B-Man

Tibs nears the bottom. Tiberius is going to repeat and repeat and repeat the same false theory that President Trump is crazy. Every thread. despite the fact that he started a specific (bonkers) thread to push it. Hell, he even changed his screen name of ten years to push it. Just let the poor man (?) rail and shout at the sky alone. Don't encourage him.

Russia Was Not a Democratic Hoax The Russia hoax continues By Scott Johnson The Russia hoax was concocted by the Clinton campaign with attorney Marc Elias serving as a cutout. They undertook the hoax with the full knowledge and assistance of the Obama administration, including CIA Director John Brennan, Vice President Biden, and Obama himself. The underlying documents were handed off to the press and the FBI, whose senior leadership then sought to surveil, sting, and depose President Trump in the early days of his first administration. The true story of the hoax would give us a key to the secret history of our time. The FBI won’t give it up without a fight. Working with the RealClearInvestigations outlet of the RealClearPolitics lineup, Aaron Maté reports that in response to a Freedom of Information request filed in August 2022, the FBI released a heavily redacted copy of the document that opened the probe of Trump as an agent of the Russian government. The FBI produced the document on December 31, over two years after RCI submitted its FOIA request. Speaking of cutouts, we can hypothesize that the FBI needed the time carefully to apply its scissors to the sensitive material. https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2025/01/the-russia-hoax-continues.php

L.A.’s Total Leadership Failure The city slashed fire and other basic services after Mayor Karen Bass awarded fat contracts to government workers. By Steven Malanga The devastating wildfires in Los Angeles have spotlighted questionable state and local government policies in California that may have contributed to the blazes and left areas like Hollywood vulnerable due to insufficient firefighting resources. Mayor Karen Bass’s budget cuts to the city’s fire department, enacted just months ago amid warnings about the city’s deteriorating finances, stand out as a striking example of misplaced priorities. The cuts stemmed from a budget crisis triggered by her administration’s decision to reward city employees with rich contracts and benefits—even as it dismissed worries that the reductions would hurt services. “Predictions that city services will be impossible to deliver,” deputy mayor Zach Seidl told the press, “are simply false.” Few public statements have aged as poorly—or as hauntingly—as this one. {snip} “The city is living beyond its means,” the editorial board of the Los Angeles Times noted at the time, adding that the problem was “self-inflicted.” For Angelenos hoping the city would invest in infrastructure—“smoothing busted sidewalks, fixing burned-out streetlights, trimming trees, or any other public improvements”—those hopes seemed unlikely to be realized. Critics also faulted the administration for how it handled union negotiations that led to the budget-busting contracts. Most of the talks were conducted in secret, with little public discussion of the costly perks included in the agreements until they were finalized. California’s latest bout of horrific fires will reopen debate about the state government’s failures to address a deadly problem. California’s decades-long resistance to boosting its water-storage capacity—what Victor Davis Hanson has described as “the scorching of California”—will face new scrutiny. The state’s land-management practices, which incoming President Trump has already criticized, will provoke more controversy. Los Angeles’s water-management system, lambasted by former mayoral candidate Caruso—formerly a commissioner of the city’s Department of Water and Power—for running dry in some neighborhoods during the current fires, will require new investment. Questions will linger, too, over how much difference the $17.6 million cut by Mayor Bass from the city’s fire department might have made. What is beyond dispute is that Los Angeles and the surrounding area have a long history of wildfires, including in recent years. That threat didn’t seem to be much of a priority in Karen Bass’s budget. https://www.city-journal.org/article/la-mayor-karen-bass-budget-wildfires

Fetterman hasn't abandoned his legislative priorities, but he has consistently approached his duties with a sense of representing the entire Pennsylvania electorate. Suddenly, that approach seems to spreading as the reverberations of a stinging presidential defeat continue. While some still plan to oppose Trump's agenda and nominees strenuously, the appetite among Democrats for La Resistance obstruction has waned considerably.

Goldman is another liberal fool.

It's not bad enough that Governor Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass neglected forestry management and water conservation for years, not bad enough Bass cut the fire department budget and jetted off to Ghana while her city burned, and not bad enough Newsom lies to the faces of Californians who have watched their world reduced to ash. On top of all of that, the state has to be a stickler for stupid rules when out-of-state fire departments come to render aid: .

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah. Non-lib media is evil. Lather, rinse, repeat. .

No. This is just another attempt at diversion from your own poor attempts You have no real interest in honest replies. Your history demonstrates no respect for other posters facts, just derision. * I am sure the response to this will be just as shallow. Meanwhile: Liberalism is a mental disease.

Wow ! He is completely out of ideas. Oh well, Back to the Inauguration thread. If what we’re hearing is believed, you might want to buy a neck brace - Trump will be entering the Oval Office at breakneck speed.

I am really amused by his lame attempt at diversion, since the last GOP mayor in LA was over 24 years ago. Let's see, you cannot defend what the dems have done over the past few decades that lead to this, so you try your "elementary school" response. What a surprise. .

LOL. Just can't stop doubling down on his stupidity. I think that Mr. Terrell said it best.

No answer answer about Trump's candidate ? LOL No problem for Frankish. . . . . . . . .. release the Squirrels !! "Maybe they will be diverted by my concentrating on something else" -- TFR
