• Promised to increase economic growth by 4%; didn't achieve it, President Biden did
• Promised an infrastructure plan; had none, President Biden signed a massive one.

All the "evidence" they need is that the white nationalist maga movement hates seeing any minorities in positions of power and falsely conflates them as all being incompetent. They do accept TOKEN minority people as long as these TOKEN people express support for the overall maga movement which is at its core white nationalist. They are particularly very obsessed with fomenting ignorant violence inciting hatred towards transgender people. Authoritarian movements do need their scapegoats.

The truth is there are both competent and incompetent people in important positions of all kinds of descriptions. You can't generalize.

True, the burning is nothing new. What is different is the wind speed.

 

The strongest Santa Ana wind speed ever recorded was in December 2011, with an average wind speed of 156 km/hr, and gusts of up to 269 km/hr. The winds of the current fire were weaker, at a mere 100 km/hr, still faster than some people drive.

 

Given the convergence of fuel, house construction, dryness, and wind speed, there was nothing firefighters could do. Tripling staff, equipment and water supply would have ended the same way. P!ssing into the wind springs to mind.

 

How fast does the wind need to be before people acknowledge the climate is changing?

 

True, in this instance it's not Trump's fault. Neither is it the fault of Biden or Newsom.

 

In the broader picture, it IS Trump's fault. He's always been a climate denier, and has the same comprehension of science as an amoeba. That will carry over into his second term.

 

So foolish. How can today's wind speeds in California be Trump's fault? 

[Walker88]

I'm so happy the Fire-Man-in-Chief ("You're fired!") is going to be taking over. I have no doubt "Nobody knows more about fires than me (47)".

 

I am equally sure he has the "concept of a plan" to address fires in California, which might involved anything from sweeping forests to using nuclear weapons, as he wanted to do with Hurricane Maria.

 

No doubt if he had been in charge, those fires would have been too scared to burn and 100mph Santa Ana winds---driven by that Chinese Hoax called "climate change"---would have stopped dead in their tracks.

 

I'm going to guess his next grifting NFT will be him as a Fireman, or maybe Smokey the Bear. Astronaut, Fighter Pilot already....why not Fireman. Fahrenheit 47!

Obviously, you know more than the 95% of scientists who agree global warming and climate change result from anthropomorphic emissions of carbon dioxide.

 

Please list the sources of your knowledge. Do you have a B Sc., M.Sc or Ph.D in any of the applicable fields, such as meteorology, climatology, oceanography, or thermodynamics?

 

Or are you an acolyte of social influencers, such as Alex Jones or Jordan Peterson?

 

What is asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

 so-called climate change undoubtedly had nothing to do with these fires. 

Please parade your array of academic credentials which allow you to make such an authoritative statement.

 

What is asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

 

You don't get it, Lacessit.  Just as you dismiss assertions that the LA fires had nothing to do with climate change, due to lack of evidence, so too do any assertions that they were caused by climate change get dismissed for the same reason; lack of evidence.

 

Academic credentials be damned.  We've been witnessing the destruction of the U.S. in large part because it's been run in large part by academics .  Those folks are quick to say "common sense be damned."  Academics are not gods and are as fallible as any uneducated person.  That seems to be beyond your comprehension as you consistently put these people up on pedestals.

 

Anyway, the 2024 election showed that your views have been weighed and measured by the people and have been wholly rejected.  Tough titties.  It's high time for sane change.

It's about the people who believe in dumb azz ideas.  Since you claim that you're clueless as to what this post addresses then that's the evidence that you're one of those people.  No wake up call for you?  No five alarm bells ringing nonstop in your head?  Rose coloured glasses do that to people, I hear.

 

Dude, you mean to tell me that this uncontained fire and the massive destruction it's caused and is still causing - not simply the property casualty but the human suffering - has nothing to do with the policies of the woke California Democratic "leadership" in California  who control the state with an iron fist?  Now that's a dumb azz idea.

 

Calm down dear, calm down.

 

When you lack a reasoned response addressing points made you can always just deflect with a clever sounding sarcastic and meaningless response.  Libs are famous for using that tactic to take attention away from their own failings.

 

Dude, why not simply address the failures in policies and discuss how those contributed to the disaster?  At least responding rationally would be what any serious poster would do.  Is that too much for you?

Which begs the question......when these fires really started to kick off during Trump's presidency....what did he do about it?

 

Really?  These catastrophic fires began with Trump's first term?  Evidence, dude.  Show the evidence which makes your claim true.

 

But you see, there is no evidence that you'll come up with.  Because it doesn't exist.  It's the go-to leftist tactic.  Make false claims and incessantly insist they're true despite the utter lack of evidence.  And if asked to back up the claims then respond with ad hominem.

 

Dude, you folks have run this gambit so often that people eventually get hip to what you're doing.  No one believes you anymore.  That's now a problem for you.  You've lost all credibility.  And there's no way for you to regain it.

What was I saying about dumb azz ideas?

 

But, no, no, no.  Those dumb azz ideas did nothing to contribute to this travesty.  There were no steps or actions that anyone could possibly have taken to prevent or mitigate the fires.  Honest.  Hey, it was simply nature being nature and we humans just can't do anything about that.  We're totally helpless creatures thrust into an uncaring and unforgiving world and must simply accept our lot.

 

And then people are astounded that Trump got re-elected.  LOL  Dumb azz ideas create lots of pain and folks are fed up with leftist dumb azz ideas.  So they voted for someone who wants to move away from all of these dumb azz ideas and implement ideas that actually work.

Well, it's obvious the liberal, progressive Dem policies utterly failed.  I doubt anyone could do worse.

 

In any case, to keep yourself on topic do you have any comment on what those failed policies were and how they could be changed?  Or are you limited to only trashing Trump?  As if that's being helpful during this crisis.

They've left because they can't bring themselves to admit they were wrong.  So they continue to repeat their invalid ideas to themselves in private, in an endless effort to convince themselves that the lies they've accepted are indeed true.

 

The ones that remain are the hardest of the hardcore.  True staunch believers in the lies they believe are the truth.  Yet even they realise deep down that they can't convince others any longer.  It's hopeless for them but still they persist.

So there were no LA fires during Trump's term in office?

 

 

 

2017

• Skirball Fire: Burned in December 2017 near the Bel-Air neighborhood of Los Angeles, causing property damage and evacuations.

• La Tuna Fire: In September 2017, this fire burned in the Verdugo Mountains near Burbank and was one of the largest wildfires in Los Angeles history at the time.

 

2018

• Woolsey Fire: In November 2018, this fire started in Ventura County and spread to parts of Los Angeles County, including Malibu. It caused significant destruction, burning nearly 97,000 acres and destroying over 1,600 structures.

• Hill Fire: Occurred around the same time as the Woolsey Fire and affected areas in Ventura and Los Angeles counties.

 

2019

• Getty Fire: In October 2019, this fire burned in the Brentwood area of Los Angeles, prompting evacuations and threatening homes.

• Saddleridge Fire: In October 2019, this fire burned in the San Fernando Valley, destroying homes and forcing thousands to evacuate.

 

2020

• Bobcat Fire: Burned in the San Gabriel Mountains in September 2020, becoming one of the largest fires in Los Angeles County history. It burned over 115,000 acres.

• Lake Fire: Burned in August 2020 in the Angeles National Forest, destroying several structures.

 

Trump’s administration faced criticism from California officials over disaster response and funding.
