🍾💸. Well heck yeah. Isn't that why a lot of these folks got into CONgress in the first place? 👹

Go talk to PG&E. . . it was their transformer blowing that started the fire. . .

More like unattended tree trimming...lack of access roads....inability to make fire breaks...closing the saw mills and protecting the spotted owl....all results of the dims policies,

Well about now, I'm wishing someone would have found one at the top of my street. 👹🐌 New houses going in. 🤔

See. They are correct. Where’s the president on this? Just because they used the headline, doesn’t mean Trump knows they are US citizens. Right? LOL!

[Enlightened1]

Oh I thought they wanted to leave the Union, and they could manage things on their own?

Now they are begging for Federal dollars?

PG&E line-maintenance employee comments. Previous fines levied for lack of maintenance which led to fires.

They want the President to tweet about them .... :^D

Sounds like a plan...a small taste of freedom.

And in many cases these fires are related to poor forestry management with environmentalists abandoning controlled burns and debris removal.

Let Illegals pay for it—They can rebuild the wine county. No money for treasonious California. Let brown tax the mush headed Liberals who voted these Socialists in power in Kommie Kalifornia—Mexico’s 36th State.
