Did alleged induction cause these utterly catastrophic incompetent Democrat policies?

- empty main reservoir
- 100+ out-of-commission fire vehicles
- decades of non-fire prevention
- LAFD understaffed
- LAFD not testing fire hydrants
- LADWP led by a DEI hire at 700K per year who couldn't keep a reservoir full
- DEI hiring policies > competent professionals
- assets not pre deployed in extreme fire conditions
- improper use of fire personnel on the day of fires ignition
- fire trails not cut
- prescribed burns and animal grazing stopped
- fire crews prohibited from using diesel generators to power pumps
- Democrat Mayor to fly to Africa to literally and figuratively avoid the heat
- DEI obese lesbian fire leader indignant that a fire person might have to carry a citizen out of a fire
- extended time for the first fire crew to reach the Pacific Palisades original fire
- Gavin Newsom firing the volunteer, quick reaction, trained wildfire crew
- CA not having 1,000, 2,000 trained wildfire crew across the state
- Governor Newsom giving early Covid release to prisoners trained in fighting fires
- Democrat Governors Newsom and Brown not buying specialty Bombardier Super Soaker wildfire airplanes
- Democrat Governors not thinning forests or cutting fire trails
- lag time in training National Guard to fight wildfires
- LAFD / Inspectors not putting in emergency measures the weeks / months before the predicted-by-all conflagrations

(Abbreviated list from memory.)




Way to lay the hammer down on the troll. Boom.

More cut and paste.
And nothing to do with the possible cause (induction) Your reading comprehension is terribly poor.

Yawn.

I'm surprised that you didn't say that the "Induction" was BIDEN'S FAULT.

Was that ****ty USMCA deal also BIDEN'S FAULT?

He's kind of lost because Bill Wattenburg, amuse and Lord Bebo never gave him talking points or memes about induction in dormant power lines.

Our previous Autopen Adminstration didn't do well with monitoring current events... like the Weekend at Bernie's POTUS, it just signs what is slipped beneath it.

Or maybe his Familia just let the Agreement erode as they got bennies on the backend. Selling away our country one deal at a time.

Nobody here mentioned Panama slipping away (solved), hostages held (ditto), or Greenland as a in play.

The Panama and Greenland initiatives are solutions in search of a problem. It's admirable that a handful of hostages have been released, but it's just a handful of hostages, not the resolution of a major international crisis.

If Trump can't remember what he's signed, maybe he's just signing whatever shows up on his desk too.

President Trump signs his EOs in full view of the press and engages in Q and A during the process.

BTW, I see Soros wants to push out Schumer?

So Trump signs whatever EOs they place in front of him and the banters with the press without Trump reading or understanding what he's signing. Having the press in the room doesn't ensure his comprehension of what's going on. He's like Biden with a gift for babbling.

As for Soros, you see him everywhere. I see a 94 year old man with rapidly diminishing influence.

You folks have this cognitive dissonance going where you denied Biden's feeble and deteriorating capabilities for four years, but then try to foist that onto vigorous workaholic Donald Trump.

A vigorous workaholic that can't remember what he did a few days earlier. That's a clear sign of cognitive decline.

And "Soros" isn't going away. His son has taken over the family business and his politics are more extreme than his father's. Woke and dumber than a bag of rocks.

One of his former partners is our Treasury Secretary, appointed by the Orange Man.

Sans politics, Soros is without a doubt one of the GREATEST financial market traders in history.
Just ask Stanley Druckenmiller.

Interestingly enough, guess who also worked for SOROS at the Quantum Fund and was a partner there in the early 90's?

Can you say Scott Bessent our new Treasury Secretary?

Sure, I knew you could.

In an alternative universe, Alex Soros would have dated and married a Cal fan while he was doing his masters in Berkeley and would have funneled his billions towards supporting Cal athletics instead of subverting the legal and social systems of dozens of countries around the world...

Yes, your beloved Orange Man appointed one of his partners from the Quantum Fund as our Treasury Secretary.

Soros is a financial genius as are many of his proteges. How exactly does that make his political aims noble? Maybe his politics were out in the open when he was still in the business, but he wasn't the activist that he is today. So beyond the working association, do you have any evidence that Bessent was aware or involved with Soros' political activities?

Since were talking about Soros, do you support all the activist Soros judges who release violent criminals simply because of the color of their skin or association with radical organizations like ANTIFA?

Just as a matter of interest to some of the self-righteous here, but LA City has hired bankruptcy counsel. Presently the City faces lawsuits with claims well over $10 Billion in connection with the Palisades fire.

Every day you wake up and Trump is doing things…...


"Meanwhile, America is one-man rule. Resist and he'll ruin you. He'll destroy your law firm's business; he'll stop that corporate merger you want; he'll put a tariff on your company; he'll launch a DOJ investigation into you; he'll get you fired for doing your job in government faithfully; he'll sue you if you print something true about him; and if you're a federal judge and rule against him, he'll sic an online mob, and maybe a real mob, onto you. He has done all these things this year and openly celebrated them."
Andrew Sullivan

"Every day, Americans are bombarded with the bad news of Trump 2.0: concentration camps; cruel ICE raids targeting law-abiding residents; health insurance being yanked from millions; elite universities, media companies, and law firms yielding to mob-like extortion; crypto deals and other brazen grifting tied to a corrupt White House; rampant abuses of governmental power and threats of sham criminal prosecutions against the administration's critics and political foes; drastic cuts in food assistance; assaults on women's rights; the withholding of disaster relief; the reckless shutdowns and eviscerations of crucial government services and agencies that will result in hardship (and, in some cases, death) for Americans and people overseas….."
Dan Corn

"The senior administration official, as well as other Trump officials, note that it is a priority of the president's that these kinds of military deployments in L.A., and now D.C., in times of relative calm become normalized in American political culture. Trump has long believed he should be able to wield the might of military forces on American soil in ways more commonly associated with authoritarian states. He now has a government stacked full of loyalists who want to help him realize this goal. "He's gonna do more of them," another Trump administration official says, referring to siccing the military on deep-blue cities, using crime and immigrants as justification. "He promised he would do this, and now he's following through on those promises……"
Rolling Stone

"The Trump administration has ordered a comprehensive internal review of exhibitions and materials at several Smithsonian museums to ensure they align with the administration's interpretation of American history. This initiative follows an executive order from March 2025 titled "Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History," which criticized what it described as a "revisionist movement" across the country.
Key aspects of the review
* Focus: The initial phase will focus on eight museums, including the National Museum of American History, the National Museum of Natural History, and the National Museum of African American History and Culture."

For an adversary, we sure need them. Here from your favorite go-to expert, AI:

"As of recent estimates (mid-2024 to May 2025), China holds approximately $756 billion to $770 billion in U.S. Treasury securities.
This makes China the second-largest foreign holder of US debt, after Japan, which holds over $1.1 trillion. China's holdings represent roughly 11% of all foreign-held U.S. debt and about 2% of the total US national debt, which has surpassed $37 trillion.
Additional key points regarding China's ownership of US debt include:
Declining holdings: China's holdings have decreased from their peak of over $1.3 trillion in 2011. This decline is linked to China's efforts to diversify its reserves and lessen its reliance on US assets.
Motivations for holding US debt: China primarily invests in US debt to manage its currency, stabilize its export-based economy, and maintain liquidity in its reserves.
Potential impact of selling: While a large sale of US debt by China could potentially impact markets, experts suggest it would also diminish the value of China's remaining holdings, making it a less likely action and more of a symbolic gesture.
In summary, although China possesses a significant amount of US debt, it is not the primary foreign holder, and its holdings constitute a relatively small fraction of the total US national debt."

Pre-pandemic budget plus inflation and increased interest costs. Increased border costs offset by DOGE cuts and staff reductions.
