Our President Is an Asshole
From the New York Times: In the northern town of Paradise, the ruins of houses and businesses smoldered throughout the day, while in Southern California, tens of thousands of residents fled their homes and jammed onto highways. Exotic lemurs and parrots were packed up and carried away to safety as fires ringed the Los Angeles Zoo in Griffith Park. Officials estimated that the blaze in the north, called the Camp Fire, had destroyed a staggering 6,700 structures — most of them residential. Such vast devastation would make it the most destructive fire in modern state history.
From the Washington Post: Butte County Sheriff Kory L. Honea told reporters at a news conference Friday evening that officials had found nine people who had been killed by the fire: Four were found dead in their cars in Paradise, down from the five officials had spoken about earlier; three outside of houses; and two others, one inside a home, and another near a car.
From the LA Times: Homes and businesses had been reduced to piles of twisted metal. Tall pine trees and utility poles smoldered. According to the California Teachers Assn., at least five of the nine schools in Paradise were destroyed, including Paradise Elementary School. Cars abandoned by fleeing motorists who found themselves unable to escape lay crumpled in the roadways, their tires melted. The bodies of five people were discovered on Edgewood Lane in vehicles overtaken by the fire. Others were found outside their cars and homes. Butte County Sheriff Kory L. Honea said they could not immediately be identified because they were burned so badly.
From the president of the United States, whose political party lost a bunch of seats in California’s midterm elections just a few days ago:
"There is no reason for these massive, deadly and costly forest fires in California except that forest management is so poor. Billions of dollars are given each year, with so many lives lost, all because of gross mismanagement of the forests. Remedy now, or no more Fed payments!"
Never change, Mr. President.
And for the record, this has nothing to do with poor fire management. It’s entirely due to drought, warm weather, easterly winds, and climate change.

In fact, I am still crying to think this POS represents our nation on the national stage. We have lost the position of Ronald Regan's "shining city on a hill". Our reputation as a melting pot has been severely damaged. I am thankful every day for the Democrats taking over the House. Looking forward to January, 2019!
Other countries know full well who's behind the " R)eputation" hits.
and since you are decimating the EPA, The NOAA, and the USDA, to show that SCIENTIFIC DATA asshole, that shows, there is a correlation in the change in the weather from one extreme to another extreme, which is not good, it is not about forest management.
That, you and your scum bag assholes has / have deleted from the above web sites that SCIENTIFIC DATA, that are /is paid by farmers, tourist centers, and us, Bureau and Land Management, Forest Department, etc..... you fucking name it that shows that these fires out west asshole are the beginning of deserts being created, and flooded washouts when it does rain, but you cannot wrap your fucking criminal mind around that fact, you blame bad forest management, do you fucking realize asshole, that trees help cool the planet and give the planet the means to live and if they are burned down and can't grow back, because they are under a constant threat of fires and drought......................... we (the planet) are fucked................JUST FUCK YOU...........................we are coming asshole.....................we are coming............................
November 3, 2020 cannot get here fast enough.........................
