Looters now moving in--probably ILLEGALS--because they know they won't be arrested >

Well said. I'll just allow that Phenom may not be an idiot in the traditional sense of the term. I suspect he has some sort of diagnosable condition. Something related to his obsessions (obviously currently Elon) and inability to moderate, he's seemingly always full bore. A clinical evaluation could be Phenomenally Fascinating.
Think he gets paid
I find that hard to believe. If anything he does a disservice to all of the things he posts about by doing it in such a lunatic and slavish fashion. I'd bet it's either a diagnosable condition, or just sort of an 'off' guy, with few in person connections, possibly incel, only sense of belonging is online, typical conditions that make one vulnerable to online radicalization.
Blah, blah blah. Snails and puppy dog tails, the great Orange Jeebus will be in charge of the whole shitshow then your excuses will be unending as our country wallows in its own stupidity. I’m popping popcorn already.
Thank you for admitting President Trump will be handed an absolute shit show on 20 January he has to clean up!
I lived in Topanga Canyon in the 90s. It was us and our landlord on 7 acres of land. I spent the summer of 93 performing brushwork all over the property, which was what saved all structures during the October wild fires.
Now you understand why Bonespurs has chosen to only be the president of the states that voted for him. Literally any state that didn't carry for him is going to see zero from him. That's how horrible of a leader he is. I keep seeing all the maga cult whine about he's 'your' president... he's 'your' president. Until he acts as the president for the whole country, and not just the cult driven states, I guess then I don't have to claim him as my president. I'm happy to not do it.
Wife was mapping in '97. The conclusion was basically 'someday all this will burn and there's not a damn thing that can be done about it, plan your evacuation now.'
Looting will always be part of these types of deals.. doesn’t matter who is in charge, republicans or democrats… Looters are POS scumbags.
Meh, he's a MAGA dumbass but his recounting of events on CBS was awful. I'm guessing that they'll be finding bodies in houses up there for weeks.
From an outsiders perspective it sure seems like CA has been mismanaged particularly when it comes to water supply.
It wasn't long ago it was CA is effed bc of the droughts. Then in late 2023 early 2024 it was major flooding... and that cycle has been repeated for decades.
Time to actually do something like this on a grand scale?

Looters? If people are trying to loot in these areas the problem will take care of itself.
I was taught at a young age it takes an exceptionally shitty human to take pleasure in the suffering of others. Congratulations.
We absolutely need to recharge groundwater, but that has nothing to do with water being available to fight fires.From an outsiders perspective it sure seems like CA has been mismanaged particularly when it comes to water supply.

We've already damned up all but a single river in CA. But our rain comes in a few short months, so it's tricky balancing collecting enough water vs having storage for flood protection. We routinely get a bulk of our rain in the last few months of winter. Store too much early water and you have no ability to mitigate a flood event. Store too little and you risk the chance of no late storms filling up the system.
Like most things in the real world, it's hard. The reservoirs in socal that store water from norcal are mostly full right now, but you don't run a fire hose directly to the lake - you pump it to tanks all across the basin. In an event as crazy as this those tanks get depleted quickly and have a hard time being refilled as the system is stressed to insane levels.
So James Woods high school in Quahog could soon be in memory of James and not just in honor of him?
Don't miss the putt short there Menace. Are you actually celebrating a person's home burning down?
But I’ll just keep that “credible report” source a secret..and will just assume it is all illegals…
All looters are opportunistic. Otherwise, they'd just be regular old burglars.
I like that out of all the posts in this thread, this is the one you call out for being insensitive
California’s hoped-for socialist utopia turning into a socialist nightmare. What a complicated mess. Drought/flooding. Environmentalism. Greedy insurance companies. Makes Iowa’s toxic air, land and water seem not so bad. 🫣

Several years ago, when visiting Spain, I toured the bridge at Ferreres, built by the Romans during the reign of Augustus and located north of the Mediterranean city of Tarragona — a spectacularly preserved 250-meter-long segment of a 25-kilometer-long aqueduct. This ancient imperial construction underscores that water supply has always been fundamental to the establishment and prosperity of cities — and that water infrastructure, necessarily large-scale and sturdy, is often one of the most durable legacies of vanished civilizations. Roman engineering was indeed a marvel. The gravity-fed aqueducts of Rome supplied hundreds of thousands of citizens (in a city with high standards of personal cleanliness) with more than 250 gallons per person per day — more than some of America’s desert cities can feasibly provide today. And the Roman water-delivery system was so extensive that few inhabitants lived more than 50 meters from a water outlet. 23
Two millennia later, many ancient Roman aqueducts remain serviceable (after some retrofitting). Operating with no external energy requirements, these brilliantly engineered channels functioned for centuries; in most cases they were vulnerable only to seismic activity — and eventually, of course, to conquest. But despite modern materials and engineering methods, the water delivery system of the American West is comparatively ephemeral — for the sole reason that it depends so heavily on energy. We have built major cities in response to the engineered availability of water, and we did so in an era when energy was cheap and apparently plentiful. But ultimately the price of energy might be as destructive to our public water supplies as invading barbarians were to Rome’s.

Commentary: These are the key conflicts in California's ever-evolving waterscape
How California's water supply is divvied up over the next few years could mean shifting resources from farmland to urban use and environmental enhancement.

I can confirm. I’m looking at it right now. Fire crews are trying to aerial drop fire retardant, but keep missing their target due to the high winds. Multiple neighborhoods have burned to the ground. My buddies’ widows house burned down, it’s a sh*t show for sure and nowhere near being contained.
James Woods is the loud mouth maga that supports this right?

But sure, great idea!
Lol at you just ignoring what your ilk is saying (@Phenomenally Frantastic, & @Here_4_a_Day & @Scruddy). Get off your fake high horse you little bitch.
I like out of all the posts in this thread this is the one that bothered you.
My horse is neither fake nor high. Show me some posts of yours calling out lefties being aholes and maybe I'll take you seriously.
