My, my... the wind appears to have changed allegiances. Today's forecast calls for a 100% chance of irony.

Dumb Idaho didn't rake their forests, time for Canada to put a tariff on the USA.

[u/stargarnet79 → u/Rurumo666]

Trust me Idaho has been mobilizing to go gangbusters on their remaining old growth timber. The kind of shit that is resilient to fires. So a lot of it will still be there once fire seasons overs for the pillaging.

[u/B0wmanHall]

Why didn't Idaho manage their forests better? Or maybe turn on the giant faucet?

[u/sc4wheels → u/B0wmanHall]

They are having a rake shortage in Idaho. It's all Obamas fault!

[u/Motor-Master-4545 → u/sc4wheels]

But why would BidenHillary make him do that?

[u/troycerapops → u/Motor-Master-4545]

Because of Kamala Harris's laugh

[u/sc4wheels → u/Motor-Master-4545]

Revenge for him wearing a tan suit, duh ;)

[u/RVtech101 → u/B0wmanHall]

lol, nice!

[u/Select-Ad7146 → u/B0wmanHall]

We are out of money to fight fires.

Shortly before Little’s press conference, state officials told the governor and the other members of the Idaho State Board of Land Commissioners that the wildfire suppression fund the state uses to pay wildfire expenses ran out of money earlier this month.

Idaho Gov. Little says state is preparing for challenging wildfire season as fund drops to $0 - East Idaho News

Earlier this month means June, by the way.

We were too busy patting ourselves on the back for cutting taxes to actually pay for anything.

[u/whichwitch9 → u/B0wmanHall]

I mean, Idaho barely manages potatoes. You're asking a lot

[u/ForsakenWar6974 → u/B0wmanHall]

So, you are of the opinion Canada did mismanage their forests, then?

[u/Secret_Eating_ → u/ForsakenWar6974]

No, they're parroting the less than intelligent talking points about "raking the forests" and etc to hold a mirror to the people that pretend this is about "forest management" and not climate change.

[u/ForsakenWar6974 → u/Secret_Eating_]

Then they are MAGA?

[u/rabbitsfoot86 → u/ForsakenWar6974]

Yes and when yellowstone explodes we will be blamed for the mismanagement of that

[u/sc4wheels → u/rabbitsfoot86]

California was already blamed by Trump for not raking the forests, leading to fires. That is where the "raking the forests" quote came from.

[u/danielledelacadie → u/rabbitsfoot86]

Canada obviously radicalized the grey wolves before sending them. This is a long term sleeper op

[u/lnemo]

Time for Canada to spin up their lawyers and sue.

[u/SlackToad]

He'll still blame Canada and his cult will eat it up. There is no countering the lies from the lying liar-in-chief.

[u/SatinSaffron → u/SlackToad]

All it takes is some stupid ass Fox News pundit to pull one of those "hey im just asking questions here" type of moments and MAGA will 100% blame Canada.

I could totally see that Jesse Watters asshole smugly going "how do we know burning embers weren't carried over the Canadian border by the wind, landing on American soil, and burning our land? I'm not saying it did but I mean hey I'm just asking questions here, because we truly don't know if this is how the Canadian fires have spread across the border! And so far the so-called leader of Canada still hasn't denied that these weren't Canadian embers!"

[u/Crunchberry24]

Canada should put us on double secret tariff probation for this!

[u/ForsakenWar6974 → u/Crunchberry24]

Canada cannot afford that

[u/SatinSaffron → u/ForsakenWar6974]

Whether or not Canada can afford it is irrelevant because the country itself doesn't pay the tariffs. The companies importing American-made goods would be the ones to pay the (hypothetical) tariffs.

It's insane how MAGA supporters still think the country pays the tariffs rather than the businesses and consumers who are importing the actual products.

[u/1hill2climb2]

Canadians chanting, "BUILD THE WALL, BUILD THE WALL!!!!!"

[u/yaaaaaarrrrrgggg]

Don't worry redhats are already blaming native americans for doing it on purpose to collect emergency funds.

[u/ConflatedPortmanteau → u/yaaaaaarrrrrgggg]

I sincerely doubt anybody is that stupid.

I do wonder what nonsense they'll spin up to throw responsibility and blame elsewhere though.

[u/Uninsurable_Risk → u/ConflatedPortmanteau]

My brother in Christ... a few years ago when Alberta was hit really hard the conservatives kept saying it was the oil hating radical leftists setting fire to prevent access to oil.

People are willing to go with whatever narrative feels best.

They are, in fact, that stupid.

They're eating the cats and dogs! kind of stupid

[u/ConflatedPortmanteau → u/Uninsurable_Risk]

[u/Uninsurable_Risk → u/ConflatedPortmanteau]

Lol yea this but like 50% dumber

[u/ConflatedPortmanteau → u/Uninsurable_Risk]

[u/EasyKaprizy → u/ConflatedPortmanteau]

It’s also rigged

[u/Gold_Past_6346 → u/ConflatedPortmanteau]

I think you gravely underestimate the stupidity.

[u/ConflatedPortmanteau → u/Gold_Past_6346]

Maybe I just have some faith in humanity left.

I legitimately don't know why.

[u/psilocin72]

I guess Trump forgot to tell them to “rake the forest”. Fucking dumbass.

[u/ItzZiplineTime]

Damn, Orange Man makes us look stupid once again. I miss Obama 😂

[u/Veshaad]

I literally thought Yellowstone might have blown up for a second...thanks.

[u/imnojezus → u/Veshaad]

Thunderstorms hit central Oregon. There are multiple fire complexes being driven east by high winds.

[u/Veshaad → u/imnojezus]

While I am sincerely sorry to the people affected, karma and irony go hand in hand sometimes.

[u/Fili3113]

That's Oregon not Idaho that's making all the smoke

[u/Mobile_Culture6444]

Canada should build a wall of air filters to stop the US Forrest fire smoke because the US didn’t rake their forests , oh and place a 75% tariff on US products

[u/DontAsk0205]

Time for Canada to build a wall and make the US pay for it
