Sounds to me like someone is laying the groundwork for an escape hatch. Isn't Argentina where where the last batch of nazi goat fuckers fled to?

Guess the rat-bastards will have to learn to speak Spanish after all.

Stop Congress’s Attack on our National Forests. Urge your senators to reject the so-called Fix Our Forests Act. act.biologicaldiversity.org/LjZaOSTJ90KM...

Stop politicians’ attack on national forests

The so-called Fix Our Forests Act would lead to more calamitous clearcuts, more habitat-fragmenting roads, and worse water quality. Urge your senators to reject this bill. https://biodiv.us/40W5ocV

Democratic governors form a public health alliance in a rebuke of Trump

They're framing it as a way to share data and messages about threats, emergency preparedness and public health policy at a time when the federal government isn't doing its job in public health.

At first glance, it's just typical GOP rat-fuckery. But this one has a documented quid pro quo at it's heart. In a State or Nation that retained even the slightest modicum of morality and ethics, this action would trigger impeachment of Trump, Berger and Hall.
