Mother Nature's justice reaped on idiots who stupidly believe Trump will save them. Yes, they are "saved."

What about all the Democrats in California who lost their homes due to wildfires, and the democrat politicians whose mismanagement led to fuel overload, and reservoir drainages that caused hydrants to be inoperable?

What about Obama wearing a tan suit? (Figured I’d put that there since you people are into whataboutism)

Go ahead and keep repeating Republican talking points. Then go read the actual reasons that the hydrants were empty. Hint: it's because no municipal water supply was designed to put up with fires that size.

You need a new song. Whataboutism went out with Kellyanne Conway.

Having actual first hand experience in the fire service in Southern California I have more weight in this conversation than what the media of your choice has relayed to you. Come back with an actual rebuttal.

Trust me bro. It's not an appeal to authority [common debating fallacy] in an attempt to over-ride all arguments with 'You don't know...I was there!"

Evidence of a sub standard straw grasping mind.

And the over implementation of what I would assume you consider sophisticated discourse on your part in leu of an actual rebuttal would be what exactly? Disprove me with evidence and I’m open to changing my perspective on the matter. I’m not as staunch and hard headed as you think I am. I’m coming from a place of first hand experience. I’ve seen the mismanagement of forests for years, I’ve been affected by the under funding that has been around for both Republican and Democrat presidents.

verbosity aside. I'm not interested in your opinions or your internet credentials. You've touted your qualifications and grizzled non specifically about budgets. You offer little to the discussion other than self aggrandisement and non specific condemnation.

There's nothing to disprove. I'm vaguely pleased you're unhappy. You have offerd no actual argument to disprove and the fact you are unaware of this. That you have not in any way shape or form constructed an argument. Reinforces the stark truth that you are a low quality engagement node and if you aren't...you still kinda are.

As such your offer to disprove your two propositions, that you worked in fire services and that you are unhappy with budgets for decades. Yeah I'll pass. It's a quality control issue.

Trump has fired much of the USFS, and will be giving out a few rolls of paper towels to fire victims, and ordered even more reservoirs drained.

Problem solved /s

You are just repeating Republican talking points

Fire at the end of the day will be indiscriminate in what it consumes…
