Discussion: Standing In Scorched CA Town, Trump Credits Finland's 'Raking And Cleaning' Policy

“We will be talking about forest management. I’ve been saying that for a long time. It should have been a lot different situation.”

If aliens landed tomorrow and started killing humans so they could reproduce in our skulls, Trump would say he’d been talking about it for a long time.

The lesson is: any thought you’ve had, any fact we discover, any piece of hindsight – Trump has been 2 steps ahead for like a million years so go to hell.

For those of us wondering if we’d get fake-sympathetic cue-card reading Trump, or asshole blame-the-victim Trump instead, there’s our answer…

He doesn’t know squat about this and couldn’t even bother to have his staff come up with something to say that made sense. As usual.

A lot of people are saying that Trump is a great thinker! (according to Trump)

I’m waiting for the Finnish consulate in Los Angeles to release some press release to the tune of “we aren’t sure what exact policy you’re talking about”. Which is Finnish for “what the fuck?!?”

He made hand gestures as if washing windows.Gavin Newsome looks as if he wanted to laugh. He really does need to button up and listen for a change. He is so very stupid.

Finland is covered with snow much of the year. That tends to cut down on fires:

Winter is long and cold throughout the country; it is almost five months long even in Helsinki, which lies in the far south. Here, the temperature remains almost constantly around or below freezing (0 °C or 32 °F) from mid-November to late March.
As you head north and east, winter gets even colder and longer. The many lakes that are located in Finland are frozen, and sometimes even the sea freezes (more often the Gulf of Bothnia, but sometimes even the port of Helsinki and the eastern part of the Gulf of Finland), and it is necessary to resort to icebreakers to allow maritime traffic to continue.
During winter, the weather can vary greatly depending on meteorological conditions: when Finland is affected by cold air masses from neighbouring Russia, the temperature drops below -20 °C (-4 °F), while when it is reached by mild winds from the Atlantic Ocean, the temperature is around the freezing point. On colder periods, the temperature can fall as low as -50 °C (-58 °F) in the far north (Lapland). In January 1987, the temperature reached -35 °C (-31 °F) even in the “southern” Helsinki.
The thaw usually occurs in April, at the beginning of the month in the south of Finland, and at the end of the month in Lapland. In autumn, normally the snow begins to fall in October in Lapland, and in November in the south.

Trump: 'Nobody thought this could happen’

Folks this is organic brain disorder…
There are scientists who spend their careers trying to make politicians understand.
When trump ponticficates that Nobody thought (_____) could happen it means HE didn’t think it could happen (whatever it may happen to be)
Is he actually thinking we could rake 33,000,000 acres of California forest land? Does he realize most of it is not flat? I’d like to see him rake Mt Shasta.

Bet’cha trump doesn’t know there were major fires in Finland this past summer along with other places in Europe. Greece especially.
But then I suppose trump is too busy to be up on events that matter to the globe. No collusion here ya know.

Nothing penetrates that vast Me-ness you carry around, does it? There are wildfires all over the Western US every year and a lot of towns have come perilously close to burning - Los Alamos, for example, which actually does belong to the federal government.

Finland land mass: 130,666 square miles.
California land mass: 163,696 square miles.

Finland population: 5.5 million.
California population: 39 million.

The vast majority of CA’s forests are managed by the federal government (aka “The Trump Administration”).
The federal government has consistently and repeatedly reduced funding for forest management over the last two decades.

Our president (with all due respect) is a cretinous ass.

As I said earlier today: it is one thing to offer politeness. But respect is earned. I have yet to see where trump has earned any respect. He has none due him therefore offering “all due respect” would be a meaningless exercise.

So, what you’re saying, is like, California needs more, say like water?

So, maybe, once Donnie finishes up that big wall project, he could run, say, sprinklers all around California? And Canada has lot of water, so we can run a pipe from up there to us, and we should make them damned Canucks pay for it all - that’ll wipe that damned grin off Trudeau’s face!
