A day without stupid?

When I see video of them dropping it in the heart of a city with insignificant collateral damage I will reconsider.

If you look at videos from them fighting the fire, there was a constant spray of water from all sides, at all times, the full height of the church. They have water cannons! There's just no need (or point) to bring in anything that hasn't got a fat hose plugged in to the water grid. Getting anything to lift up water to drop it is just a waste of time and effort. Not to mention, more moving parts, so more that can go wrong.

A helicopter isn't dependent on local water pipes (firefighters can max out the available local water) and can drop on the top of the structure. Whether it would be a good idea to do such a drop is another matter, though.

There's no risk of running out of water at the Île de la Cité, it's surrounded by water. The idea that firefighters might not have sufficient water to hand at that particular site is in-Seine.

If french fire trucks are not equipped with pumps and hoses that can make use of local water sources such as nearby lakes, rivers, or pools in the absence of sufficient reticulated town water, I shall eat my hat.

News Update! The Parisian Fire Fighters did not run out of local water! This late breaking news is coming in indicating that the people charged with saving the Notre Dame, did in fact, put out the flames without running out of water. Concerns from abroad were raised regarding the best methods of putting out a fire, including from in the air, a method rarely ever used in metropolitan, suburban, or rural fire fighting. The local firefighters, however, decided to risk running out of local water, and managed to save a portion of the Notre Dame, including the two bell towers.

...and can drop on the top of the structure.

You curious about how much weight roofs are designed to take?

Whether it would be a good idea to do such a drop is another matter, though.

Well, thanks for bringing it up, none the less.

LOL...now Fox is out to get the clown...May God Rest His Soul!

Many Trump Fans & Signs were outside of the @FoxNews Studio last night in the now thriving (Thank you President Trump) Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, for the interview with Crazy Bernie Sanders. Big complaints about not being let in-stuffed with Bernie supporters. What’s with @FoxNews?

So weird that, for once, Fox acted almost like a News channel...

Did the President just thank himself in a Tweet in the third person? And how would he know about who was outside the Fox News Studio?

Yes.

And how would he know about who was outside the Fox News Studio?

By watching some other TV show...

Like Keith said, he does that. How? Why of course by observing it from the source from which most of his shitty notions comes from:

Jesus fucking tap-dancing orangutan...

Trump's tweet about calling the pope:

"Just had a wonderful conversation with @Pontifex Francis offering condolences from the People of the United States for the horrible and destructive fire at Notre Dame Cathedral."

Dude, the fact that you had to offer condolences makes it unlikely to have been a 'wonderful' conversation.

Or at least, for human beings, it would not have been. For you, the fact that you get a chance to name-drop while bragging about your own exploits, that may be wonderful... But it's still kind of ghoulish...

I was talking in general about the use of helicopters for urban firefighting, not this fire in particular.

Trump seems to have been able to control himself during the Sri Lanka attack thing. I have not seen him say anything dumb yet. Is this the first day we might not see new idiocies from him?

Oh, you missed where he gave condolences to the 138 million killed in the bombings? To be fair, he likely didn't write that tweet. It was actually spelled right, coherent, offering condolences, and was not turned to being about him in any way at all, or attacking any of his critics.

It's such a mystery why he doesn't have paid staff to write that shit. Even low rent Youtubers and influencers hire people for that. Truly a bizarre man

Ahh... getting back to just the petty stupid shit our President Tweets.

I've done more for Firefighters than this dues sucking union will ever do, and I get paid ZERO!

This was in reference to Biden getting an endorsement from the nation's largest firefighters union.

'Liar liar pants on fire' comes to mind for this elementary school stunted man.

When you got home yesterday, you might have noticed it had blown up. Like many Americans yesterday, who have bullshit meters that weren't recalibrated recently, came home to shattered homes due to their bullshit meters exploding with an intensity that explosives experts said was "previously unknown to be possible". Here is why:

“People say, ‘How do you get through that whole stuff? How do you go through those witch hunts and everything else?’” Trump said at the White House during a National Day of Prayer service.

He looked over to Vice President Mike Pence and shrugged.

“We just do it, right?” the president continued. “And we think about God.”

The Kentuky (sp) Derby decision was not a good one. t was a rough and tumble race on a wet and sloppy track, actually, a beautiful thing to watch. Only in these days of political correctness could such an overturn occur. The best horse did NOT win the Kentucky Derby - not even close!

Oh for fuck sakes!

Even if it was a bad decision... "political correctness"? No, the problem was, the horse changed lanes and fucked up the derby for at least three other horses. Ultimately, we'll never know who would have won had that not happened. But the horse messed up... as mammals sometimes do. That isn't political correctness, it is the fucking nature of riding horses near loud noises.

Technically, the "politically correct" thing to do was let the horse remain the winner because it wouldn't have been fair to let the horse be DQ'd for being over-reactive to noise.

Who knew that the Democrats have gotten more sophisticated, instead of throwing tomatoes at FFvC, evidently they are throwing German Christmas bread at him...

Despite the tremendous success that I have had as President, including perhaps the greatest ECONOMY and most successful first two years of any President in history, they have stollen two years of my (our) Presidency (Collusion Delusion) that we will never be able to get back.....,

Meanwhile we get to wait and watch for the market opening tanking show due to Tariff Man's latest tantrum...

So sad that investigating all those indicted and convicted people took away The Donald's ability to pick two SCOTUS, and forced him to have his daughter sit in his place at a summit.

It's not like anyone decided to spend years blocking Obama's every move for the sole purpose of blocking Obama's every move...
