Fire every year is a cost of living, not a disaster. The federal government can save a bit more money by selling flammable land.

People in different states will be treated differently based on how personally loyal they are to the American Mussolini.
CA has money for illegal but they have no money to manage their forests.

So disingenuous. Yes there is a drought in New England, but eventually it'll end and turn wet again. The northeast/new england has a way different climate than California and you know that.

I hope future Presidents will be more statesmanlike. This is, or was, just petty.

Trump administration reverses course on California wildfire aid

Apparently Gov. Newsome kissed his plump arse enough to sate Trump's ego.

Or someone impressed upon Trump just how bad this looked weeks before the election.

I suspect that's pretty much a given.

You have to hand it to Newsome, he will go to great lengths for his electorate. I hope he had Listerine at hand.
