"How dare she"

And Adam Schiff's. And Ted Lieu's. And Kamala Harris'. And Jerry Brown's. And all the citizens of California.

Reporters need to get House Minority Leader Steve McCarthy's response to this tweet. Heh.

California.
FUCK tRumpf.

If they allow this to happen, they may lose their seats in 2020.
Wise up folks, or you will be shown the door.

is done by the federal government? Looks like he will be in another law suit.

He's just plain that stoooopid, like his followers.

Knowing president idiot it'd end up Dave Chappell, which wouldn't be all bad but certainly wouldn't be intentional or logically informed.

We need to ridicule him daily, frequently, relentlessly.

"The president is an idiot."

It's very therapeutic. Nothing obscure. Just straight up basic information.

Lovely photo, by the way.

this is just another Trump distraction tweet. Ignore Trump's threats as most of them are made with the intention of distracting the public

The noose(s) are getting tighter, he knows he’s in big trouble. The wall gambit didn’t work now he’s stuck on how to get out of his self-dug hole.

We can mock and ridicule him as well as objectively follow the leads.

considering it's his voters that predominantly live in these areas.

Maybe he didn't avoid those STD's when he dodged the draft? Maybe his syphilis is spreading?

That IS HILARIOUS!

What does that even mean? Did he already do it or is he just making threats again?

It’s just more blathering to distract. Maybe he should try negotiating. He could offer to buy California rakes in exchange for wall money.

I shouldn’t joke as that might become the next tweet.

And learn some fire safety, fer cryin' out loud.

and probably illegal message itself

will be satisfied that he is now hurting the "right" people.

His type of mental illness does move fom shouting, screaming and temper tantrums to actively hurting those he sees as his enemies. Next step: hiding or escaping.

I suppose that Colorado and New Mexico will be the next states to get cut off since our "forrests" don't get raked either. Plus just like California, both Colorado and New Mexico have had the audacity to go blue.

More prestidigitation. Not to downplay your points of concern but I don't want you to stress about it. You're too sweet of a person to let him bend you out of shape.

The president is an idiot. My new mantra. It really is therapy just to say the words. Maybe if he hears it enough he'll start to believe it too. Cause it's the Damm Truth and we've got a major shortage of that right now.

In fact, I think that bent has become my new normal shape.

There's no way that Forrest tRump could carry this threat out without his administration ordering that all Federally managed lands in the Western US be subject to raking, as well. The cost of doing that would cover the costs of 2 or 3 border walls. At least it would mean full employment for every small town and rural area west of the Mississippi. In fact, so many workers would be needed to get out there and rake all Federal lands from the mountaintops to the desert that migrant laborers (whether legal or not) would be sure to find jobs.

Score one for Mexico and Central America!

in the budget he proposed in his opening speech this week, as well as more money for firefighting.

This is all about punishing California for being blue and standing up against Trump's destructive policies.

Rural Cal, as far-right as anywhere, I live here in the middle of it. And the Camp Fire and the Carr Fire and the Napa fires fuel loadings had nothing to do with "forest management", as in conifer trees logged commercially, they burned in woodland and shrubby areas. Extreme winds, record dry fuels, will do it. A November fire like that in Northern California? Unheard of, and freaky. I hope this pronouncement turns a few people around, but who knows.

A good succinct article: https://www.popsci.com/forest-management-california-fires?src=SOC&dom=tw

Also, the USDA Forest service is shut down, NOW is the time when fuel reduction projects are happening on National Forest lands, as well as lots of other activities around reducing the impact of future fire seasons. Because of contracting, weather, administrative considerations, this time lost may not be recovered. What a setback. This blubbering asshole is bent on destroying us.

Unless I heard that wrong.

What an idiot.

Does he have the authority to do this, & will the agency comply?

If it happens, & after the inevitable lawsuit, CA should de-federalize the parks and the forests,
& tell the feds to come get 'em if they want 'em back.

He is in his death throes lashing out at anything he thinks he can take down with him.

Tell him to put out a statement that he never said such a thing, or at least not in this context, and that tRump is a blockhead.

tRump is trying to punish Dems. Sounds illegal, and another impeachable offense.

the asshole is falling apart in front of our eyes...

This sounds like some mobster shake down. Pay up or else!

That's probably why he waited until 2018 to visit our state, and then only because we had major tragedies that he mischaracterized (they were brush fires, not forest fires), insulted those who were fighting to save people's homes, and then forgot which devastated town he was in.

Cutting off FEMA funds because we won't do what he says are the actions of an insane man. He can't govern like that -- punishing those who displease him (Puerto Rico) and rewarding those who please him (billionaires). Eventually we peasants are going to revolt and grab our pitchforks.

When a puppet of putin has powers to abuse and use as weapons . Putin did this in russia also. putin has weaponized the highest office in our country by using trump.

He's having a Gerald Ford moment.

Say hello to our lawsuit

But I digress.

You know what I'm reminded of? That story about trump going to pick up junior from college (he went to college?) for something - out to dinner, a sporting event, I don't remember - and jr was dressed casually, which was apparently appropriate for the event.

trump slapped him in the face and told him to put on a suit.

This is what the moron is doing. He's slapping everyone and everything in its collective face for not behaving in the way he thinks is appropriate, or for disobeying him, or for, well, whatever he feels like.

Of course, he can't do that, and now California will spend money to sue the federal government, and they will spend money to respond.

Meaning he’s in his right mind! As is this smiley ->
And this one ->

Yes, yes, I know: right brain =/= right mind, but he’s in good company: Presidents Clinton and Obama are lefties.

It's coming from the White House!

All for the base.

Dude's gotta go...

The Trump strategy w/r/t to his threat to withhold FEMA funding for fire prevention and recovery to California, in a single tweet.

Link to tweet

California represents everything that he hates, that he cannot, will not ever be.

Personally, I've lived the last two years afraid my old home on the west coast would have a Trump-directed nuclear warhead barrage annihilate it.

He's crazy enough to do it.

by this fucker on a daily basis before someone decides it's time for the 25th amendment? I'm serious. The country as a whole is under siege by our own president.

Selective threats targeting blue states, which also happen to be the states that generally provide more money to federal funds than they receive.

I guess he does not know there are still Red districts in CA. And they are the areas most affected by the fires.

1. The current governor of California is the ex-husband of Junior's current squeeze, Kimberly Guilfoyle.
2. California is generally a blue state and would never give its electoral votes to Trump.
3. Trump still feels rejected and rebuffed by Hollywood for when he's had his delusions about taking over that town.
4. His hopes are that the forests become decimated by future fires, thereby freeing up former wild acreage for development.

Oh wait most of the forest that burn was owned by the federal government.
Dump it was your team that wasn't raking or clearing out dead trees and underbrush.
or maybe we should take global climate change seriously
