The Table Rock fire in Pickens County and the Persimmon Ridge fire in Greenville County are both 0% contained.

I don't hear MAGA screeching about raking the forest down there.

Y’all sorry. My 3rd comment. My wife and I have lived here 25 years. These comments wreck me. I just got a call from our good friend. She just got evacuated. She asked if she could take her two 90 yr old neighbors to our house in town to stay. All of those folks are Dems. We all worked HARD for

jfergus13.bsky.social•31 days ago

Harris/Walz. We woulda let Trumpers stay there if they needed it bc it’s who we are. State lines and voting outcomes are not homogeneous. They just aren’t. It’s tempting to laugh and say “let em eat it” but it is wrong. It will never never be okay.

jfergus13.bsky.social•31 days ago

Okay ppl. While it’s tempting to laud red state trouble—this area (my area) has been through literal hell. 1st Helene, followed by an unnamed storm in which more ppl died than Helene. This fire is headed to VERY blue enclaves w businesses of ppl I love. They just put things back together.

jfergus13.bsky.social•31 days ago

This is part of the mountain they’re evacuating right now. Can you imagine? Those trees are down from Helene. It’ll be like kindling.

jfergus13.bsky.social•31 days ago

It’s an area where we just love our neighbors, we don’t ask how they voted before we help, And this fire is an emergency.

ms4tune.bsky.social•31 days ago

Thank you! So true! They started evacuating our roads here in Transylvania County last night. The fires have crossed from SC to NC. We are all traumatized and scared. Stay safe where you are.

hopelaughlove.bsky.social•32 days ago

oh hell no you won’t- they only talk about raking forests in Blue Gov states. Speaking of Forests- it is a darn shame President Musk fired many folks who work at our national parks! They prob will want to convert all parks to realstate structures

cptdoomdc.bsky.social•32 days ago

So happy to know none of my tax money will be distributed through "socialist" methods to help these folks out. They'll be pulling themselves up by their bootstraps and handling things alone, right?

uhohsage.bsky.social•30 days ago

These replies are pathetic. I live in upstate sc, I grew up in pickens. We aren’t all republican fascist scum down here. We have the worst education rates & we’re some of the poorest in the country but republican government takes advantage of that. They are blue dots all throughout these parts
.

uhohsage.bsky.social•30 days ago

We are still recovering from a fucking hurricane hitting us. And the down trees and brush from Helene are only making it worse. So instead of saying vile, pathetic shit about Appalachia and the south, learn more about us. We’re not all fucking MAGAts.

lightseeker70.bsky.social•30 days ago

The fire at Table Rock has doubled. I live in Travelers Rest and the smoke here is horrible today!!

Trump is Nero while Rome is burning. He's Nero and Hitler reincarnated.

haulinbutts.bsky.social•32 days ago

Or turning on the water in Canada 🇨🇦

sweetiesue1111.bsky.social•32 days ago

Such a tragedy.

margieyak.bsky.social•32 days ago

It’s almost prophetic

gbme505.bsky.social•31 days ago

If you believe in that sort of thing. Oh wait!

eviee2.bsky.social•32 days ago

Trump will not offer any assistance, aide, visit, or even thoughts and prayers. Pretty much when disasters occur, they are ignored under the Trump administration.

supernanamel.bsky.social•32 days ago

And wait until FEMA is cancelled - and the federal government offers South Carolinians "thoughts and prayers".

And they probably laughed at California.

erikvcw.bsky.social•32 days ago

And no more FEMA. Ouch

ca-nc-galady.bsky.social•32 days ago

And FEMA is being gutted. sC is solidly Red! Let’s see how this goes

nwgeorgiadenizen.bsky.social•32 days ago

Make South Carolina pay for South Carolina, no FEMA aid, also, remove all immigrants and helper countries from the firefighting lines, then, allow insurance companies to withdraw and deny all claims....red states want fierce self reliance, then give it them.

funnybone1.bsky.social•32 days ago

That's a conservative forest; they aren't same as liberal forests you know.

bucks-county-lib.bsky.social•32 days ago

They are all cheering on the destruction of FEMA and the federal agencies that could help them though.

justsmhr.bsky.social•32 days ago

They need to turn on their big faucet.

enragedapostate.bsky.social•32 days ago

Whatever MAGA said about the L.A. wildfires should be said here.

fancymeplainlp.bsky.social•32 days ago

Came to say that as well. It was a terrible experience, can't forgive those awful things red states sent us.

uhohsage.bsky.social•30 days ago

Fucking rot with Steve. Wishing harm on all of us when most of us out here affected by this shit didn’t vote for this nor did we send yall hate. This mentality is just as bad as the fucking trumpies sending yall hate. Grow the fuck up and get some fucking mental health help

asecularbuddhist.bsky.social•31 days ago

Well, for starters, they don’t have woke DEI forests like California has…

dede-6258.bsky.social•32 days ago

No wonder. As far as I'm informed in Europe, South Caroline is a Maga State. According to the orange thing in WH, it will certainly be a problem with the hydrants. Like in California.

lovesmaine.bsky.social•32 days ago

Bummer for SC.

Making burgers tonight.

gbme505.bsky.social•31 days ago

Thought I’d do a Mediterranean seasoning on our chicken grilled with potatoes and a salad.
First BBQ of the season. Burger sure would be easier. Gotta rethink this.

fancymeplainlp.bsky.social•32 days ago

Couldn't Trump just turn on the giant faucet there too and waste millions of gallons of water?

ms4tune.bsky.social•31 days ago

It crossed the NC border overnight. They started evacuating roads on our County. We already had enough with Helene, now this.

profsensible.bsky.social•32 days ago

Just imagine you had park rangers that could spit such a thing from the start.

wfulford.bsky.social•32 days ago

They should have been raking the leaves up everywhere, isn't that what Trump blamed California for? Interesting he doesn't comment when it is a Red state. And no reporters bring it up to him! Failure.

wildcanadian306.bsky.social•32 days ago

Don't see no Canadian planes there do you.

mikeie1234.bsky.social•32 days ago

No complaints about Fema?

davidmckinney59.bsky.social•32 days ago

In Northern Georgia, too.

Red state burning.

gbme505.bsky.social•31 days ago

Maybe trump could turn on the White House hose and point it the their direction. Idk any dams in the area I lived in CA.

gbme505.bsky.social•31 days ago

Hey WA, Oregon need a donation in advance of wildfire season?

gbme505.bsky.social•31 days ago

I’m sure many California residents still need help.
