Was saying to a friend "I think I may have died a bit ago and gotten to my reservation in hell because this is some cartoon level villainy" Trump driving on the drained Lincoln memorial with the limo-tank was creative I will say. That said, this shit just keeps getting worse and worse.
4-5% of the world's population is ruining the rest of the entire planet (and has been for the past century or more). They have no cultural unity beyond boomers telling their grandkids how music from their time was the best to ever emerge from the universe. It's just comfort, convenience, and hyper-individualism. The most dominant mindsets are those who think "If I have ATTITUDE, I will prevail!"
In 5-15 years, USA will be a different amalgamation of things, and its people will finally change.
Not all Canadians are nice, not all Americans are not nice. Any chance we can stop fighting over who owns what and remember we all live in the same planet, the one we are destroying and an alarming rate? Is that too much to ask??
Just sitting here looking for new places but unfortunately I signed a life time lease when I was born. So now I'm stuck here with these idiot roommates
Hey America, when California and Colorado were burning to the ground, your smoke crossed the border and affected us. When your many decades (still ongoing) of air and water pollution crossed the border, they affected us. When Mt St Helens blew up, your ash fell on us, too. When ice storms and hurricanes affected you, we sent crews to help you restore power. And now you're bitching at us about this? Fuck right off, eh?
Yeah I remember the ice storm and we sent line men down to help bring power to northern states and people threw garbage and insults at the helpers as they were without power for extended periods of time while these people worked 15 hour days for a few weeks to stabilize the american grid. Bunch of cunts Americans are.
I am so fucking mad. When will the disrespect end? We have been nothing but the nicest neighbours. A Canadian hero died just last week fighting a wild fire in Colorado. This is insane.
Yes they do. I used to be in the Catering unit in my brigade in the Blue Mtns and was humbled when we hosted the 911 Fire Fighters for lunch and then our guys took them to the pub.
In '94 I had the day off from the fires and took my daughter to watch Elvis filling up at the local lake and watching the water level drop. 3 days later, Elvis was dropping water around my house.
Repugnants are shit and the bitching bitches should get dragged onto the fireline and handed a shovel.... BUT there are US firefighters and equipment on the front lines in Canada just as there are Canadian personnel and equipment in the US. Also, huge respect to the Canadian pilot who was lost a couple days ago.
My cousin lives in a town near NYC. Her husband is a volunteer firefighter. He has had to respond to a bunch of false alarms the last few days due to people calling in saying they smelled smoke and though there was a house fire. I guess they never watch the news.
Not really that weird honestly out of all the things the US has done in the past few decades this is not even that high on the list of weird / disgusting shit.
They adjust their MAGA ridiculous narrative on the constant… the conspiracy machine is trying to say it’s all arsonists up here… I’m sure they are going to say they’re not white arsonists. It’s honestly like talking to a crazy old relative with dementia. I’m ready to bring all democrats up here and shut the border completely. Block the power and the river water flowing to the states and let them become the desert they deserve.
Once again I'm soooo embarrassed and ashamed to be american. I'm truly sorry our country is going down hill. Please know that not all of us support and agree with what the people running our govt are doing
The responses from Americans about this have been disgusting. You deserve what Trump and his fascist goons are doing to you if this is how you're going to treat your allies.
What I've learned is that a reputation as someone reliable can take decades to build, and can crumble so easily just by accident. (Not that recent is accidental, which is why "to be fair" doesn't actually matter here. The reputation of having sent aid for decades is utterly negated by this kind of conduct and behaviour.)
It's funny and all, but fucking a goat as a joke doesn't encapsulate the work put into something that goat fucking directly offsets.
More like: You build up a reputation over years of being accurate, and one terrible day, there are errors attributed to your name that never have been before, and there's no mitigating any of it. The blame is entirely on you, and no matter how long your record of success, the magnitude of your recent mistake is such that it'll be years to rebuild that trust.
None from that federal cross agency group, anyway - the reference I posted was a cooperative team between National Parks, Bureau of Land Management, and other federal agency firefighters. Could be that state and local groups sent help.
Umm… did you read what your president just wrote? Literally increasing tariffs because of smoke. So he’ll make the Canadian economy weaker expecting that will improve forestry management?! Fuck it… let it burn.. and may as well block all the rivers going to the states while we are at it… apparently you guys forgot that part.
Yeah, fuck my orange cunt of a geriatric pedophile in chief. And he and the other powers that be love when attack each other instead of focusing on them.

Our dildo in chief doesn’t care about anybody. He complains about sending anything over here. Pisses and moans about California wildfires.

That second sentence should have been worded to use 'complains' to rhyme with planes.
