Mayor Karen Bass stands in a stunned silence for nearly 2 minutes as a reporter asks her if she regrets cutting Los Angeles' Fire Department budget by nearly $20 million and being absent as her citizens' homes burned down.

“Or ashamed.”

Leftists are never ashamed. I’m serious.

That screen shot in Post 39 says it all: who do you think you are, questioning ME!

If the reporter had asked Bass a question about abortion, she would have piped up and bragged about how LA is protecting women’s “reproductive rights.” That’s really one of the few things these leftwing idiots care about.

Her arrogance is atrocious.

The entire government is liable for this mess and should be sued accordingly from the council and mayor on up to Gavin Gruesome himself.


Who voted for them?

Oh please, she was having a GREAT TIME in Gana, she knows it was only Trump’s tweets that forced her to have to come back to her hell hole so early.

A lot of posters on X are asking why they were never informed about Bass's incompetence and ties to Cuba before the 2022 election. Why, indeed. Conservative media was screaming about it - but the legacy media followed its usual doctrine that saying anything bad about anyone black or lesbian or progressive would be racist and mean.

Bass is a DEI trifecta who almost became Vice President in 2020. She is progressive royalty. I expect legacy media criticism of her even in the wake of the fires to remain muted.

Maybe, just maybe, the two minutes of stunned silence means she has something resembling a soul left, and that she has genuine regret, even if she cannot bring herself to admit she was wrong. We know that even an Obama or a younger Biden would just put out some garbage and expect us to take it without missing a beat.

Disturbing video. Hiring an incompetent person for an executive position has consequences. Her reaction to the questions were that of a dullard. It was if Mayor DEI was asked to solve a complex mathematical formula. The appropriate response would have been a brief summary of her intended next steps as part of a larger action plan. Her role was to lead. To assemble a team of smart, wise, and effective staff; form strategies and actions; and execute. No one is asking her to drive a fire truck. They are asking this idiot to lead.

Hope she enjoyed going to Ghana at the taxpayers expense. What possible ROI from that trip could be realized should be looked at closely.

I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m impressed by the garbage bins. Maybe they should build houses out of that stuff.

“If the reporter had asked Bass a question about abortion, she would have piped up”

Good point.

The reporter should have rephrased their question:

“How will these wildfires affect women seeking an abortion in your city?”

Lol.

Being Black is priority #1. All else is secondary to being Black.

The solution to inequality is for Blacks to dilute the supremacy of the Whites.

The fire is proving the supposed equalizer is bogus

She is pathetic, a parasite sucking the life blood out of the system in a role she only got because of woke DEI affirmative action BS. So predictable these people get elected then take taxpayer funded vacations.

Well how about this.

I watched a BBC TV show last night that was thoroughly larded up with superfluous diversity, much more than the ordinary BBC diversity programming excess.

One of the police officer Chief Inspector’s was what was a purposely mistakeable black transvestite woman.

She’s got that Biden presidential vibe about her!

Pacific Palisades was mapped to be a smart city.

This Bass woman is a Marxist that goes to Cuba every 6 months.

Those people should have been worried when their fire insurance was canceled for everyone.

Democrats are trying to create the impression that Trump is in power when this happened. Could be why it was set on fire so close to his inauguration.

Things are too smooth, so lookout Trump.

She took $20 million from fire fighting that would have provide the water needed to give to the faggots then blamed not being prepared on the winds.
