[the watcher]

The feds should not have to fix a state-level problem from age.

I agree, except I also would include mismanagement and ignoring long standing threats in there somewhere. It should also not be a pick and choose option depending on politics.

 

[Hellokitty]

Of course the federal government has to subsidize California. They can not afford to do it themselves. Plus everyone is blaming Newsome and the mayor and the fire chief for their ridiculous actions and inactions. Can not have a state that backs the democrat cult falling because of bad management.

Um, I hope democrats enjoy their new DEI built homes...

 

[toobfreak]

How big of him.

Oh goody, another boondoggle the fed will use to waste and steal billions of dollars.
But correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Joe just describe North Carolina as a major disaster too?
Just ten days till Trump gets in and daddy comes home to put the little children to bed.

 

[MisterBeale]

So where is the money coming from?

Maybe Ukraine can float CA a loan.

Or maybe just give back the firefighting equipment?

Fact Check: Did California donate firefighting equipment to Ukraine?

Comments about the donations have been shared on social media as firefighters battle multiple devastating blazes in the Los Angeles region.

How many people live in the mountains of North Carolina compared to southern California? Californians have electricity and indoor plumbing.

Are the lives of North Carolinians any more valuable than those in Fornicalia, you ******* snob?

 

[MisterBeale]

they have had fires during GOP control in California also, it is nothing new

This one was the result of historic mismanagement.

Large Wildfires Are Rare in California this Early in the Year​

"Fire alerts, which use satellite data to detect fires based on the heat they generate, have been on the rise as fires spread across Los Angeles County. Over 60 fire alerts have already been detected as of Jan. 9 — more than 40 times the average for the first two weeks of the year from 2012-2024.

During most years, no fire alerts are detected in Los Angeles in the first three months of the year, let alone the first two weeks. Only one other year, 2021, had more than 10 fire alerts between January and March. That year went on to become one of California's most devastating for wildfires. . . "

Ongoing fires in Los Angeles are devastating communities. Data shows how unusual this is in January, and how fire trends are changing along with the climate.

President Biden just promised that the feds will pay 100% of the needs of California.​

Biden is and has been for quite some time a mentally ill person, prompted by his progressive party to say things and take actions to bolster support for his and their political base. He can promise whatever he wants, but it ain't gonna happen. I would not be surprised if the democrats in Congress will require specific relief aid to CA as a condition for them to support whatever spending bills, but probably nowhere near 100% of their 'needs'. I have no doubt that they'll demand enough to buy the sun, the moon, and the stars for all sorts of progressive goals. I imagine that a gov't shutdown will be likely unless the GOP caves, but I suspect Trump will veto it.

How big of him. I guess he thinks he can sign another Exec Order and slip it through, although Congress may have a role in this. He really wasn't that magnanimous for North Carolina though. California 55 electoral votes vs. NC who has 15. What a team player.

You weak-minded tards have been so gaslighted by your propagandists that not one iota of reality penetrates your brain fog.

First of all, nowhere in that video does Biden say anything about "100 percent" of Californians needs.

He plainly says the government will help provide access to any "basic needs" to which they currently don't have access. That would be food and shelter, idiot.

Secondly, your propagandists have been telling you dumbasses not to have anything to do with FEMA, and so MAGA idiots impacted by the hurricane in North Carolina have actually been running off FEMA people trying to help them, thus creating a self-fulfilling prophecy.

As a result of the lies your propagandists have told, dipshit, FEMA has actually EXTENDED the deadline for people to request help.

FEMA Extends Deadline to Apply for N.C. Disaster Assistance

Hickory, NC – At the request of Governor Cooper, North Carolina Tropical Storm Helene survivors now have until Feb. 6, 2025, to apply for assistance with FEMA.

You and I and everyone knows you are already shutting down your brain to avoid these facts lest they shatter your deliberately implanted delusions.

/—-/ No $$$ until they fix the water problem, hire competent firefighters, restore the budget, and reinstate the brush clearing.

And East Palestine, OH?..$0

And Lahaina?...$0

And Asheville, NC?...$0

Ukraine's border, $Billions. US border, falsely accuse the BP of whipping illegals.

California also has " celebrities" who are reliable Dem / Socialist voters.

This is how democrats work. Let states destroy themselves and then be saved by the federal government.

/---/ True. Newscum slashed the firefighting budget by $100 million, knowing that the FED would step in for any cleanup caused by fires.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/gov-newsom-cut-fire-budget-100m-months-lethal-california-fires.

A review of last year's California state budget shows California Gov. Gavin Newsom cut funding for wildfire and forest resilience by more than $100 million.

The budget, signed in June and covering the 2024-25 fiscal year, eliminated $101 million from seven "wildfire and forest resilience" programs, according to a report from Newsweek.

The California fires, responsible for destroying more than 10,000 buildings in the Los Angeles area, are still not contained.

And they do it yearly with the SALT deduction, which allows these nutty states to tax their citizentry to death and then to deduct their insane property taxes from their federal income taxes, effectively forcing the rest of the country to subisdize the difference.

/----/ I live in NY, a SALT state. When Trump slashed the deduction to $10k, the NY libs threw a hissy fit. It just forced the rich to pay their fair share.
Funny thing is, Bidum never restored that deduction becuase it generats too much $$$ for the Fed.

I am very much against Trump dealing with Dems to raise the SALT cap. This has worked out extremely well just for the purpose you stated.
