I bet the Governor is counting his blessings that this crisis, if it was going to happen anyway, happened while Biden was POTUS. God bless Governor Newsom. To be in trouble is one thing but to be mocked, humiliated, and abandoned with cruelty when you are in need is beyond comprehension until it happens to you. The ground disappears under your feet. It is the cruelest act. And, to think there are animals that will come to the aid of a human or another animal and not abandon them where does that leave us? We are capable of the direst cruelty as well as the best of humanity. We have been teetering back and forth since the beginning of time. Choose wisely. Choose to be kind. Choose to not judge. Take care.

Construction businesses need to order building supplies that the US imports from Canada asap ! A little Stimulation for the economy from Mother Nature

Maybe a call to your elected representatives can get this suggestion over to the Governor of California -- It is heartening to see how Canada has jumped right in to help us in this crisis.

I am sad for everyone impacted by the fires and sort of, well, relieved it happened now. I know how that sounds. It's because the Biden-Harris administration will do everything they possibly can for all of you while they can. They will. I believe it.

Yes, that is because Biden and Harris care about people and govern with the best interests of people as the priority. Magas have no clue about governing. They are the party of whining grievance politics. pathetic.

I wonder how the maggots that live in CA and lost their home feel about Dementia Don?

Actor James Woods and MAGA billionaire and owner of a burned shopping center in the Palisades (and failed mayoral candidate) Rick Caruso both parroted almost the exact same talking points hours apart. They have their script, and it's all political and with zero humanitarian notes.

No matter how much they suffer, lying Trump cultists will always blame disaster and misfortune on Democrats and give the billionaire set anything they want.

Thoughts are with everyone affected by the fires. Stay safe 🩵

Ben, you didn’t curse - came close a couple times. Very understandable considering the circumstances.

Thank goodness all are safe!

Well the billionaire tax freeloaders club is now showing how when money is not paid into the system for infrastructure that is used by all, what that creates.

If billionaires were taxed, FIREFIGHTERS, could have been hired…

Instead while people die and loose their homes these white a$$ are sitting on their yachts crying about trans people to divert that that are freeloaders, pay your fair share…or get out.

You’re in our prayers. Those of us who are sane, understand “acts of nature” under the siege of climate change. Stay safe.

OMG! I’m so sorry to hear this! How scary and very sad! We will be praying for you and your family. Please let us know if there is anything we can do. #MeidasMighty!

I would humbly suggest sending gift subscriptions -- just a follower but that seems to be an immediate show of support; or donate to the charities that are responding to this crisis.

Sorry to hear but great you are okay. Fuck Trump! He’s a horrific dickhead who should be nowhere near the White House or commenting on anything.

Expand full comment

He is completely incompetent and a failure at anything he has touched including his marriages, his children, his businesses, his relationships business and personal. Amazing how ruinous behavior continues to burn brightly. Karma is packed and the ETA is always on time.

My cousin lives in Pacific Palisades. Her children grew up there. They are on vacation in Reno. So she doesn’t know the status of her house either, but it doesn’t look good. Before he died, her father made a bunch of carved Christmas ornaments. They were in a bug out bag in the garage. But they weren’t there to grab the bug out bag. Everything in the house is bad enough. But there are some things that are truly irreplaceable. I hope you got those out, in addition to your family.

It doesn’t look good! Pictures show absolute devastation, entire neighborhoods gone! So terribly sad!

Ben and family and all those affected by these horrific fires...

We're thinking of you all. Please be safe. Unfortunately, many Australians know the devastation of bushfires. We're with you. 🙂🙏🏼💙

once again, acting president, Trump, is unable to put anybody by himself in the front. He is unable to grieve with the people that he’s supposedly representing, he is unable to understand that all of the states, all of the governments, all of the people in those states are supposed to be his people. As human beings, as people professing to be religious, our focus should be on our fellow people. His focus once again is scoring points, making up lies, and instead of helping hurting. I’m so sorry about the fires in California and all the suffering that is there.

One of the ways to tell a true psychopath is that they are totally devoid of empathy or any kind of care for others' wellbeing. Trump is a true psychopath.

Last year after some California wildfires, djt said he would not send FEMA aid to California until the Governor signed a water bill djt favored!

The document apparently doesn’t exist. But I’m sure he’ll do everything he can to cause the fire victims pain. It’s what he does.

Trump is dangerously ill and evil. He has a long, long, long list of grievances he cannot put down and he never forgets. And again we have proof if he says he will do something he means it. I believe he will turn the power of POTUS on other nations to conquer them. He will.

Expand full comment

Yes. Grievance is all he has. No ideas or policies to improve or help anyone or anything. No desire for anything. Just grievance, and grift.

I use to live in Los Angeles and left in 1995. My cousin lives in Altadena and his area was devastated and

Expand full comment

I am so sorry. Is your cousin and family safe and away? It must be terrible to see an area where you lived and hold memories to be wiped away. It is not something any one of us would expect to happen here in this country. There will be no leadership over the next four years. Maybe we should collectively research how to respond when climate change strikes where we live. No one is safe any longer. Every expression of our climate will be the same but compounded and events will have little time to recover from not separated by a generation but maybe even less than one year. Mother Nature on steroids. And we are not prepared.
