Having a great grand son isn't good news?

You're right, this thread is not satire.
It's sickening how some will spin a man's comments about a new born into something else.

The fact is, the Federal government has and is offering support to the State of California.
I’m sure people who lost every thing are overjoyed that the president’s son’s house survived and are still thankful that his Corvette survived a kitchen fire

Funny you have no objection to the joke about the golf course

But hey, president Biden is really showing leadership. He says the good news is that his son's house didn't burn
Biden had just described how Hunter and his wife received notification on Tuesday that their Malibu home had likely burned to the ground, but that it was still unclear whether that was the case.
and he's going to be a great grandfather.
[In the meantime, he's declared a major disaster.]

He then transitioned to the birth announcement.

Certainly. The aircraft that President-Elect Trump asserted don't exist have been making use of it.
Claim: "On top of it all, no water for fire hydrants, not firefighting planes."

This is somewhat true. Several news outlets in the Los Angeles area have reported that because of the extreme demand, fire hydrants ran dry in some areas and water storage tanks did go dry in the Palisades area, and local officials expressed serious concern over this.

According to NBC LA, Janisse Quinones, CEO and Chief Engineer for LA Department of Water and Power, said three large water tanks, about 1 million gallons each, were impacted.

This is somewhat true, but I don't see what it has to do with your previous comment about ocean water, that is indeed being used. And obviously firefighting planes are being used, in apparent contradiction to Trump's not-entirely-coherent statement.

As for the fire hydrants, nothing about Trump's complaints about diverting water from NorCal to SoCal would have affected this in any way whatsoever, and I defy you to provide evidence to the contrary.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say, but firefighting aircraft are using saltwater to fight these fires.

How many people in the disaster areas of this wildfire give a flying rip about the birth of Joe Biden's grandchild?
Probably none, but having declared a major disaster, Biden's done what he can at the federal level unless you expect him to go out and fight the fires mano a mano.

No I would like him to have some class but as far as what I expect he nailed it

Please don't cherry pick and take his words out of context. Please also show many of the rest of what President-elect Donald Trump has posted and also said in news conferences regarding the really stupid California policies about the annual series of wildfires in California.

He's been complaining about the way California does forestry management (which is to say they don't) since 2016 and earlier.

It's a major problem. If you don't keep the underbrush down fire will go out of control.

You can't just do nothing.

Most Americans understand the POTUS was in town to visit his grandchild. Most of us also understand a President can do two things at once.....
