Clearly a despicable act that should send the president out on his ear.

Taylor, who served as chief of staff to Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, also accused President Donald Trump of repeatedly using his office for political purposes, including directing officials to cut wildfire relief funding to California because voters there overwhelmingly opposed him in 2016.

Of course, that is only a small part of all the things Donald Trump has done that should send him out on his ear.

Remember this?

Trump did not cut wildfire funding for the state of CA. Your second link is old, and the first source is a smear opinion piece by what we now commonly refer to as a Never Trumper. :yawn:

Your thread title is a complete fabrication.
In the past, the president has "threatened to cut funding" but in fact, he hasn't.
He stepped up payments by FEMA in a series of 2019 wildfires.

A post done from ignorance. Do you know how much of CA is federal lands? Do you know how much Rx fire and fuel treatments are done in CA?

Clearly you don't. Try educating yourself before making such statements.

Dishonest post ^

The so-called "Never Trumper" was a senior member in his administration. So, your lie could not have been bigger even if you tried covering it up, which of course you did not.

Also, how is an article from July considered old?

When it comes to Trump supporters defending the indefensible, the lies do keep coming. I will agree to that.

No wonder the Trump supporters are gaslighting and denying, this guy is exposing the whole enchilada.

"What we saw week in and week out, and for me, after two and a half years in that administration, was terrifying," Miles Taylor said in a video from Republican Voters Against Trump. "We would go in to try to talk to him about a pressing national security issue – cyberattack, terrorism threat – he wasn't interested in those things. To him, they weren't priorities."

Mr Taylor, who had served as Department of Homeland Security chief of staff under former secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, is one of the highest-ranking former administration officials to endorse the president's rival.

No, we are not. We had a drought before this. And, Tax Cut economics means the States are perpetually under funded.

the state of California is afraid control burning will cause pollution, so I guess that when you have a fire it doesn't pollute! liberal thinking like that is why your state is so messed up! people get out of California and don't worry about your gun you can't have them anyway! Q 2024

You mean the west is dry?


Maybe that's the reason your Diane Feinstein warned of apocalyptic disaster for your state of Calif during immigration debate back in the the 1990's?

Isn't it wonderful being on the right wing where any fantasy will do?

Prescribed burning is the controlled application of fire to the land to reduce wildfire hazards, clear downed trees, control plant diseases, improve rangeland and wildlife habitats, and restore natural ecosystems. Sometimes called a controlled burn or prescribed fire, prescribed burning is one of the most important tools used to manage fire today. As catastrophic wildfires continue to be a growing concern in California, the use of prescribed burning to reduce hazardous fuels is projected to increase. Daily burn decisions are issued based on the forecast of air quality and meteorological conditions that can affect smoke dispersion.--https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/our-work/programs/prescribed-burning

Yes, we had a drought just a few years ago. And, right wing tax cut economics means Government is perpetually underfunded or in massive debt. Thanks, right wingers.

No, the problem is our broken political system as a result of our broken citizenry
