But good that the declaration was made officially, which means they will be able to get disaster relief.
This is what is called “chutzpah”.
Moonbeam trashes President Trump 24/7, then comes begging for money

“This is what is called “chutzpah”.
Right....F you Trump now give us money says Jerry.
I’d send them napalm....anything to distract the bastards from passing anymore laws or regulations.
“California IS a major disaster. “
Fires are the least of their problems.
Why aren’t they getting aid from Mexico and Central America?
They hate Trump with a passion and go running to him with their hats in their hand when they want something.
Shasta County is one of the great RED counties of rural California and voted for Trump by a 2:1 margin.
Glad they’re getting some federal help.
I think Trump should treat those bastards they way they have treated him. To hell with them. I assure you is is all arson out there, It is a damned cottage industry for “ fire fighters: what a racket. Just say “NO”. If they weren’t so damned broke from feeding parasite infestations of illegal aliens , they could fight their own damned fires set by terrorists
Living here they in those countries would say we are due to all of the cheap labor we are getting from them
Maybe we should levy a fee for all of the money transfers back to these countries as a “contribution” towards fighting the fires where all of their amigos live
Imagine if Kalifornia put 1% of it’s money it has wasted on high-speed trains to nowhere into something like the 747 global supertankers...
Nah, that would be too practicable for leftists.
Will the Feds rewrite the regulations so that professional Forest Managers can actually properly manage the forests?
WHy? Did Congress get the permission of the taxpayers from the other 49 States and territories??
Sorry, but this is why the (R) loses the debate(s): Their own inconsistency (this...or just visit ANY SS/MediXYZ thread)
There very own eco Nazis are causing this
