BOISE, Idaho (AP) — President Joe Biden on Monday pointed to wildfires burning through the West to argue for his $3.5 trillion spending plan, calling year-round fires and other extreme weather a climate change reality the nation can no longer ignore.

Biden spoke during a briefing in Boise, Idaho, while visiting the National Interagency Fire Center, which coordinates the government’s response to wildfires.

Millions of acres of land in several Western states have burned already this year, he noted.

“The reality is we have a global warming problem, a serious global warming problem, and it’s consequential and what’s going to happen is, things are not going to go back,” Biden said.

1. And I just realized that another important disconnect between Dems and

reTHUGS is that the reTHUGS would never spend a dime to improve infrastructure
while President Joe is saying, yes, we have money to spend on important things.

2. Conservatives love to bring up "tax and spend" liberals

as examples of government excess, but when the money is going to repair and improve our crumbling infrastructure to better prepare us for more frequent extreme weather events brought about by MAN-MADE climate change, spend away!

3. A crowd of Trumper protestors came to spread their COVID among themselves at Boise airport

Oh, that's right, they came to protest that the election didn't turn out the way they wanted. No? Oh, then they turned up to defend their rights to spread deadly diseases in enclosed public spaces. No? they came to protest vaccine mandates when relying on common sense and scientific facts didn't work. Oh, that's not it either? Maybe to open a new hospital where the unvaccinated "caregivers" don't wear masks nor believe in basic medical septic practice. They'll call it "Typhoid Mary Memorial". Then they'll set it on fire to protest climate change mitigation efforts.


Just as long as they "own us libs".
