The devastation in the Los Angeles area is horrible to contemplate. Thousands of acres burned, thousands of buildings destroyed and dozens of deaths from fires raging around Los Angeles.
Firefighters are working relentlessly against a cataclysmic fire that is also in turn relentless that defies efforts at suppression and containment.
Homeowners are forced to flee knowing full well they will likely not have homes to return to.
According to one news source, "Light breezes were fanning the flames, but the National Weather Service warned that strong Santa Ana winds could soon return. Those winds have been largely blamed for turning the wildfires into infernos that leveled entire neighborhoods around to city where there has been no significant rainfall in more than eight months."
Well, I can see where that might cause a lot of problems.
Or it could be Democrats to blame?
Oh, fuck, are we dealing with this again?
Donald Trump too is relentless in his big push to assign blame for the fires to Democratic governor Gavin Newsom (or as Li'l Donnie calls him, "New Scum". Way to keep it classy.)
Politifact has tracked the many, many lies Donald Trump and his sycophants have spread. Li'l Donnie is relying on outdated information, misapplied data and just fucking outright fabrications to make sure Southern Californians know that Democrats are responsible for your home being a smoldering pile of ash.
In a time of crisis, people need the one goddam thing Donald Trump cannot provide and that's some simple empathy. Maybe someone somewhere did not make a relevant or important decision that somehow led to these fires that are devastating lives and structures around Los Angeles. The time for getting to that answer is not now while people are still fighting and people are still grieving.
