seems we need a page to chat this over vs hijacking.
so we got hawaii fires now the cal fires.
cal used to let ranchers cattle eat the under brush worked
pretty well. so they got rid of it. took a bunch of money away
from fire department. the ins co's seen it coming and refused
renewals. mayor was in africa for some reason. did not have
water for hydrants. quite the clusterfuck.
but FEMA has $700 loans and some bottled water to make it all better.
irony in a way, the poor get burned out in hawaii and the rich in calf.

The $700 Critical Needs Assistance payment was a GRANT, not a LOAN and doesn’t need to be payed back…it was also just the first of many different financial assistance opportunities…..you might want to seriously consider where you get your news and talking points.

Cattle not eating underbrush, lack of funds .. it is to laugh.

In a lifetime the mean surface temperature of the planet has raised two degrees Celsius. Thus a hotter more energetic ecosystem.

water infrastructure needs upgrading immediately starting with places which are threatening to burn down

Sorry to hear about the fires. We have our fair share of bush fires here. It's one of the most dangerous things about living in Australia (no, it's not the deadly crocodiles, snakes, spiders, jellyfish, ants etc).

And it's only getting worse as forests dry out due to climate change. Some parts of the planet are getting hotter and drier. Some are gettig more tropical.

Humans are so dumb. We blame everything on everything. Except ourselves.

Plenty of humans blame things on humans.
Isn't that what the whole Climate Change debate is about?
The stupidity lies in the fact that once they've formed their opinion, they are reluctant to examine any evidence to the contrary.

I posted Trump's own words showing the president elect's way of dealing with a crisis, a TEST both in empathy and solutions immediate and extended.
No you didn't...you posted bullshit trying to spin the failure of Cali Dems.

Seems Gavin has called a special congressional session to sue the future Trump administration...
...but nothing for the fire, despite numerous incompetencies pointed out...



He talks shit aboot Trump (just like you), and then has the balls to ask him to visit before he's even in office...



...It was painful to listen to this incompetent prick.
And it's not just Gavin, the overwhelmingly Dem congress who look like fools when the press asks simple questions...



And apparently Gavin did get ahold of Joe, but rather than address the actual problem...
...they focus on what can be done to limit the political fallout it's causing...



But wait, what's this?...Gavin wants an investigation as to why there was no water...



The mayor looks like an idiot...

0:45-3:00


The mayor shares her "thoughts and prayers", but no actual plans...



The owner of the LA Times said the Palisades reservoir was empty and offline...
...and questions the competence of civic leaders...



Democrat darling journalist Bari Weiss reports the incompetence...



Even Elon knew...

0:40-2:20


A great example of a DEI hire...



Let me get this straight...
...the top three positions in the LAFD are lesbians?...



:roflmao:
Play stupid games...win stupid prizes. :facepalm:

But not to worry the FEMA administrator (another DEI hire) says LA officials were "very prepared" for this...



:crazy:

The media reported the equipment was sent...
...but the DoD said Cali officials have not requested it yet...



No homes, no rentals, no hotels/motels for these displaced folks to live...



...Do you think the immigration failure made this better?...or worse?
...How will this affect Cali's homeless failure?

Newsom to suspend permit process and is asking for solutions for building needs...

2:15-3:00


Incompetence run amok all around...
...and your TDS addled brain says Trump's to blame.
:roflmao:

Keep digging your hole deeper...
...too stupid to realize your just helping Trump. :facepalm:

No one here is blaming Trump for the fires.

We are laughing at him though for his opinion and solutions to the problem in California.

Your "solutions" in California are quite evident.
