Haha! Trump is going to go by his own ethics code, not the one presidents agree to in Congress. On that note I am ending my day laughing out loud and lol lol lol lol lol:
US Congress threatens to withhold aid to California for fire recovery because the state is not Republican

Donations to Trump inauguration (his pocket) vs donations to LA Fire:
They call Democrats scum, accuse them of arson in LA to "draw attention to climate change," when in truth:
'In December, 44 Republicans voted against HR 10545, the American Relief Act of 2025, which provided funds for wildfire prevention measures, including $75,000,000 for the "construction or maintenance of shaded fuel breaks in the Pacific Regions."
'"A fuel break is a strip or block of land on which the native vegetation has been permanently reduced and/or modified so that fires burning around it can be more readily and safely controlled. Fuels within fuel breaks are reduced in volume through thinning or pruning, or are changed to vegetative types which burn with a lower intensity and offer less resistance to fire control efforts."

- Mike Braun (R-IN)

Screaming at my screens over and over as the idiots say, ‘How could this happen?” Climate scientists have predicted drought and heat driven wildfires because of a heating planet since at least the 1970s when I first heard about global warming. They also predicted New Viruses for which humans have no immunity will be released from melting ice caps, which in turn are raising the water level of the entire planet so lots of floods coming too. All we needed to do was change the way we design our cities and transport people and find alternative sources of power, back in the 1970s when Jimmy Carter tried to warn us, all of which would have hurt the bottom line for Big Oil*, so instead Americans were lied to for decades by very professional and expensive PR efforts** that the planet wasn’t heating; then as anyone with eyes could see the effects of a planet heating, they convinced humans to stare at their phones instead of reading and paying attention to legitimate news; until here we are, it's pretty much too late to stop the climate devastation that's coming. All one can do now is move to higher altitudes near clean water and ride it out.
* Big Oil, aka Saudi Arabia and Russia
** PR firms can shelter intelligence operatives, just saying

As LA Burns, Trump (of course) Fans the Flames
Lies, Conspiracies, and the Destruction of National Trust
Words fail as we watch Los Angeles battle wind-whipped fires consuming entire neighborhoods. There was a time when catastrophes like this brought people together. Not so today, as Donald Trump, on the brink of assuming the presidency, seeks to divide us with lies.
As the fires rage, Trump has falsely blamed California Governor Gavin "Newscum" (his offensive term) and his supposed water policies for the disaster. The problem? The policy Trump referenced doesn’t exist. Firefighters have been hampered not by a lack of water but by infrastructure designed for house fires, not urban wildfires.

I live in South Lake Tahoe, one of the most
beautiful places on Earth, and I've found a population here of some of the meanest humans I've encountered in 76 years of living in almost
every state and several foreign countries. Interestingly the second meanest
place I've lived is Humboldt County which is almost directly due west a little North
but same … atmosphere, sort of. I don't know what causes it. People are Hostile
here. Before I moved into senior housing I got shouted at on the bus, intimidated by neighbors.
Then in senior housing I got bullied outright. So I isolated and took to social media and in
every local group I enter, I get shitty things posted at me.
Funny thing is one of the ugliest places I ever lived was Albuquerque. It's just bland, a dull beige-gray color, a few trees near the near dry Rio Grande, otherwise no greenery, flat except for 2 brown mountains lined with rows of tract homes, Lots of poverty, rundown buildings. Ugly just ugly; everywhere your eye falls in Albuquerque it lands on something ugly. Yet people in that city are the most friendly I've ever encountered. Almost too friendly. They engage you in conversation when you really want to just sit there- but then they help you onto the bus, and I was in my early sixties then- I don't know how to specify the difference, just people in Albuquerque are the most friendly and they live in one of the ugliest places and people in Tahoe are the most unfriendly and they live in one of the most beautiful places.
There's probably a psychological social science explanation. As Trumpism rises, I'm surrounded by people who voted for him who are ignorant and proud of it. Honest, I engage a neighbor in talk about something complicated in current events and they say, "I don't even want to know," an attitude I encounter here over and over and never have anywhere else. How did we get here?
