It’s just the Blue Doggish Dogs mouthing off about Pelosi, they’ll get knocked out in 2020 and Pelosi will be leader…because no one else is running!

So Murph, the Blue Wave is drowning Trump now!

Praying for rain in California. 1 to stop the fires, 2 to stop /trump visiting!

It certainly is signaling a rising tide around the WH.

PPO – I hope so, this is unimagineable, these monstrous fires.
AdLib an hour ago
Incredible – so many missing as well.
pinkpantheroz

Hundreds missing…seeing the burned out cars is frightening.

PPO Trump gave an interview to Wallace from Fox in which he rambled on and on about how badly managed the brush and trees are in CA. His source was a piece of videotape in which he watched fire fighters raking down brush to keep it from blazing….he dismissed any other cause but mismanagement…..what a moron.

Yeah, Murph. A Good raking would have prevented it! Riiiight!

Ad…..is there any conversation in CA about what needs to be done to keep this tragedy from happening over and over.

Murph – I’m sure he’s seen plenty of other footage that undermines his bullshit but he is a simple-minded hateful person who needs to see everything as a hammer to beat on his perceived enemies. And the state of CA has almost completely fumigated the GOP out so it is his enemy.

Eradicating eucalypt trees would be a start. Imported from OZ for their silver foliage, but full of oil andprone to expplode

PPO ….really!

Yep

Ad…..yeah…lash out blindly is what passes for engagement for him.

Eucalyps NEED fire to pop open their seed pods and propagate

Trump is an irrelevance now – a lame duck come Jan, unless he bombs somewhere before
pinkpantheroz

I never knew that….so they have to wait for a fire to reproduce? Does this happen in nature usually?
MurphTheSurf3
an hour ago
Yes. Lightning kicks things off.

There is no easy answer. Taking out trees raises CO2 and makes Climate Change worse, also destroys watershed.
AdLib an hour ago
Trump will be sidelined because he does not have control of the House and does not know how to leverage the White House and Senate to move things….art of the deal….my ass!
MurphTheSurf3
an hour ago
Ad…..don’t forests need to be thinned (nature does it with fire)? How about population free zone with fire breaks?
MurphTheSurf3

Arizona had huge fires, other states have in recennt years. Getting rid of trees won’t solve a climate issue, only make it worse.
AdLib an hour ago
Ad, other trees, like plane and ash, quick growing deciduous, not full of oil
pinkpantheroz
an hour ago
PPO….you seem to have an important angle on this.
MurphTheSurf3
an hour ago
Thinking just of CA, Murph right now. Just a little start to help down the line
pinkpantheroz

Come to think of it, pines act much the same, but I don’t think they are as dangerous.
pinkpantheroz

Murph – Yes, in fact Malibu and those hills that go quite a ways are supposed to have fires, they have since before people lived there, it’s a normal part of the cycle. A very big roblem now is that the over development of housing has put many hoes in natural burn areas. Couple that with the intensified fires due to Climate Change and you have massive disasters like this.
AdLib an hour ago
Ad, are you or any rels near any of the big ones?
pinkpantheroz
an hour ago
Ad….her in Missouri something similar is the building on flood planes but not nearly as catastrophic nor as quick in its finality.
MurphTheSurf3
an hour ago
What is finally happening here is required separation of building from those planes……it is opposed of course but then the next flood comes.

The Woolsey fire was 15-20 miles away from me, on the first morning, I could see a massive plume of smoke from my backyard, like a nuclear bomb’s mushroom cloud. I’m in the city though so the fire can’t really grow and come this way but I’ve lived in the hills not very far from where it swept through.

I love the individualistic part of Americans, living in the forests and all that, but it is deadly nowadays. Just read your note and hope you’re well out of any spark trails or wind
