    By pointing out truth.

    Here's another truth:

    ***DOH! BIDEN IS STILL POTUS***

    ... and y'all are whining about what Trump said, rather than daring ti accept any responsibility for the *ACTIONS* committed (and failures to take any) by the shit buckets y'all elected.

    LMAO!

    This thread exists to ATTACK THE PRES ELECT and avoid responsibility for the failed Leftisr policies, not to drum up sympathy for the fire vics.

    When Trump left office there were 302,000 Emergency responders in LA. Today there are 332,000 even though CA population has shrunk. Specifically to firefighters there were 4,775 in 2020 and there are now 4,953 firefighters. There is more fire coverage in 224 than there ever was in 2020 when Donald Trump was president. His attacks are hollow bullshit that have no basis in reality.

    I just wanted to point out that random twitter postings are just opinion and not established news or a viable source. Most of these would go under the editorial section of any publication.

    They did already. He was spotted setting fires on Sunday, treated for smoke inhalation and charged with arson on Tuesday.

    that the fires were set by some sicko does not change the fact that LA was not ready or able to handle them due to a lack of water

    The reservoirs that feed the LAFD were at 100% capacity before the fire broke out. But the system simply wasn't designed to fight a raging wildfire burning entire townships over the course of days. I would imagine few municipal fire systems are equipped to handle a disaster of this size.

    Wildfires are difficult to contain in the best of conditions. The Palisade fire sparked during the worst. Warm, dry weather with humidity less than 30% and sustained winds of 60mph, with gusts over 80mph. Wind so bad it grounded all air support. More water on the ground wouldn't have made much of a difference.
