But firefighters said the real reasons were a lack of personnel to combat out-of-control blazes in Southern California.

    Is this all just more misdirection from the actual horrible stuff they are doing?

    Another Greenland LOOK OVER THERE! moment.

      That was his entire first term. I think that’s what’s expected from season 5 of 2017 too.

      How many people were aware that Trump rolled back 112 climate and safety regulations in his first term? What about quintupling farm subsidies for corporations, effectively disqualifying smaller farms from staying in the market? Or moving covid reporting from the CDC to HHS in June of 2020, coinciding with a flattened curve of contractions relative to the rest of the world, while somehow still leading the world in deaths?

        Indeed, the Orange Shitstain’s trade war with China backfired and he increased farm subsidies, socialism, from $4 billion to over $20 billion. The dumb mofo will repeat this after he loses his next trade war.

      “They’re just distracting us” has to be the weirdest thing people say about politics. “They’re looking stupid to distract us from their stupid?”

      Who can’t pay attention to more than one thing?

          I honestly don’t understand this line of thought.

          You think people hear about “all this weird shit he’s doing” and somehow that hides… Something else? And then people don’t realize how aweful he is because of “all this weird shit”???

          This has to be the stupidest line of thought ever.

    Why is the family of the president even a big deal? Or any deal at all. What is it, a monarchy? I guess now it is.

      If Trump could, he would turn USA into a monarchy. Right now he just settles for all the features of one. Every baron of tech went to his palace to grovel at the throne.

    Spewing nonsense isn’t finding a way to blame them. It’s spewing nonsense. It’s not logical. If I was mad about capitalism and started screaming at salamanders for it you wouldn’t say I found a way to blame salamanders. You’d call me insane. Let’s call a duck a duck ay?
