Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

So, there was a vote in congress and senate for a law repealing it, or is this just another royal decree from the white palace?
Doesn’t matter. In the US legal system only the injured endangered species can sue him.
Ah, the White Castle and its results:
As much as not protecting endangered species sucks and is stupid, what you're talking about is the MUCH more concerning part.
Annoucement by annoucement, the US accepts rule by decree.
How, in the ever-loving-fuck, are people not marching in the streets (I am aware people are, but as a percentage of the population it's really not enough given what's happening)
Most of these fucking MAGAts enjoy hunting and fishing, in the pristine wilderness, and rage about the beauty of nature. Bunch of fucking hypocrites.
The main thing the Endangered Species Act does is limit development in the habitat of endangered species. The President of the United States is a developer. Of course he's targeting the Endangered Species Act. He hates it with a passion.
Also, his felony convictions are related to the overvaluation of land he owns that can't actually be developed due to a conservation easement that's the result of the Endangered Species Act.
They only claim to love nature so they can kill it. They bitch about seasons and the government limiting what they can take. Just like they say they “love America” but want to mow down the forests that make it beautiful and pave over it with oil derricks and gas pipelines. The same way they’re all about “gun safety” but leave guns where they can be used for everything from accidental shootings to be stolen and used in crimes.
They don’t mean what they say.
I remember in the 80s my dad having a Ducks Unlimited sticker on his truck. I asked him what it meant, and he said "conservatism is about conservation, because we all want to keep America's natural beauty." Compare that to today, we're past the tipping point on so many things because they just refuse to allow the country's rich to lose a cent to remediating our mess. In a movie, this would be an implausible timeline.
i hope he goes extinct
So we can now shoot bald eagles?
Noice!
/s
Seemingly, no. Bald eagles were taken off the federal threatened/endangered lists in like 2007, but there are other, more specific protection laws in place protecting the bald eagle.

Alright. I've decided I'll no longer follow the Controlled Substances Act, because I guess laws are just suggestions now.
Oh no friend - the laws still apply to you. Get rich then you can flout the law all you like!
Just make sure someone in govt benefits as well and you're gold
Only three animals will be allowed... Chicken, beef and pork..
If only these endangered animals were tasty, it's their own fault for not evolving so that we don't farm them
Some are tasty, like the Galapagos tortoise.
...I kinda want one. Not sure if as a pet or an entree.
