You mean like supercalifragilisticexpialidocious? Some one should really give us all the bestest Xmas present by slipping this on to his teleprompter.

Blue state. I think any disaster there will be met with a similar calm and equanimity. Bad things happen, it’s really sad, when you think about it, that people lost their houses, what can you do, any other questions? Yeah, you in the back

Yeah ‘very sad’. How about tragic? Devastating? At 72 years old you ‘should’ have a little bigger vocabulary FMOTUS.

Another thing he didn’t seem to mention is how despite the minor inconvenience of the moment, everyone’s displaying great spirit and it’s actually beautiful to see and the first responders are doing amazing work and everything’s well under control and coming together beautifully and very, very quickly. No, strangely enough, this California problem doesn’t get the magical healing Trump touch. He “watches” it and it’s “sad.” All very passive and uninvolved, for a guy who heads the executive branch of a government that’s set up to, you know, do good stuff. Interesting.

States in the west have agreements to assist each other during wild fires. WA state sent a contingent of local firefighters to help. Among them a group from the Seattle Fire Dept. The feds may have crews on the ground but these fires are being fought by folks from fire departments up and down the west coast including Idaho and Montana. He does not deserve one iota of credit for their efforts. A strike group from Berkeley filmed their experience.

He cannot express compassion or empathy because he is incapable of doing so.

Exactly! I can just imagine him saying that this is going to be great for his winery


Sadly
maybe now he won’t be lying when he says it’s one of the biggest in the country.

Australia is also part of the agreement, having quite a bit of experience from battling persistent bush fires.

Also a group from American Samoa. I would’ve preferred that he said nothing. He never acknowledged the devastation in MT from this year’s conflagrations nor Eastern WA.

He just makes my puke glands wobbly. I am sick of him and his enablers.

I am firmly convinced that he only gets involved in the disasters that occur in states that voted for him.

President Donald Trump on Monday said the wildfires that have devastated California wine country and other parts of the state over the last week, leaving at least 40 people dead and destroying thousands of homes, were “a very sad thing to watch.”

Yeah, that’s helpful.

“But we’re a little subject to winds and what happens with nature. But it’s been a very sad thing to watch.”

(My forehead just hit the desk).

And likewise


And look at the total absence of outrage from the GOP, which BENGHAZI!!!-ed for years.

The prez went on to say, “The sun rises in the east- who knew?”

Run for office- the 2018 elections are just a year away! And if Trump and Louie Gohmert can get elected what’s to stop a qualified candidate?

Become a Precinct Committee Officer, sometimes it’s a Ward officer. You’ll meet with neighborhood Dems and get out the vote. Find good citizens willing to run for office.

Register people to vote. If you need to help people overcome the GOP-led Voter run-around help them do that.

Run for School Board. Make sure Civics is being properly taught. Think a majority of America knows how government works? Just 26% of eligible voters in America voted for Trump and half of eligible voters stayed home last November. Today’s 12-year olds will be voting for President in 8 years.

Run for Mayor, City Council, County Commissioner, Borough Assembly.

Get appointed to your Planning Commission. Know everything going on in your community.

Run for State Legislature or Congress. The next census is in 2020, then we’ll redraw Congressional Districts. Get rid of GERRYMANDERING! Safe GOP seats gave us such intellectual giants as Louie Gohmert and Steve King. In most cases it’s the state Legislature that draws Congressional boundaries. Make it FAIR, OPEN and HONEST!

Overturn Citizens United. Money is NOT speech and Corporations are NOT people- at least not until Texas executes one.
Overturn any voter ID laws that are clearly an attempt to disenfranchise.

He also said that President Obama did not call the families of soldiers killed in action. And McConnell stood there and allowed that lie to be broadcast.
