Some would recall the President-Elect’s eloquent words of comfort to the 2018 #ParklandSchoolShooting victims when he said that he would “run in there even if I didn't have a weapon” to take down the #ActiveShooter and save the day.

Today the #PresidentElect wrote that #California “incompetent pols have no idea how to put” the #LAFires out, that “[t]hey just can’t put out the fires. What’s wrong with them?” He didn’t mention #FirstResponders. He gave no words of comfort to those are suffering through this catastrophe.

But I can’t wait for #Jan21 because – like the ending of the Ukraine and Gaza conflicts and #MakingEggsCheaper – #President #Trump will get the #CaliforniaFires out on #DayOne of his #NewAdministration! Let him run in there amongst the flames in his #InagurationDay super-suit and quench the #wildfires with his famous #BigWater !

(See the award-winning photograph of the once-and-future president travelling incognito in northern California looking for the special #VeryLargeFaucet – that only he knows how to operate: for only he can save #LA – below:)

Just a reminder that the dry season in California, when wildfires normally happen, is from May to September. Late fall and winter are crucial for filling reservoirs and building snowpack.

We cannot let the news media normalize this as a "natural disaster" and erase the normal seasonality of these events.

"From the mixed pine and oak forest in the Klamath Mountains to the Mojave Desert, Sierra Foothills, there is not an inch of California that is not now part of this conflagration and it's true throughout the American West of course"

Image from ADSBExchange showing a C130 and Mad Dog passing each other going between Fox Field in Palmdale and the CA fires to load up and drop Phos-chek. It is interesting to watch all the helicopters clear when an MD-80 comes in.

I can't even begin to imagine how much of the wildlife has been killed by the #californiafires 🥺💔💔💔💔😭😭😭

For the people blaming others for the damage from the #californiafires Fire chief in Pacific Palisades says the sprinkler systems in all the homes started leaking out water all at the same time because of the scope of the fire leading to a loss of water pressure everywhere. He acknowledged that with the hurricane force winds, there's nothing they could have done differently to stop the devastating damage.

To the ppl blaming others for damage caused by the fires STFU Seriously.
Just S. T. F. U.

Water pressure is going to be low/non-existent when half a fxcking state's on fire. It drops in the shower if the DW is running. What do they think's going to happen if 1000 firefighters are tapping into the same water supply @ the same time?

Hurricane-like winds don't allow water drops from the air.

Know who's to blame for devastating wildfires? Big oil & the GQP #ClimateChange #CaliforniaFires

Just heard from a colleague that the house they were living in California is completely gutted in the fires. Luckily they moved out into East coast a few months back so escaped unhurt...
So sorry and sad to see the raging fires and the huge destruction it is causing...
#ClimateCrisis#CaliforniaFires

Is there anyone from the Burbank area who knows what's happening with the fires there? #CaliforniaFires 🥺
