California Burning

[Jason]

He's the one that says he can easily fix it.

Whether he can or not can be debated if that's the idea here. But he's on record months ago listing all kinds of preventative measures that are not being taken and saying California is extra susceptible to catastrophe if they continue to ignore these things. They continued, California burns.

[Headhunter]

I'm sure the firemen adore Trump calling efforts incompetent and questioning what's wrong with them, why can't they just put out these easy fires.

If we're gonna go that route I'm entirely certain that if you ask every fireman that isn't an put of shape DEI lesbo what they thought of Trump and what he said, 99.9% would agree with him.

You really think his comments were aimed toward firemen? You genuinely believe that?

Why are you pretending to know what thousands of firefighters think to try to score online political points?

You really think the vast majority of firemen do not support Trump. Do you really genuinely believe it's even close? It's not.

You’re being incredibly disrespectful and you don’t have a clue what you’re talking about.

Agree to disagree.

How many LAFD firefighters do you know personally?

Anecdotal and irrelevant. But I know one.

No it’s very relevant actually.

I know two. One is a Democrat, one is a probably slightly right leaning centrist, more Libertarian. They’re both white guys, not “out of shape DEI lesbos”. Neither like Trump. Obviously I know the only ones in LAFD, right?

Occasionally it might be good for you to have the humility to acknowledge you don’t know what you’re talking about instead of trying to win a stupid argument all the time.

To be fair to myself. I am often on here more than anyone acknowledging that at the end of the day I largely don't know shit and have to use my own judgment to the best of my abilities. Not surprised that went unnoticed, tbh.

Anyway, here's this. The IAFF polled around 300,000 of their union firefighters to see who they preferred in 2016. The results are overwhelming. I doubt they shifted for Kamala.






Not that it really matters who they like or don't like. The idiots in California are fully responsible for not taking ANY preventative measures to ensure a wildfire doesn't get so out of hand that the entire city is gone. But here we are. And we're in this thread whining about Trump again.

And the 50% who don’t just suck Trump’s dick while he shits on them (that’s even assuming all of them wouldn’t take issue with his ignorance and that’s not true) are all fat DEI lesbos, right?

[Reign in Blood]

You know where the Don can help? Use all of his real estate "expertise" to cut the bullshit here. The Rebuild is gonna take longer than all of our lives. Here you need Permit to remove debris. Permit to start construction. Engineering approval for new structure. HOA approval for structure. Environmental study. City/county approval for new structure. Permit for the homeless to stay in your home. Study to make sure no ants will be harmed during construction. Permit for the toxins from Newsom's hair gel. It's fucking redick. The Don can help that, yeah no?

Twisting his words to imply they were directed toward the firefighters is totally disingenuous.

Also, no. Not all who voted against Trump are fat DEI lesbos, however, all fat DEI lesbos likely did not check the Trump box (imo).

If the rumors are true, Gavin is already working with developers to design apartments where all the beautiful homes are currently ashes. So there's that. If that is indeed true, I think that any outrage should be directed that way as opposed to twisting words of a statement from another guy who bears zero responsibility and actually laid the blueprint of preventative measures that were not taken by Gavin or any other politician in L.A.

Actually I would guarantee a much higher percentage of lesbian firefighters would vote for Trump than the general population of lesbians. Through my work I have met plenty of gay people in law enforcement, most of them lesbians. It’s probably pretty close to 50/50, maybe 60/40 blue with their politics. There is really a lot more nuance to this stuff than you believe.

Nah. I would probably agree with that.

I ain't twisting jackola. No idea how to put them out. Trump does. Where is it?

Unless you're wealthy, you can easily be stuck here.

I have three family members who live in SoCal. All three are multi millionaires and they are stuck in Cali.

I don't know what's holding them down.

I don't know what's holding them down.

Established careers/businesses, family, friends, established networks, age, lack of desire to move/start over.

There are a tone of reasons someone might choose not to relocate despite having the financial resources to do so. I.E. ...One of my cousins out there wont move because she does not want to live far away from her children.

Ah, that's the big one right there. They're not stuck if they have no desire to get out. My perception of being stuck here is clearly very different lol.

She would love to move but because her children are there (and her grandkids) she can't. She doesn't want to do the long distance thing with her family so therefore she is stuck. The other ones are stuck (at least for now) their for their careers. It's not for lack of desire to leave.

it seems you were offended by my comments. That was not the intention here.

I also think the word "easily" is missed in my first comment. You're listing a lot of stuff that makes it complicated, hard. There are plenty of reasons not to actually move, but the easiest, most wide-spread reason is cost. This state is a vampire on finances.

To be fair, You implied in your first comment that being wealthy makes it easy to move and I wanted to point out that's not always the case when other variables come into play. When you responded with "I don't know what's holding them down" I felt that you were offended and again that wasn't my intention here Darren. I was simply wanting to engage in a conversation but perhaps I approached it wrong from the beginning or maybe I took your comment out of context? idk. But it seemed like you took offense and if you did then my bad.

[Reign in Blood]

I haven't seen anything he would do right now. I've seen shoulda coulda woulda of prior like no illegals etc.

Have those 60 firetrucks from Oregon passed the emissions testing in San Gaysisco yet?

Right wing nut jobs fabricating shit and you run with it straight out the stadium, never could have predicated that.

If none of the variables came into play and you were desperate to leave California but live like the vast majority who are paycheck to paycheck, it is basically impossible to leave. The state ups the cost to make it more difficult to leave. They know people are basically fleeing from California like it's the plague and they can't afford it.

They were stopped for inspection in the middle of a world renowned emergency. Nobody said they were denied access or turned away like that article says. Emissions testing is apparently what didn't happen, rather an inspection to see if the vehicles are working and safe for the road? That's literally the job of the driver. Lmao. Still retarded, however you want to look at it.

Emission inspection would've been the chef's kiss on the retardation of California.

[Reign in Blood]

It's all the equipment. As it stated, fire trucks and all the hoses and shit on them and the cargo they brought typically do not travel hundreds of miles. So before letting them just rip when they could be unsafe, they spent 15 minutes to have shit checked out. Such retards.

They have an entire team of firefighters on each vehicle that is responsible for set equipment regardless of miles traveled. I drove heavy vehicles for 8 years as a class A driver. Drove through inspection scales every day and once in my life did they ever inspect my vehicle for safety. Takes about 45 minutes for each vehicle. Probably longer for a firetruck since they have hoses and compartments. But this is the federal government inspecting federal workers inspecting equipment. So they tend to get in their own way and exacerbate things.

Have at it, inspector gadget.

[Reign in Blood]

I don't trust Oregon, what have they ever done that's good? There might have been a stowaway illegal in one of the compartments, come here just to light up some shit. I'm damn glad they looked, could have stopped a potential arsonist, aren't you? I am so damn glad.
