finger to improve things".
2026?
Trump not only, by himself, creates an oil shock...he isn't even waiting until the oil shock is over before increasing oil dependence. It is even more dumb when you think about it. And I'm just myopically focusing on money and economics--not environmental impact.
A side note that is important. "Stagflation" was a word created in the 1970s, as hitherto economists didn't really think it was possible. Those economists (Keynesian) were tarred-and feathered in the USA...and their getting it so incredibly wrong....paved the way for the Chicago School to take over in the USA and Keynsians to be made a pejorative domestically, and supply-side economics which haunts us to this day. Everyone views everything as a supply-problem in the USA now. Oil dependence is a supply problem, unaffordable R1 housing is a supply problem, workers not being able to afford living is a supply problem of just needing to raise wages.

Can we just create an act to gut the country of Republicans? The world would be vastly improved.

How about they name part of the Keys the "Ron DeSantis Extinct and Former Coral Reef"? His name deserves to go down in history for some of his stances.

Ain't it great that they also call themselves "Christians!" I'll bet they haven't read enough of their own Bibles to understand just how well Jesus Christ and money mix. Their pastors probably skip those parts while in the pulpit, though they'd probably have to skip just about everything Jesus said in order to stay on the Republican message.

You obviously haven't met the Prosperity Gospel. Their pastors are very much preaching about money, but in the manner of Republican Jesus.
