Wow, I did not know Little Bobbie's kneejerk support of Democrats and lefties extended to ones that were terminally stupid. He is in a cult.

The Los Angeles fire chief a few months ago told the mayor that they had only half the resources they needed to respond to a serious wildfire. Instead of bolstering those resources Mayor Karen Bass wrote a memo calling for a further $49 Million cut in the fire department budget on top of the $17.6 million she had already cut. Anyone who tries to defend that is plain bonkers. That would be Bonkers Bob.
The fire chief may be a DEI hire, but she still has more sense than the dumb-as-a-brick mayor.

It looks like the people of LA think the same way I do. Over 100,000 of them have signed the petition calling for the resignation of that incompetent mayor Karen Bass.
Competent leaders DO plan to be prepared for these fires. They have their resevoirs full, not empty in fire season. They maximize available water by utilizing dams, not blowing them up like the Democrats have done. They properly fund their fire departments, not leave them with half of the firefighters they need and over half of their fire trucks not available because they need repairs. They properly fund and carry out brush clearance, not do only 12,000 of the 90,000 acres Newsom promised. They pre-deploy fire trucks and firefighters to vulnerable areas when there is a weather period of high fire danger, not fail to do it because the city has cut their budget and they do not have the money for the overtime. The owner of the Los Angeles Times has admitted he made a big mistake in endorsing the incompetent Karen Bass for mayor. but Bolshevik Bob, our woke troll, will never shy away from backing these awful incompetent politicians.

Events like this are such that few planned for it. Don’t be so hard on them. It can, and will happen in BC. We are one Cat 5 hurricane from looking just like LA.
When that happens, If you like, I’ll be happy to spit in your face so you can see how it feels when your trailer is knocked off its blocks. Maybe then we can hold up help to see if you built in a flood plain or ignored climate change and endangered your community. Maybe we count the women and black first responders so we can say minorities are not up to white men. Cheers!

The people of Los Angeles ARE suffering BECAUSE Newsom, Bass, and other Democrats decided to play politics instead of properly governing. Any federal recovery resources should not be pissed away by being put into their hands. Federal resources that go DIRECT to victims, of course, should not be held up for what local politicians did, only funds that those same politicians may screw up with again.
One clear example of how these corrupt Democrats are playing politics is that while the fires are still burning, they have a special legislative session to appropriate $50 million to fight Trump politically but not a dime for firefighting or fire victims. If there is any clear example of playing politics, that is it.

So, Bozo Bob, in your view it is only "MAGA" that expects government to properly fund and staff their fire department, to have the resevoirs full and ready to go in fire season, to properly deploy their fire fighters when they is extreme fire danger, to properly manage forests to reduce fire danger, to not have over half the city's fire trucks laid up for lack of repairs, to call a local emergency in a timely manner to get federal resources involved early, and to hire firefighters on their qualifications to do the job rather than some political standard. To most of us those are common sense standards that all state and local governments should be held to.
Assistance to individuals impacted should not be held to standards they individually were not responsible for, but assistance to the governments which screwed up should be held to standards that they will function properly in the future.

Stan - Any federal funds channeled through any government unit in California must be very tightly restricted so it is not wasted by these morons. Once Trump gets some solid leadership at FEMA, maybe that is the way to route the money, but certainly not with the clowns running FEMA now. For example, they need more fire stations and trucks. Money can be specifically allocated to those purposes. There should be requirements that all wasteful and unnecessary local spending, like DEI, be eliminated. If there is local money thrown away on unnecessary crap, why should federal taxpayers pay for anything? Rebuilding money ought to be conditioned on removal of the burdensome regulations. If federal taxpayers are helping foot the bill, they should not be paying for unnecessary state or local government red tape and bureaucratic delays.
Thankfully, Speaker Johnson has already stated that restrictions need to be put on any federal assistance to prevent local waste, which the California dingbats are notorious for.

I agree. Before any disaster aid is issued to any state a full investigation is warranted to see if political leaders did anything not to the MAGA standard of stupidity.
If it takes a few weeks or months, so be it. The victims can wiat while it’s sorted out. MAGA- to sick to govern.

All of these details must be known before federal dollars are to be allocated to the sinking ship of California.

Los Angeles has 183 fire trucks. At the time of the wildfires, 100 of them were unusable awaiting repairs. This due to Mayor Bass' budget cuts.

Now it is the LA Firefighters union blasting the incompetent city officials. In the past trucks and firefighters were pre-deployed in danger areas when Santa Ana winds caused extreme fire danger. They were not pre-deployed this time because that would have required overtime pay, which the department did not have in its budget due to Mayor Bass' budget cuts.

Removing all California Idiots making decisions that involve the People's treasure would go a long way towards my increased interest in California receiving federal funding.

Newsom and Bass have badly failed the people of California and Los Angeles and need to go. Hopefully they will both be recalled and removed from office.
