Every voter should be made aware of this.

Trump just admitted he will block emergency disaster funds to settle political vendettas.

Today it’s California’s wildfires.

Tomorrow it could be hurricane funding for North Carolina or flooding assistance for homeowners in Pennsylvania.

Donald Trump doesn’t care about America — he only cares about himself.

Completely in character for his lack-of-character.

File this under: "Not shocking."

1. The wildfires are in Conservaitve parts of the state

To add to the irony.

7. Actually not true.

9. Actually true

Just popped open a political map and indeed these fires are in the purple districts that are the districts conservatives would love to hold on to. Indeed, the higher mountain communities lean more conservative than the lower communities. These are the very people he should be trying to win over.

10. Big Bear is 45@ D to 30% R. It's in San Bernardino County, which voted 54.2% D in the last Pres election.

It’s not as simple as you made it — it is truly purple.

You said the fires are in “conservative parts.” Not all — it’s an oversimplification, which is why I said it’s not true.

2. Fuck this fucking fuck

One would have to be insane to cast a vote for this vindictive asshole — let’s hope his base follows him off the cliff

4. And yet, tens of millions

will do just that!

3. Think: Covid PPE, blue states.

He has already gone there.

5. That is trump's speed!

6. His MAGA followers approve

Even if it hurts them, very likely it'll also hurt "those people" so that makes it worth it.

14. It's all about pain and punishment. We are in a dangerous place.

8. Well, seeing how climate change is becoming more violent, frequent

and more widespread ... when lightning and gale force wind attacks Djt's Floridian hideaway, hope Madam President lets nature take its course.

11. If the big quake or fire hit CA, he wouldn't treat us any better than PR.

12. Because all the money in the Treasury belongs to him if he is elected

13. Will Harris bring this new info up in her rallies?

SHE SHOULD!

This is something that can potentially affect any state, and is abhorrent.

Also a point that will definitely connect with voters.

15. Is this anywhere but twitter?

my son has a cabin in the evacuation zone and this is so fucking wrong. I'll check fb and instagram. I would like to share it.
