It's disappointing and annoying that the US National Park Service has become a meme hero for "resisting" Donald Trump.

Remember when "resisting" meant something more than posting failed snarky tweets and making a new Twitter page when you get banned? Ooh, what rebellious badasses you are, making a new Twitter account.

Admittedly, it's the reaction of retards on the internet who turned this into a big deal and not the park rangers themselves.

I agree completely. He's changing the way people communicate. I [b]do not[/b] think tweeting is presidential, as much as I don't want the national parks to use it as a platform. Unfortunately, it seems it's becomes the norm. As hard as it is for me to accept, whatever it takes for the parks to get their message across. We're going to be losing land that has been preserved the future. Trump needs to be stopped.

Trump is sitting In teddy's office. What a fucking joke Trump is.

You're right. My kids can do this too. It's ridiculous. It kills me that a man, who is our president, and doesn't believe global warming exists, is allowed to make environmental decisions.

and thank you. :)

Maybe instead of just popping off you can spend some time on the Alt National Park Service Facebook page. Run by rangers who are pissed and sharing the inside info in to how FUCKED our public lands are under this administration.

Believe it or not, some of us actually care about that kind of thing and APPRECIATE the 'rogue rangers' for stepping up to give a couple million of us the inside story.

@Ynotisay: If you have zero interest in Twitter or people spewing online and thinking in matters, and you have a lot of interest in smart, strategic, necessary resistance, then WHY are you defending the US National Park Service when they're doing those things you say you have zero interest in, and NOT doing that thing you say you have a lot of interest in? They're on Twitter, which you say you're not interested in, spewing online and thinking it matters, which you say you're not interested in. They are not taking part in any form of smart, strategic, or necessary resistance, which you are interested in. So shouldn't you be completely ignoring the park rangers?

This, from a man who only gives a fuck when it's convenient in an online forum? Telling others to learn how to give a fuck? I know how to do this. You, however, do not. Take part in an actual form of resistance someday. Maybe you'll learn to give a fuck.

And no, it doesn't need to be physical violence. You yanks are lucky. You have it good, you can civilly resist. In my homeland, we had no such concept.

@BlueMetalChick: Hear about the upcoming march in D.C.? Guess not.

And did you just say "yanks?" Are you telling me you're not even an American? And you're worried about OUR national park system? Wow. Gutsy.

I'm done on this one. Good luck to you. (BTW...glad you got out of a bad scene).

@Ynotisay: I live in America but was not born here. I have been here for some time but plan on moving again soon. Traveling is...kind of part of the whole ethnic thing, y'know? I was seeking asylum as a war refugee in Australia but could not stay, but they told me I could come to America or Canada and find a home.

A march as least is better than tweeting. Maybe the park rangers should take example and march too.

It's not like they were doing much anyway
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
They have a point. He's been cutting the budgets of the EPA and its sub-organizations waaaaaay too fucking much. But they gotta get real about it.

Congress caused the shut down. Not Obama. Thats not how the fucking government works.
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@Headlines: You don't understand, Headlines, he doesn't care how the government works. It works how HE wants it to, when it's convenient for him.

It's resistance for the weak/cowards.
JaggedLittlePill · 46-50, F
Really? So you would risk your job ?
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@JaggedLittlePill: Like it's a risk to your job to say "lel dunald trump iz cuttin our budjetz we shud resizt him lelz amirite m8" and post it to Twitter.
TestingLimitations · 31-35, M
@JaggedLittlePill: Yes. What's a job to the future of our country/world? Fear stops them.

@LvChris: So it came off of Fox News to begin with. See? It did not begin with a tweet storm. Figures it would be Breitbart to start stupid shit like that.

If "no one lost their shit because he said it on TV" then it wouldn't have been on the front page of a newspaper. Although, this IS Chicago, and Trump has a massive hateboner for Chicago, which means Chicago press is ALWAYS on standby to slam him for anything he says.

@LvChris: I don't see much action happening because of some park rangers jerking themselves off by posting drawings on Twitter celebrating how badass they are, sorry.
JaggedLittlePill · 46-50, F
Hmm. They do more than post memes on the internet. Just my 2 cents. That is part of what they are doing ...but they are also raising funds and forming protests etc.
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
Then they should spend more time doing that and less time drawing stupid shit like [i]this.[/i]
