Trump is right about this. Measures that should have been taken were not. It's not as if forest management is a mystery. And yes, it started on Federal Land. But who makes the rules about when and where and how these measures can be taken? The State of CA.

Trump is the only decent human being in the room. He is trying to stop the drug traffickers, the coyotes, the killers of our police and citizenry, the terrorists and gang members that are coming, and the decent ones who are dying in the desert trying to get here.

You suppport murder, rape, heroin, terrorism, gangs, and human trafficking.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Republicans do not care about americans. Their inaction on the wall proves once and for all they they do not want to stop illegal immigration as it is cheap labor for their donors.

They had two years to fund the will an did not. They did not even take a vote as that would expose their duplicity.

There is no cover for the GOP. They are liars.

When will they wise up? Denying funding for border security isn't the hill anyone should be dying on, but they have run out of hills so I guess they want to make it their last stand or something. Seriously, tell me, what is to be gained by denying the funding and how does it help the country?
We have it on audio and video that Trump said he was shutting the government down and taking ownership of it. I guess you missed some of the news.

You should learn to deal in facts in stead of ridiculous hyperbole. Sure, I'm the number one fan of murder and rape because I don't support your ****ing idiot. Get out of here with that BS.

1. Be specific about those measures
2. Cite why he does not hold other states to the same standards for Fema money

Good luck

Exactly. This may come as a surprise, but Toronto was once hit by a hurricane: Hurricane Hazel in 1954. The rise of the Humber River washed away a couple of streets--Raymore Drive in particular--and houses on Raymore, killing a few people. As a result, Toronto no longer allows building residential buildings in a flood plain.

Today, the former Raymore Drive is a park. A little odd park, as fire hydrants poke up through the green grass of the park--but they are the former Raymore Drive's fire hydrants--you can follow the old street's plan by following the fire hydrants.

No rebuilding occurred. Metro Toronto said, "No more building in a flood plain," and it was so. Raymore Park today is a pleasant park, with only the fire hydrants to remind you that people once lived there.

When you have a fire today not only is it almost impossible to control it also leaves a sterile landscape and the recovery can be quite long because they burn so hot and for a long time.



You need to do one of two things, allow them to return to a more natural state by not putting the fires out or manage that fuel by harvesting it.
Harvest the grassland and chaparral?
