    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.
