There's always strings where money is attached, California can play hardball here too if it wants
Los Angeles On Fire
- Thread starter h-hawk
- Start date
How about we just burn everything to the ground so there can't be fires Trump?
Why shouldn't they? Why does CA deserve zero responsibility money? Especially since the fires are the result of their own democratic **** ups..
Why does Florida deserve the zero responsibility money ( and oh, by the way, when it comes to federal money, Cali is a giver, Florida is a taker)?
Have they done one goddamn reasonable thing to protect their coasts?
No. Insurance companies did. What they did was say "Build there, and it's yours to fix." Yet. the American tax payers have rebuilt America's Flaccid Penis many times.
Uhhhhh...what? I mean, I really appreciate that I'm in your head enough that when the two MAGA brain cells you've got fire off I'm the one that gets your panties in a bunch. But WTF you talking about broseph? I take it this is something that went on while I was gone? Sorry bruv, I didn't read back all y'alls rambling.
I see incompetent NewSCUM is allowing hurricane force winds again today.
It's sad he's getting all the blame for this...no amount of water could have realistically stopped this inferno.
Possibly, still reasonable to get questioned. That is part of leadership and having important roles. Taxes are paid for services and the expectation is that services are provided to the best of their abilities. Not everything can be planned for like you noted, but, blame is going to be placed when you are in a position of leadership.
California could have rules and policies in place to limit building homes and maintaining the vegetation.
The whole thing is awful and I feel for the people that lost their homes. Questions are always needed after events occur
Certainly, however in America in 2024, all people do is fight and blame the other side even if it's not their fault.
Some of you guys need to start using the ignore feature a bit more and stop wasting your time arguing with troglodytes. I promise, you won’t miss them.
Piece of shit humans....every FVCKING MAGA
Couldn't this screed apply to Florida and homes built on the coasts?
With the winds blowing 100mph embers were flying 4-5 miles and starting new blazes.
Please, tell the class how you prevent that? Are you suggesting that SoCal removes all vegetation within 5 miles of houses?
Or, you just want to limit housing? Aren't you all the same people who keep saying that we need to remove restrictions and build more houses so that prices drop?
It's amazing how CA went from too much red tape to not enough.
You’ve said you’re an anarchist and want the whole thing burned to the ground. You actually deny saying that?
Uhhhhh...what? I mean, I really appreciate that I'm in your head enough that when the two MAGA brain cells you've got fire off I'm the one that gets your panties in a bunch. But WTF you talking about broseph? I take it this is something that went on while I was gone? Sorry bruv, I didn't read back all y'alls rambling.
And just what conditions have been placed on them to receive federal aid?
Bruv. I searched my entire posting history back to 2018 for the word burn or a version of anarchy and outside of a couple joking ones that you’d have to stretch further than your mom’s legs to make fit - there’s nothing. So yeah. I’m denying saying that.
Your MAGA brain is broken dunce and you’re just wishing it was me because I’m so far up in your head.
Dunno. Speaker Johnson says he believes there should be.
Perhaps you should ask him.
But again, what conditions were put on Florida?
I'll try to find the YT video, think it was the "What's Going On In Shipping" contributor. He's a former mariner (obviously) but also a former firefighter.
He made the point that when winds are THAT high, all they can try to do is contain a fire on the sides...for one very good reason.
You try to make a stand and stop a fire getting pushed by that high a wind from in front of it, you will die because the wind drives the embers so quickly that before you know it the fire literally runs right over you.
There's literally is nothing they can do in that situation, it's impossible to stop something like that.
Or Louisiana?
Florida, Louisiana, Texas are the Big Three states historically when it comes to federal disaster funds.
Why is he even getting an audience with these guys?
You don't follow politics much, do you?
House Speaker Mike Johnson says conditions may be placed on federal aid to California amid catastrophic wildfires because of what he said are issues with local leadership.
-----------------------
Other high-ranking Republicans have called for conditions to be placed on federal aid given to California.
During a Sunday interview with CBS’ "Face the Nation," Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso of Wyoming blamed “policies of the liberal administration” for the large scale of the fires.
“I expect there will be strings attached to money that is ultimately approved and it has to do with being ready the next time because this was a gross failure this time,” Barrasso said.
Republican Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin said in an interview with Newsmax that he would not vote for aid “unless we see a dramatic change in how they’re gonna be handling these things in the future … These are decisions Californian Democrats have made … It’s their fault.”
I'm a pos human bc I think we're likely sending money to Ukraine for reasons other than the pure goodness of our hearts and bc Ukraine is our "friend"? Get help dude. You've got serious issues.
He prays for deadlier and deadlier pandemics all the time. Serious issues is right.
California should say **** it and secede. Watch trump flail without their gdp. We would fast track to a 4th world country quicker than we already are.
I agree. **** Mike Johnson. How many conditions were placed on Ukraine aid?
Aid that would be more suited going to the residents of Florida, North Carolina and California instead of some neonazi cokehead.
17% contained, Big winds coming in this afternoon. Unfortunately if the winds do hit 70mph they might lose containment.

Los Angeles Firefighters Dig In for Critical Battle as 70 MPH Winds Set to Kick Up Anew
"The worst winds are predicted today for late afternoon and into Wednesday," LAFD chief Anthony Marrone says The post Los Angeles Firefighters Dig In for Critical Battle as 70 MPH Winds Set to Kick Up Anew appeared first on TheWrap.
Righhttt.
Johnson’s long-awaited four-bill foreign aid package, for which text was released on Wednesday, includes aid to Ukraine, Israel, and the Indo-Pacific, all in separate bills. As part of the Ukraine bill, nearly $7.9 billion will be provided to Ukraine under the “Economic Support Fund,” and nearly $1.57 billion will be provided for “Assistance for Europe, Eurasia, and Central Asia” to Ukraine and other countries.
A breakdown of the package from the speaker’s office and House Appropriations Committee touts Ukraine aid as a “loan” and says the legislation “mandates agreement on repayment for economic support by the government of Ukraine.”
However, buried in the text is a section that stipulates that the president can cancel up to 50% of the loan after Nov. 15, 2024, with congressional review. After Jan. 1, 2026, any remaining debt can be canceled.
The bill itself, as well as the loan repayment, angered some House GOP members who believe the United States won’t see any money return.
“I think it’s a joke,” Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) said to the Washington Examiner. “They’re not gonna pay us any money. We’re gonna rebuild that country afterwards, probably, or part of it.”
He added that he thinks several House Republicans are going to vote for the Ukraine bill and use the loan to “justify it.”
Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) said in a post to X that the loan for Ukraine is “all smoke and mirrors” and blasted the president’s ability to cancel 50% of the loan by this November, adding that “no bank would allow this.”
