‘LA cannot go forward with the status quo. LA is no longer what it was. It has to be different,’ Maria Shriver .

...

a number of celebrities — many of them reliably Democratic — are speaking out against state officials, criticizing their response to the deadly blazes.

Most of the anger has been directed at Los Angeles’ mayor, Karen Bass, who left for a trip to Ghana after the city was warned that the powerful Santa Ana winds that fueled the flames were coming. She was thousands of miles away during the initial destruction...

Maria Shriver, publicly said that city residents “deserve better.”

...

Los Angeles Fire Chief Kristin Crowley skewered Ms. Bass

...

The $17M budget cut and elimination of our civilian positions like our mechanics did and has and will continue to severely impact our ability to repair our apparatus.. Over the last 3 years, we have been clear that the fire department needs help. We can no longer sustain where we are.”

...

Ari Emanuel, a member of Hollywood’s elite and major donor to Ms. Bass .. took issue with how she handled her responsibilities .. dereliction of duty,”

...

actress Sarah Michelle Gellar .. criticizes leadership .

...

The daughter of music mogul David Foster, actress Sara Foster, tagged the accounts of Governor Newsom and Ms. Bass as well, with harsh comments about their leadership on X.

“We pay the highest taxes in California. Our fire hydrants were empty. Our vegetation was overgrown, brush not cleared.. Our reservoirs were emptied by our governor because tribal leaders wanted to save fish. Our fire department budget was cut by our mayor. But thank god drug addicts are getting their drug kits.”

RESIGN. Your far left policies have ruined our state. And also our party

They voted for it. They campaigned for it. The donated money to it. They told us we were morns. They know better than us. They said we were the problem.

Sorry, not sorry.......EMBRACE THE SUCK!...............

Remember Katrina in New Orleans? The entire blame for all damage and deaths was laid at the President’s desk. It was entirely his fault, nobody within 1000 miles was to blame for anything. Now there is a Dem President and an entirely Dem set of State leaders. Believe me, if this happened next month it would all be Trump’s fault.

Funny how their perspective changed when the impact of their stupid decisions (and votes) over the years comes home to roost. Try as I may, I find it hard to feel sorry for them. At the same time, I feel extremely sad for those who fought their votes but lacked the support to make a change in Democrat policies.

“But thank god drug addicts are getting their drug kits.”
It’s ironic that was said, all of those very people are addicted to the progressive trope:
“As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.”
Proverbs 26:11

Agreed. This is merely a lover’s quarrel.

Dems only wake up when their destructive policies effect them personally, but they are incapable of connecting the dots.

The L.A. Times has apparently thrown Mayor Bass under the bus.
They have retracted their previous endorsement. Her days are numbered.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Democrats_(United_States)

New Democrats, also known as centrist Democrats, Clinton Democrats or moderate Democrats, are a centrist ideological faction within the Democratic Party in the United States. As the Third Way faction of the party, they are seen as culturally liberal on social issues while being moderate or fiscally conservative on economic issues.

The only way California can get out of this mess is for Trump ro declare it a failed state and a federal takeover occurs.
