Biden condemns Trump as 'climate arsonist' as wildfires burn - live

Biden is right to call him an arsonist, there is nothing to gain by placating his base with his con-man bullshit that trees explode!



Donald Trump did some gloating via retweet on Monday after a federal judge ruled shutdown orders in Pennsylvania unconstitutional

District judge William Stickman IV, who was appointed by Trump, ruled orders made by governor Tom Wolf to shut down businesses in the state and limit gatherings were unconstitutional.

Pandemic policies enforced by the Wolf administration violated the right to freedom of assembly and the due process and equal protection clauses of the 14th amendment, the judge ruled.

He wrote in his hearing the governor’s efforts to slow the spread of the coronavirus “were undertaken with the good intention of addressing a public health emergency” but ultimately were overreaching, arbitrary and violated citizens’ constitutional rights.
