Fire Drama playing out at Reagan Library

Library is surrounded by fire, staff hunkered down inside.
Flame within 200 yards of Reagan's gravesite.

Brave people trying to preserve history.

Smart move prevention-wise.
Trees were cut back and bush allowed to be eaten by goats.
Fie seems to have passed around the buildings.

GD hippies probably started it, smoking their wacky weed in the forest, talking to little animals, and getting lost in the discussions.

Please, stop.

I’m sure there are folks of all political stripes caught in the fires worried about losing their homes, lives maybe.

Please stop yourself.
This place is full of historical memorabilia from key moments in our history and the history of the world.

It would not matter it it Were Bill Clinton's Library and Massage Parlor or Barack Obama's Library. The contents in all of them are irreplaceable historical records. Politics has nothing to do with it, and neither do the homes of other people.

The point of it all was that people were risking their lives to stay and try to protect our history.

Of course it was right over your head.

Remember when Trump said that the state of CA itself is responsible for some of these wild fires getting out of hand; that they should be trimming/thinning/cutting/cleaning out trees/brush etc.? Am glad that somebody was listening...and was, obviously, not mocking or laughing at Trumps' expense, like so many clueless imbeciles usually do. If this were the Obama library, it would have burned in a flash!

" trimming/thinning/cutting/cleaning out trees/brush etc."

Like George W Whodat? did in his non-presidential time (instead of golf)? How come he doesn't get much mention around here any more?

Also, Donlad said that the US should be acting more like Finland. Not CA, the US. I'm thinking of starting an Amway for rakes and shovels.

Just pointing out that, 2 posts after the "GD hippies" comment, you hit us with

"It would not matter it it Were Bill Clinton's Library and Massage Parlor or Barack Obama's Library. The contents in all of them are irreplaceable historical records. Politics has nothing to do with it, and neither do the homes of other people."

The two posts seem a little...ahem, a bit polar opposite.

Unless "GD hippies" don't count? Or one of your funnniee jokes? (If so, which post?)

Unless it related to the same people... each and every day.
