    No. It isn't. The current law is 750 for immediate assistance for ANY disaster. This is not all they will get if they qualify. This is to take care of immediate needs for cash. This does not include housing, repairs, etc. You can't be this stupid, can you?

    "Follow the money", followed by a tweet about Newsom wanting to replace opulent homes with apartments.

    Did I misread what you were driving at there? What did you mean?

    Maybe just say what you mean, rather than asking me to read another posted tweet from someone else and try to decode your intention.

    Maybe I did. Try reading. There is no tweet in that post.

    So your point was that Newsom would take the opportunity to replace these homes with apartments, not that this was a pre-arranged plan. I think it's pretty clear that the tweet you posted, slyly asking the reader to "draw your own conclusions", was implying intentionality. I'll take your word for it that this isn't what you meant.

    Yeah he likes to post these things. Kind of like all the Paul Pelosi hammer post "Just asking questions..."

    Someone might have a financial interest in all that happening. It might not be Newsom personally.

    There are sources and gov't doc to the facts I post. It is the truth. There is no source other than some random dude on Twitter that you can point to for your "facts"

    You have been caught time and time again posting falsehoods on here. So I don't know why you have trouble admitting when you are wrong. Because every sane person on this board, knows you post bullshit. And the only people who don't, are the ones who already buy into your bullshit posts. So really, you're wasting your time. Or your money because I seriously doubt you would invest the time to actually scan and post this **** to a basketball forum. What's it cost ya, $2/hr to pay some guy in Cambodia to do this **** for ya?

    You're missing the point, even in immediate need how much help does 750 bucks provide in North Carolina, not to mention California. It's like pissing in the ocean.

    Probably much more of a chance than you actually not being a gay or Muslim bashing hater, just because you say you have a gay for Muslim so called friend or employee. Why you share posts from so many bigots and racists if you aren't one?

    Do you think it is statistically likely that these three ladies were the most qualified candidates for these roles?

    Trump's dilemma? Well we know what choice he made.

    The organizational chart looks like this:

    [​IMG]


    There is a single fire chief. Happens to be a woman and happens to be a lesbian. Many years of experience, moving up the chain of command.

    There are many, many bureaus that make up the department. See the people that make up the leadership here:

    Organization | Los Angeles Fire Department

    Your posted tweet said "all three fire chiefs are lesbians". Someone decided to single out the female lesbians out of the many others in leadership positions within the department. I wonder why.

    That's a layup for him. Easy choice.

    I have no idea. Do you? Why does it matter to you? A woman who is lesbian had never been deemed most qualified in the history of the fire department. You don't think someone with 22 years experience in the department could be qualified for the job? One of them had 3 decades of experience and another had over 20 years experience. Neither you or I know how their experience weighed compared to other candidates. My point is that you always seem to point out stuff regarding someone's sexual preference or race, like they are not worthy. It gets old. Why are you so obsessed with that?
