Plot twist: The Agents started the fire.
Federal policy under President Joe Biden’s administration stated that without “exigent circumstances” agents would not conduct their operations at natural disaster or emergency sites. Whether that policy remains in place, however, remains unclear.
C’mon. What do you think?
Sounds like a bunch of cops must be fed to the inferno.
I feel like it’s an eventuality that during a forest fire, misinformed hunters will just be firing rifles at firefighters trying to save their land.

The article reads more that someone who was upset they got rejected when applying to become a firefighter broke started a fire on purpose to lure out the fire department and then just shot them up when they arrived and committed suicide before capture. Its just a completely fucking wild ride that story.
Your tax dollars at work.
I think if you are working for the federal government and not actively sabotaging them you are at least complicit.
Depends on what you do.
Working at a VA hospital and providing medical care to veterans. Probably doesn’t count.
Working at the NPS trying to keep a park running and its resources protected. Probably doesn’t count.
I think the difference is employees that are trying to continue their civic duties versus those trying to further often illegal executive orders.
If you work in a MAGA-compromised agency, make sure to come to work sick and wipe your saliva on the doorknobs and keyboards of management and other MAGA lackeys.
I know a woman who tested positive for Covid back during the lockdown days and she went into a survival/gun shop which sported dozens of Trump signs out front and no one was wearing masks inside so she took hers off and fondled everything. After getting advice she shook the owner’s hand. The place is now closed and I often wondered why.
Chaotic good
She only gave them what they were demanding. They don’t want masks or lockdowns? Indulge them.
Oh, this sounds race-based, as border patrol is the agency doing the arresting.
I’ve worked with a ton of these guys, they’re most often on H2A visas from Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala… And some of the companies that contract them are… Not diligent about paperwork. Sucks for the guys. And beyond that, forestry work and wildland firefighting will absolutely grind to a halt without them in the west and southeast. Absolutely kneecapping all efforts to reduce fuels and replant burns/clear-cuts. There’s an argument to be made that the use of these crews is essentially forced labor anyway (pretty crazy economic gradient from here to their home countries) but all the guys I worked with were stoked to have the job and returned year after year. Anyhow I was definitely waiting for this to happen, and it’s going to result in more dysfunction in the forest industry.
Be a real shame if Federal buildings in Washington started to catch fire and fire departments refused to attend.
“Jenkins, grab my coat, we’re doing another 1812 and setting their fucking palace on fire!”
Canadian Militia Intensifies
No one ever says Fuck the Firefighters.
No, def not in that way.
In some other ways however …
Damn, we got ladies in these things now?! Hell yes!
Well, there’s that one time: https://youtu.be/7JkrJUAg8aI
If anyone here is a firefighter: refuse to respond to fire incidents at ICE or CBP facilities
Eh, not the detention centers please. A whole lot of innocent people there who don’t have the option to just make an orderly exit. Fuck their offices and vehicles though.
i would turn the hose on them.
Yeah, no one’s ever going to be just perfectly ready to go when suddenly their mundane work day gets interrupted by Nazis, but I think a bunch of firefighters getting one of their comrades kidnapped would be a situation where you could get a bit wild and suffer few long term consequences. “CBP arrests squad of firefighters in an active wildfire zone for interfering with them kidnapping one of their members” is the sort of thing that gets attention and dropped charges.
I just realized Washington is the only state named after a president. How isn’t Trump jealous? I think they should grant Washington D.C. statehood and call the new state Trump.

Are all these ICE agents planning to die in the next 3 years? The next president is likely to unseal all these records and prosecute them for their crimes.
That’s way more likely than someone in power facing accountability at least. History show that.
And none of the Nazis, on their way out to a wildfire zone to do a random ID check on firefighters (it wasn’t even targeted) had it bubble up in their smooth brains that maybe they were the baddies.
and the ones that did were proud of it
Are all these ICE agents planning to die in the next 3 years?
A lot of these guys have little to no formal education and both ears full of AM Talk Radio every day. They’re being offered six figures to do the kind of thuggish brutality they were eager to engage in for free under prior administrations.
The next president is likely to unseal all these records and prosecute them for their crimes.
Kinda like they prosecuted a third of the J6ers? Lightly and in a manner that made them into celebrity martyrs rather than pariahs?
You think these fucks are keeping records?
Less than 200 Nazis were executed by the Nuremberg trials. It would be awesome if every member of ICE and friends danced at the end of a rope, but I am doubtful.
It’s like jan 6 when everyone recorded themselves for posterity, they plan on showing it to their grandchildren one day. They’re not sorry. And those fucks got away with it then, soooooo….
I probably believed that before George Bush Sr. and Jr. (middle east, etc), now I don’t think anyone will actually be held accountable unless it’s a U.N. styled group but even then the people who are “useful” won’t see any type of repercussions (like operation paperclip with ww2).
Honestly, I am doubting the usefulness of MAGAT “experts”, if Big Balls, RFK, and the rest are any indication. Unfortunately, a bunch of the bastards are wealthy, and harsh sentences are for the peasantry.
Then take their wealth.
The reprehensible behavior of the entire MAGA administration is a clear demonstration that they don’t expect there to be a “next” president.
The reprehensible behavior of the entire MAGA administration is a clear demonstration that they don’t expect there to be a “next” president.
And if people plan on waiting 3 years to do anything about the current adminstration there won’t be.
Don’t mess with firefighters or emergency medical personnel.
The three steps needed now:
- Defund the police
- Destroy ICE
- Support and fund firefighters
I think we can just combine the first two steps. Perhaps switch the first words in their order.
