Agree. As a democrat who grew up in North Carolina, the country really came together in empathy for those who lost homes and businesses. It's very sad to know that apparently the only real Americans are those who live in red states. Those in blue states don't merit our compassion.

Posters have been endlessly posting that California has the fifth highest GDP in the world which begs the question why were state and local budges so stretched that they could not accommodate battling the uptick in crime as well as the uptick in fires. It's like the rich uncle at Thanksgiving tries to borrow $2,000 from the relative who was hurt in an industrial accident and lives on SSI.

Watch videos of the winds and the fires. It isn’t a money issue or a water issue or a truck issue or any of the other bullshit you deplorables keep saying. It’s a series of crazy out of control wildfires spreading rapidly over a huge area. And guess what? Unlike all the MAGA states, California is not begging the federal government to pay for everything. California is just saying that if you don’t give a shit about California just STFU and stop telling lies that misinformation the public and undermine the response and relief.

The I guess California won't mind when GOP Senators make sure any fire aid to California will have strings attached forcing the state to improve its resilience.

As if Republican idiots in Congress know more than California about wildfire mitigation. Everything Republicans are saying is stupid and irrelevant to these fires. They are all dumbasses who can’t even pass a budget without Democrats saving their asses every year. Stop drinking the Kool-Aid. You are wasting your life worshipping these morons.

Answer: The State of California has to carry the dead weight in so many red states who are “net takers” from our treasury.

So yes, California kicks your state’s ass from one side of the room to the other in every conceivable economic measure, but doesn’t enjoy the benefit of calling upon that war chest in an emergency - ‘cuz they already wasted it on you.

You’re welcome, deadbeat.

I am not a professional firefighter but I have dealt with an over zealous outdoor grill or firework gone astray. In my vast experience of fire control it is easier to put out when it is small.
I have used a fire extinguisher, water and even stomped them out. I believe that is wild fire control 101 - react fast and contain before it turns into a Napalm like testing facility.

As for MAGA states - Louisiana is about as red as they come and I recall quite a bit of debate after Katrina about NOT rebuilding New Orleans as it was below sea level, and actually next to the Gulf of Mexico which is kind part of the oceans that are rising due to climate change.

Bashing leaders who fail their citizens does not make anyone MAGA or anything else....LA and California spend a lot of money on services of their choice that cost a lot of money - rethinking they may want to cut some of those services or raise taxes even more for better fire management is just logical, especially after this trainwreck display.

Please understand that Californians put out wildfires before they can spread all the time. They know how to do it. They are equipped and trained to do it. They put out wildfires in this same area two weeks ago. This time the winds were so insane that they were not able to stop the fires from getting out of control. Everyone with any role has been working nonstop through the whole fire season.

These aren’t Republican Congressmen. They don’t sit on their asses doing nothing all year except say stupid shit about things they nothing about.

Slow day reading Twitter?


You are going to lose your RWNJ mind when Newsom runs against Trump in 2028 and wins!

. He will only win if at the bottom of the ticket, and paired w/AOC. She is the real deal, and the future of the Dems.

More likely Newsome will lose his pretty boy mind when AOC wins the Dem primary and picks someone with brains to balance the ticket. Newsome won't be it.

The very last thing the pathetic Dem party needs to do is to lean on a politician from New York or California for their 2028 nominee. It would be as stupid as the GOP nominating a politician from Texas or Florida in 2028. This being said; anything can happen with these two awful parties and their moronic supporters.

Agree. Neither Californian politicians nor NYC politicians have any idea how to talk to most US citizens.

Crappy politicians aren't exclusive to New York and California. You can find selfish and worthless Dem and GOP politicians in every state.They are everywhere and stupid people keep voting for them.

No, it's a cultural thing. Both Californian and New Yorker politicians come across as arrogant to people from other areas of the country.

Huh?
Individuals/companies pay federal tax. We all pay the same no matter what state you live in. States tax at different rates.

Biden is an arrogant piece of turd just like Trump and he is from Pennsylvania/Delaware so again, not exclusive to NY and California.

Not sure what is so hard to grasp that the winds and bizarre drought/monsoon life is not the exception- it is the norm now.

Maybe issue every Californian a mobile high pressure backpack extinguisher that they have to wear at all times based on fire risk.

California funds crazier things - but maybe that is a start.

We get it - you don’t understand how California can be both (1) the 5th largest economy in the world, and (2) lacking in sufficient funding because that 5th largest economy in the world is burdened by having to cover the shortfall of red states who cannot carry their own water.

Not going to waste additional time explaining the balance of tax payments …

Yeah. Show me in the California budget where they pay federal taxes.

Income, business and excise taxes. Selling land and park admission sure. The states do not write checks to the federal government. How did you get out of 6th grade? Do your parents know you are still awake?
