1. Thank you Ted Lieu.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. I'm so glad Ted Lieu represents me! We are lucky to have him in Congress. n/t

[liberaltrucker]

13. Lucky you.

I'm stuck with an obnoxious Repug who makes Trump look svelte.

3. Wow.

[TwilightZone]

4. He's still whining about the idiotic "clean the forests" nonsense?

I guess getting thoroughly mocked didn't change his perspective. Go figure.

[A HERETIC I AM]

11. That's because his idea of the great outdoors...

Is Central Park.

He obviously has ZERO clue how vast the wooded areas in this country actually are.

[TwilightZone]

30. Agreed.

Hey, all it takes is a few guys with rakes. How big can it be?

His detachment from reality is pretty remarkable. About, well, everything.

5. I had no idea CA only owns about 3% of its forest land.

I'll be throwing that in faces up and down social media.

Ted Lieu is really sharp. Like, presidential sharp.

[Mr.Bill]

8. And that 3% includes local districts, not the state itself.

Here's a source for everyone:

10. Interesting, thanks for the link. 57% by the feds...

3% by the state, and 40% by families, Native American tribes, or companies.

[MurrayDelph]

33. If it weren't

for that pesky "native-born" requirement, he'd be a great candidate.

[SMC22307]

39. Just Googled... he was born in Taiwan. Didn't know that. (n/t)

6. Forest Trump

[mnmoderatedem]

25. Forrest Trump. Had never thought of that.

You know what they say about "stupid is"

[smirkymonkey]

7. Thank you Ted Lieu!

I really wish this guy could run for president. Still, I am just happy to have him on our side. He's an absolute gem.

[Native]

9. "National Idiot Forest Trump" OMG - this is the best! Thank you!!!

[democrank]

12. Ted Lieu is my kind politician.

He doesn’t have to test which way the wind is blowing because he leads with his values. He’s straightforward and doesn’t seem to worry what folks with an opposing view might think of him.

[Skittles]

15. agreed

it's why I liked Beto too

[democrank]

17. I like Beto also.

He is gut-wrenching honest, a rare political bird.

[Beartracks]

24. I hope he stays in public service. n/t

[BigmanPigman]

14. Than doesn't that mean the Fed govt owes CA $$$

for reimbursement of all the fire fighting the state has paid for in the past?

[Arkansas Pilot]

16. Pattern to abuse of power

Couldn’t the house add the threat to cutoff off emergency funding to California to the articles of impeachment “pattern to abuse of power” to include?

Calls for Ukraine and China to investigate his political rivals
Restrictions on billions of dollars in federal disaster aid for Puerto Rico

[Evolve Dammit]

18. Thank you Congressman Lieu.

[llmart]

19. If everyone that lived there just grabbed a rake...

they wouldn't have to worry about forest fires.

[usaf-vet]

20. So Idiot Forest Trump has lots of experience with swing an instrument with his head down. Raking....

... should be natural for him. I would say a rake substituted for a sand wedge should work.

So HE should get out to HIS federal forest lands in CA. Clean the forest floor is his forest fire prevention plan. How long do you think it will take for him to have a reoccurrence of bone spurs making him 4F yet again.

[NCjack]

21. Good reply, Ted. Of course, Trump will just give a full-throat "FAKE NEWS."

[certainot]

22. trump i going with the line from 30 years of talk radio bullshit - that environmentalists

are stopping logging companies from 'thinning' (clearcutting) and getting into (exploiting, destroying) wilderness

dem politicians should be responding to the orange asshole with "that's what limbaugh says but it's bullshit" every time this motherfucker opens his mouth - because republicans everywhere but a few in the ciites know it

[warmfeet]

23. Please,

just get rid of this cancer. It hurts. I adore and love Ted Lieu, let's get rid of the cancer though. I'm not sure how much time we have left.

[dewsgirl]

26. One of my followers just sent me this same info., he is

Such a dumbass. I doubt he would even understand.

[still_one]

27. and that has been one of the major problems, they feds are supposed to maintain that

The fucking idiot in chief needs to have his ass sued for denying California aid

[Perseus]

28. I just wish they would stop referring to institutions, places as "Your"

The intelligence agencies ARE NOT HIS, the federal agencies ARE NOT HIS, the White House IS NOT HIS, anything that belongs to the people ARE NOT HIS.

I know that traditionally all of these have been attributed, for the time they hold office, to the president, the problem with the creature is that he does believe they are his to do whatever he wants.

They can be written differently, like "the federal agencies run by the administration you preside own...".

[Pluvious]

29. Remember, this is the twit that reference his ascension to the office...

... As "when I took over the Country."

We're just an acquisition to be wrung dry of what assets can be gleaned and extracted, while the getting was good.

Just smart bidness. Like Mitt Romney's company... Whatsitcalled.

He just scored a plump juicy one, it was his destiny.

We're just jealous suckers.

History will lump us all into one big batch of fools.

Sad, I know.

32. Wow, great map, thanks !! n/t

[orleans]

34. "please educate yourself" ....?????

he's asking way too much here.

who does ted think he's talking to? an intelligent, rational, reasonable person?

[mnhtnbb]

37. I love Ted Lieu, but asking 45 to educate

himself is really beyond expectations.

45's problem is that he lacks self awareness. He is completely incapable, because of his narcissism, of acknowledging that there is something he doesn't know.

[Marcuse]

35. Forest Gump was honest and innocent.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

36. Of course Donald Trump doesn't get it

Because he's dumber than a fucking rock.

[DonaldsRump]

38. I hope Ted Lieu is considering a presidential run at some stage

His down to earth wisdom, humor, and plain talk is unbelievable.

I learn so much through him, like this Tweet. I had no idea.

Great job, Rep. Lieu!
