Stoking Division Amid Disaster, Trump and His Minions Betray America

[Stryder50]

"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.

Sorry 'Charlie' ( 'C_Claptrap_Jones' ) but when the fires get started and run out of control because of Democrat officials lack of leadership, planning and follow through on basic prevention measures, they are to blame.

Sane people don't "unite in support" behind incompetent idiots who cause loss of live, loss of property and unnecessary endangerment of public servants.

The fires were "torched by a self-serving coterie of left-wing" elected parasite politicians who did the usual DemocRAT thing and fugged up, then try to blame others for their mistakes and lack of competence.
