    the reason Trump was elected is because the American people recognize that governmental overreach and bureaucratic red tape are an emergency :p

    I'll ask again to the Trump supporters here:

    -What is Trump's plan to fight natural disasters such as these wildfires out West?

    -As president of the United States does he have responsibility for all 50 states?

    -If Not, have you called your state Senator, and House member to encourage them to work with Trump to sell California, and other Blue States whose state policies are too woke therefore having no responsibility for supporting??

    -Will the US economy get better or worse without those pesky blue states???

    Ex-US attorney says Bass bears ‘ultimate responsibility’ for failures in fire response

    https://thehill.com/policy/energy-e...en-bass-los-angeles-fires-response-criticism/

    excerpt:

    Michel Valentine, former U.S. attorney, blamed Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass for what he described as failures in the local government’s response to the wildfires.

    “In my opinion, as a former prosecutor, this verges on criminal negligence. I say it’s just wrong,” Valentine said in an interview Tuesday on NewsNation’s “Elizabeth Vargas Reports.”

    “A lot of people are at fault,” he continued. “I think Mayor Bass bears the ultimate responsibility for this failure, and I think she should be held accountable. There’s no way that that I could trust her again as my mayor in light of this tragedy. There’s no way.”

    Valentine — who said he lives at the top of the Pacific Palisades, next to the ridge line where the fire broke out — described seeing the initial plume of smoke grow rapidly in size last Tuesday. The former federal attorney said his wife called 911, but it took nearly 45 minutes for a helicopter to respond and dump water on the fire.

    “I have no idea why that is,” Valentine said, responding to why it took so long to respond. “It could have been confined. It wouldn’t have touched any of the homes.”

    “You’re talking to somebody that’s been up in this community for 40 years, and I’ve seen fires. I’ve seen fires during those 40 years, and there’s always been a good response. I don’t know what happened this time,” he added.

    Trump is going to build the GREATEST fire blockade wall, and Mother Nature is going to pay for it.

    One doesn't have to live in SoCal for 40 years to know that SoCal fires strike during the hot summer months, when the Santa Ana winds get up to as strong as ~~ 40 - 50- mph,
    never in the cold winter


    so says the intellectually dishonest ex US Attorney, who conveniently ignores these factors

    • hurricane-like windy conditiorn, from 50 to 80 mph
      • SoCal has never experience this
    • plenty of vegetation grown over the past 3 years
      • attrubutable to abnormally higher level of rain
    • the untility co forgot to de-energize power equipments
      • may have provided the spark to ignite the fire

    I know you are playing some kind of game scooby doo. Nobody can be this dumb and obtuse. Will you be posting the same kind of nonsense a year from now? 5 or 10 years from now?

    Conservatives are too afraid to talk about natural disasters in Texas, Louisiana, and Florida and what conditions need to be met to keep paying out.

    You dumbass woke Democrat clowns done screwed up so badly in California. If you play the long games and have a few Republicans in your government. You could be blaming them Republicans right now for your F ups instead of being flocked by the public.

    Yeah, I don’t like him either. Not only is he a smug Cali ****, he’s the type of corporate nut-sucking D that just lost the election for the Democrats.

    I guess the pendulum hasn’t swung far enough right for the American people yet.

    Derivative, too forced. There’s no subtlety to R humor.
