The National Park Service employees’ Twitter campaign against President Donald Trump spread to other parks Wednesday with more tweets on climate change on official social media accounts.

Good news. I hope they're allowed to continue to freely express themselves and that all federal agencies provide opportunities for employees regardless of level to communicate opinions even if they're at variance with those of the executive.

I hope the non-military federal agencies will never be required to function with the same level of restrictions the military ones have. Something about freedom...

"Resist"? What a joke. It's funny and somewhat pathetic to see these people attempt to clothe themselves in the unearned glory of actual resistance fighters. The level of self-victimization is truly absurd.

There is nothing to resist. The election was held, and the left lost. It's time to accept the results and move on. The Democrats need to focus on rebuilding their shattered party- 8 years of Obama have seen them lose hundreds of elections at every level, from local to national. There are fewer Democrats in office now than any time in the past 50 years. If they have to resist anything, it is the urge to transform their party into a European-style left wing group with an agenda heavy on social issues and light on economics. Otherwise, their slide into obscurity will only continue.

How about Trump's freeze on EPA projects?

The poster may be a resource-hungry, live-for-the-moment boomer like Trump, but the rest of us want our children to enjoy this beautiful world in all its diversity and splendour, and not through the walls of a designer oxygen mask.

Trump is the first rational intelligent president that is NOT a tool or a flunkie for either the right or the left he defeated not only the Democrats and the liberal cabal that has had the entire country under control and heading to bizarre far left directions but he also defeated the /Republican party hacks who refused to stand up for liberty and justice at all. As for the fantasies about Carbon emmsions and the fake science over climate change it is idiotic. Yes there are swings in climate, and no we dont have enough data to know if this is just a recent swing or a massive change due to ALL EFFECTS not just human. And as for carbon it is a GOOD thing not a bad thing, all plants NEED carbon dioxide and it actually HELPS them.

and in a final note, AP is now suspect as they are mad at Trump's press secretary because he refused to allow them the first question at a press conference which was their "so called" right....the Trump White House is having to have to teach the US media to be honest and REPORT the news not commentate and twist it as they have been, esp CNN, NBC, and CBS. Sadly almost all major media has been increasingly biased and the fact that some Park service people are upset because they are losing their perceived control over public opinion based on false science is no surprirse. It is not really news at all.

And that's where YOU just do get it (to borrow a common refrain from Trump supporters). You keep treating the election like it was simply a football game and that we can all just get back to the office on Monday morning, but at the end of the day -- at the end of every day that narcicistic man-occupies the Oval Office, Donald J. Trump is a man who likes to grab unconsenting women by the "pussy" because he believes his wealth allows it.

He's a contemptible piece of s#$t. I know it. You know it. And most of America knows it as well.

We aren't going away, sparky.
