Well, at least one Right Lean type group has begun to realize that they have been played. That's a start I guess :lol:
Hunting And Fishing Groups Are Starting To Turn On Trump's Interior Secretary | HuffPost
Of course. Duh!
Everyone heard what they wanted to hear when Trump spoke---everyone, even his haters. That's how I realized he was playing a giant con on everyone. I knew that he couldn't deliver on all those "deals." After all, how do you please "Drill baby, drill" and the "I loves to hunt and fish" crowd at the same time?
Hunting And Fishing Groups Are Starting To Turn On Trump's Interior Secretary | HuffPost
The morning after being confirmed by the Senate and sworn in on March 1, Zinke showed up to his new post in Washington sporting a cowboy hat and riding a horse. Hours later, flanked by representatives of hunting, conservation and gun rights groups, he signed a pair of orders to “expand access to public lands and increase hunting, fishing, and recreation opportunities nationwide,” according to the Interior Department.
For many in the outdoor sporting community, it was a sign Zinke would have their back.
Over the last four and a half months, however, some of those same organizations have changed their tune as Zinke has cozied up to fossil fuel interests and come to support a budget proposal — one he initially vowed to fight — that would slash funding for land acquisition and conservation programs while promoting increased drilling and extraction on public lands.
“The level of frustration is growing daily."
Of course. Duh!
