    1. @Roberto krebbers – You’re your own god apparently, living in a world with 7.7 billion other gods, and no means, scientific or otherwise, of establishing the immutable supremacy of any moral code.

      What is it exactly, that you’re indignant about?

    2. @Jay Larsen you are wrong ….I think the people who don’t wear masks (play) god ,by not wearing a mask they deside over life and death….and you can be smart but it is a effing disgrace that a country as mighty and powerful with the best equipment,best experts and the most money let people die …almost a 1000 people every day die of Corona and about 190k people died in total..and last about faith I was raised as a catholic but don’t go to church anymore ..people are using faith for oppression ,most people in the world die in the name of some god,and all the child abuse in the catholic church..so maybe strange but I do pray but don’t go to church..and the fact I am my own god??, please explain..but thanks for your comment

    1. Your all a bunch of 🐑, arsonists started these fires durr, several have already been arrested, most of them Antifa scum

  1. Brace yourself for Donald Dumpsterfire telling the West Coast it needs to do more “raking” of the forest floor.

    1. @Sandra Wade Actually, as a fact, almost all the fires were caused by accident / broken power lines caused by high winds and dry conditions. Seriously stop with the crazy nonsense. No one coordinated making 500 fires within a week, that’s stupid. They would have to live in that area and be okay with BURNING THEIR OWN HOUSE DOWN. Do you realise HOW STUPID you sound ?

    2. @perspicacity “Free healthcare is impossible under a capitalist system.” True! healthcare is never free, but a State-run system stops profiteering by insurance companies and for-profit hospitals.

  2. At least Canada is sending messages of comfort to west coast Americans devastated by wildfire, since our American president refuses to address even his voter base out here.

    1. @Sweaty Fanny Pack the West Coast set it’s own criteria for destruction. The Governors have been very foolish in their responses to the people’s needs. It’s a “home grown” catastrophe. NYC will get it’s due as well.

    2. I wish you all the best and for those who have lost everything I am so sorry but u have your life so vote for the right person now so your life will be better I hope soon.

  3. Climate change is for real just wait until next year, there will be no California or Oregon.
    All of this is made by man, ignoring climate change for over 100 years
    And this is man’s reward

    1. @zeppo shemp Over 500 fires were caused in the past 2 weeks. Nice try though, try and blame it on one person. Not that they aren’t stupid too.

  4. Nothing but pain in my heart tears in my eyes how can people sleep when this is happening how can Trump say we are doing good we don’t have nothing to worry about when this is happening death all around us that man don’t care about any of us at all I’m praying for our planet and everyone on it 🙏

    1. Accountability falls upon those who caused this. Black Live Matter are arsonists who burned down cities and, NOW..burned down states. You think if they were willing to start fires in liberal cities, they would hesitate to burn down the entire states as well? Wake up!

    1. @Richard Alan Eccleston No I actually have a degree in it. My agenda is saving the planet. GOP is worse but dems aren’t the end goal by a long shot.

    2. @SEBASTION HAWK Hahaha, hahahahaha, hahahaa Zuckerburg is a progressive ? You don’t even know what the word means. Don’t use words you don’t know, just makes you look dumb.

  5. I’m in an Oregon hotel wondering if my home is gone. I’m a high-school teacher. We have been scrambling to get online school ready due to COVID. Now, because of teachers and students having to evacuate their homes and the air quality at danger levels, school has been postponed until Sept. 21. AND we have a human disaster in charge of the country spreading hatred and division. I overheard some ladies in the hotel lobby saying that the fires were started by Black Lives Matters and that in Texas they know how to take care of these things with guns. My colleague said today that it seems we are living level 7 in Jamanji. It is definitely surreal.

  6. Guess who controls all the B-52s, Ospreys and the entire aerial equipment under the Air force which could be used to fight the fires?

  7. Where the FCUK is the Head Cheerleader of the United States?
    Oh! I know what he’s doing. He’s doing the same thing he did with COVID-19. He doesn’t want to cause any panic to the people of California, Oregon and Washington. These are just tiny bonfires and with the autumn rain around the corner they’ll disappear… well, at least for the Pacific Northwest.

    This terrorist we have for a president needs to be thrown in prison for the rest of his life.

    1. @SEBASTION HAWK try not to be arrogant and presumptuous for just a moment and consider that you dont know what I believe. Perhaps you could overlook your pride and see that the whole political system is a sham. I named it for you. Hegelian dialectic. You could just go read, but instead you want to hurl one of the many lower level narratives supplied by your chosen form of brainwashing. Every kingdom divided will fall. Your chosen political savior will not save you. Ultimately, you will either stand for Truth, or you fall for rhetoric. You stand behind open liars and hypocrites while pointing your finger at other liars and hypocrites. Open your eyes. Stop being a hypocrite and turn back to God. These are the end times. If you can’t see it, you will.

  8. god bless the people of the west coast. can you frigging believe it? oregon & washington burning, BUUT TRUMP SAID, “THERE’S NO CLIMATE CHANGE.”
    #WRONGWRONGWRONG end republicanism & let’s fix this

    1. He is supposed to go there but this is WEEKS of not saying anything publically. Not only does he not really care about these
      “Democrat states”, he does not care about the fact that LOTS of Republicans continue to live in those states.

    2. @Karen Byrd
      And since the fires are in rural areas, it is probably overwhelmingly Republican. But they can’t help Trump in the electoral college, so they don’t exist for him.

    3. That’s the reason he did nothing and continues to do nothing on Covid-19. He can’t figure out how to only help his base.

    4. Donald Trump doesn’t realize his number one brown nose in Congress Devin Nunes represents a district that is on fire

  9. Fire 25 miles from me today, smoke filled air clogging my lungs, Trump and his base are the problem here, one of Trump’s base started the Medford Talant fire. Azalea Oregon.

    1. @Anti Trumper
      It’s still the same country. White people are now seeing its toxicity too. I’m not saying that what is now happening is just business as usual, but issues are finally being aired out for everyone to see. It’s a tough thing.

  10. What is 45’s problem with saying anything, or doing anything, to help with this disastrous fire situation in the West? Malignant Petulance.

    1. They didn’t vote for him and he knows they won’t this time either. Guess they should have raked the forests…

    1. @Shaun Stark Why are you putting the word science in quotation marks? It doesn’t make sense.

      I don’t have a god. But, I do like science. The good thing about it is that it works whether you believe in it or not. In fact, you are using it to subscribe to YouTube and make comments.

    2. @Magical Frijoles your logic sounds solid for a 12 year old, yet you’re missing the whole part where science is often wrong in its assumptions. Just because technology looks like magic to you doesnt mean you have to believe everything a “scientist” tells you.

    3. @Shaun Stark Well, you nailed it. I am not smart enough to understand technology. I sure hope my employer, who pays me six figures, doesn’t figure out that they are paying me to be a SME in IT and I have no idea what I am doing.

    4. @Magical Frijoles I should have known you were a genius; with a name like magical frijoles, how could I have ever thought otherwise?

  11. My heart is breaking for every person and animal affected by this absolute devastation. I am praying for you all. 😢💗🙏

  12. This is beyond tragic. Jesus. Whole towns just gone up in ash. Communities completely destroyed and cast to the wind. Horrible.

    1. Jesus name shouldn’t be used in that manner sir.
      In Jesus name there is power snd even the demons tremble.
      There is salvation in His name.
      In my opinion I believe America is being judged by the sins of abortion, corruption, rebelling against God.
      Repent while there is time!
      Trust and believe in Jesus Christ. He died for both u and me.
      He rose the 3rd day defeating death and sin!

    2. marisol rubio None of that happened. Quit believing in stupid fairy tales. You’re a grown up. Accept reality. There is no god.

    3. Anthony Bunch My man, you are wild. I just watched you drink a glass of Pine-Sol. Are you for real or are you just trolling?

    1. Jeff Gibson 🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴😳🤦🏻‍♀️. That’s NOT comforting at all. Claiming asylum and getting out of this craziness in Jan. if….
