    Red states pay for the food, it’s not just random charity. It’s called an economy. There are resources California has to pay for also. You might ask those rural ranchers who grew that food who they voted for while you’re at it.

    They have all returned to Mexico and Central America and they never had a vote anyway. Why do your republicans hate firefighters so much? oh...Florida isn't flooding anymore, right. Have yet to see a blue state refuse to help a red state under natural disaster West coast responders were all volunteering for Katrina ..Oregon sent a bunch of aid..dems voted fo a relief package along republicans.....this shit is just hate fueled by hate. Fuck Tuberman with his confederate flag pole and fuck partisan bullshit in times of disaster. I hope you never have your home threatened by raging fires. Big shoutout to all first responders working those fires in Cali....they are the bravest of the brave...cowards take cheap shots from their safe zones.

    And California provides it. The biggest economy in this country. They provide a lot to other states. When there is an emergency representatives and senators from those other states don't need to act like soulless assholes.

    Governor Newsom invited Trump and members of Congress to come view destruction and speak to people affected. Even said he would personally praise Trump for providing aid. They won't.

    I want you to know how cheap and dishonest of a tactic it is to artificially position yourself “alongside the firefighters” while simultaneously inventing a narrative that a person you disagree with on an unrelated issue is “against the firefighters” somehow. It’s really pathetic emotional manipulation.
    “Taking cheap shots from safety zones” is exactly what YOU are doing here, not anyone else.
    Nobody is against fighting fires, so you can quit white knighting from your armchair for an “anti-firefighter” problem that doesn’t exist. Maybe just address the actual things people say.

    When you sell something and I buy it, that’s fair market trade and an even slate. You aren’t doing me any favors. It’s as stupid as me saying “look at all the money we give you for your fruits and vegetables, we basically support you, we’re your providers”.

    It’s just not how it works.

    FEMA being told not to provide aid to Trump voters after a hurricane comes to mind here. That alone is a much more evil and egregious offense than any of the left-right bickering you guys are now pretending to be offended by in relation to these fires.

    Accept it is. California is integral to our countries economy and besides that point part of our country. We need to offer support during emergencies without political bullshit.

    They are getting help from everywhere, despite the monumental failures in their leadership which exacerbated the crisis tenfold.

    refusing to fund California is refusing to fund firefighters in California and for the GOP cheap shot artists like yourself.....that's hardly my white knighting problem...you should read what Tuberville has to say about funding California's firefighting efforts.....for you to take offense at my post shows just how dug in you are with Tuberman's anti Californian rhetoric over politics...not people's lives...you can stuff your adolescent bullshit.Try addressing what people actually do...I've fought 7 major forest fires in Northern Cal and know what it's like to have my home threatened by fire so I'm speaking from experience....you think it's easy to stop fire carried by 100 mile per hour winds? ...it's like saying Hiroshima could've stopped the bomb. Your lack of empathy over your liberal hate stick is getting tired dude. You guys look at social services as if it's some kind of commie welfare and then complain that the check isn't coming on time. Firefighters are a product of taxpayer dollars, not campaign funds. FEMA workers contrary to your beliefs are not partisan warriors denying services over your vote either...that's some more political rhetoric that's used by any wannabe MAGA warrior. You guys need a reality check. At a time when we can stand together..you double down on partisan finger pointing. Big Island of Hawaii is a blue state and I guess you will blame the firefighters there for the volcano as well.....it's going off right now. The only disaster you guys will address is if the banks need to be bailed out.

    The biggest fire in the country this summer stopped a few miles short of my house. I was on evacuation notice for two weeks.

    Am I more right than you now? Is this how the dick swinging contest goes?

    No, but you should certainly have some damned respect having experienced it. Instead, you want to side with asswipe politicians who down give two shits these peoples houses are or might be burning down, including yours.

    Which fire almost burnt your house down? I bet your state had outside support. Probably some from blue states. I bet those blue states didn't sit back and say fuck Wyoming.

    Glad your house was spared but I don't care what you do with your dick...nor should you mine. My wife and I had to evacuate our home 8 years ago and I had heart surgery in the middle of that horrible fire right behind the hospital in Springfield...I've also evacuated from Paradise Park in Hawaii over the Volcano erupting.....seen a lot of disasters...my wife's hometown in Taiwan was hit hard by an earthquake not long ago and many people lost businesses and homes...under all of these conditions only red state MAGA jerks are lacking empathy for victims of disasters...most people come together and rebuild...grieve and share during these times. You are definitely more "right" than I am...politically I lean left of center.
