Wouldn't that also be true for all the water they sprayed on it with hoses?

Firefighters don't spray at the fire they spray over it to cool the air until it's to cold to ignite.
They would also douse everything near the fire to slow the spread but it's a rookie mistake to directly target the hottest spot.

What an idiot. Sadly, it's just not surprising coming from the man who claimed he'd be too busy as president to golf but spends more time on the golf course than any other president in history. It shows where his priorities lie.

It's not as if he does much work when he's in DC - which is good, given how his only interest is in harming as many people as he can for personal gain. The real problem with his constant golf outings is that he's almost certainly blabbing state secrets in the presence of people who he's supposed to be protecting said secrets from.

Pretty sure the reliable security folks make sure that neither Trump nor any of his "unsafe" team get told the really juicy bits that would cause real problems if they blabbed. More likely they tell them soft stuff that only makes them feel privileged and "in the loop", like what the Chinese Chairman had for breakfast. :rolleyes:

Why is that a problem?

But is that the role of Ways and Means?

He also said Mexico would pay for the wall, why aren't they helping him keep that promise?

Because a, he's already been blocked on that. And he's been running into continuous blockades as he shifts towards different methods of getting funding for his project. It's a different department addressing it, essentially.

Or, if you want something realistic, removing the ban on interstate sales of health insurance?

The Democrat platform is that in lieu of a better proposition from Republicans it's better to keep or fix issues with the Affordable Care act or simply expanding the scope of current programs. In this case it would be a fight for Republicans who want this done, something they seem unwilling to do.
Ban on interstate sales is a good thing from the Democrat view.
I really don't think they are trying to help Trump. Nor is it their role to do so.

Yeah of course they're not trying to help him. He's been boasting about his wealth and success and promising to release his tax returns.
His repeated refusal to follow through on that is suspicious, especially given the historical precedent of previous presidents doing so. Coupled with his previous issues with money and issues of money laundering its suspicious.
Either its because of a relatively small issue that he's making a big deal of not following his promises on, or it shows technically legal but scummy money sources.

Trump posts a stupid tweet about the Notre Dame fire, because of course he does.

France's Civil Defence Authority has posted a rare tweet in English, seemingly just to troll trump: https://twitter.com/SecCivileFrance/status/1117874924268376064

Hundreds of firemen of the Paris Fire Brigade are doing everything they can to bring the terrible #NotreDame fire under control. All means are being used, except for water-bombing aircrafts which, if used, could lead to the collapse of the entire structure of the cathedral.

So no water would ever come in contact with those overheated stones?
Click to expand...

it's not supposed to.

Point is: putting out fires should be a precision job, if at all possible.
Just dropping a ton of water on it is not as precise as is desirable.

The French authorities felt it necessary to put out a statement that Trump's idea would be really bad in this case.
In English.
