Stoking Division Amid Disaster, Trump and His Minions Betray America

The source "creators.com"? WTF is that?

Some collective of liberal bullshit, that no one else will publish....

"The solidarity of American communities in the face of catastrophe, whether natural or manmade, is an aspect of our national character that most of us cherish. We never tire of stories about our fellow citizens upholding one another at the worst of times. We venerate the firefighters, emergency service workers, law enforcement officers and ordinary neighbors whose endurance and sacrifice hold communities together against cruel circumstance — without regard to race, creed, color, gender or partisan affiliation.

Or at least we did during much of our history. Yet as huge swaths of Los Angeles are consumed by wildfire, it is striking to see those traditional American values torched by a self-serving coterie of right-wing billionaires, whose loyalty to any principle beyond self-aggrandizement is nil: Rupert Murdoch, Elon Musk and of course their political avatar Donald Trump, the president-elect.

While the LA blaze rages on, all three of these men have used their gigantic public platforms to stoke a different but exceptionally destructive conflagration. Rather than encourage patriotic bonding and mutual aid, they broadcast messages of division, hatred and suspicion, served up in a poisonous stew of blatant lies, conspiracy theories and wretched nonsense."

With his divisive lies, Trump continues to prove he’s unfit to be president.

Bullshit

 

[Wild Bill Kelsoe]

Be specific. What should have been done differently?

Land management, controlled burns, better firefighting capabilities. Having enough water would be a good start. This is the third time you asked. How is it you don't understand? Or, do we already know?

Welp, I guess you solved it.

Good job!

 

[Wild Bill Kelsoe]

The solution isn't complicated. But, of course you Leftists can't admit when Democrat politicians fail and refuse to address the failure. You support and defend the failure. You even help them fail. It's because you're so terrified that someone from the Right wing may have a solution and the Democrats could lose political power. You people are forever putting your ideology before the People.

Where have Republican candidates in California been advocating for the common sense solutions you just outlined?

 

[Wild Bill Kelsoe]

Where have Republican candidates in California been advocating for the common sense solutions you just outlined?

Who controls the state? Is it Democrats? Is Newsom a Republican, or a Democrat? Is Bass Republican, or Democrat?

 

[EvilCat Breath]

They have massive water trucks called "Water buffalos"...the fed could have had them rolling in days ago...or minutes ago. Why haven't they used them?

They should be bulldozing all trees on either side of highways & roads to widen fire breaks.

They have fire fighters who jump in by parachute to fight fires in remote locations.

NONE of this has been deployed yet. (not that has been reported anyway)...WTF?

But the city did return a blowtorch to an arsonist and let him go. That has to count for something.

 

[MarcATL]

I asked a simple, reasonable and relevant question sir.

Where have Republican candidates advocated for the common sense solutions you provided above?

There are Republican politicians in the great state of California, aren't there?

They do run on issues in attempts to win the votes of their constituents don't they?

These are the important solutions for their state that aren't currently being enacted, aren't they?

So where can you point to any of them (Republicans) highlighting these solutions?

 

[Moonglow]

Why are you being intentionally dishonest while attempting to make other people look like they're the liars?

You're blaming "Democratic incompetence" for the alleged "inability to extinguish a fire in 5 DAYS" when you've participated in discussions here on this board, regarding how 80 to 100 mph Santa Ana winds made battling this fire during the first 24 hours impossible according to the fire chiefs there on the ground fighting the fires. What is it that makes you all need a boogey man to blame everything on?
Fire Near L.A. -Evac's Homes Burning High Winds

You're blaming nature, aka "acts of God" on Democratic incompetence, so I suppose that means in your mind that the Democratics now control the winds surging out of the high deserts to the east of the Los Angeles basin with enough strength to blow walls of fire throughout entire neighborhoods of Los Angeles?

Only Donald and his Sharpie can control major storms and natural disasters.

It's irrelevant, because all we've heard for years is how great the Democrats are doing in California.

 

[TimFitz]

What lies?

Democrats are so incompetent they can't extinguish a fire IN 5 DAYS?

Stone cold TRUTH can hurt some times eh?

you mean cold hard bigotry.

Try supporting it with a facts. You won’t, of course.

 

[TimFitz]

you mean cold hard bigotry.

Try supporting it with a facts. You won’t, of course. You know almost nothing about the fires, and less than nothing about municipal water systems.

Bullshit

That is precisely what you and your ilk are doing.

Using this tragedy to make idiotic, baseless attacks on the people doing the work, and parading your usual set of stick figure “enemies¥ and engaging in open flagrant baseless bigotry.

That description reminds me of past natural disasters when republicans were president and dems were throwing the stones

Take note for the record that this poster wasn't able to provide proof, or even evidence to what he was advocating for...

You illustrate how Leftists are lying motherfuckers. ******* babies...lol

you have no clue what you’re talking about.

 

[Wild Bill Kelsoe]

you have no clue what you’re talking about.

The fire in Los Angeles proves that I do. There's no way you claim that California had properly prepared for this eventuality.

 

[TimFitz]

You illustrate how Leftists are lying motherfuckers. ******* babies...lol

And you illustrate your confidence in your own ignorance, laced with deplorable vulgarity. I suppose that was to cover for the fact that you know he’s right (a it’s obvious to the rest of us).
