“Fuck these trash people so fucking hard, they’re all going to hell when they die.”

Amen. I wish I believed in hell so I could sign up to the second half of that sentence. Then again, hell IS real—it just happens to be multiple locations in Los Angeles County. Maybe we can send them all there.

I believe in life after death and some kind of heaven. I also believe that there are some people, like those in the article, who would take one look through the "pearly gates," see who is in there, and choose the "outer darkness."

What’s especially rich is that all of these people yelling DEI are completely unemployable outside the wingnut welfare bubble. Charlie Kirk and Chaya Raichik couldn’t get hired to flip burgers. Megyn Kelly’s career tanked in record time after she left Fox. As is always the case, they’re telling on themselves.

Weird how all of these "Christians" are so full of hate for anyone not them, and their first response to a tragedy or a crisis is to blame "the other," rather than to help those in need, as Jesus commanded.

Jay was the first person they barred from their churches.

The only cards these people have are hatred and fear.

Such hate. They are sick people.

Conservatism IS racism.

"No response is going to be perfect, but actually the people responding and putting their lives on the line to fight this are fucking amazing, and they need all the help they can get."

If Rob Finnerty, Scott Jennings, Jesse Watters, and Fathead Kirk are so sure that white boys could stop these fires, then why aren't they out on the front lines fighting them?

Attention grabbing from the worst people on the planet. Instead of using their platforms to help, they’d rather spread hate.

“Fuck these trash people so fucking hard, they’re all going to hell when they die.”

Yep, absolutely!

My in-laws are currently evacuated from the Palisades fire, my aunt lost power for two days from the Eaton fire, which my cousin's house is across the freeway from the evacuation zone and my kid sent me a picture of the Sunset fire she took from the roof of her apartment. I'm in OC, hoping Anaheim Hills doesn't decide to join the party. It's the fucking climate change and blaming it on anything else is being willfully stupid or bought.

My sister lost her house. They had installed a fire suppression system (like sprinklers for a house) but with such an intense blaze coupled with high winds and low water pressure, there was no way to avoid it.

It's so much more complex than funding shortfalls and whatever other BS excuses & victim blaming that is happening. Why can't they focus on helping people rather than shaming them? Enraging.

Damn. I’m so sorry.

The Pasadena Jaycees are a local nonprofit that already serves Pasadena and Altadena. They’re going to know which people don’t have outside help, who don’t have the dollars to get by on until proper aid kicks in. They do a lot of good work in the area.

You can find them, for real, on the stupid fb site that we deleted except for my LA friends. They stuck with it for some reason. For real though, the things they do are awesome and you should go check them out.

The Jaycees are accepting donations (stuff and the monies). You can give them the Venmo monies at @jaycee-treasurer.

It was hard reading what these vile people have written. Sadly, they are emboldened because of the results of the election. Why do people who aren't hateful fall for their constant culture war shit? It's why we can't have nice things - like saving the planet.

Musk, tRump and all those who agree with them are the biggest bunch of LOSERS the world will ever know! GOD HELP AMERICA (if that’s even possible at this point)!

Hand it to Chris Rufo to ultimately point out how racist the history and the policies of the US really are.

Streisand Effect, anyone?

I guess their point is that if the picture was of three fundy Xtian pedophile pastors flashing big toothy smiles, the rains would fall and the wind wouldn’t blow?

Since we’ve been dragged back to the schoolyard by these people I’m just going to say it: wow, they’re a bunch of ugly-looking mouth-breathing motherfuckers. I’m no oil painting but that Chaya Raichik ‘woman’ (I hereby rescind her membership of my gender) should sort out her own problems first, before she tries to pronounce on other people’s. She could start with the tellogen effluvium, acne scarification, and pronounced snaggle-toothed overbite. Time was, schoolyard bullies with such physical defects quickly got shunned, humiliated - and silenced.

I hate what they’re doing to us.
