1. WTAF?

4. WTF is going on? Jesus. FOFA huh?

[Magoo48]

10. What's the matter with these fucking guys?

[underpants]

2. Oh wow! Just like Bush's "Healthy Forests" act n/t

[Comfortably_Numb]

14. Who can forget the ok polluters you can go wild act, I mean, Clean Skies Initiative?

[Xavier Breath]

3. Can't we just buy bigger forest rakes?

5. They might have also included "please don't ever vote for us" in their bill. This is probably the dumbest

thing I've seen from Democrats in recent memory. The problem isn't timber - there are plenty of trees being cut. The problem is a lack of sawmills to process the cut trees. Watch any northbound Interstate and you'll see truck after truck heading north to Canada to be turned into lumber and other products.

6. WTF?!!

[yellow dahlia]

7. I second that emotion.

8. DEMOCRATS: STOP FUCKING CAPITULATING TO FASCISTS!!!

PS: Yes, I know "not all Democrats" are capitulating. But as a whole, in general, the response to this nightmare from the DNC et al has been beyond demoralizing and enraging. I won't say any more because I'll get in trouble.

9. I want a legitimate news organization to report this.

I will not believe a word of a special interest group until it is confirmed by a legitimate news organization.

12. Agreed. These orgs may be right, but I'm currently looking for independent analysis.

[Magoo48]

11. Need something to do you two? There's fascists to fight.

15. Who is that source? This interpretation just seems contrary to the Padilla I voted for....

Mountainguy, post #13, is on the right track — listing who endorses the bill.

17. Oregon Wild is a pretty hard core environmental activist

group and hss been actively working against even Clinton’s NW Forest Plan and federal timber harvests generally for decades now. I wouldn’t rely on this as an objective source. I worked/managed in federal land mgmt here in Oregon for much of my career — and have deslt with this org. I would advise keeping an open mind until you/we know the full story.

18. FOFA? No. FAFO.

Whose nests are we feathering, folks?

[Grins]

19. Well, as long as they rake the forests. We need a better class of Democrats.

The current class is asleep.
