Yo VZ! may the bluebird of paradise make his home in your credenza. Most likely neither Biden nor Kamala are going to president before long. Proof positive that there is a god. Bonus points for getting rid of Trudeau.
Yes… so the California National Guard was called up and has been assisting since Wednesday. Why are all the MAGA freaks complaining that Newsom and Biden are not doing anything if the National Guard and all the other resources are already in place. Sounds like the MAGA idiots have a screw loose. Of course, Trump simple spends his time insulting Newsom and implying that all Californians deserve to burn to death. Trump is so “presidential”.
Heh. The forum's Baghdad Bob shows up to tell us that everything is fine. Biden and Newsom are in charge. Meanwhile it is like Mad Max. How years of corruption and mismanagement led to LA running out of water in the middle of the Palisades wildfire https://nypost.com/2025/01/08/us-news/how-la-ran-out-of-water-in-the-middle-of-the-palisades-fire/ .
I will just note that Fox News had an urban planning facilities expert on yesterday who stated that every single major city in the U.S. would run out of water within hours if they were fighting a fire the size of the one in Los Angeles. Water systems in cities were designed with hydrants and available water to fight a few building fires, not huge wind-driven forest fires. No city is going to overbuild their water systems to the level needed to fight large scale fires -- overbuilt water systems would be hugely expensive and likely only used once in a hundred years at most. In regards to the corruption in LA and the cuts in the fire department budget -- these are fair to criticize. However -- as outlined by many experts -- diverting water from northern California to LA (like Trump keeps outlining) would not have made a bit of difference in fighting this fire - unless the plan including upgrading LA's water infrastructure at a cost of over 10 billion dollars to make it the only one in the U.S. with the capacity to fight a large-scale wind-driven forest fire. Trump's narrative is a political nothing-burger.
No doubt. Most large American cities are run by Democrats. If you told me that Chicago would run out of water in a fire, I would definitely believe that. Even though one of the great lakes is just down the street. LA has a water shortage problem but that should be one of the reasons why they put more emphasis on fire prevention measures. How many fucking times are we going to prove that they need to do major brush removal and controlled burns and stop development in areas that are beyond capacity of a fucked up city to support.
Yes... California has a need to do brush removal and implement other fire prevention techniques. Something the state has been badly delinquent in doing -- because they didn't want to spend money on it. The Democratic state legislature in Sacramento thought spending money on fire prevention would only help those rural wooded Republican counties -- so for many years they failed to spend the money. Now the chickens have come home to roost as the lack of spending in fire prevention is causing the homes of wealthy people in a very blue area to go up in smoke.
Let the lefties have their little fun. Case will be overturned on appeal and that will complete the legacy of the vast, vast lawfare against Trump- with lefties losing everything. Including power in DC for a long time to come. And yes, the next impeachment of Trump is already well under way. It's what the lefties do and they are hard at work at their next plan to lose the midterms. Go for it. Russia, Russia, Russia, no man above the law unless he is a Biden, blah, blah, blah. whatevah. Trump to endure embarrassment of criminal sentencing after last-ditch Supreme Court appeal fails https://www.cnn.com/2025/01/10/politics/trump-sentencing-embarrassment-analysis/index.html
Trump's New York hush money case will not be overturned on appeal. The appeals court in New York State has made it pretty clear that they support the sentencing. Nor will Trump have any support from the U.S. Supreme Court in overturning the conviction of a state court -- something the Supreme Court made very clear in the past 24 hours. Trump will be wearing the label "Convicted Felon: when he returns to the White House. A label he will wear throughout his second term and the rest of his life. Furthermore the Trump is likely to be convicted again in the election fraud case in the state of Georgia court -- there is no way he can use federal power to avoid prosecution in a state case. In a further embarrassment, an appeals court has stated that Jack Smith can release his full report on the Trump investigation -- it is likely to come out before his inauguration.
Are you sure the bloated orange menace will not succumb to health issues in less than four years? He seems to be less healthy than Biden.
