    We need to reframe this as “Trump opens dialogue about climate-driven environmental hazards, proposes punitive measures for polluting nations”

    See how fast we can get the whitehouse hyenas to shit themselves

    This is fucked up. I don’t usually jump too hard on the anti-Trump bandwagon (I don’t like the guy but I’m not usually rabid about it) but this really takes the fucking cake.

    When CA had wildfires, Canada sent us a ton of help-- a bunch of firefighting aircraft, complete with air crews and ground support. It made a big difference.

    We have firefighting aircraft. And my understanding is they are parked on the fucking ground while our friends and neighbors to the north are burning. Meanwhile our so-called leader is hurling insults and threats at our friends, while they are literally on fire.

    I love my country, but today I’m ashamed. We are supposed to be better than this. Better neighbors, better humans. It’s pathetic. It’s not us. It shouldn’t be us. We should be better than this, as a nation.

        Don’t send help next time, let us burn.

        Also, if possible, let me cross the border when it comes time for that. I’ll make cookies and invent new stuff for you! If you give me immunity from international prosecution, I’ll share all the IP I already have in my brain.

        Want bunkers made of stuff that’s four times stronger than concrete for half the price? For the same price, you could build shit that will shrug off modern bunker busters, and would probably survive a direct tactical nuke!

        Cool, but we should still be offering to help you fight your fire and we’re right to be mad our government isn’t doing so

    As a punishment for Canadian wildfires, Trump raises taxes that only Americans pay.

    Make it make sense, challenge level impossible

      Simple. These wildfires are exacerbated by climate change. American consumerism fuels climate change. By increasing taxes on Americans, he’s reducing future wildfires.

    This assfuck is all-in on AI and data centers. He doesn’t give a fuck about the air.

    He could help Canada, but he won’t. It’s all about bullshit. He needs to feed his fat fucking cow followers with endless bullshit. No gaps in the feedings. Bullshit day and night.

    I mean, careful what you wish for: legislators could troll Trump by drafting bills that use the same language to go after his agencies that have screwed up air quality, water quality, etc.

    I don’t know about you, but the “filthy” air invading my home is caused by the 70,000 acres of forest burning my own state…

    ****This is what can happen if you do not properly manage the fire burden of forests by allowing fire to consume the dead trees and ground cover. But god forbid the tourists from big cities see a section of burned forests! They tend to get all riled up.

    Dear Canada,

    I am really sorry about the senile old fuckwit criminal that some of us decided to let run wild. I tried to tell the other fuckwits that it was a terrible idea. They did not listen.

    Sincerely,

    Your Friend in the Banana Republic to the South
