Under no circumstances should you guys get involved anymore. Ever.
North and South Carolina bought their tickets, they knew what they were getting into.
I say "Let 'em burn, eh?"
Oops, so many of our "troops" are busy stringing razor ribbon at the border. No can help South Carolina. Trump is golfing and Vance is busy trying to keep himself from biffing on the slopes.
This makes my heart hurt. These folks don’t need any more trouble than they’ve already had. And now we have a government that doesn’t wanna pay to help people. Why have a government then? What is the damn point??
137 fires with only 2,400 acres burned? This Californian would say they're getting pretty lucky. I don't know that terrain but I"d say a megafire isn't on the table. And that's a good thing.
Do you prefer The Castaways or the Debbie Harry version from Married to the Mob? I don't care. It's a great song. I think of it often, as well as The Thompson Twins, Lies.
For a decade now.
Trump should educate the Carolina’s on raking and how the Carolina’s are responsible for this mess because they haven’t been raking. Fortunately FEMA has been defunded so we won’t have to pay for their lack of raking.
Is it too soon to suggest sending in Canadian water bombers loaded with gasoline or are we over the threats of annexation? I mean, they hate when we boo their special song.
... #Canada and #Mexico both voluntarily sent our experienced firefighters to help with the tragedy in Cali not too long ago. But something tells me that was long enough ago we won't do it again here. So let me just offer you decent luck instead as I think of the animals (not a syn for Rep). #POTUS
.... sorry but they've all been converted to watch for the tons of imaginary #fentanyl slipping across the bother and accidentally up in to the noses of completely innocent and helpless #Republicans.
Unity within States is how we will survive. Both with environment tanking faster with this administration. We can still mobilize to help our neighbors. Gather quickly. Keep doing protective individual environmental actions. I hope the locals are up to the task. They are still recovering from storms.
Wonder if there’s gonna be any question about whether South Carolina gets federal funds for disaster relief? Do you think that it will be treated the same way that California was treated after the fires?
The picture below is a Canadian water bomber like we sent to California to help fight the fires. Very effective tool (I have been in one)
Trump and Vance are to busy trying to bully us into being the 51st state and have not said thanks yet but I would support canada 🇨🇦 helping again.
His girlfriend Lindsay Graham and man-servant Tim Scott will take of it because FEMA, Canada 🇨🇦 and Mexico 🇲🇽 ain’t coming to help. Sending concepts of water and firefighters.
There was a wildfire live map on the national weather service page but trump Lindsey Graham and Nancy Mace voted to close the entire agency and fired thousands of park service and forest rangers. All while letting power companies run amok. Thank God they didn't fund FEMA and are anti fire relief
Right? They used to at least give you a few "free" reads per month. And if they're gonna post on their own social media, that could at least make those links free to read.
Absolutely of course but NYT has advertisers to pay for that and the subscribers. I’m just saying that on their own social media page, if they post a story that story should not have a paywall. They’re still getting a small percentage of subscribers from their social media
As it should be. I have mixed feelings abt subscriptions to NYT. They were the ones who uncovered many of his dirty deeds before, but they abdicated their responsibility for the last year. they have some great journalists and journalists everywhere are losing their jobs and often their lives.
Another very unfortunate fire. 😪
I am praying for the families.🙏
The orange guy supposedly received 58% of the votes in South Carolina. It'll be interesting to see how he'll react regarding the fires in Myrtle Beach vs. how he has reacted regarding the fires in L.A.
He makes everything political.
Trump better tell their Governor to rake up the forests like he told @Gavin Newsom. Californians know the pain and are with them. We hear and see them.
Maybe you all can ask Biden to turn on that rain machine that caused all the flooding last year. Or maybe Dotard can have the Army Corps of Engineers sneak in and empty a few reservoirs.
Maybe Trump can empty a reservoir miles and miles away from the fire location and then hold a press conference showing how great he is by draining farm resources. 😑
Our current White House occupant threatened to deny California its FEMA funds when it burned recently. Since this state voted for him, I wonder if he'll act different?
I hope everyone gets out safely, and has what they need.
Don’t worry, MAGA. Donald opened and drained the reservoirs in north California a couple of weeks ago, the water should reach South Carolina any day now…
Remember when just a few months ago SC senator Ralph Norman opposed aid to California. Convenient huh. His direct quote “The people bear the brunt of the responsibility, not the American people.” Ok, if you say so a-hole…good luck. See if FEMA can help. Or right, they’re gone.
... not without charging at least 25% more than before as we were importing help into #America tanking the firefighting market. Which come to think of it was free as we just wanted to help our dear neighbour and ally. So forget it. We'll sit these out for the next 4 (8? 12?) years. #Canada
Just use water from the big beautiful America Ocean. It’s right there and I understand it’s full of incredible American owned fire fighting liquid like nothing people have ever seen.
What are the chances Trump lets these places burn, displaces people, then sells the land to rich newcomers buying his gold card visa? No way anyone under investigation for apartheid gains would jump at the chance to launder stolen wealth into Trump’s U.S., right?
Foreign aid cuts are projected to cause 50,000 additional deaths per year in South Africa alone. With wealth shifted and aid controlled by the U.S., it almost seems like they’re sticking to the real plan, doesn’t it?
hmmm. californian here. did they turn on the giant faucet for water? rake their leaves?
it’s ok cuz they voted for the dictator he’ll take care of them. he’s a guy you can trust. 😉

And Trump is firing people who have the skills to study and fix the issue
They didn't rake enough.
We have already gone through this in California.
North and South Carolina bought their tickets, they knew what they were getting into.

Does God hate fake Christians and maga?
Are we getting rid of fema?
Was this the lack of forest mis-management ?
Thoughts and prayers is all they should get, right?
The federal govt is there to keep us safe, whether you are rich or poor.

They're probably scared to come to the United States, not to mention offended by being mistreated and tariff'd (new word🤣) by Trump.

I'm asking because I don't think you have. But maybe I'm wrong.
Then tell us the Canadian and Mexican fire fighters showed up because we owed him
Earthquake next, I reckon.

I'm so confused, I thought Democrats were responsible for wildfires. Like DEI is responsible for plane crashes.
Make it make sense..

I hope everyone gets out safely, and has what they need.

Is California going to help South Carolina wildfire please? Thank you.
A real epidemic in this country.

Further aid contingent on having rudimentary understanding of weather vs climate.
