We can't fight those California fires forever

After all, firefighters, their planes, and their equipment all cost money. And as far as the death and destruction, people should have thought about that when they chose to live there.

The above statement is totally insane. Yet, Trump has said virtually the same thing about removing FEMA and troops from Puerto Rico, while blaming Puerto Ricans for their problems.

What a dick. What a first-class, major dick. What a waste of human flesh.

In today's Washington Post, Eugene Robinson calls for Trump to be impeached if he abandons Puerto Rico. Robinson rightly calls such an act by a president a high crime.

Trump needs to be dragged, kicking and screaming from the White House.
