1. A rather stark example of Trump's treason. nt

[Fritz Walter]

2. "All roads lead to..."

Vladdy Daddy.

[AllyCat]

3. He is not working for America.

Only Putin.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

4. See also Ted Lieu's tweet re: most of the forests owned by US Feds & starved for funding by tRump.nt

5. During Trump's next White House helicopter pad news conference

some reporter needs to ask;

"Mr President, did President Putin have the Siberian forest raked before the fire started, and if not, why deny California help but not Russia?"

Put him on the spot and piss him off.

11. He'll pretend he never heard the question and ignore it

Then he'll try to get the reporter who asked it, kicked out of the WH Press Corps.
Just ask Jim Acosta (CNN) how that strategy works.

[Harker]

29. Holding a cupped hand to one's ear

and feigning an inability to hear, or ignoring a question, is getting pretty thin.

Journalists need to ask the important questions... often and loudly.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

33. that's why there are megaphones ...

[flying_wahini]

14. Yes. This. Now.

[Initech]

6. Deregulation of the energy industry led to this, not "bad forest management".

Actually no let's place the blame on the fact that conservatives hate California, because, liberal derangement.

[FrankfurtCat]

7. What a hateful, horrible creature he is

[NoMoreRepugs]

8. The ADS just keep writing themselves. Appeal to

'Merican's sense of patriotism and tRumpys lack thereof and I think you pick up votes across the country.

[ffr]

9. Sick, isn't it!

[NCjack]

10. Advice for Russians: Rake your damn forests -- what's wrong with you? nt

[yuiyoshida]

12. ITs only because most of CA voted for

Hillary...I am sure that was part of the motivation.

[LuvNewcastle]

16. That's all it is.

He doesn't give a shit about the blue states. So much for being President of the whole country. He does all he can to polarize and divide us.

[bdamomma]

27. That

is part of it, and they hate liberal ideas.

13. Pence kisses Donald's ass. Donald kisses Vlad's ass.

Pence kisses Donald's ass. Donald kisses Vlad's ass.

As his master Vlad approaches

[dalton99a]

23. +1. The puppet is animated by his master

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

15. +1000

Sad but true.

[Native]

17. Retweeted. Thanks!

[JudyM]

18. Excellent contrast.

[gibraltar72]

19. well was there ever any doubt??

[duforsure]

20. Trump demands loyalty

Then he refuses to be loyal to Americans, but is to Putin. Hmmmmm, I smell a dirty rat.

[bdamomma]

26. tRump wants to part of

oligarch club.

[tclambert]

21. You gotta dance with them what brung ya.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

22. Sad but brilliant comparison Earl.

[Mc Mike]

24. No ones been tougher on Russia.

No puppet, no puppet.

[bdamomma]

25. What a vile

POS, see how that fire is burning that will be his fate when he goes to HELL!

[Joinfortmill]

28. He should

And he should charge them with contempt of Congress. Traitors, all.

[Cha]

30. What does russia have on psycho trump?

[densan]

31. California - 5th or 6th...

... in global economy.
We're talking countries, not US states...
Uhhh, yeah maybe we should secede, and become a
"Republic" as referenced on our flag.
Prob "Not a good move", for a number of reasons.
But then - No more subsidizing "Red welfare states" thru Federal taxes.
To put it in perspective, "No taxation without equalitarian representation"
- which means the Electoral College has go to go...

[DonaldsRump]

32. There are many Republicans in California

and many counties that are Republican. I fully appreciate that this map from the 2016 Presidential election focuses on land size/county, rather than population:

[link:|

However, if I were a Republican, Democrat, independent, or any functioning human being living in any California area affected by the fires since 2017 (and there have been many that were catastrophic), i would be OUTRAGED at seeing this.

I don't mean to politicize suffering and tragedy, but this is too much. I hope the folks that are in a position to do so in California (e.g, California Democratic Party and local Democratic organizations) start micro-targeting issues like this to relevant geographies to chip away at every single voter for the next 365 days. Something like this also has impact at the state and local levels, even if it won't change the vote at a national level.
