Wild Fires In LA

Do these jobs, whatever you imagine them to be, bar white men from applying?
:rof: Might as well...not gonna get considered if white male, period. It's called "diversity hiring" - preferential treatment to anyone who isn't a white male.
memories are a tiny percentage of firefighters
Freudian slip?

If the fire chief in LA had been a white man, would you have posted a mocking video with an image of him wearing a red clown nose?,
If as big a moron as the mayor? Sure. To her credit, the chief was calling out the administration for underfunding the fire department. But the focus of only hiring a woman, or a black, or a gay (or as someone noted about the asst. Fire chief - they hit the trifecta with all 3) that is a big bragging point about how "diverse" the department was and how a minority would want a similar member of their own minority to respond as EMT, firemen or police. Really? If you are in a fire, do you really give a ****? I don't think so. I want someone big enough to drag me out of the house. Oh, please big burly black guy, call a white guy for me...I'm triggered by you. L no, drag me outta here. These quotas do not work to make the fire or police better.
 
I readily admit to Biden's flaws, whereas you folks put Trump on a pedestal and do not recognize his flaws.

My point is that Trump pretends that he reigned over some kind of golden age, and people buy into it. Still, his first term was riddled with failures and broken promises, and he added a huge amount to the deficiency while pretending he was a whiz at financial management. Plus, his lie about a rigged election, which people like yourself don't even address.

Trump had some achievements, as did Biden ( though you fail to recognize them)
His second term - it is a complete unknown because already, he is introducing a whole new set of paradigms he did nto address at all in his campian, which is bases ignores as well.
Ok, my last reply to you. Biden had 0 achievements, his White House staff has already come out about his mental deficiencies since early in his administration.

I do not put Trump on any pedestal. He has numerous personal flaws (maybe not on the Bill Clinton or Buden family level) but the main stream media has been after him for 12 years and if they would only report 10 percent of the truth about the Bidens illicit dealings maybe we would have a better political system. But things are what they are and Trump is the right man at the right time.

Lastly, use some of your own advice READ.

I addressed the "rigged" election in my last post. Politicians, local authorities making election rule changes due to "covid" that they were not allowed to by the US CONSTITUTION. Only State Legislators have this authority. Social media, mainstream media, DOJ, and Biden himself lying in the debate. To that extent the election was rigged, and please don't quote me as saying Trump won, obviously Biden has been living at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. these past 4 years. But we will find out more in the coming years and you, like the media will choose to ignore it.

I only wish Trump was half as bad as you imply, that he would have his justice department send armed agents and raid the personal homes of the Clintons, Bidens, Obamas, ect. That he work to coordinate with some red state AG to trump (pun intended) up charges against Democrats for violating and failing to enforce immigration laws that have been on the books for many administrations. But he is a better man than me, so far.

Move on

I see plenty of images mocking Newsom.

All you do, and all is see 99% of MAGA do, is compare Ttump to Bideb (or compare him to someone)

The deeds of a leader are not always relative. They are what they are.

Again, nobody is hiding or excusing Bidens; mistakes

The problem is not what Trump did or did not achieve - those are facts.. But you guys refuse to recognise the facts of Trump failures, and they have nothing to do with personality or personal flaws

Your circular excuse for Trump mounting a massive lie about the 2020 election being rigged is whitewashing. Any changes due to cold were present in states Trump won as well as in states he lost.

I believe, as do conservatives who are not MAGA as do former high ranking TRump staff such as VP Pence, that the blind devotion and denial of Trump's followers are dangerous becue one of the hallmarks of a democracy is the ability to cruise a leader, most importantly, one we vote for and elect.

SO WHAT?
So she was black, gay, a lesbo. Nobody is asking you to date her or hang out with her. The question is,, was she competent at her job or not?

You assume incompetence and that she was a DEI hire. Worse, the mockery heaped on her with ugly images and videos is abhorrent

I am sure she and everybody close to it alrady feel terrible about the fire - and they might personally have lost their own homes or loved ones. But hey, go for the jugular , mock, and ridicule a complete stranger who is already under enormous stress. Maybe if you all keep piling on the hate, she will commit suicide as the two Criminal policemen did after Jan 6th.
 
Yep, not important to be prepared for the inevitable fires, more important to be woke and let the "equity lens" equalize things by hiring non-whites.


Flashback: LA Water chief says her work is guided by 'equity lens'
The LA Department of Water and Power is sticking to its narrative that all hydrants in Pacific Palisades were working just fine before the fires — even though a major reservoir was taken offline beforehand.​
“Any assertion that fire hydrants in the Pacific Palisades were broken before the Palisades fire is misleading and false," the department said in a statement. "L.A. Department of Water & Power was required to take the Santa Ynez Reservoir out of service to meet safe drinking water regulations. To commission the support and resources to implement repairs to Santa Ynez, L.A.D.W.P is subject to the city charter’s competitive bidding process which requires time."​
Now the organization is facing further scrutiny after the county's $750,000-a-year water chief, Janisse Quinones, said her work is guided by an "equity" lens.
Quinones said in a July interview with KBLA radio that the importance of putting an "equity lens" to the DWP was "the number one thing that attracted me to this role."​
No wonder they have budget problems. $750,000???? The mayor must get a billion a year...I work towns that don't have a third that for the salaries of each and every employee in the city.
