"Even the last criminal moron republican president didn't blackmail New Orleans after Katrina, even though he hated black people."

The last president did, why would Biden do that?

Seriously, how do you magat scum sleep at night?

My guess is their policies didn't create this disaster.

The real question is why do you defend it? When tonite Newsom is bragging about all the fires that started today and he personally put out.

Why is he doing this? Because he can't sleep at nite knowing the damage he's caused due to his lack of leadership

Seems reasonable.

I have noticed the have moved away from comfy chairs and seating I recall in University.

Today there's a local Starbucks, the moved from indoor seating and bathrooms, to only outside seating and no bathrooms.

Sad America allows its decay.

That's how bad it's gotten.

These a horrible sound bite questions. Its a serious position, people should ask serious questions.

For instance the US Navy has more Admirals than active warships.

Should the US build more warships, or fire more Admirals?

Here's why

US Gov received $317 billion in revenue on taxes (ignore the social security and unemployment insurance money,)and paid $140 billion in debt servicing on the national debt.

About 44% of all revenue went to debt service.

Notice the increase? Probably not because you don't care right now about whats going to happen.

I thought there were more Trump loving republicans in California than anywhere else.

Republicans didn't win.

@#13 ... Exchange? When has the federal government ever needed an exchange in order to provide federal assistance to a state hit by a natural disaster? ...

Exactly.

Ukraine.

The White House has asked Congress for a supplemental funding bill that adds money to FEMA's depleted Disaster Relief Fund (DRF). The request will also include billions in new funding for military aid to Ukraine in its battle against Russia. The intent of the request is to put Republican politicians into a corner, forcing them to choose between their support for hurricane victims and their opposition to sending additional taxpayer money to Ukraine.

So the Army seems to be changing its recruitment policies, and that resulted in more recruits?

You think 18yos are paying attention to Army recruiting policies?

Trump effect.

They also probably know they won't be going to war.

" So, Pres Biden was subject to the deal that then fmr Pres Trump negotiated (surrendered?)?"

I recall north Carolina people saying the same thing.

Sad US government is playing --- for tat.

Oh well.

If your ancestors were white supremacists, the blood is on their hands. What were your parents, Visitor?

Like I said probably Democrats, and some Republicans.

But not Trump, apparently.

That point is not covered in their history books.

When does it end?

There's infinite items not in history books.

Trumpy bill sign a bill to slow down recovery for victims of the LA fires just as soon as he can!

It won't matter it will still go to court, its not federal land.

You really don't understand the issue do you.

Sam Darnold is a free agent after this season.

Guess my prediction was wrong.

Thats too bad for the Vikings, good news for the Jets.

Here's another strange thing ..

In 2019 Democrat assembly HALTED a fire safety project in Pacific Palisades to replace wooden electric poles with steel ones, and the installation of wind and fire-resistant power lines.

Why?

Because an "amateur botanist" complained that utility workers were trampling too many Braunton's Milkvetch, a perennial herb in the pea family.

Yet, the plants the botanist was concerned about were destroyed by the recent wildfires anyway.

Wild...

Crews for the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power recently bulldozed hundreds of federally endangered plants in Topanga State Park, and both state and city authorities have launched investigations into DWP's actions, part of a wildfire prevention project aimed at replacing 200 aging wooden power poles with steel ones.

That was THEN and this is NOW.

Thats what people claimed about the Columbus statues said too.

You forget that many Democrats in the South were Dixiecrats that switched to the Republican party.

So those Republicans too, so we have all Democrats, and some Republicans have blood on their hands

The Northern Democrats not so much.

So not Trump?

I thought I saw inflation was going to his 4.9%

#15 Is this the greater fool theory?

Why do Americans continually drag up things like this to divide the nation further?

It seems odd, everyone admits its a horrible event, yet it gets drudged up every know and again like picking at a scab, really doing no one any good.

It was a tough one for him. Its fortunate or unfortunate as a Vikings fan to have JJ in the back ground, without him Darnold would be sitting pretty.

I predict the Vikings will trade Darnold to the Steelers, or back to the Jets.

Here some facts.

Prior to 1800, California lost an average of about 4.5 million acres to fires every year.

As scientific land management and fire suppression. measures were introduced, that dropped to around 250,000 acres a year by the end of the 20th century.

But in 2020 California lost 4.3 million acres to wildfires in a single year. Between 2019 and 2023 the average was about 1.5 million acres a year.

Going as planned I'd say.

This is a hilarious article, my neighborhood is still under one day a week (Wed) watering rationing rules, just started 1 year ago, previously was on 2 a week since after COVID. Record rains for 2 years in a row, and rationing is worse. Go figure.

I spend $240 a month on my water bill. Only $20 of which is actually water.

State is in disrepair, but being paid as a State employee, Or a PUC is a great job.

I wrote more on the thread about Elon being Evil & a racist, I don't think he is...

idk if he's racist or evil, but he's sort of a phony as far as I can tell. I have wondered since I am a SWE and heard him talk about it.

Then I saw this ....

I'll let bellringer answer. You can't even do it right for yourself.

You can't even read a budget Alex, you cut and past narrative generators.

So idk what this is, but certainly its part of the issue:
- An illegal immigrant was arrested by citizens lighting xmas trees in the trash on fire, not the police.
- He was already on probation, meaning he had already been arrested before the LA Fires, by the police.
- During the LA fires, he was caught near a fire, with a blowtorch.
- He's not being charged by the police with arson due to lack of "probable cause".
- He won't be deported because of California's sanctuary laws, and most likely will just be released back into the city.
- Yesterday, Gavin Newsom committed close to $50m of taxpayer money to protect illegal immigrants from deportation.

People here claiming drone pilots should be executed.

What about an arsonist, whats the rational to let him loose out on the streets AGAIN?
