(NewsNation) — President Joe Biden visited a fire station in the Los Angeles area for a briefing as firefighters continue to battle the raging wildfires that have engulfed the area.

Biden was joined by First lady Jill Biden and California Gov. Gavin Newsom at the Santa Monica Fire Station #5 for the brief visit.

The president posted on X Tuesday that he would be providing any “federal assistance that is needed to help suppress the terrible Pacific Palisades fire.”

“Earlier tonight, FEMA approved a Fire Management Assistance Grant to support areas that are impacted and help reimburse the state of California for the immediate firefighting costs. My Administration will do everything it can to support the response. I urge the residents of the Pacific Palisades and the surrounding areas of Los Angeles to stay vigilant and listen to local officials,” he posted.

Local ABC affiliate broke into programming and it was a big photo op, with firefighters standing at attention. Why were they not fighting the fires?

12 days until Trump comes back.

“firefighters standing at attention. Why were they not fighting the fires?”

You are not supposed to ask questions like that, citizen.

That could lead to dangerous conspiracy theories like claims that somebody might benefit from these fires.

:-)

:: Why were they not fighting the fires? ::

Because they were held back to work on their dance routine with the Hollywood choreographer they just hired.

Never forget.

The lying dork wouldn’t have understood anything the firefighters said. The best thing would have been to add that turd to the fire.

Like Biden the walking dead can or will do anything about the ongoing catastrophe until it has played out.

Imagine all the traffic and FAA clearance that had to get messed up so Mr Potato Head could be told where to stand and who to insult.

They certainly spent California tax dollars meant for fire fighting to remove our dams.

But what has been done to diversify the fire department and are there enough black lesbians in leadership positions?

Call went out for ‘anyone with previous firefighting experience’ to come help. I guess that went to the many fired over not taking COVID shots?

Trump should go after he is President. Big MAGA parade in OC. Deliver checks with his signature and new MAGA fire trucks.

Treat them very nice. Very well. Very competent disaster response. Take their voters and paint the state red.

they were not fighting the fires because there is NO WATER due to Newscum and Biden’s policies the firefighters are just standing back and watching the houses burn

A better way to do this would be to have Biden receive the briefing via a zoom call. That would eliminate the logistics (and manpower) involved in getting him to and from the fire station. The firefighters at that location could be out helping to fight the fires instead of hanging around the station while Biden gets his photo op.

It was a disgusting photo op
Newscum all smiles, Biden joking around
Couldn’t hear Biden mumbling as he read of his cue card because he didn’t stand up close enough to the microphone

LA must have sent more checks to the dm machine than the victims in the hurricane area on the east coast...

Good. Every day he is busy with a crisis, he is not busy harming America with executive orders or pardons. And only 12 days remaining to do that.
