Donald Trump Jr. finds way to blame Ukraine for spread of Los Angeles wildfires

But firefighters said the real reasons were a lack of personnel to combat out-of-control blazes in Southern California.

Is this all just more misdirection from the actual horrible stuff they are doing?
Another Greenland LOOK OVER THERE! moment.
- That was his entire first term. I think that’s what’s expected from season 5 of 2017 too.
  How many people were aware that Trump rolled back 112 climate and safety regulations in his first term? What about quintupling farm subsidies for corporations, effectively disqualifying smaller farms from staying in the market? Or moving covid reporting from the CDC to HHS in June of 2020, coinciding with a flattened curve of contractions relative to the rest of the world, while somehow still leading the world in deaths?
  
  Indeed, the Orange Shitstain's trade war with China backfired and he increased farm subsidies, socialism, from $4 billion to over $20 billion. The dumb mofo will repeat this after he loses his next trade war.
- "They're just distracting us" has to be the weirdest thing people say about politics. "They're looking stupid to distract us from their stupid?"
  Who can't pay attention to more than one thing?
  
  It's not just two things, it's multiple things. Daily. It's absolutely hard to keep up with, and then hard to keep caring when you run out of fucks to give. Most people disengage
  
  Most people? That’s why he’s about to be president again.
Why is the family of the president even a big deal? Or any deal at all. What is it, a monarchy? I guess now it is.
- Because Trump made all his kids advisors to the president last time he was in office.
- If Trump could, he would turn USA into a monarchy. Right now he just settles for all the features of one. Every baron of tech went to his palace to grovel at the throne.
- It's a banana republic. Makes sense they want Panama.
- It is pretty weird. I have no idea if our (I guess former now) Prime Minister even has children, let alone what their opinions are
Spewing nonsense isn't finding a way to blame them. It's spewing nonsense. It's not logical. If I was mad about capitalism and started screaming at salamanders for it you wouldn't say I found a way to blame salamanders. You'd call me insane. Let's call a duck a duck ay?
Not personnel.
clear cut forests
replant overly dense for farming lumber
in a climate dependent on regular smaller fires, fight every fire for 150 years
allow and subsidize the buildup of atmospheric carbon and the runaway of global warming and climate change
ignore all scientific evidence and pursue only short-term profits
... Then act surprised and blame everything but the actual problem when mega fires bloom ever larger and more out of control year after year. They even signed a non binding agreement basically agreeing to the above. And, this very much isn't just California, they just have the local climate with a drought/flood cycle that really exacerbates the cycle.
- (stop wildfires from ever happening as they naturally do to protect property, which leads to a massive build up of very flammable brush, and once a fire finally gets out of hand, instead of being rather small as happens naturally, there is immense amounts of flammable dead wood and brush which turns it into an uncontrollable monster). [We should have learnt from indigenous fire management techniques]
  
  (plants the flammable, heavily invasive eucalyptus tree all over)
  
  Civilized societies burn smaller piles of shit on the regular!
"and the media can't shut the fuck up about it."
We're enabling this.
