It’s always funny to watch the slimiest of slimy, like Nancy Pelosi beg Trump for something. There are horrible wildfires in California again. These are the results of dry lightning, disastrous Moonbeam environmental policies and in some cases arson. Personally, I hate the state of California and all politicians who have turned it to shit. But when it comes to disasters, I put my hatred aside and am always in favor of aid. Same is the case after hurricanes. Trump has already given California billions of dollars in aid, but now Pelosi is begging for more.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is pushing President Trump for more federal help to fight California’s raging wildfires, including taking new steps to combat climate change trends that experts say have exacerbated this year’s crisis.
Trump signed an emergency declaration over the weekend for federal help in battling the Carr Fire in Northern California, which has already destroyed nearly 170,000 acres and killed seven people.
Pelosi on Tuesday hailed the move as “an important first step.” But with a second group of fires, known as the Mendocino Complex, now raging even larger, Pelosi wants the president to expand the relief to other hard-hit areas of the state. Gov. Jerry Brown (D) has asked the administration to do just that.
“The Administration’s Major Disaster Declaration for Shasta County takes an important first step to combat this disaster, but the President must expand this declaration to the other counties ravaged by wildfires, as Governor Brown has requested,” Pelosi said in a statement.“The Administration also must start taking real, urgent action to combat the threat of the climate crisis, which is making the wildfire season longer, more expensive and more destructive.”
