The only thing Trump knows about forest management is how to get the bulldozers to mow them down for oil pipelines.

I’ve never agreed with the “Not my President!” people – my feeling is that we’re all Americans, and we all have the same president, like it or not.

But Trump just demonstrated that he doesn’t see himself as President of the people of California. So fuck him. I don’t have a president now; my allegiance stops at Gavin Newsom.

Supported his grifting, and that of his Cabinet members, via their disproportionately-large contribution to the Federal tax revenues.

He probably thinks Cali doesn’t pay its fair share. Any state or country he doesn’t like doesn’t pay their fair share, in his mind. Kind of funny for someone who doesn’t pay his fair share in taxes, but apparently that’s not important to his fans.

It’s been evident for quite a while that he despises anyone who disagrees with him, and he goes out of his way to demonize them, so I’ve felt he doesn’t represent me for a long time. Whatever actions he takes will affect me, but he definitely doesn’t represent me. He would hate me and call me names if he knew me personally, I suppose. It’s obvious he expects everyone to kiss his butt while he disparages their intelligence/appearance/opinion in return. Fuck that. I see NO reason to afford the office of the president any respect when it is filled by someone who can’t even be bothered to pretend to be representing all Americans AND who actually seems to think Americans work for him rather than the other way around.

The knell of doom is that this is a credible opinion of the state of mind (such as it is) of a bit less than half the electorate today.

Yes, and they’re encouraged to be that way because it’s profitable for those who exploit them.

That is so sick. People are dying and all he can think of is pissing on the state. And to make matters worse, he doesn’t even know what he’s talking about. Neither of the fires has anything to do with forest management.

I bet he’s just pissed about the election and what the Mueller probe might reveal now that the election is over and felt like lashing out at something.

Ya think?

Plus aren’t all these forests on federal land and under federal purview?

There truly is no level below which he will not go.

[ **Trump is telling Florida to ignore military ballots. Happy Veterans Day.**

_BEEP!_

Sorry, WaPo, that question in the subhead is rational and is thus disqualified here. Anyway, this is how he does it:

Ballots infected? Did he touch them? I wouldn’t want him to touch my ballots, who knows what pussy those hands have been in…

Also, this once more shows that he’s shooting at random: doesn’t the military skew Republican? Those votes are likely to favor his guys!

That may well be what he does if he ever shows up here to witness the devastation and displacement. He’ll literally piss on the state.

Why not? He threw a few rolls of paper towel at Puerto Ricans and then went home because they’re too brown-skinned over there. He hates us Calis because we won’t worship him, so why should his treatment of us be any better?

Also, did he did he reach his conclusions by (pick one):

1. receiving a confidential briefing from members of the Justice Department enumerating items of documented evidence of voting irregularities;

2. watching some poorly sourced bit of innuendo about supposed election fraud, and found only on Fox News and/or Brietbart;

3. pulling these claims straight out of his lardy ass?

I, uh, have an opinion on which of these might be most likely.
