    Through the second half of Larsson's question I got the impression that he was trying to pull one over Spicer.

    And in the meantime, for a second question, since that's in fashion these days: can he tell the Forest Service to start logging our forests aggressively again to provide jobs for Americans, wealth for the Treasury, and not spend $3.5 billion a year fighting forest fires?
    That was satirical, wasn't it?

    No?

    Oh my.... Forestry as it must not be practiced! Forests can (must?) be a source of long-term sustainable revenue. But not this way.

    I think it wasn't.

    Scientists also suggest that some forests of Washington and Oregon are overstocked and need to be thinned.
    This gives it some perspective, at first it sounded like he just wanted to chop away at all the forests. It still sounds a lot like he cares more about the monetary gain than anything else. Spicer's answer that Trump wants to make use of all the resources on US soil sounds like he agrees about environmental concerns being secondary. Considering that forest fires are partially started by humans to clear the land etc., it all seems a bit cynical to me.

    I was thinking more the bit on forest-fire control costing too much, so cut down the forests to keep them from burning down. Like a satirical distortion of curation efforts which mitigate risk of fire by clearing and shaping growth.

    Trump's insanity is finally forcing me to interact with my Congressman. Not that it will do any good.

    Rolling back Obamacare makes sense now. If you kill off anyone who's unhealthy, you no longer have a healthcare problem.

    We just witnessed someone buy a political office.

    This is why Trump got elected

    wait.
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Sorry my intercontinental telepathy is acting up today, what are you talking about?
    Being better than the worst does not inherently make you good. But being better than the rest lets you brag.
