Dozens of fires across Oklahoma have destroyed nearly 300 structures and burned close to 200,000 acres, Gov. Kevin Stitt said Saturday morning, as dangerous fire conditions persisted from Texas to Nebraska.

If only we had like, you know, some FEDERAL capability that pooled our collective capabilities and funds to respond in an EMERGENCY. You’d need smart, effective MANAGEMENT of such an AGENCY, of course 🤔
But keep firing the people paid to detect, prevent, track, and deal with these disasters, as well as help the victims. Great work, King Elon and Queen Consort Donald, and big ups to Prime Minister Schumer for making these cuts permanently enshrined in law. You're all doing a great job!
Couldn’t have happened to better states. They don’t believe in science. They voted for this the moment they voted for him. And no, not one iota of compassion for any of them.
I don’t like to see anyone suffer. But from their point of view Noah did let everyone drown including the unicorns 🦄 and watched them all die from his boat. I’m sure they don’t want any help from FEMA. God’s will you know 🫠
Whenever something bad happens in a Blue state, its because God is punishing them for something. Accepting gay folks or supporting women’s reproductive choices.
Is God now punishing Oklahoma for putting a lying douche-bag into the White House?
Well, we need to make sure the state governments will do what we want before we give any aid. Also, it’s their own fault for bad forest management and for having w*men and minorities in firefighting positions (every knows they cannot extinguish fires like the white man can).
Sorry for Oklahoma & it's people. Red Congress & Trump will tell you to sweep your brush away, like he said to California. Then he'll withhold any disaster relief unless you kiss his azz. Oh wait, they are dismantling disaster relief.
We tried other ways. They didn’t want that. When the fires devastated California, there was a LOT of Republican gloating. They said God was punishing the people for their sins. This would be reaping what they sowed.
Maybe stop pumping oil. Normally it’s other states that suffer from climate change caused by burning fossil fuel but today it is the pumpers themselves.
Just to clarify... I'm sarcastically throwing the premise of "God's judgement" back at the Southern & Heartland red states. Whenever a natural disaster occurs on the West Coast, we're bombarded with comments by these red state MAGA fools who claim it's some sort of Holy retribution.
Fires, shootings, etcetc being purposely started to create as much havoc, sickness and despair.. that's where the money is . It certainly isn't in healthy happy folks, wake up people ur being prepared for the worst that u ever could imagine...wake the f up.
Devastating wildfires are ravaging Oklahoma and Texas leaving destruction in their wake Urgent action is needed to support affected communities and strengthen wildfire prevention measures Climate resilience must be a priority #WildfireCrisis #ClimateEmergency #OklahomaFires
Trump will come back from Florida on Monday-because he’s off on weekends- and order the Army Corps Of Engineers to open up the Hoover Dam to flood the fires in OK, TX, & NV…
Because he thinks Nebraska is Nevada.
So, by Executive Order of the POTUS, Open The Hoover Dam, or you’re fired! 🙄
Wonder if MAGA things this is punishment from God for supporting a rapist felon? Just wondering out loud like they do when bad things happen to blue states.
Don't worry, the country that Trump wants to take over will come and fight them, on our dime We won't be think twice about it. That's what we do, while you're president is trying to take us over! And he won't even thank us! #elbowsup #never51
Surely Texas and Oklahoma have better forest management policies than, say, California? And couldn't they release the waters like was demanded if California? Or perhaps it's the woke policies causing the fires?
I’m sorry for them. I had to evacuate in 2020 here in the Willamette Valley because of the Labor Day fires. That was a few months after we had a 117° day in the valley IN JUNE!!! It’s scary and it changes life forever. You have to build a big machine to handle the outlier events. They don’t get it.
And that’s just one of the realities they choose to ignore! There are so many. Fortunately (not) POTUS is hardwiring this idiocy to the rest of the states, making sure we’re equally as ill-prepared.
This is in all states that deny climate change, therefore it must be woke nonsense. Rump won't give any relief either because government helping people isn't efficient.
Let me try to explain this: no one escapes climate change but rural communities will be especially hammered. you will have flooding, fires, droughts and you wont have the resources to deal with it because the scale will be unprecedented. Listen to educated, informed people who study these things.
Oklahoma burns while climate deniers govern revealing nature's indifference to political boundaries. Nothing exposes ideological bankruptcy quite like watching red states battle climate disasters they officially reject. Even forest-raking and space lasers cannot save those denying reality.
Honestly, maybe next time don't buy Trump bibles or vote to get rid of fema... because that c**t is the devil incarnate and you've all fucked yourselves.
Release the water. Rake the forests. Woops. Next up for Oklahoma - extracting more federal tax dollars from blue state payers like me. The takers will always take more.
But hey, where’s Trump crapping on the governors of those states for not raking the prairies? Maybe if he makes them release water in Wisconsin next week it will take care of the fires and everything will be beautiful. Again.
I wonder how many people will politicize this like they politicized a blue state because the opposition had ZERO sympathy and fetishized the LA Fires and wanted hollywood to burn.
Let's see Republicans always say that natural disasters in blue states are punishment from Republican Jesus. So are all these disasters in red states similar divine retribution?
On another note, did Trumpenmusk delete FEMA entirely or just cripple it?
red fires for red states, no doubt they’ll blame Democrats for this…
too bad so many Fire Fighters have been fired not to mention FEMA, USDA and other Federal Employees that would be there helping… but the rich need more tax breaks right ?? this is what you voted for !!! 🤬🤬🤬

America first right??
Is God now punishing Oklahoma for putting a lying douche-bag into the White House?
As a solution lets release some dam water in Idaho and take pictures of it.
Fixing this won’t be easy, but giving more money to the richest person to ever live in the history of the world seems like a good start.
You're welcome
Fuck you guys.
Sympathize with EXTREME caution.
If not then FEMA is not coming back, per Muskrat and orange turd grandpa babysitter.
anywhooo
The vast majority in OK consistently flips the bird at ANYTHING that could prevent/alleviate this.
They voted in an Admin that will sit there and while entire states burn.
We are out of sympathy for politically suicidal and murderous people.
Much more of a priority for the voting public than climate-change-related disasters.
I think God is punishing them for their votes, for not believing in climate change and for being anti women, racists and bigots
Because he thinks Nebraska is Nevada.
So, by Executive Order of the POTUS, Open The Hoover Dam, or you’re fired! 🙄

(/sarcasm, of course).
Or maybe he will “turn on the water” out of the Great Lakes… should just flow south and take care of it right?
Before anyone comments
Pretty sure I phrased even more sensibly that anything the 🍊 🤡 said about Cali
It's no big deal until it hits a population center.
Let the god forsaken states burn

Sorry, Canada’s water bombers are currently busy not helping fascists threatening to overthrow us.

Thank you for helping with LA fires. Can California join you?
Actually sad that your president caused this.
