In this video, MeidasTouch contributor Tennessee Brando slams the Trump and MAGA response to wildfires in California. The moment disaster struck, Donald Trump and right-wing influencers instantly began playing politics and spreading disinformation as people lost their homes and their lives. Brando critiques Trump for putting the blame for the fires on California Governor Gavin Newsom, calling him "Gavin Newscum," and lying about Newsom being at fault for the fires because of policies that led to insufficient water for fighting the fires.
Brando points out that while it may be expected that MAGA in his home state of Tennessee may make jokes out of the California fires, there are plenty of Trump supporters in California who are currently being affected. How do they feel about Trump mocking their state and refusing to help just because they have a Democratic governor? Trump’s response is clearly based on him being threatened by Newsom and other Democratic governors who may be legitimate contenders to replace him in 2028.
Brando explains how there can never be unity in the United States while Trump is the leader of a political movement, because he only thrives on division and disunity and pushes his supporters to adopt those attitudes. He contrasts this with President Biden’s disaster response in North Carolina, where even the Republican governors acknowledged how much federal support was given. He emphasizes his disbelief at the continued support for Trump, particularly given his behavior during crises.

He's a malignant narcissist that will never have empathy, compassion, or any care for anyone but himself. His rhetoric is no longer just insanity but very dangerous! His lies cause his cult followers to take out their blind anger on those not like them and he knows this! He's put a huge target on his back and he thinks he's not only above the law but untouchable. I've forsee his days being limited on this Earth.
I personally think he's a psychopath, but that's just me.
It is possible to be both. And he is.
A malignant narcissist displays characteristics of both narcissism and psychopathy/sociopathy. Evil and dangerous.
Thay's my take.

It's not just you.
Check out Bandy X. Lee a forensic psychologist who is also on Substack for confirmation of your suspicion as to the psychopathy of Trump.
Agree!
You are certainly correct about Biden as demonstrated by his actions and inactions!
Biden has done more for the working class than Trump ever did. Infrastructure bill, the Chips act, prescription price controls, help for our veterans. Remember Trump's middle class tax cut? You know, the nickel we got that we had to pay back at the end of the year. That was temporary, set to expire this year. But the wealthy got the permanent 10 percent tax cut. Yeah, Trump's a great guy.
Trump reduced taxes for the super wealthy by cutting their tax rate by two trillion dollars during his first term as President. He swore if he got back in the White House he would cut the super wealthy's tax rate by five trillion dollars. Which means the little people will make up the difference with higher taxes and with cutting programs benefiting the less wealthy. Too bad MAGAs didn't realize that.
The list as to what Biden accomplished would circle the globe ten times. He never stopped. Just what he has done in the last ten days boggles the mind. And none of it is reported. If you are truly interested go to the White House web site. It is sad but inevitable today. No one seeks the truth just gobbles down what is force fed and then regurgitates it as if they were a qualified journalist. We are all stuck staring at our own navels.

Exactly. The dims have had control 12 of 16 years (not counting the illegal abuse on the entire Trump family) and look at the country. They own it!! Trump broke records despite of the illegal actions against him.
Broke records for what?
The most devisive President?
The most uneducated President?
The President that allowed millions of Americans to needlessly die from a virus? For lying more than any President in history? For being a racist? For being rapist? For being a felon? For being the most immature President?
People died because 45 called Covid a hoax and some believed him. Citizens refused to get vaccinated and died. I believe I read that the U.S. had the highest per capita death rate from Covid in the World. However when 45 got Covid he was in the hospital and got the special stuff for Covid. I've forgotten what it was called. Right before 45s term was up both he and Melania were vaccinated.
I believe you're thinking of Remdesivri. I heard that was one if the 8 different things he received
You are very knowledgeable and your writing is succinct. I admire your skills.
You go girl. I love it.
That right there!
I don’t know what Vicky talmbout…broke records
🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
Yeah, he broke the records for lying .
Among many other awful things .
Obama got the country prospering after the Bush administration got us into the worst recession in decades (the recession prior to that was during the Regan administration) and Biden has moved our country back to prosperity after trumps awful handling and denial of Covid. Sure things aren’t perfect but with Trump back in office you’re about to find out just how bad they can get. By the way, after trump won the election he admitted that he doesn’t think he can get the prices of groceries down so don’t hold your breath on that.
Trump is a convicted felon. He's been impeached twice. 139 of the top US military leaders, John Bolton, Mark Esper, Miles Taylor, Adm McCraven, Milley have all called Trump a National Security failure and threat. Trump sided with North Korea over South Korea and Japan over the US Navy's annual sea drills with our allies. He's been held liable for sexual assault. And let's not forget Jan 6. "Dims"? Hate to say it Vicky, but who's really dim?
On a side note, Trump's family was never Illegally abused. Just don't BREAK THE LAW.
Trump broke records, like the most indictments for a former president and the most lies told while in office, over 30,000. Achievements to be proud of, surely.
I don’t agree with a single word you’ve written, but maybe if you’re on this site long enough you’ll begin to see that you’ve been fed a lot of lies. Listen/read with an open mind, with critical thinking. It’s what we all need to do if we truly love our country.
Critical thinkers would never have voted for 45 nor would they be defending him.
Jennifer, don't waste your thoughts or feelings on a MAGA. They're beyond help. Maybe one day they'll wake up but many will not. Trying to change a MAGA will frustrate and tire you. I tried to change a MAGA's mind but nothing made a difference. She was not "an inquiring mind" and nothing I said made a difference. I learned my lesson. Like in the Bible "Don't throw your pearls before swine" which was what I felt I was doing. It's just too exhausting!.
Best Wishes, Patty
Who is "you"? The writer below or Tennessee?
He did break records for all his criminal activities
You are blind
You must lay down the crack pipe. You idiot.
Coming from the party of death and pediphilia 🙄🙄 treason and on and on
Poor Vicky. Fully indoctrinated. Hopeless. Uneducated. True maga.
Don’t forget “deplorable”
Bwahaha- I didn't forget. But Hilary beat me to that one!
Ignore this maggot. Just a putin puppet
Oh my gosh. How delusional.
You are sick, more than you know.
Just vomiting up the propaganda our billionaire media owners want the country to swallow.
I thought the same.
tRump is subhuman. I’m a lifelong resident of Los Angeles and Democrat. No other Republican President allowed his citizens to suffer because of a political bias. I’m beyond disgusted because of my very real hatred for that Orange POS.
Lynn, I hope you're safe! I am also a lifelong Angeleno! We're okay, thank goodness.
Thank you! I’m fine. I received a #2 level notice yesterday…thankfully it was cancelled. Stay safe my friend.
Thank goodness!! Yes, that happened to some people I know as well. So far we haven't had any evacuations here but I have had to go in the past. Stay safe!
I got the evacuate immediately notification that thankfully, turned out to be a mistake. Oh boy. Frightening!
Be Safe Californians.We love you, your beautiful, diverse state and your governor.
Amen, love to those where the love of my life was born (that was in Pasadena), I am glad to have had some visiting in parts of it and I loved it. Best to you all and I wish you safety and the blessings of recovery.
Hi Cindy. Good to know you’re alright. Getting one of those notices is a surreal experience, given the horrors we see on TV, and not the best was to start the New Year. Be safe!
Thank you! The air quality is better now as well in our area.
🙏❤️
I wish you safety.
How can anybody support that asshole (Trump) in the first place? I didn’t like him in 2015 and I certainly don’t like him now.
Every fricking thing that comes out of his mouth is a lie!!! I hate the Mo-F'er so bad!!
Me, too. It is so much daily work to keep the hate from consuming and harming me! It is just so hard to sit back and watch beautiful things being destroyed.
yup the great divider, can you believe Charlie Kirk is out there blaming the California fires on lesbians. These people would never pass a State police psychiatric exam if they were forced to go under arrest the cops would say they are crazy and wanna lock them up for treatment. I've seen it happen before it's very depressing what our country has come to because it's hard to have any pride when you can't even talk to people you used to think were your friends because their heads all messed up because of some cult they got into. I also don't think any foreigner from South Africa should be telling our country how to run itself I have to wonder who is the big power behind all this governmental overthrow business because somebody has got a lot of money and this was before Elonia
Putin is the one behind it. His 2 puppets do as he says. Russia has had the goal since I was in grade school of destroying America from within by dividing us. Years.
💯
At 10:38 a fire broke out less than .25 miles from me. Within 5 minutes helicopters started dropping water. Fire fighters were also on the ground. Within 2 hours the fire only burned 37 acres. Los Angeles firefighters 🚒 are the best. The wind patterns drove the devastating fires.
Well, I suppose in trump-think the Dems are to blame for the wind patterns, too.
And the rain.
Just wait until you see our Sky Lasers. We also control the weather for the entire U.S. here from CA. Wind, rain, sleet, and snow. Bet you didn't know that! Also, tornados and hurricanes are under Hollywood's control. When not making movies the actors are out messing with the weather. We messed with Melania which is who she avoids 45 and the White House. We here in CA are all powerful.
Shhhh...you aren't supposed to tell.
You know it!
Let's not to forget those who have rushed to help as well. Firefighter are the best
Like Canada! Yay!
And Mexico 🇲🇽
and I believe that Australia is coming again.
Thank you. i"m all the way on the other coast but I have no doubt in my mind or heart that CAL_Fire is doing everything they possibly can to protect lives and property. Long ago when I took EMT/Paramedic training, some of it was done at a fire station so I got used to being around a bunch of firefighters. (I also have a cousin who's one). They are a tribe unto themselves; they were great teachers for us, and I have nothing but love and respect for them. They taught me what an honorable thing it is to be a First Responder, no matter what kind. Politicizing any kind of disaster like this is an insult to people who work their ass off and risk their own lives to care for others. Don't do it within my hearing, you might need a medic yourself when I'm done with ya.
Thank goodness you are safe. The fire Dept are freaking heroes. 🚒💙🇺🇸
They are heroes 💪
I am so glad to see someone from tennessee.That has some brains
Have a brother that loves TN but he is as dumb as Trump
Indoctrinated. I’m so sorry. I think the country may split. Again. We learn nothing from our history.
We may know our history, but MAGA doesn't.
Tennessee Brando is awesome 👏
I've met some great folks from TN, believe me, they have some brains over there lol!
A friend from Chicago moved there and loves it! Hopefully, the people moving there will bring some sense. Hated to see her leave MAGA MO. We need help here 😢
My grandfather was from TN. He was real mean according to his children. Not sure about the brains as I was a young child when he died. I never really knew him since we lived in a different State.
He did this during his last term too. Withholding federal funds for states with democratic governors. The best he could ever be is a president for the Republican portion of the country, not that they should be happy about that.
I'm a lifelong Californian and I'm beginning to think secession isn't a bad idea after all.
I'm in negotiations with Quebec to "absorb" Maine.
It's not going well. 😐
Good luck!!! Sounds great to me.
I'm just mentally picturing a conversation and comparing the accents and trying not to pee my britches LMAO!
Like my grandfather my dad had a TN accent even though he was born in AR. My grandfather moved to AR cause he was a bigamist. He didn't have to pay alimony or child support that way. His daughter from the first marriage didn't track her father down in KS until the 1940s. My mom was from MO and I didn't speak properly for a CA child. The kids at school made fun of my speech. I spent the rest of my life trying to improve the way I spoke. Funny thing was people then thought I was from New York.
Well here's a kicker - I'm from NY originally, and moved to Maine. No one knows where the hell I'm from now....
A coworker from NY told me I could drive a taxi in Manhattan. Being born in CA and living here all my life I took it as a compliment. I liked NY and Manhattan. Great energy with lots to see and do. However, very expensive to live there. I know that Maine is very beautiful so congrats on living there!
I wish we could at least transfer federal taxes to state taxes so we’re supporting our people.
I’ve been in CA 65 years and I feel the same way!
Me too. Maybe Canada would take us.
I wish Canada would take us!
Actually, now that I think about it, maybe it isn't legal. We pay taxes. We're entitled to federal relief money.
The taxes from CA and the upper East Coast support the Red States. Without us the Red States would fall apart.
You're right. That would be interesting to see. Of course since we'd be a different country, they couldn't threaten us in the same ways they do now. Not that people who want to annex Canada would let us go in the first place. The thought of Trump being in Lincoln's position makes my head hurt.
Trump pulled the same bs (withholding PPE etc.) with Michigan during Covid. We were Democrat and had a Female Governor!!! Trump hated that! Michigan was also hit hard early with Covid because of the auto industry is international. Lots of travel between Detroit and China.
Detroit is a black city and we all know that Trump is a white supremacist - so we had a difficult time getting help from the Trump administration during Covid.
The sexist pos also didn’t say anything after the FBI had to stop the kidnap threat against her. Didn’t give a crap. Trump still hates Detroit.
He said if he lost every place would be like Detroit. Good - Canada is across the Bridge.We have plenty of water. The infrastructure is being rebuilt. Our ultra rich DONATE their money to help others.
It's amazing that's even legal.
Legal? When has that ever stopped him? He was just convicted of 34 that's THIRTY-FOUR FELONIES - and got NO punishment at all. None.
I"m going to bed now...
This is true. However, I believe that the courts are one of our best resources. (Not the Supreme Court, of course.)
What a baby. I don't understand how anyone can like and certainly not support a grown man who acts like a two-year-old. It doesn't say much for his voters.
Hey, if your biggest concern is the price of eggs, of course, you are going to believe the man who tells (lies) in the campaign that he can lower food prices. One Maga person was on a call in show and her comment sums it up, "We don't want a moral leader. We want someone who can lower prices." Unfortunately, soon after the election donOld admitted that it is hard to lower food prices.
Food prices will skyrocket when undocumented are no longer here as Trump shows them the door. Between tariffs and no one working in agriculture the simple supply and demand will take effect quickly. Intelligent people know this.
Not to mention the crops that are left in the fields to rot; like what happened to the strawberries & green beans a number of years ago.
-
I remember watching nightly news with a story about all the watermelons left to rot in the fields cuz the immigrants were deported during the Bush 43 regime. Ranch owner couldn’t find any ‘mericans to do the back breaking work. Agriculture prices went thru the roof….
Such stupid, gullible people!!
I think this was at the beginning of the covid crisis after Bush 43. This was during trump's first term.
I'm sure when the bird flu runs its course egg prices will drop. Until then the prices will be high.
Those cults followers and believer, don't understand that government has no control over food and gas prices. They use their smartphone for every thing. Do a search on Google about food and gas prices
They got what they voted for. Unfortunately, they’re dragging us down with them
It says everything about his voters
The dumbing down of America. Sickening.
His voters don't appear to be critical thinkers and many are poorly educated. Nor do they appear to do any research on the candidates or political issues. For example, many of 45s voters didn't know the consumer pays the cost of tariffs. They didn't know that tariffs would drive the cost of food, clothing, furniture, and gasoline up. Tariffs on China, Canada and Mexico will cause inflation to increase here in the U.S.
I am a native Californian who grew up and now I am retired in Tennessee. I am with you Brando. Not all the Tennesseans are crazy Maga. East TN has a streak of Blue... Tears for CA. Trump is a fucking idiot!
Already expected Trump to do nothing or even try to obstruct relief efforts and then pin the blame on others. He wants to make as big a mess as he can possibly get and then work to obstruct cleanup efforts unless he can find a way to steal the credit for things he didn’t do. It’s unreal how so many people are afraid of offending a senile toddler instead of putting their feet down. Once you force Trump to have to do actual work, that’s when he will go into total panic and coward mode and run away from everything
and to think that if mcconnell and other associated early enablers had done their "checks and balances" jobs and stood UP to this garden-variety schoolyard BULLY in the beginning, we would not be in the pickle we're in today. It's sickening.
MM include the Supreme Court and Merrick Garland in checking the 🍊 turd
McConnell and the other GOP politicians knew what 45 was like back in 2015. They viewed him as a useful idiot and even said so. If he could sign his name the GOP were happy campers. Every time reasonable people thought their silver bullet had put an end to 45 one of the GOP would go to Mar-A-Largo and encourage him to come back to DC. I think we forgot the the bit about a stake through his heart.
He should be out there raking up pine needles.
Instead of raking up pine needles, trump should be out building houses for people who need them. If he does that then he'll really be able to call himself a builder. He'll find out that it's hard, honest, work.
He probable doesn't know what a rake is. You've probably given him too much credit.
His physical health and dementia appear to be getting rapidly worse. Don't know how long he'll be around. He could pop off any day now.
I have never despised anyone as much as I do this narcissistic asshole!!!!!
I know right? Me too!!
Donald tRump is such a poor excuse for a human being there are not enough words in the English language to describe this malignancy.
Suddenly he’s pro-California and worried about their wildfires? Yeah, right!
He called Gavin Newsom Gavin New scum? What a pathetic juvenile piece of sh!t. California has wildfires every year just like the Southeast has hurricanes, and the Midwest has tornadoes. These people are insane...destructively insane. They will ruin this country.
Agreed! I'm also in CA and been here all my life.
You’ll never convince me that Trump won the election. America is not that stupid.
I'm with you...something is not right. There is a Youtube podcast showing how the voting results look tampered. Who votes R for Pres., then D down the rest of the ballot? Then there are "Bullet Ballots" Only voting for the Pres. Why are we being so silent? This inauguration needs to be stopped! I've already wriiten my Reps.
Somewhere it was written that in Detroit, MI twice as many people voted than lived in Detroit. Interesting...
I've written both Biden and Harris a month ago on your point. It doesn't look promising for them to stop the inauguration. Never heard back of course. Best Wishes, patty
Yeah…they are…talk to them. Prez Musk knows it. He wants people from India to work here because we ARE obviously stupid.
It was stolen. I don't know what will happen on 1/20/2025. It's a real nail-biter.
I’m not in LA, but I’m in the San Francisco Bay Area, which is also getting shat upon for real or imagined maladies. And when an earthquake happens and/or fires occur, we will get nothing and that just kills me in addition to the sorrow I feel for the people of LA affected by the fires.
I am in CO living in an area tgat will eventually face wilfires because I strongly believe his cult is the culprit in setting these fires and they will do it in Colorado too. I am looking into moving to Portugal. I’m in a position where I could do that. I just have to research it.
This 34 convicted FELON insurrectionist traitor should be driven from the shores of America and made to stand trial in Panama, Denmark, Mexico, Canada, etc.
Are we really gonna have 4 friggin years of Trump doing and saying vile and stupid things? Maybe I'll move to Namibia, which I would think is pretty much off the grid, or at least the news grid.
I FEEL THE SAME T B U R SO RIGHT ABOUT TRUMP. WHAT A SILLY SOB HES OUT OF HIS MIND. HE IS DIVIDING AMERICA MORE AND MORE. AND THIS MESSAGE IS FOR JOE AND DR. JILL AND HUNTER DO NOT ATTEND THE CEREMONY OF SHITTY PANTS TRUMP. HE PRZ JOE HE WASN'T THERE 4 YOURS. SO PISS ON HIM TRUMP. B STRONG FOR ALL THE BROTHERS AND SISTERS OF THE MEIDAS MIGHTY!!!
Right on. Stop pretending this is "the US as usual." It is not. It is nowhere near usual. Stop the ridiculous decorum in the middle of a backdraft fire!
Yup, the right wing cretins are reality and fact challenged. I have lived in California and have been through evacuations and wildfires (and Santa Ana wind events). I have never seen hurricane-like winds (without any moisture) like these in the past few days. Our urban communities were decimated, not the forests! California just happens to be surrounded by mountains with communities built up into the foothills and we have unique brush and trees that make excellent fire starters (palm trees being a major culprit). Lies being spread on Faux news, and some local media, and right wing politicians, are disgraceful and damaging. All they care about is disparaging LA mayor Karen Bass, and other people who are POC or surprise! Female! And of course the favorite person to attack-Gov Newsom. I am sick of their nonsense and hypocrisy without pushback on the useless MSM. In the meantime I have been without power for two days where I live ( and recently had to evacuate in September for over two weeks due to wildfires close to my area) and feeling very worried about our communities facing this crisis. The climate change crisis is in our face but the administration coming in soon will only exacerbate the situation and gaslight the gullible lemmings who swallow the lies and voted for humanity’s accelerated decline.
Hi, I saw that also. And the accusations about the fire hydrants running out of water were somehow Bass’s fault personally as implied by a useless local news commentator (obviously to rile up the anxious public) and that the mayor failed the city by going to Ghana “knowingly “ during a high winds forecast . As if there is no such thing as laptops and cell phone communication. Knowing the facts or doing a little research would be too much to ask of those high paid so called “news” shills before they blurt out their BS.
Yeah ! About That !!? Politico Got It Real Wrong !!? Saying Bass Cut The Fire Department By 14 Or 17 Million Dollars !!? When In FACT The Fire Departments Contract Was Up For Negotiations !!? And Wanted To Do That Separate !! From The Fire Departments Budget !!? Which Was Actually Increased By 50 Million !!?
I'm in CA and it's heartbreaking. I can't bear to look at 45 or listen to him speak. Ugg and yuck.
I will never understand why people would vote for this awful man and now the rest of us are stuck with him.
He is consistently obnoxious. For him, nothing new. His fans love a$$holes.
Tennessee Brando-- thank you for saying what so many of us are thinking. They did vote for a divider, not a uniter...
What I’ve been posting every since November 6, 2024
God
Help
us
All
Unfortunately, god is as bad or worse than Trump and has proven it over the centuries. Especially awful is the god of the “holy” books, like the bible, Koran, etc. Filled with horrific stuff, supporting slavery, misogony, war, torture, vengeance, etc.
Jesus was no better, filled with anger and condemning people to hell and everlasting punishment when they don’t agree with him.
And the god of nature—earthquakes, famines, floods, fires, animals mutilating other animals, etc. So, I’m afraid it’s up to us.
I left my church and gave up religion. Now I'm a spiritualist focusing on the light and love. Yes I do believe in God and an afterlife. I'm calmer now.
It is up to us. I certainly won’t argue with you on that point. The people who say that they are just going to “hope for the best” or “pray about it “ or whatever drive me completely bonkers. The god that you’re talking about, is, to my mind, the god of idolators. God isn’t something that you believe in, rather something to be “known” and trying to talk about it is a real waste of time. I’ve been stumbling around for at least fifty years trying to figure out what is real and not making much progress so I can hardly claim to be an authority on the subject of God.
Your comments are insightful. I think most of us like certainty and black and white, but life is not that way. It’s largely about living with unknowns and questions, I believe.
He is the most hateful, evil, misogynistic, bigoted, disgusting individual ever. He couldn’t tell the truth if his life depended on it.
I know why Maga is so against the gay, lesbian, trans and other community and people that are different the. Reason is they do not know how to handle them. They don't know how to accept they don't have a heart. People are who they are, they can't help the way. They were born, we are all human beings. We all should be getting along. We are all in this rat. Race together, stop the hate and show some love.!
The reason is because some of the GOP and MAGAs are gay and it's a coverup to be antigay, lesbian, or trans.
We can now address trump as Felon Trump instead of president! Let's all do this.
I've Never Address This Man As president !! Insurrectionists , High Crimes & Misterminors , Treason , Self Enrichment Of A Sitting President , Rapist , Violater of The US Constitution , Murderer , Blood On His Hands , ..!!! BUT Never President ! That's Reserved For Only Honorable People !!?
I'm choosing forever felon 45/47
Im disgusted too. So...Now. What are we going to DO about it?
Trump doesn't even know because he's too stupid that fire hard differences are not meant to sustain high loads continuously. There's only ample pressure and pumps to either fill the fire or supply water for a specific fire but not sit there and run it continuously. It has nothing to do with the Gov. or how much water he went in put in a reservoir. Trump is just a great divider. The truth of the matter is this probably the national house codes are going to have to be changed for the whole country because we are stacking house is too close to each other without the infrastructure to properly fight such fires and weather events. Cities are going to have to rethink their strategies they're probably going to have to build underground shelters on high ground or above ground and cover them with dirt so they can withstand weather events they're probably going to have to put their own oxygen supplies in them so they can withstand fire events and there needs to be so many centers per so much population per specific areas our neighborhood. That's nobody's fault but the real problem is none of the Republicans even wanted to admit climate change exist now Trump has already put a moratorium on windmills when he comes in office he just drove a major windmill stock right into the ground all because he hates windmills because Scotland built them in front of because the people of Scotland voted for it. All these billionaire pieces of garbage just seemed to think they own the world but yet they don't want to contribute any tax to any infrastructure or anything to make anything any better but they have plenty of time to sit there and whine like a little men children
They'll Be Crying Like Little Bitch's !! When They Cause The Collapse Of Capitalism !! On A Global Scale !!!
Most of us have learned from run number one, he told us to rake the forest floor. Paradise was lost, lives lost ,lives ruined and he couldn't even get the name correct. Now what I see , with the so calif fires is well, what about north Carolina and Georgia. They keep insisting feema and Biden we're not there and forever felon was there stirring the pot and lying. This is what he does. Dear red states, I'll remind you, we in California still have displaced and homeless from the paradise and caldor fires. We now have a lot more as of 1/6/25. Your cracker savior and side kick elon aren't gonna save you!
Be careful or he'll start throwing rolls of paper towels at you.
Donald Trump lies. Be truthful and show him real good will 👍
Nice idea but no one has ever been able to change him and he's been the same all of his life. His conservative Scottish mother was embarrassed by his treatment of women. She grew under a strict Calvinistic religion in Scotland so she wasn't pleased with Donald. No wonder she spent time in a mental ward. However, his father was grooming an attack dog and Donald always wanted to please dear old dad.
I did not know that.. thank you.
It goes on to show that we need.. well.. better parents?
..and better religions actually aligned with what's important - education grounded in real truths instead of fairy tales (IMHO)...
A movement geared towards our collective future, not anchored by past ideas..
Take care 🖐️
Appreciate you, Brando. I feel so rattled and unsettled by all the *waves hands around wildly*. Like it’s become mentally too hard for me. Don’t want to check out and miss something I *need* to know, but at the same time I can feel all this devouring me. I know this is exactly what the fascists want, but … it’s all too much. It’s just too damn much and no one in government seems to be leading the opposition.
In order for MAGA to have any empathy for the people of these horrible California and devastating wildfires, they would need to have compassion and class. They have a lot of class, and it's all low!
It’s pathetic that he gets away with passing misinformation like he does! Then there are the people taking him seriously with no critical thinking, that perpetuate his lies and cruelty!
All I expect from the orange criminal is nonsense & lies. Yes we will get yet another 4 years of this.
💙💙💙
💙💙
Tennessee Brando, I am with you all the way! You're always bringing the "correct" receipts!!
Maybe California, Oregon, and Washington could become the 11th province of Canada. I am practicing "Oh Canada," here in Seattle.
So fu**ing tired of tRumps bullshit. Keep the pressure on him Tennessee, please.
Donald Trump needs to be Sued more now for these slanderous lies
I’m disgusted that Trump is going to be sworn in!!!! I have totally lost faith in the Democratic party and our judicial system.
I’m watching Michael Cohen being interviewed on MSNBC. Trump should not be allowed to put people into a cabinet!! Of course he will probably be supported as he is in everything!!!! We are now living in a lawless, ridiculous society!!!!
No one on this comment section is happy either.
If our leaders are smart they will deny everyone Trump picks for his administration. And I mean each and every time he tries to add someone.
Don't underestimate Trump! He wants to be a Putinl
Putin will be in charge of the United States of Russia using Dtrump/ Putins the one that wanted greenland- it’s time for DT to pay up from his Russian money laundering days since the 80s to whatever Putin has on him, DT inherited 300 million + from his nazi father, lost it all, bankrupted 3 casinos washing Russian money & 3 more - Russias economy is hemorrhaging right now, there military is desperate, aligns with dictator Kim jun ugh/ North Korea & managed to divide the US without shooting a bullet interferring in our elections. Our economy ripple effects around the world with trade & now NATO country’s are aligning without the US while oligarchs used us to plot a new world order …..and Ukraine will never give in
Love your content! I live in Knoxville and am glad to have a like minded soul here in Tennessee with me! Keep it coming!
For these folks DISASTER=OPPORTUNITY. Not suffering, not terror, not hardship. Not a need for care and support and reassurance. Not science to understand the foundation of various disasters so we might prevent more. Simply a way to generate more hatred and obfuscation.
It is time for evangelical preachers and their followers to search their souls and become true Christians and call him out!
True Christians? LIke the angry Jesus, who spoke of hell more than any other person in the bible? More than 70 times, some scholars claim. Those who disagreed with him or failed to worship him—burn in hell forever.
Yeah, a few nice things like Sermon on Mount, etc. But read the bible carefully, and it will scare the hell out of you. He clearly said, “no one comes to the father but by me.” What about Jews? Muslims? Unbelievers?
I agree with everything you said. I live in California and appreciate your compassion. The president elect is a disgrace of a leader.
Trump will continue his divisive bullshit. He cares about trump and his $$$
Now that Meta took down their fact checking system and Zuckerberg is kissing the ring all bets, guard rails are off! It turns my stomach to think that we can not bring the receipts against DonOld and his sycophants! I still won't stop fighting this little teeny, tiny f-ing asshat! DO NOT GIVE UP, KEEP FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT!
Not one word of empathy or support for the thousands of AMERICANS suffering through this cataclysmic tragedy. Ask any psychiatrist what this tells us about Orange Putin.
Trump's mental illness has really surfaced this past week. From watching him at Jimmy Carter's funeral service to his responses to these devastating fires I am feeling very depressed. We need as many posts from sane people like you more than ever.
Trump is a narcissistic monster who cares about nothing other than the money in his pocket and how many people he can convince to play cult to him. It's disgusting and I continue to be utter disbelief of the fact that he's been voted into presidency again.
What bothers e is legacy, corporate media let trump ramble on incoherently without just saying, sir, that is a lie. If the media doesn't stop him from lying without repercussions just gives trump more reason to lie, lie, lie!
JD Vance is getting reacquainted with his sofa these past few weeks.
Brando, people have the memory of a tik tok video, and that is why they forgot how bad trump was.
I look forward to trump and grotesque repubs blaming DeSantis and southern GOP govs for hurricanes. And then when fires start in Idaho and Montana will trump bash those govs? Mo way.
As far as trump voters, stupid is as stupid does.
A malignant narcissist sociopath will NEVER NEVER EVER change…does everyone understand that?? Do not expect this POS to change! NOTHING you can say or do will EVER change him! He’s mentally ill, he’s extremely dangerous & possess a huge threat to this country, the people, to the world & to the environment! And because the judges, courts & SCOTUS have let this POS off for EVERY SINGLE malfeasance that he has committed; he’ll NEVER change, only get worse. And why the Republicans & Democrats did not enact the 14th Amendment Section 3 against him is beyond me! Guess neither party cares what happens to the American ppl or to this country or to the world! Had he tried this crap in any other country…he’d either in jail or 6 ft under! But instead, what do we, the People do? We elevate him to the Oval Office! I have ZERO confidence in any of our elected officials, ZERO confidence in SCOTUS & definitely ZERO confidence in people to vote using critical thinking skills!
He's not even about politics. He's going to dismantle the government and sell the US to the highest bidder.
Trump is an evil person. I don't know American are stupid and idiot vote for him he only look after himself not for all American peoples.
You're right, he is just "flexing and playing politics.'' I hope that people can work together to get around Trump and his oligarchs whose aim is to obstruct the normal functioning of government and to find new and exciting ways to line their own pockets.
California and New York are the 2 biggest contributors to the federal government and because they are blue states, he is just nasty with them. Gavin Newsom has gotten to Trump in the past but he’s to busy right now trying to save as much as he could. God bless all the first responders and all those affected by these wild fires.
I share your disgust and embarrassment. I have no words....
President-elect Donald Trump recently criticized California Governor Gavin Newsom, alleging that Newsom's refusal to sign a "water restoration declaration" contributed to the severity of the January 2025 Los Angeles wildfires. Trump claimed that this declaration would have redirected water from Northern California to the south, aiding in firefighting efforts.
Governor Newsom's office responded, stating that no such "water restoration declaration" exists, labeling Trump's assertion as "pure fiction."
This exchange is part of a longstanding debate between Trump and Newsom over California's water management policies. Trump has previously advocated for diverting water from Northern California to support Central Valley agriculture and Southern California urban areas, often criticizing environmental protections for species like the delta smelt, which he views as obstacles to water redistribution.
However, experts indicate that the recent wildfires were primarily driven by factors such as severe drought conditions, strong winds, and climate change, rather than water distribution policies. The lack of water in some Los Angeles fire hydrants during the fires was attributed to overwhelming demand and infrastructure challenges, not the unavailability of water from Northern California.
In summary, while Trump attributes the intensity of the California wildfires to Governor Newsom's alleged refusal to sign a non-existent "water restoration declaration," state officials and experts refute this claim, pointing to other environmental and infrastructural factors as the primary causes of the fires.
No president in our history has threatened to or actually withheld disaster relief because of political differences. This person is a cancer on our country. The only way we will begin to heal is when he is DEAD. Perhaps then the more reasonable republicans will join us in the governing of this nation. Remember how it used to be? Compromise was the name of the game neither party won every fight. But first we have to overturn Citizens United. Dark money is destroying our democracy.
Trump has a stone where his heart should be.
Classic response to intimidation Is Namecalling 🤬🤔
And that's all he knows. Trump's response to anyone with opposition or criticism. Like us Americans who have had rnough.
💙🇺🇸💙
You see, when tragedy strikes in this country, the people that come together are the ones that have compassion, brains, knowledge, and they probably are all democrats, stay safe out there in california.Believe meThere's a lot of people that are with you guys.
"You are so right! He is just the worst example of a human being.
Write your senators and reps regardless of party: demand they speak loudly, use all their power to stop the RFK, jr. cabinet confirmation. Here's a comment to use, edit, write your own:
"Please use all your pwer and experience to speak out loudly against the RFK, jr. cabinet confirmation. -- RFK, jr. is more than unfit, he could become the architect of another epidemic inn the US. He does not believe in germs, does not believe HIV causes AID, he does not believe in science. He lies You must stop him! we have seen in the past what polio,, AIDS, measles, mumps, chicken pox, etc., can do."
THanks Tennesee Brando for your podcast. We have to direct our anger; we must call Trump out as your are -- keep it local, keep it personal, keep it to your family.
Ask your Republican reps/senators what they are doing for you? Are they going to vote to repeal Obamacare, are they going to vote against specicif infrastructure project next door to you. Keep asking them -- call and write.
Ask specific questions!
THanks Meidas
Nice work TB thanks. Hopefully your post will make some borderline magas to see & spread the light.
How did the Constitution get shredded to the point that this scum was able to run? He has nothing good for us. He has said he won't help Blue states, not to mention the cuts & theft he plans from the people. He should be arrested. Just fucking take him. Who would stop us? The magats? BFD. We can't let fear stop us. I doubt there will be another actual election. He should become the man in the iron mask.
Love to hear a MAGA moron try to debate any of these points.
All they'll do is scream obscenities.
I love your reporting. Factual, to the point and no BS. Sorry it took me so long to get here. But I’m here to stay.
Don the Con trump, is ONLY out for himself.
D or R, don't matter, he will let you die.
Now we have to get busy, MID TERMS are coming up fast.
TB, I must share your naievete, because it makes no sense to me either. I live on the other coast but my heart goes out to the people of CA, my dear departed husband was born there and has some family left there (they're OK right now but still too close for my comfort). For an unpunished felon to politicize the horror that's going on in CA is totally sick and disgusting. May god bless the people in CA and positive vibes and energy to them from NC.
I am with you on not understanding how people could “stay home” and not vote for Kamala….
I have been an election official most of my life and non-voters ALWAYS confuse me.
I think your comment on “toxic relationships” makes sense with the Republican voters. They seem to have a blind spot when it comes to MAGA.
You are doing your part by speaking up and I intend to oppose MAGA every step of the way!
Thx for being a courageous, sane person in a red state
I'm so sick of the hate and lying. He isn't in office yet. These next few years are going to be hell.
Joe Biden is still our President and has taken action to help those effected by the Socal fires. We don't get Trump till the afternoon of January 20th. God help us.
Why is anyone surprised by the FELON's statements? His statements are totally in keeping with past statements and actions--each time there's another disaster the comments are identical. Doesn't matter if it's in a blue state (CA) or red state (N. Carolina). This is who he is. He is NOT going to change, EVER. The right-wing controlled social media platform says black is white and white is black just as the FELON, adjudicated today immediately said "I'm innocent."
There is literally nothing about the orange sewer clown that doesn't disgust me. I have never felt that way about another human being in my 71 years.
SS tRUMP & his flip-flopping flounders are all about fraud, lies, hate, discord, deflection, discrimination, $$$ for themself, etc. being Narcissistic with delusions of grandeur. tRUMP is #1 on the top 15 Narcissists & Elon is #2.
Disgusted right along with you, Sir. Surprised? Nope.
He's truly sick and evil. Shave that orange Riff-Raff combover and there it is...666!
i'd like to see these lesbians that Charlie Kirk blames for the fire, they must be pretty damn hot 🔥🤣🤣 their asses must've set the field on fire lol
I think MAGA should all be putting in a rubber room to see if they can see which one out crazies the other
It’s something else that these people like him. They’re as misguided as he is.
God, I just wish he would STFU! my head spins with all if this absurd crap! 😡
I live a half hour from these devastating fires in very deep blue Ventura County, CA. Last fall my city was hit by a fire that left 80+ homes burned to the ground. I found out during the election that I was surrounded by MAGA by the flags they flew. Some of them still have flags out. I will NEVER understand the stupidity of these people!
Keep up your great reporting, Trump is only just getting started, God help the USA
I'm a new follower of you. I love the way you combine truth with being a straight shooter.
Trump only puts Putin and himself first.
None of Trump's lies ever help anyone.
💙💙 I’m right there with ya! Please explain how the Tennessee residents keep voting for that piece of shit Marsha Marsha Marsha Blackburn!?
What a piece of shit
I love you Brando!
💙💙💙💙💙
💙
It's worse than disgust that I feel for that monster. What he's done to the world is worse than if he did what he said he could get away with on 5th Ave if he shot someone.
You are absolutely right. It's a crying shame that the world now has to put up with this creep for 4 more years!
Brando, I’ve been following this guy since I was a kid and he worked for his Daddy in Queens, NY. He and Daddy have always looked down of those that can’t do something to increase the Trump family wealth. We’ve been living in the south now for over 40 years and no matter how many times I told friends and neighbors about him, they just didn’t believe me. People are mesmerized by his behavior, it’s like a bad side show that traps the mind. He gives them all permission to hate.
💙💙💙
It is so sad that you even have to post this. However, how could we ever expect any other behavior from that Orange Goon? I actually cried the first time I saw videos of the fires and watched both gallantry and despair. My heart and soul is with California along with North Carolina (I cried then, too). I’m with you 1000%. Please keep doing your good work.
💙
"Newscum"? Talk about childish and unPresidential. It's going to be a long and Internationally embarrassing 4 years. Love you Tennessee, keep speaking the truth.
"Newscum"? Childish, unpresidential. Still spreading lies that his supporters will eat up. It's going to be an Internationally embarrassing 4 years. Love you Tennessee, keep spreading the truth.
He's not your leader.... he couldn't lead a cockroach across the road. Give me a break. He'd have to have a brain, and he don't! How did anyone vote for this village idiot.
???
Yep Gov Newsom can make it burn, can make it rain, can make it flood and never mind about God having any part in it. Geeeez Donald Drump is a total nut.
💙 💙 💙
I followed 45's career from his 20s for 40 plus years simply by reading the SF Chronicle. Also, studied his early attorney Roy Cohn. He was a real pisser. Mean and nasty. If you're not familiar with the Julius and Ethel Rosenberg spy case it is enlightening regarding Roy Cohn. Also, the HBO series "Angels in America" had Al Pachino playing Roy Cohn in the 6 hour Series. If you haven't seen it it's worth watching. I'm not sure if it's on Amazon Prime Video. Al did his usual great acting job. Roy Cohn was a truly evil, mean, and cruel man. 45 learned his attack skills from Roy. I could go on and on but don't want to bore you. I'm sending you love and light to lighten your spirit. Best Wishes, Patty
LIAR, Criminal, Traitor, loser, Degenerate trump should be in Prison!
tRump will politize everything and attack everyone. However, he is never held accountable for his BS, name calling, insults, adjuticated sexual assault, and especially his 34 felony convictions.
As president of the United States..it should be required that a candidate have a degree, serve time in political office (representative/congress/mayor). This needs to change..or else the office of the president will be a recking ball..look at what we have now??
100%
Thank you Brando! Shout out from Northern CA 💙 All the love to Ben & Brett Meiselas who’ve both evacuated their homes in LA & everyone affected by the fires. Always appreciate and enjoy your thoughts & perspective!
The ongoing fires consuming huge portions of the Los Angeles area are mind-numbingly tragic and sad. I live in Spokane, WA now, but having lived in the area for a time years ago I recall that so many of those lost neighborhoods were unique and picturesque beyond words. Beauty like that develops over many generations and it is doubtful that it will every be recaptured by some kind of large scale replacement of these stately old homes with hundreds of cookie-cutter boxes. So without any doubt we have lost something as a nation that is irreplaceable.
I agree with all you say. I have watched with horror at what is happening in California, and don’t understand the Americans who taunt their residents and have zero compassion. Trump hates this country, he loves only himself. I love your straight-on, shoot from the hip style. As a native Tennessean who will be moving back there to retire, I will be happy to call you neighbor! Thank you!
I have a co-worker that didn't vote for Kamala because he thinks SHE would start WWIII when she was on her period...
Apparently 🍊💩 is always on the rag.
Please remember that the Electoral College removes all the Democrat Blue votes for President in a GOP Red state. I live in VT the Bluest state in the Union. Why bother voting for President since 65-70% of voters are already holding the fort for me? For 3 Electoral Votes no candidate is really spending time worrying. 5-7 states decide who will be President in all recent elections. Gore won the popular vote 2000 lost the White House. Hilary Clinton won the popular vote by nearly 3 M votes and lost the White House. As long as the country is so divided, faith in the American voter has to be centered on 5-10 states. Forget how sane the rest of the voters are. WE take a back seat to money, attention, media and social media, pollsters, dirty tricks, voter suppression, gerrymandering of large states. I did have faith in US voters in our 50 states but do not want to rely on sanity of 5-7 states with narrow margins of popular votes for those states ALONE. 2016-Trump won Electoral Votes based on a total of less than 100,000 votes spread over 4-5 states. 100K decided who was President. I don't know the margin this time but I'm sure it was less than 500K spread over 5-6 states who decided Trump should be in WH again. Democracy fails voters for President. Majority doesn't always win representation!
This Is My First ! View Of You're Vid's ! When Talk About Trump !? You Always Have To Put Him In Context !! He's A Bag Of Rocks !! He Knows Nothing About Anything !! He Doesn't Play Politics ! Because He Knows Nothing Of Politics !!? Politicians Don't Threaten Allies !? Politicians Don't Threaten Neighbor Countries To The North And South !! ? OH ! 😮 The Last Time He Was In Office !! He Did Withhold Federal Funds For Fire's In California !!? He Said We Should Have Raked - Up Our Forest !!???? This Man Knows Nothing But How To Live Off Borrowed Money !!? And Selling The Trump ! Brand !! When People Wanted To See His Tax Returns !!? All I Wanted To See Was His High school Transcripts !! And College Transcripts !!...??? Because This Boy Took The Short Bus To School !!!!...??? And Mommy And Daddy Paid For His Diploma's !!!????
Crazy
California agrees with Brando. Our prayers are with all of LA. Be strong for our country no matter what the devil is throwing at us
Fuck trump
He's a garbage human
So are his followers
FUCK trump
He is a garage human
And his followers are garbage
I love your passion, Brando!
Get used to it. It's going to be like this for the next four years at least.

You’re SO right.
Unbelievable

We need to investigate JD. I don't want him as no. 48.
Good point about the Republicans in California
Brando you are the man it don’t matter how you deliver your message it’s just that you have the message. I can’t even remotely understand why if you vote for the leopards eat faces party you don’t get the fact that your face may get eaten.
Love your posts
💙💙💙💙
He’s an idiot
PLEASE HELP REP SWALWELL🙏
The American people vs 45
I am so encouraged by your honesty and forthrightness about the dangers we are facing. We cannot give up. I am 80 and on a low fixed income so I cannot become a paid member but I will encourage my friends to do so. I am helping a friend finish college in Argentina and I am praying to make it through his last year. I have made it through hard times before and you and I will succeed. Keep up fighting for democracy! You are needed like never before.

There are many comments here relevant to the psychopathy of Trump. I offer you check out the Substack newsletter written by Bandy X. Lee who is a Forensic Psychologist. She offers information as well as validation of our experience and guidance.
https://substack.com/@bandyxlee?r=rfr9f&utm_campaign=profile&utm_medium=profile-page
You nailed it. Amazingly direct and refreshing. I can hear your pain, and your humility is noted in the way you clarify you are just someone who is trying to make sense of it all yourself. I too am so absolutely amazed with the amnesia when it comes to Trump. It is not just those who sat home and would not vote for Trump. It is also those who voted for Trump despite him causing them personal harm.
You succinctly point to the disparity between 2020 and 2024. And I'm so glad you mention people choosing to sit it out and not vote at all because they don't like something like "Kamala's laugh." I don't think any of that applied. She is a woman. This country is backward to the point where a woman will never stand a chance of being given the office of authority and power. Other countries are not like this at all. Women run for office and win in other countries. They are respected and embraced as professionals in every field other than in this country. We are so backward and going further back in time now with the shift and loss of hard-earned rights of women.
It is damn frightening to see the true America with the blinds down. I guess this is who we are! THIS IS US! As to Kamala Harris who in 107 days got the vote of a bit less than half while those who could have kept Trump out stayed home. Yes!! It is not her laugh it is her gender and much more so than her race. I believe women and men will never vote for a woman in this country. They state things like "her laugh" or other such nonsense. I've heard it all, but it is her gender.
That is why I believe it is almost subconscious, and a visceral response to any woman in charge in this backward and doomed nation. Men hate women in this country. Women hate women in this country. God bless VP Kamala Harris. Our loss never to be recaptured. One chance gone with no expectation of another chance to come along. She was our best bet and the perfect choice for this moment in time. Gone.
Thanks brandon for caring about our state. I love california. And you're a decent man. Take care.
THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!
💙💙
It's not just playing politics! Everyone is giving this guy way too much credit for what he says and does. He has dementia and likely Alzheimers. He needs to called out on his stupidity instead of calling it politics!! Anyone who has ever been in a forest, no Donald a city park is not a forest and held a rake would know you can't rake a forest to prevent fires. And anyone who has ever lost electricity at there house knows it takes power to pump water to hydrants. And fish need more water to survive not less. And on and on for as long as he opens his mouth. Very little is planned and if it is it's because someone is rehearsing it with him. He has no plans. He misunderstands things people say all the time, starting with reopening the shuttered Navy base in Iceland which the next day turned into talking about buying Greenland because he heard people talking about keeping Russia/ China from controlling the Arctic shipping lanes. And then not buying it but "expanding" into it. etc. It's not a plan! It is a distraction but I really doubt it was planned because Musk isn't that stupid. Neither is Rubio and Wiles. This has demented Don written all over it.
Lots of people I talked to say that they don't like Trump but they but they voted for him for his business skills
Donald is mentally ill and has never been a normal caring person. I have no hope for him.
He’s not afraid of not winning again in 2028. It’s unconstitutional to serve - n I use that word loosely in his case- more than 2 terms.
Of course, he seems to think he can change that.
Don't worry there is more than enough MAGA hate in California to go around, and all our red counties hate most of our legislature and governor as much as any Fox News/X-reading republican is directed to do by billionaire owned corporate media. The populus of the country has been fractured and destroyed by the billionaires that have bought Washington and are now quickly draining all of the middle classes' wealth. As silly as it sounds the west coast becoming Canadian provinces actually is the best course to unlink our thriving west coast economy from being drained by the federal government owned by the billionaire set.
😂😂😂😂
Ask James Woods
I LOVE YOU BRANDO WHERE CAN I FIND YOU SO RESPECT A MAN WITH TRUE GRIT AND A HEART THANK YOU LORD
💙 i always appreciate listening to you! Thanks.
💙
Great stuff. Thank you.
I think JD is gonna take that office. Just watch.
GOOD STUFF!!!! tHANK YOU!!!!!
He does that shit to distract from his monetizing political corruption!
💙
I wish people would tell us what is true, instead of just saying this is a lie. The "smelt" is in a No. Calif river that flows into the Pacific, not LA. LA reservoirs are full. Abnormally wet winters have packed snow into the mountains. When it melts, it goes into the reservoirs. There is no water in the fire hydrants because the enormous use of water has drained the neighbohood water towers and there is no electricity to pump in more. Canada and Mexico have sent firefighters including water planes. LA has received 0.16 inches of rain since May.
What is so sad and troubling to me, is that there was a time in our country during any type of a disaster, all Americans put politics aside and bound together to help each other. This was one of the great things about Americans. We stuck together. Since the days of Trump and his corrupt minions, this is no more. Instead of coming together, they have to play the lying blame game.
Is that a picture of John Prine to the left of your head❤️🥰?
I remember Trump's responses to California Fire Disasters in his first administration were just as repulsive. Remember his comments about sweeping the forests? He will never change and a large part of the population feed off that toxic culture.
TB....thank you for once again putting your finger on the root of the problem here....tRUMP and the brain dead people that voted for this waste of humanity....should be careful what they wish for, they may not like what they get.....I'm subscribed, follow and always share your thoughts.
💙💙💙💙💙💙
Have Trump fix it. Just turn on the tap. And then he will shut the eff up. Very publicly have him fix it.
💙
Oh but he goes out and throws paper towels at people…I just don’t get it?
He’s also trying to slander and discredit a political opponent who could beat another MAGA in 2028….
Thank you Brandon for your support of California and caring. I live in Northern CA in a county that is basically red. There is a site called Next Door and one of the posters was talking about the fires and devastation they were causing. Almost immediately all of the negativity that you pointed out was posted in response. I and two others responded with the facts. I had just read an article showing how many Republicans in the Senate and House had voted against the disaster bill in December. I was going to post that information only to find that the thread had been deleted.
My only hope was that it was up long enough that people who read the whole thread learned the truth.
Thank goodness that Biden is still in office to lend Southern California the help it needs.
Keep up the good work!
Thanks for your comment Kathy. At some point I'll need to avoid 45 and too much political talk to keep my mental health in good shape. Eventually it makes me a little crazy.
It was on the local news here in CA that one or more of these fires were set.
Wonder if 45 had something to do with the fires. Nah, he wouldn't do that!
💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
He's a pig. I'm Australian and familiar with such devastating fires. I have watched as fire crossed the hill behind my home and the firefighters retreated to the road behind me. They couldn't stop it. I was lucky. The wind changed direction, but homes were lost elsewhere. And people died as I stood there helpless. To politicise such a situation and further frighten people is evil.
Trump is a poor excuse for a human being. I'm deeply concerned that his bullshit will inflame hatred between victims and their rescuers at the precise moment when the community needs to unite in mutual support. The situation is tragic. Thankyou President Biden for continuing to be a leader to the last minute of your term. Thankyou Governor Newsome for giving it your all when you are clearly pushing beyond your limits because you are needed. Trump, STFU.
Those people are not born in Tennessee, the ones you're talking about, they're transplants, the transplants have brains, the ones that were born. There are about as smart as a rock or as dumb as a rock. Whichever the way you wanna to put it.
💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙
Trump can't run term... what a relief, but he may not leave. That's my concern.
another term
💙
Thank you from California. There is no America First as you say. America for him is Red states only, and like you say, he can and will pull the rug out as soon as he feels slighted or corrected. Thank you Tennessee Brando for your compassion. It is an apocalypse here, and I live 500 miles north of LA. We are starting to get the smoke of thousands of homes and lives destroyed.
What you say and the way you say it is everything I believe and what everyone needs to hear. I'm hoping your message penetrates some of the mindless American brains who let this happen. Donald Trump is a masterful liar bu
t he also tells you what he's going to do, and if you have any intelligence and humanity, you have to know that nothing he will do is about helping you or Americans. He is only about himself and his billionaire cronies. Keep speaking out. We need to hear from you.
You can't make sense of Trump nor the people who voted for him. I wish I could just turn a blind eye and a def ear but I can't. The divisiveness and hate that he and his sycophants spew is infuriating and exhausting. When 9/11 happened, we came together. If 9/11 were to happen today, Trump would be blaming the Democrats. It is truly sad and sickening.
It’s such a shame.
Trump is 100% a bully. He has no worth, even in his own eyes, so he seeks to destroy all else that is successful and good that is around him, thereby assuming that his vitriol makes him look like a big man. And, per usual, his supporters cradle him, find excuses for his horrible behavior and for the stupid things he says and does repeatedly, every day, all day. Very soon we will lose our last normal president and be forced to grapple with Trump, once again. As Tennessee Brando just said in his video commentary, God help you if you voted for Trump and your state some day needs disaster relief from the federal government, because Brando is right: It won't matter if you live in a red state with a Republican governor and you're a registered Republican yourself if one itty-bitty thing ticks Trump off, then your state will be treated with disdain. No one is safe from the maniacal narcissist that will soon slither back into the oval office on January 20th. NO ONE. But hey, that's what you wanted, right?
💙
I wonder if Mel Gibson still thinks it was a good idea to vote for Trump now that his house has burned down while he was doing a podcast with Joe Rogan. Now that's karma! It was strange to see Desantis walking around with Biden after Hurricane Ian, but Biden was here when Florida needed help from the federal government, and Florida is a ruby red state. I hope the funds that Biden allocates for California cannot be taken away by Trump. Just when you think Trump can't sink any lower, he always seems to prove us wrong. The man is heartless.
Nothing is real or deserving of sympathy to Trump unless it happens to him.
As I just said on a Jesse Dollomore post drump hates anything & everybody that's Democratic. What would drump do with the Santa Ana winds that cause these fires? Is drump kidding about smelts being a garbage fish? They're good to eat battered & fried.
💙💙💙💙💙 thank you kind sir !
Thank you for your honest and clear opinion. So glad to have your reporting for the next 4. I don’t know how this is going to end. Because I truly believe this is the end of America.
I don't know anyone who goes to church with dy
Thank you!
SS tRUMP & his flip-flopping flounders are all about fraud, lies, hate, discord, deflection, discrimination, $$$ for themself, etc. being Narcissistic with delusions of grandeur. tRUMP is #1 on the top 15 Narcissists & Elon is #2.
TB, I use to believe the democrats we just Feckless. But after the whimpering submission to Maga, I believe they're cut from the same cloth. Jessica Denson is the only one with any balls. Maybe that's why she left Meidas.
Let me explain it this way.
Imagine if you will, a an Ice skater crossing a frozen lake on their way to a destination. the right skate is Republican, they go right. The left skate is Democrat, they go left. But who is the skater? wasn't sure until now. The skater is an Oligarch, and the Destination?.... Autrocracy!
So everyone else @ MeidasTouch lacks balls?
