Nope.

I learned a lot tonight.

Ronald Reagan started the fires.

a super majority is "bi partisan"

Can't wait to blame tornadoes, tropical storms and earthquakes on JFK and declare all abortion restrictions in Texas as "bi partisan"

LOL

-Who closed mental health hospitals in California? Three guesses, it wasn't Reagan

Don't take their security blanket from them.

They're so desperate to blame their problems occurring today they are willing to drag Ronald Reagan into it.

The only impeached president I voted for was Bill Clinton.

Just kidding

I never voted for Clinton.

-You're right. It's definitely democrats' fault.

Is that sarcasm?

Lock them up if you want to.

Just convince the legislators and the governor to agree and pay for it.

You have 1 party with a super majority and governor

What more do you need?

Good luck.

-Apparently you need more

Huh? What do I need?

I don't need anything.

You're the one crying you know so much.

"It's bipartisan"

clap clap

-Is CAPing home Insurance policies Liberalism?

Yes but I'm specifically talking about efforts to properly manage a fire dept and mitigation efforts towards prevention

-Is Eberly saying all the Lumpers here defending leadership aren't really defending Liberalism?

I'm saying they are defending liberalism but NOT the leadership.

The leadership will get skewered regardless

"For me, Raegan shutting down mental healthcare facilities will always be his legacy.

He really hurt society when he eliminated safety net for the mentally unstable."

1. What's the relevance?
2. If that mattered to Californians then your democratically elected government would have opened them back up sometime in the past 40 years.

"Dems have a supermajority but it's not their fault? Even a little? I wouldn't say that. They should share the blame."

The leadership deserves the blame.

Not liberalism.

It's a really really big fire ... ...

-California state politics going back to at least 1996.

I'm not doing anything.

If you think you know something ... ... then let's hear it.

I'll wait

-The brilliant folks ARE listening.

Do we even live in Pacific Palisades?

LOL

-Eberly..Republican cooperation is required to do anything

First of all, I'm not pointing the finger at Democrats for anything. I'm not blaming liberalism or progressiveism for any of this.

The Democrats have a super majority in the legislature in California, since you brought it up.

What cooperation do you need from Republicans to get something done?

I mean, is anybody anywhere actually listening to any climate scientists?

" ... .the disaster that climate scientists have been warning you about .."

Apparently the brilliant folks in California aren't listening to them either

-But it's not feasible economically.

Why not? California is heralded as the economic explosive juggernaut that it is.

But according to you, planning, an engineering is not economically feasible?

Again, why not?

"But looking at the actual causes is hard werk!

Easier just to blame them ebil democrats."

Lazy unintelligent people run to their safe space all the time here

-The incompetence of progressives is showing now.

I'm not naive enough to believe that if California voters were able to install conservative politicians that all these problems go away.

Or that any of them would change at all.

As it was pointed out earlier, it's a complex problem of a large magnitude.

Local and State government is rightly going to take some heat for this.

But neither you nor I can say with any confidence that political ideology or partisan agendas would change this situation.

I know I'm a bit of a broken record on this issue, but haven't environmentalists and climate scientists pointed to this area and said it was extremely vulnerable to wildfires like the ones occurring right now?

"This isn't a failure of interest or partisan gridlock -- it's the reality of human limitations against a massive, complex problem."

I agree with you completely.

But you might remember that the next time you're out screaming "red state, red state, red state red state"

217

Then why is rsty saying otherwise?

216

I been waiting for him to trot that out.

Lamp threw in the towel with his little quip. Done with that ------ for a while.

-California uses controlled burns,

I take no issue with how CA manages controlled burns.

That's not a retraction.

I never went there. Lamp deflected to how he is clueless about how state government works.

You saw it. You can see he's a moron.

If you genuinely get irritated at ignorance like you pretend to here then you would have bludgeoned lamp to death by now.

I forgive you
