In a burning building situation, I can assure you I don't want someone who looks like me,' wrote T Becket Adams, the program director for the National Journalism Center at Young America's Foundation.

'I don't want Temu Philip Seymour Hoffman;' he said, referring to the late actor.

'I want Ving Rhames busting in like the Kool-Aid Man,' Adams said of the Mission: Impossible

I thought that was a dude. If anything comes of this tragedy, and America seems to be having the daily tragedies, at least Newsome will never run for President and maybe people will rethink putting heavyset lesbians in charge of anything.

We can’t carry your ass out of a fire, but we can feel good about ourselves while you’re burning to death.

Yep. Assume that JD is going to run (or DeSantis) in 2028.

Gavin Newsom was going to be the most formidable candidate for the Democrats.

Now they're going to have to go to their bench and put in their back up QB who's not as good.

Gretchen Whitmer, Josh Shapiro, Wes Moore, etc are all flawed candidates IMHO.

They couldn’t find competent, white heterosexual males who could get the job done for half the pay given to these fat bull dukes?

“In a burning building situation, I can assure you I don’t want someone who looks like me... I don’t want Temu Philip Seymour Hoffman;’ “

Wow, he aces the effective use of self-deprication. I looked him up; he’s better looking than that, but it is an hysterical line.

“You want to see someone that responds to your house, to your emergency - whether it’s a medical call or a fire call - that looks like you,’ she said.“

Don’t be a white guy and express that idea.

It would be great to get 7 dwarves dressed up in firefighter gear, carrying squirt guns. They could, together, carry one fire victim out of the burning building each hour. This is Kalifornia diveeeeeerrrrrsity.

“In the public relations video that re-emerged from 2019, Deputy Chief Kristine Larson - who heads the Equity and Human Rights Bureau - defended the fire department’s use of DEI hiring practices.”

Dirty Harry had the correct way to address “diversity hiring” even way back then... the common sense way....

People have short memories and Newsome is desperate to be president. Don’t rule him out. Look at how many times Biden ran.

Is she a paramedic rather than fire? They run hefty, and ALS, Advanced Life Support, is also known as Ain’t Lifting S-—.

I was amazed at the 3/4 of a million dollar salary for the fire chief. Freaking crazy!

Remember: public servants are to serve the public - unless of course they got themselves in a bad place, in which case there’s no responsibility to do so. This is DEI logic 101.

Oh they most certainly could but for some reason the Dems love fat ol’ bulldikes.

Personally I think that’s what comes from all their satanic worshipping.

Satan. He has a wicked sense of humor.

Isn’t that tacit acknowledgement that women can’t do the job?
