22. While amusing because it illustrates Trump's total incompetence & lies, I feel badly this

Thu Jun 18, 2026, 11:33 AM

Yesterday

National monument is so degraded and nearly destroyed. When I saw "the Beast" and all those attendant monster SUVs driving over it a few months ago, it was such a kick in the face. I do not know why there was not more outrage at that desecration. They could have at least driven near it and someone carted Trump's fat ass out there in a golf cart if necessary, but to drive over it? I'm still livid.
