And members of our families, friends, neighbors believe this shit. Make life as miserable as you can for these worthless braindead fascist scum—who, by the way, are destroying any possibility of a decent life for your children. Or, alternatively, cower—and collaborate in your own children’s destruction.

It’s going to be a long four years of this kind of nonsense in the White House.

Appreciate the sentiment but am curious to your confidence of it only being a long four years. Is there more to that than the 'cannot have a 3rd term' argument? From what I've read, Cheney was effectively president-by-proxy under Bush for many areas.

Is it only four years? I do hope you're right.

It could very well las longer than four years. We going to get at least four years of this.

What is worse someone who says something stupid or the one who repeats it? For example I overheard a trump fanatic say, “the reason the lafd was unable to control the fires is because 80% of the fire hoses were donated to the Ukraine.” Now who is the dumber one me for repeating something so stupid or the person who actually believes it?

Well what can you do? When people's opinions are not based on facts, you can explain the facts to them until you are blue in the face , but you won't change their opinions.

What's the connection between Global Warming, the Los Angeles fires, Clarence Thomas luxury trips and Trump's nominee for EPA? Money!

- MAGA Supreme Court justices cripple the EPA’s fight against Global Warming

- Lee Zeldin, Trump's nominee for the EPA vows to "roll back regulations"

- Doug Burgum, Trump's billionaire nominee for Dept. of Interior vows to have more oil drilling on public lands.

Who profits and who suffers from weather disasters caused by Global Warming? Who are Trump's nominees who have vowed to roll back regulations against oil firms? Who has promised more driling on public lands? Who are the Global Warming profiteers that donated to Trump and Republicans?

What Trump doesn't realize about the fires is that they're a firestorm pushed by a very strong windstorm called the Santa Ana winds. What does he want Governor Newsom to do, stand facing the San Gabriel and do a Superman act that blows the winds back to the desert?

These are not normal fires which can be beaten back to a perimeter. Rather, they expand through the winds picking up glowing cinders and sending them miles behind the fire lines where they will start new fires.

I know that it's creating tremendous frustration for the experienced fire fighters who are trying their very best, 10 or 12 or more hours a day, to beat back the fires only to discover that the fire they're fighting has repopulated itself miles behind them.

A mere two centuries of capitalism, and we are approaching the end of human civilization. The capitalist motto, all for ourselves, and nothing for other people, will be our epitaph.

We live in a society of IDIOTS. To even say the words that hurricane-force winds, chronic lack of rain, and generations of people living in denial about the vulnerability of their environments are due to DEI just because the identities of the mayor and fire chief are not that of a mediocre white male... They all test the limits of our empathy and compassion. Readers may be interested to know that fire hydrants in Pacific Palisades are fed by underground tanks that need to be refilled. The system was designed to put out fires for just a few homes at a time that might catch on fire, not for the entire area. These tanks are not connected to any larger-scaled resource that would automatically refill. Someone should have looked at that infrastructure a while ago. No doubt, some city civil engineer voiced concern for years but got sidelined by generations of politicians who do not want to face Climate Change. That's not Gavin Newsom's fault. He's been talking about reform in response to Climate Change for a long, long time. There are more people who influence government and the way public works get designed/deployed than just one governor or just one mayor. Take a look at city councils and all the lobbyists who get paid to influence them. But sure, make this a DEI problem so as to NEVER solve the problem.

Thank you, Kat, for speaking on this issue along with the so-called "reasons the fires are happening". Almost made my brain explode when trump went after Newsom yesterday. But here is another thought: perhaps the climate gods are angry that Trump got re-elected! Perfect explanation!

Kat, I was pleased to hear you refer to the (human-caused) climate CRISIS, as the root cause of the fires. Unfortunately, the introductory heading and text referred instead to climate change, which is an Orwellian euphemism minimizing and normalizing an existential crisis that the fascist “right” (more doublespeak) denies.

A deeper dive is needed to offset Zeteo’s and mainstream media’s silence with respect to the climate crisis and its genesis, humans in a parasitic rather than symbiotic relationship with the Earth.

PS

Please, slow down for those for whom English is a second language.

There is a good piece in the LA Times published yesterday (11 January 2025) about the “inconvenient truths” about the fires - recommend giving it a read

What .... it wasn't .... THE GAYS?????

I thought it was always THE GAYS - I mean - they have that agenda to wipe out Western civilisation, don't they?

And they eat babies! Oh wait a minute - that's THE ATHEISTS - who are probably also THE GAYS - and Hillary Clinton.
