Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Oh the one hand: "kitchen fire" makes it sound like like an unserious stovetop mishap vs a fire that happened to manifest in the kitchen after a lightning strike. Pretty disingenuous but it's NYPost so not surprised
On the other: Whinging about how you nearly lost your classic sports car in a fire to people whose lives have been at worst destroyed or at best irrevocably altered is not a good look Brandon. Not doing much to beat the "out of touch Dem" allegations
As well as lying about almost losing his wife, to a crowd that may well contain people who just lost loved ones
Me explaining to a shooting survivor who lost friends that my buddy got shot in a COD match right in front of me and it's basically the same thing
It's not a great look, particularly when you recall he has other firefighter involved events to reference
