Mega-Thread: Trump Focused Discussion

[TigTone]

Also note that a lot of the forest is federal land so in t heory trump is mad because he is not raking his own lawn.

Or just you know a lot of water because water in intense heat situations vaporizes causing steam explosions. I have seen this happen after a lightning struck a tree basically all its bark exploded off after it basically instantly flash boiled the water in it.

You can’t compare lighting strike to a fire. Way different processes in both.

Sure, but Trump said that they fall over and just explode, thus causing fires. Steam explosions don't cause fires, because steam involves the presence of a lot of moisture.

No but if the tree is on fire already when the tree goes it helps spread the fire around and give more surface area for the fire to work with. Also some trees in the west generate chemicals that make them progressively more flammable because they require fires for propagation. They don't technically explode but somebody watching it happen could easily describe it as the trees exploding.

Really good news pre-pandemic. Now we need to get back on track post-pandemic.

Ok.

But that's not what Trump said. No matter how much "what he meant was-" you provide, we have his exact words on video.

At some point, words and sentences have meanings, and we have to accept the things he says at face value.

Firestorms and conflagrations are often compared to explosions in a rhetorical manner. English is hard.

Why do you get to speak for trump? Did he give you permission?

We’re at step two of the trump sycophant here:

1. He didn’t say it
2. What he meant was
3. He just speaks off the cuff and it comes off wrong
4. He was playfully exaggerating
(Around here Trump usually says he meant exactly what he said)
5. So what if he said what he said? Benghazi! Hunter Biden! Red Herring!

Don’t you get tired of having to make up explanations for Trump being an idiot?


Your entire philosophy is based off of a conman, and it would DESTROY you to admit it.

In the meantime, we’re all laughing at you.

In the ongoing "Seriously, we need to fucking abolish ICE" saga...

ICE deported a key witness in investigation of sexual assault and harassment at El Paso detention center

The U.S. government late Monday deported a crucial witness in an ongoing investigation into allegations of sexual assault and harassment at an El Paso immigrant detention center, the witness’ lawyers said.

The 35-year-old woman has been held in the facility, which is overseen by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, for about a year and told lawyers about a “pattern and practice” of abuse there, including that guards systematically assaulted her and other detainees in areas that were not visible to security cameras.

Several guards “forcibly” kissed her, and at least one touched her intimate parts, often as she was walking back from the medical unit to her barrack, according to her complaint filed with law enforcement agencies.

Most of what trump says is just random word salad but there is often at least somethings told to him that filter into that salad. I think that is where the explody trees came from after being chased around his mind by his brain squirrels.

Trump's HHS Spokesman that went on an unhinged Facebook live rant about "sedition" and armed left-wing hit squads is considering taking medical leave.

I genuinely hope he does, because he's a skinsack of hot cray and he needs to get some fuckin therapy.

Thanks Obama I guess. Are you suggesting the pandemic is over?

No....but the vaccines will be coming soon and an end is finally in sight. Thanks Obama I guess. /s

Another case of the man who "tells it like it is" needing to be interpreted by his supporters.

"Raking" is a forest management technique commonly used in Europe to prevent conflagrations.

Really fucking funny, that your picture is from a fucking Climate change denial website.

https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/watts-up-with-that/

How fucking ironic, trying to talk about a climate change issue, uses a climate change denial website to try to defend Trump.

- - - Updated - - -

The solution is forest management...which was Trump's point. Raking is one of many techniques.

Of course they did. And couple this with the forced hysterectomies, and you now have a department covering up their war crimes and Nazi eugenics.

My favorite part is they're trying to "fact-check" Finland on their own forest management system. And it's a fuckin op-ed to boot. the ending is my fave -

His incomplete grasp of Finnish “raking” and other practices led to confusion and ridicule, but should not result in these principles and practices being rejected out of hand.

Because nobody is rejecting the principles of forest management. Quite the contrary, you've had a push from groups for more aggressive forest management for years to address these issues before this shit happened. Including, and especially, a lot of Native American groups who have generations of knowledge about fire management from their local histories that they've been trying to share.

We're mocking Trump for thinking that forests are "raked", because the "best communicator" with "the best words" needs an army of people to constantly translate for him for some reason.

[postman1782]

Trump isn't doing anything with the vaccines but rushing a vaccine that for all intents and purposes, will not have the proper trials in place to have it out by the end of the year. Most vaccines take YEARS of development and trials before they are approved.

Yeah, and I like how other people disproved his post where they are showing that the equipment he posted, was used to pick up branches and clear them after they fell a tree and delimb it for processing. And it would take tens of thousands of workers with actual rakes to take the millions of square miles that he wants to slow the forest fires from. And it will take years to clean that, something that is not possible, because we have this thing that is called Fall that makes all the leaves turn, and fall off which starts the process over again.

What happened to the hydrochloroqine that we spend 100s of millions on? What happened to that? Thanks Obama? Any chance Trump will fund Obama’s pandemic response team, since we are thanking Obama? What about the millions Trump kicked off healthcare?

Don't forget how Trump torpedoed any chance that convalescent plasma therapies had for widespread success due to sticking his nose into the whole affair and politicizing it out of desperation to save his own ass.

"forest cities" in Europe, wtf... I live in a forest? I never knew
Also "exploding trees" ...

Damnit! He found our secret! Now we have to cut all the rope ladders leading to our residences in the trees!

As long as you're not all ewoks. I swear, I will come over there and burn those forest cities myself if that's the case.
