Canada, Mexico, and neighboring states sent firefighters to help in the LA fires. This stuff happens. It’s pretty great when it does.

I think it’s kind that he did this, but he needs to save Californians tax and aid money for California. Especially since the prez is not going to give California any US aid at anytime. Not without getting something in return that is.

I just had a "friend" unfriend me on Facebook. He's Mexican, born in the US and living in Canada. He's been watching YouTube videos about DOGE finding fraud and now supports Trump. He said he knows I'm a good person and does know why I'm so against Trump. It all just goes right over their heads.

I hope this story gets a lot of coverage so MAGA sees it and looks in askance at Trump not only ignoring the needs but not even playing at being president beyond signing whatever EOs put in front of him by Musk and the authors of P2025.

Newsome shouldn't waste his time KY GOP will accuse California of God knows what, instead of being thankful

Won't be surprised if Trump tries to take credit at some point. And MAGA will applaud him instead.

NASCAR is the majority of his voting base. The egomaniac couldn't resist the superbowl either, despite astronomical cost of his SS guards and homeland security. When I say "SS" I'm not talking secret service. Think 3rd Reich.....

copah.bsky.social•4 days ago

Sorry. I disagree. Let Kentucky deal with Kentucky. If Dems keep bailing out republicans who are in trouble because of the policies of the same republican they will never learn. Republicans break it. Dems fix it. Republicans keep voting republican.

reply

tbender.bsky.social•2 days ago

Problem: Dems live in Kentucky too.

We are better then the Nazi’s. This thinking is what aided #Felon47 into office, real or unreal people believed that Dems left Republicans to their own devices during emergencies. Leaving Dems vulnerable 2 GOP lies. (1/2)

reply

tbender.bsky.social•2 days ago

As long as the help doesn’t come from the illegal Admin then Republicans at some point will have to figure out that Human lives actually mean something to Dems. Which is the calculation Newsum is making. (2/2)

reply

copah.bsky.social•2 days ago

Republicans have not learned that in my 6 decades in the Earth, and it is getting worse not better. Dems used to win in Florida and Ohio. No longer. I understand the argument, but Trump screwed the farmers last time, Dems helped bail them out with taxpayer $, and they vote Trump in bigger #’s.

reply

copah.bsky.social•2 days ago

You are correct and I understand and don’t necessarily disagree with that, but what impetus is there for change if they never feel or realize the pain they cause themselves and the rest of us? Rewarding people for bad behavior is counterproductive—

Exactly. They were saying horrible things and blaming the fires on DEI. This enabling is why they act the way they do. Someone always bails them out.

The problem is that's exactly what Trump wants states to do. States have to rely on themselves. He wants all the federal money for himself and his pal Elon and his buddy Putin.

reply

chilangolandia.bsky.social•4 days ago

He needs to focus on the people of California only! All he’s doing is enabling Trump’s bad behavior. This is not a heroic act, as much as I admire Gov Newsom, all he’s doing is enabling Trump & his base who expect everyone else to bail them out. This is exactly why they don’t change.

Of course he did but at some point maybe California needs to worry about California since Trump hates us. He will never give us money for fires.

At some point the red states need to look at the blue state tax dollars that pour into their state to subsidize them. This BS keeps up and the blue states should have a plan in place to keep all blue state tax money for blue states only FAFO!

reply

jchrisa.bsky.social•4 days ago

This has to be communicated more broadly and it has to be visceral. People have short memories and you are only as good as your last positive (even negative) act.
Don't rely on MSM, Trump and Musk just drown the airwaves with his antics.

reply

somethingchicken.bsky.social•4 days ago

Why THE FUCK is California helping a red state after all this.

reply

jdr1992.bsky.social•4 days ago

Because we’re trying to live in a society. There’s good people in Lexington and Louisville, just like how there’s bad people in Redding or Modesto. Disasters don’t look at voter affiliation, so we shouldn’t look at it when committing acts of compassion.

reply

somethingchicken.bsky.social•4 days ago

I ran out of compassion for any red state or region. They need to suffer or they will never learn their lesson.
Let them beg their orange daddy for a while until they turn to a blue state begging on their knees, help should not be offered up without them being painfully aware of where it came from.

reply

jdr1992.bsky.social•4 days ago

Sometimes this isn’t about the fact that they’re shitty people. Sometimes it’s about us being the change we need in this world, and as exhausting as it is, it requires being the better person.

We have every right to point out the short comings of bad people, but disasters affect good people too.

reply

somethingchicken.bsky.social•4 days ago

That sounds too much like "they go low we go high". Nope. Patience all gone. Let them beg. Sucks to get caught up in the middle. I live in a red area and it sucks, but if something happened here I would still feel the same.

reply

jdr1992.bsky.social•4 days ago

Listen, FAFO is for individuals. Individuals are the ones who need to learn the lesson. If a MAGA voter loses their federal job, they deserve it.
But punishing entire states, even deep red ones, is counterproductive. Especially when Kentucky has a good Democratic man as governor.
