Karine:" Fire bad! Biden good! Orange Man bad! Water good!"

How is this not about politics? People pay taxes and those taxes weren’t used to help, prevent or prepare! Their leadership failed.

the Alphabet Fire Chief is doing great work 👏👏👏

Building will not be allowed until corporations buy up most of the land

[cliffmedina]

What about what the people of north Carolina?? Have they forgot about those people ? They lost everything as well

[Giantslothlove]

You're right it's not about politics, it's about humanity and ending fossil fuels and working towards ending climate change. That's not politics, that's reality.

How much does CA pay to illegals vs fire protection?

[Hillary_duff]

Keep sending more tax money to Israel and Ukraine and demand more donations from American tax payers for domestic catastrophes

[davidlist]

The firefighters from Colorado should be the best to help because the fires in California are mostly on the hills and they deal with mountain fires.

[klynn]

Thank you Karine. You will be missed.

[Purplespretty]

Trump has no idea what he's supposed to be doing😮

[joycecarrein]

She is a DEI hire… it’s soo uncomfortable to watch here..

[JoseTrevini-kozm]

Wild fires were man made save the dramatics support the poor not the rich Sodom and GaMorah were destroyed much in the same way

So funny the map that Trump uses. The USA is about 2ce the area of Canada. Unreal. I can drive to Florida in a day (if I was stupid enough to drive across your countr). It takes me a day to get out of Ontario. 2000 k from Ottawa to Falcon lake (border of Manitoba) and 2100 k from Toronto to Florida.
