Pig headed Brown leaves and Butt headed Newsom enters. Possibly the only thing that will change is the fires get more deadly and the fools virtue signal F*** Trump, climate change is real!
In the 60s we learned how to thin trees and clear flammable debris from our Boy Scout camp which was just a few miles from where Smokey was found. As mentioned, this method of managing Forrests was abonded 20-30 years ago in favor of letting Gaia heal the earth. Now they are paying the price. When one pretends they can ignore reality and live in a Unicorn fantasy land eventually there is a price to be paid. They are paying it. Unfortunately, the gummint will probably step in to prevent their suffering. Wanna bet tax dollars go to rebuilding celebritys mansions?
Telling just like it is.
Point is that the “firefighters” virtue posturing about the President’s tough talk probably include union officials whose primary incentive isn’t fire prevention but fire job fostering.

The counties have to take over the management of these forests.
Not the state, and not the federal government.
Been harping about this since 1906.
End of story.
Thanks for the quote. Succinct. And I didnt have it before.
DEMOCRATS pandering to the enviro-whackos in the state ALL FOR CAMPAIGN BUCKS. Been going on for a LONG time.
Big money in that business. And it kills.
Trump needs to double down on this, filling in the details about the causes of the problem and its cure.
Fed money to states abused
Like puerto rico disaster relief from feds going into pockets of the elite rat government
Liberals have been killing people with their insane policies for many years now.
I have a cottontail bunny living under my hay stack that is smarter than Katy Perry.
these outraged people responding to the president are the ones making it political or partisan. Trump is only speaking facts and truth - their minds are so warped as to go right to drawing the conclusions they do from the facts/truth Trump spoke.
This is the core problem with modern America. Critical hard analysis of a situation is superseded by the politically correct, emotional narrative. Pseudo environmental programs that do not allow scientifically valid forest management do indeed result in catastrophic wildfires with the loss of human life and property. However the narrative calls for a “ natural habitat” and “destructive” humans either adapt, constrict their numbers or suffer nature’s wrath. That is the way liberals think and the American public no longer has the education or knowledge to understand the consequences when they give them or allow them to seize power.
The USFS never managed the forests.
It was the timber companies that built the roads and bridges and burned the slash piles and brush.
And built the fire breaks otherwise known as clear cuts.
And they’d pay us to do that hard work.
President Trump is pragmatic, so he talks about solving problems in a realistic way.
Leftists do not want solutions. They have a victim mentality, they crave attention, and they want expressions of sympathy.
Yet, whenever they do get expressions of sympathy, they scream “we don’t want your thoughts and prayers!”
He’s right, but if the CA libs want fires every year than so be it.
Bump for later
