What caused them is irrevelant, although some lib arsonists have been arrested. The point is that the fire dept didn't have the resources to fight them, and the Democrap policies allowed for the fires to be even worse than they otherwise would have had they not gutted the water supply and fire dept funding, you twat.

Fires happen all the time in California. The problem is when the fire dept doesn't have the water and resources to fight them. So, your question is as stupid as you are.

They are saying some of the fires were started by homeless people. One homeless man was arrested for attempting to start a fire. Some may be copycats.
There. I answered your question. Now tell me WTF difference it makes when the firrefighters didn't have the resources to fight the fires due to budget cuts, diversion of millions from the fire dept to Ukraine, and other Democrap policies?

If you care to actually know, you could find out.
There was plenty of water. No shortage there. The local water system failed because the city’s infrastructure was built to respond to routine structure fires, not massive wildfires across multiple neighborhoods. Plus the very, very dry conditions together with the winds made it worse.
No conspiracy here. Nothing political.
Also, specifically what resources are you referring to? -

These retards will never accept that Democrat policies have failed, ever, and these would be the same people who blamed George Bush for not holding up levees himself during Katrina. You are wasting your time.

You guys politicize everything. It has nothing to do with Democratic or Republican policies.
You guys are what allowed an ass flown like Trump in the awhite House.
You will be very very sorry.
Yes it does, actually, because Democrats politicize everything about blame everything on Republicans, and even when it is clearly the fault of Democrats they still blame it on Republicans. You guys act like retarded, ****ty, destructive, dumb gay Democrats are perfect and nothing they do is ever wrong.

Right, strictly because Democrats are in charge. If it were a red state you'd be calling for their heads.

True, and it's important to point out the left's constant hypocrisy and double standards.
Also, you mentioned a few times it was a natural disaster. That's not true. It was arson.

Why shouldn't at least a
chunk
of this be politicized? The Santa Ana winds were predicted and while never seen to this degree, it's a known factor that needs to be considered. There is an over-population of humans, and that includes building houses in areas that are in high-risk area as well as the swelling of illegal aliens and homelessness in the area. Aspects of this weather has been predicted, and CA gets wildfires every single year. This is not unprecedented. It's why insurance companies bailed 6 months ago, something Karen Bass should have been aware of. It's called risk management. No one will underwrite a policy when the premiums are capped or want to insure structures that are built in areas that have been determined to be too risky…. yet they keep right on repeating the same mistakes and never fix the problems to allow people to do their work in the event of a catastrophe. The Democrats are housing and diverting funds to pay for illegal aliens to live in the cities. Several people were caught (and that's just what we know about) with blow torches setting fires to property, and they don't get arrested, or if they do, they're released so they can re-offend. This
is
a political issue. Mismanagement of money, like cutting almost $20 million from the LAFD, but sending more money to things like cannabis programs, the homeless and immigration, and libraries.
Even if you want to believe in climate change, that green new deal pushed by Democrats is what made preparation for handling this event impossible. Newsom proudly destroyed four dams that could have been used to house water. One dam was "down for repairs" since April of last year, and while tax money was funneled into the government for restoration,
nothing was done
, leaving a 117-million-gallon reservoir completely empty. The Democrat party has pushed DEI initiatives and diverted funds that could have gone to infrastructure and preparedness, including restoring the 50 or so fire departments they closed, and that money was spent specifically on DEI training. Do you consider that a proper use of taxpayer funds instead of what might have helped these firefighters that are now forced to risk their lives to poor pre-planning?
It was the Democrat party buckling to climate change activists and refused to allow fire breaks and forest management that would have prevented the fire from spreading. The same activists pushed to not allow cleanup of tinder, leaves, downed trees and branches that are like kindling
when
, not if, a fire strikes up. The Democrats funneled flowing, free fresh water into the ocean that could have been funneled into dams to provide water. Why didn't the Department of Public Works maintain the hydrants and plumbing and whatever else was needed so the firefighters could do their job?
If it's climate change, why aren't there wildfires happening in other states like this? Again, human error in choosing when and where to build as well as housing density. And if you believe in climate change, - so what? Let's suppose that's happening. It still comes down to management in advance and a state of preparation and readiness. How are they preparing to handle these so-called "climate changes" that are occurring? By hiring people who are patently unfit to do the job but tick boxes. If climate change is real, then anticipate these events and put the proper work in place to handle the anticipated changes, regardless of cause. The
cause
is irrelevant when peoples' lives are being put at risk.

He's going to give you some bullshit fake answer, but his real answer is "Because it makes Democrats look bad. Only us Democrats are allowed to politicize **** to attack Republicans."

@Pottymouth
has it right to your moronic arguments that make no sense and are totally incorrect and have zero proof of a connection for them to have enough water for fighting the fires.
There was plenty of water. No shortage there. The local water system failed because the city’s infrastructure was built to respond to routine structure fires, not massive wildfires across multiple neighborhoods. Plus the very, very dry conditions together with the winds made it worse.
Trying to put out these massive fires is like trying to put out a fire in your house that has been engulfed in fire and all you have is a Super Soaker to battle the flames.
No amount of water or manpower could have done anything in putting them out.
That is just conventional wisdom.
As for your claim of LAFD DEI hires which again is totally irrelevant and has nothing at all to do with how this fire got out of control and was impossible to stop:
As for the impact of DEI policies on putting out wildfires, "I give it only slightly more credibility than the Jewish space laser theories," said

As for the impact of DEI policies on putting out wildfires, "I give it only slightly more credibility than the Jewish space laser theories," said
Mike Beasley, who heads the board of Firefighters United for Safety Ethics and Ecology.
In 40 years of firefighting, he says he has watched wildfires become more extreme and "meaner."
"There is no number of people that will stop all the fires in the middle of a hot, dry season with the climate charged fuel aridity. There just isn't," said Beasley.
"With these Santa Ana winds happening, it's just about getting people out of the way. It's not really about putting the fire out until the winds calm down."
Beasley says there are many legitimate discussions these fires should raise about climate change, firefighting budgets, water management, housing development, insurance and outdated infrastructure.
"No fire agency is going to sacrifice training and fundamental fire control and fundamental operations at the expense of DEI training," said Beasley,
who said diverse teams are better at tackling complex challenges, working under pressure and fostering community trust during emergencies.

You are a Right Wing leaning Trumptard who voted for Turd Lump so of course you are going to jump on the Dem. blame bandwagon filled with bullshit.
Also because you are a fucking retard who goes along with conspiracy theories who has no fucking idea how to think for herself.
Common sense with you is never common.

You missed the entire point of my post which was that money that should have been spent on increasing manpower, not removing 1/3 of the fire departments, not closing 4 dams, not utilizing runoff water into containment, reallocating and diverting funds, sending equipment that could have been used to Ukraine, not managing the forest and grounds properly with fire breaks and removed tinder. What part of that are you not grasping. This goes beyond what's being done now to contain this fire, and the point is that CA has had years to take appropriate action to stabilize the area and prevent fires from spreading. CA actually spent years doing the wrong thing so that when something this extreme happened, they would have a better chance at battling it.
I have both liberal and conservative values. I'm not sure what your point is. There is nothing wrong with having conservative viewpoints and opinions.
Now that I know you are Warren, consider yourself blocked.
