Notre Dame

It was heartbreaking to witness the great Notre Dame cathedral in flames on Monday. An incredible piece of architectural art and history so indelibly part of the Paris landscape for nearly nine centuries, watching this great structure burn was shocking. 



The good news out of this is that the main structure of Notre Dame is still intact, including its twin iconic towers. The main damage was to the roof and to the towering spire that crashed to the ground in flames. 

A lot of the priceless and irreplaceable treasures stored within the cathedral were saved. The firefighters in Paris are to be commended for their swift and sure actions that saved a lot of art and artifacts from the conflagration as well as containing the fire itself. As bad as the damage was to Notre Dame, the situation would've been much worse without the quick and decisive actions of Paris' firefighters. 

Perhaps they were heeding the call from across the ocean to act quickly.



Yeah, this moron had to weigh in.   

"Must act quickly!"  

What the fuck did he think was going on over there? 

We look in on a Parisian fire station. Jacques and Pierre are enjoying a snack of cheese and wine because that's all the French do over there, right? Well, I imagine that's what Donald is thinking!  

Jacques: Oh non! Notre Dame est en feu!

Pierre: C’est une tragédie! Que devons-nous faire? 

Jacques: Tout d’abord, nous devrions finir notre vin et... 

Hold on! Let me move this to English! 

Jacques: Oh no! Notre Dame is on fire! 

Pierre: This is such a tragedy! What should we do?  

Jacques: First, we should finish our wine and cheese, then...

Pierre: Hold on! I am seeing a tweet from America! 

Donald Trump: Must act quickly! 

Pierre: A-HA! That is it! 

Jacques: WE must act...

Pierre and Jacques (together): QUICKLY!!!

Pierre: Bless you, Donald Trump, for your wisdom!   

But what about the part about the flying water tankers?  

Most fire fighting experts agree that dousing the fire at Notre Dame cathedral with a shit ton of H2O from a flying water tanker would crush a lot of the cathedral. 

So as for Li'l Donnie's suggestion to use flying water tankers, he's a fucking moron.

Or as they would say in France,  Quel crétin!
