Trump is threatening California now.





Billions of dollars are sent to the State of California for Forrest fires that, with proper Forrest Management, would never happen. Unless they get their act together, which is unlikely, I have ordered FEMA to send no more money. It is a disgraceful situation in lives & money!

What is it going to take before real Republicans do something about this person who wants to be Emperor?

ETA: Can Trump actually withhold FEMA money? I'm searching, but haven't found anything yet.

It was caused by heavy rain following the denuding of the mountains by the fires.

But yeah, he likely just happened to post this not realizing.

I may sound like a spelling Nazi to some but I think misspelling basic words (remember he claims to be a college graduate) is a sign of mental deterioration.

Maybe they should keep their money in California and tell Forrest Trump to go fuck himself. He’s threatening to withhold their own federal tax dollars. I think he’s lashing out at Adam Schiff here. Something’s up.

Clinton was a Rhodes Scholar. Obama graduated Harvard. This mook can’t even spell forest, smoking, border, or a whole host of other tough words.

for good and all I don't know what will.

If only we could get him to go after Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Colorado, New Hampshire, Maine, Alaska, West Virginia, Kentucky... in the same way. Hey, maybe Texas, Arizona and New Mexico need to get their act together and build their own walls. Maybe the Dumpster should threaten to withhold all federal immigration enforcement funds inside their borders until they do.

Given how easily he's goaded into spitefulness, it shouldn't be too difficult for clever people to provoke such a response.

BUT IF THERE IS ONE GOD-DAMNED HATE RADIO STATION THAT IS STILL FUNCTIONING IN CALIFORNIA, THE DEMOCRATS OUGHT TO LOSE THEIR FUCKING SEATS

That's where all this shit and hatred comes from on the right.

Maybe if Hate-Radio totally lost the California market, they'd understand that we're NOT FUCKING PLAYING GAMES WITH LIMBAUGH, HANNITY and the rest of the fucktwits that do nothing but demonize and dehumanize people that don't agree with them politically.

They’re shut down, although I’m sure there’s still a few “essential personnel “ reporting in. How long is that going to last?
