You guys are harshing my buzz

Id just like one (1) policy suggestion from you instead of whatever it is you usually write that you think is so smug and clever

What’s this now? More outrage from the king of grifters, Ben Shapiro?What video is he taking wildly out of context?

1) Double fire department budget and fund mitigation efforts. 2) Incentivize construction of buildings more suitable to the climate such as concrete. 3) Require native species to be planted rather than costly and invasive eucalyptus and other kinds. 4) Roll back beef subsidies. The cattle industry uses more water than any other industry in the United States. what have the Dems done over the past few decades? Please enlighten me. Specific examples.

What would the GOP be doing differently? Why, I’m starting to get the impression that the GOP has no actual solution beyond whining and pointing fingers!

Okay so what would a GOP government do better in this specific situation? Besides whine and throw a tantrum like you, of course.

Maybe police wouldn’t need extra money if they didn’t have to keep paying settlements for their bad aim https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-08-22/protester-shot-by-lapd-projectile-in-2020-mulls-new-future-after-1-25m-settlement Excellent deflection from the topic at hand, though. Sort of like how you never answered yesterday’s question about what GOP policies would be more successful in fighting wildfires than what is currently underway.

Do you ever offer an actual argument or is this about it?

No, the police did not need additional funding at the cost of fire funding.

Is Soros in the room with us right now?

We used to have institutions for people like this! Guy needed a straitjacket.

Exactly. Should have been the other way around. Maybe the police can use their new “protest obliterator 9000 tanks” on the fires

They had no problem giving the stupid police more money. Why is that?

“given the circumstances” The architecture is all wrong for this area. The newer builds using concrete and metal roofs are surviving. The old 1950s bungalows built en masse are not.

Aristocrat specifically called out the chief as a DEI hire. I think they would have done a better job preparing for it if their budget didn’t get slashed. Further, there’s not a lot you can do when you have houses that are not built for this climate located next to invasive (and flammable!) eucalyptus trees in a desert climate. I think they are doing a good a job as they can given the circumstances.

What would you like them to do differently to fight these fires, specifically? This has nothing to do with the fire chief’s qualifications. I’m simply stomping @aristocrat’s claim that she was an unqualified DEI hire into the mud.

Insane conspiracy nut attempts to fight the law, this does not go well.

Crowley has been on the force for 22 years and has risen through the ranks from a firefighter and paramedic to Battalion Chief to Deputy Chief and so forth. Do you think they just handed the job to some Starbucks barista?

Why is the LA County fire captain automatically not qualified for the job then?

What term would you use for Trump’s multiple declarations of needing to annex Greenland for our “national security?” Go on, political scientist.

Here we go again automatically assuming that anyone not a WASP male is not qualified for a job. Incredible stuff. Also that person in the video you’re mad at is not the LA county fire chief, FYI. Maybe do a little research before you decide to get all hot and bothered?

Blaming “wokeness” for the fires is borderline parody at this point.

In which case you should be easily answer my yet-unanswered question - then what is the point of saber rattling that we’re taking Greenland?

Who is this? What relevance does this have to the situation at hand? “Why is a gay rights magazines writing about gay pride-related things??”

Then you’re even less politically literate than I initially thought One day you’ll give an actual counter argument. I believe in you!
