    ā€œJust move your forests to the oceanā€¦ā€

    I am seriously starting to think Trump has never seen a forested area in his life. What a fucking dumbass.

      Remember when he said that forest fires started because people didnā€™t rake the forest enough?

        Thatā€™s been a long running line of propaganda from the lumber industry. ā€œold growth forests are messy and us lumber companies will clean them up!ā€

          Which is funny because if youā€™ve ever been to an area thatā€™s recently been logged (or ā€œthinnedā€ as they like to spin it), the ground is completely covered by a thick layer of all the branches theyā€™ve trimmed off. Nope, no fire hazard thereā€¦

      The guy who told us to inject disinfectant during the height of the pandemic is dumbass?

      Or the guy that rambles like an incoherent 4th grader winging an oral report in front of his class:

      ā€œLook, having nuclearā€”my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart ā€”you know, if youā€™re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say Iā€™m one of the smartest people anywhere in the worldā€”itā€™s true!ā€”but when youā€™re a conservative Republican they tryā€”oh, do they do a numberā€”thatā€™s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortuneā€”you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because weā€™re a little disadvantagedā€”but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers meā€”it would have been so easy, and itā€™s not as important as these lives are (nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of whatā€™s going to happen and he was rightā€”who would have thought?), but when you look at whatā€™s going on with the four prisonersā€”now it used to be three, now itā€™s fourā€”but when it was three and even now, I would have said itā€™s all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they donā€™t, they havenā€™t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, itā€™s gonna take them about another 150 yearsā€”but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us.ā€

      Yes. This guy is a fucking moron.

      Trees are just those things you clear out to make way for hotels and golf courses, they grow like weeds.
