1. Spelling mistake: should be "evacuated"

[Saviolo]

2. I'm reminded of this from The Wire:

[Henry Krinkle]

12. Should be an 'L' in there

[Saviolo]

3. Of course he hasn't said anything about California...

He doesn't think he's the president of California. They didn't vote for him, so he doesn't need to care. Also, like most right-wingers, I'm sure he somehow believes that California is a failed state that's so deep in debt because of its liberal policies that they should just let it fail and then the GOP will sweep in and clean up the mess...

... you know, aside from all of the massive evidence to the contrary. Those pesky facts again.

17. That's where the 3,000,000 fraudulent voters live

That cost him his glorious popular vote landslide

[Initech]

4. I live close to the fires in Southern California. We're fucked.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

26. Heard it's the worst in our history... what started these wildfires?

[LuckyLib]

28. In a nutshell: extensive winter rains that grew underbrush, horrible

summer heat, and humans. Most fires caused by humans, intentionally or unintentionally (sparks, campfires, cigarettes, waste burns). Add unbelievable winds of the past week.

32. speculation of downed power lines, maintenance issues

33. Unbelievable... so sad.

[GETPLANING]

5. Trump isn't concerned about a state full of Democrats

[BarbD]

6. The 21st Century version of fiddling while Rome burns.

[tclambert]

9. This Nero golfs rather than fiddles.

[47of74]

18. That's insulting...

....to Nero or even Caligula to compare either of them to the orange fornicate face.

[Mr.Bill]

7. He can just stay out of it and let the system work.

We don't need anyone to throw paper towels at us, thank you.

[tclambert]

8. Ya gotta have priorities. Corker said something mean about Trump. What could be more important

than that? And the NFL wouldn't let him buy a team way back when. He has to show them. California on fire? Let him know when it gets near one of his golf courses.

[niyad]

16. I had been wondering about his frothing at the mouth about the nfl, and then I read

this morning about him owning some team and trying to form a new league.

will he EVER grow up? what a silly question!!

[Gothmog]

10. K&R

11. Deaths in Niger

Pretty sure the #moronpotus hasn't even acknowledged the deaths of our service members in Niger.
Meanwhile, the country burns down.

[marlakay]

13. Yesterday I was numb about daughter losing everything

her rental house burnt to ground, no insurance.

Today I feel grateful she is alive, they woke her up 2 am and said grab your purse only fire moving fast. And she had just moved a few months ago treating herself to the better area near the hills and golf course in better side of town. Sigh...

She is in Santa Rosa, fire in Fountain Grove area.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

27. So sorry to hear that... and, yes, just have to be grateful she's alive.

[Fritz Walter]

14. Now, if there was tiki-torching there, hed notice

Not enough Nazis and Klansmen there to warrant his attention, concern or support.

[SummerSnow]

15. Trump: " This fire is massive" ..." You should be happy only 11 died"

You know it's coming. Trump does not like the Governor of California. He'll start tweeting how the California Governor was not nice to him.

[onecent]

19. You foolish ...Iwon't even call you any more, I would be blacklisted

[UltravioletDingo]

20. Unfit

[yuiyoshida]

21. Whats amazing to me is I live in San Francisco

[Crash2Parties]

22. Number who've died now at 15 :-(

23. Crying. Friends are safe, I heard from them.

But lost it all.

I don't care how you spell it, this man is a MORON. And he'll do nothing. Oh, BTW, folks on this thread arguing about SPELLING? Try shipping water and goods. It's what we've been doing instead of thrashing about a WORD.

24. The funny thing

is that CA has a number of wealthy GOP donors, and about 30-ish percent of Californians voted for him, but I guess he doesn't give AF about what happens to them either.

[SergeStorms]

25. Well, Trump has his priorities....

and there are some brain damaged RepubliCONS who think he has his priorities right!

Mental disease runs rampant within the GOP at the moment. They have no idea which way their party is heading, or how they're ever going to put it back together again now that Trump has destroyed the self-described "Grand Old Party". Personally, I think it's hilarious.

[malthaussen]

29. So, now we want Mr Trump to tweet?

The meme is not without merit, but isn't it curious that in less than a year Mr Trump's tweetfests have now become one standard by which we rate the merit of a President?

30. Just what did you expect

from a FUCKING Moron?

[SleeplessinSoCal]

31. updates

The Wine Country blazes, which are only 40 percent contained. As of late Tuesday night, the wildfires ravaging the area had killed at least 17 people and destroyed more than 2,000 homes in multiple counties.
