Latest LA Fires Update Will Likely Infuriate Voters
Townhall ^ | 01/09/2025 | Matt Vespa

The entire political leadership in California deserves to be in jail. Okay, maybe that’s too much, but everyone must be fired. As the media focuses on the raging wildfires engulfing Los Angeles County, the lack of water and firefighters, and Mayor Karen Bass being in Africa when the blaze erupted, we have new developments on how this top-down failure in disaster response came about.

Bass was already torched for cutting almost $20 million from the Los Angeles Fire Department a few months ago. The city opted to use that money to support transgender cafes, weirdo lefty-wing art, and gay choirs (via Daily Caller):

Will California voters finally say “enough” or will they be enticed by a different liberal shiny object at the next election?

Even in the little town of Atoka, TN pop 7K does testing twice yearly.

Over the years I have said, “I’d never vote for a Democrat to be dogcatcher.”

You stop these morons from lower level jobs so they don’t work their way up to destroy at a higher level.

Bass was supported by Obama who got involved in that race for mayor because she - like him - is a black, gay, communist.

Nope, Democrats are a cult. What ever lie they tell their bots to believe about this event will be worshiped as truth.

if the last 4 years still did not wake up these clowns, nothing will

No, that's not too much.

And for life, to boot.

And pay for damages from their own purse until they have no money left anywhere.

I live here. The headline assumes far too much. Never— do not ever — underestimate the leftist capacity to, by and means including outright lunacy, recast their real and present pain as the fault of something other than their own voting.

Generally. Deeply. In the leftist mind, they are NEVER, EVER wrong.

This is the selfsame mindframe that will result in armies in the field at Armageddon thinking they’re gonna shoot the returning Christ outta the sky. After ALL the Judgements and outpoured Wrath of God, this “we are never wrong” mind will be standing there in abject denial that they’ve any guilt in anything that’s befallen them, and this Jesus on his white horse coming in vengeance against them is totally in the wrong.

So don’t go thinking these fires are gonna be any sort of big California redpill moment.

Yep. And some will never admit their stupidity.

Others will, but only apologetically.

Most will be openly mad as hell.

There's a report going around saying that a few days before the fires broke out, Bass asked for another $49 million cut in the fire dept budget. Probably didn't have any effect since it was only a few days before the fire, but it does reflect where Bass stands on it.

The Babylon Bee reported that Newsom has learned that water is useful in putting out fires. While The BB is usually just poking the bear with a big stick, they may be on to something here!

They don’t even think in terms of right and wrong. They think in terms of “I meant well” and consequences of their actions are not even evaluated as right or wrong. Intention is all that’s important. Results are not relevant.

As damning as that all is, I don’t believe for a second these entrenched lefties will vote for anyone other than a Democrat - and will most likely support and fund raise for Karen Bass for a second term.

I could be wrong but I don’t think I am.

They’ll move the Democrat, $10,000/plate fundraising dinners to Montecito to Ellen DeGeneris’s home.
