Am I? You are defending these a-holes with whataboutisms that don't apply out of one side while saying it's a tragedy on the other. 

Yes you are!

'Yes, it is vastly different because we identify and target the policies that led to the disaster and you celebrate the deaths of people. That is disgusting'.

I said right from the start it's an unimaginable tragedy but staying to maga mindset....  you say I celebrate.  Unbelievable!

Where do you think I had a problem reading? I only now brought this up, you had not posted any of that before here. 

The water system was short a very large supply of water that was out of service in the Santa Ynez Reservoir. This certainly contributed to the system running out more quickly. 

That is the point... in an area known to have potential issues with larger wildfires, the local leadership should be thinking about being prepared for that and having a better supply on hand to provide more sustained firefighting capacity. 

I am well aware of all the excuses. 

 

 

That is a loaded question built on a false dishonest premise of your own making with how you are using the term divisiveness here. 

Be more honest. 

So did tinder dry land and hurricane force winds!  Anything about that hard to understand as to why the fire couldn't controlled?

No loaded question....  you spout off that unity is a joke because it's just not politics but seem to have a problem with the dem elected officials comment.  That was right in your lane the other day.   Such is life for Maga....

There's only one cult in this country and that's the democrat party. Whether you're a US citizen or not, you identify as a woketard and that automatically makes you a member of the cult. 

A woketard.... really 😂

If you are going to defend the people for saying it, then you are supporting it.

Thank you for pointing this out..I've been saying they are vile scum of the earth for about 10 years now or so

And you STILL have NOT LEARNED how WRONG you are despite repeated efforts to EDUCATE YOU.

Some NEVER LEARN. And still trust and cite FOS LIES. 🤮

Where did I defend anyone supporting this???  Funny how quickly you twist things around.... Earlier in the week unity was an absolute joke for you and divisiveness was cool.  Now his divisive comment isn't so cool....because he's on the other side of the political aisle.

Leftists go to is to play politics blame this person or that person.. 

Meanwhile families are still looking for the bodies of their 11 and 12 year old girls. 

Left wing politics is vile and disgraceful, lacks common sense and decency. Very sick people

Yes, of course. Your belief system is every bit as stupid as that word. It makes perfect sense when you think about it.

And if Trump had not GUTTED the National Weather Service, those girls might have escaped those floods.

That is what happens when they GUT vital services, everyone knows where the blame lies.

Your comments on liberals however is somewhat disingenuous don't you think?  

The comments are spot-on. Did you not see the comments that left4rds were posting about "Texas deserving the flooding"? 

And this isn't the first example of left4rds being that vile. They cheered on riots, cheered on talk about assassinating Trump, celebrated forcing young people to take the jab when they didn't need one, they cheered on the war against of freedom speech, they cheered on our MSM disinformation campaigns, and then they just lie in our faces about everything. 

Left4rds are truly vile people. There's no denying it.

I seem to recall some *sshole who wears orange make-up blaming "Newscum" and democrats for the LA fires, which were also weather related.  But guessing that's different....

This is clearly a nuanced issue which you will never get a full grasp of.

FYI there are "forestry management" precautions that need to be followed to lessen the likelihood of fires growing out of control. When you prioritize funding for "global warming" ahead of forestry mgmt, these kinds of things are guaranteed to happen. 

There is fire-fighting infrastructure that needs to be maintained so that you can stay ahead of fires instead of letting them burn out until they become manageable. 

The California fires spread out of control like that because of serious mismanagement over decades of left4rd misrule.

The posts you show are from individuals.  Let's see how many elected democrat officials are as crass as Trump was. 

Elected Democrat officials are vile liars. You saw the way they carried-on during "Russian collusion", the BLM riots, calls for violence against Republicans, assassination threats, the Biden mental health issue, covid, etc...

This is a time when the left's leaders should be calling for unity instead of jumping on the hatewagon, but you know that whenever they get in front of a microphone they will act like it's their sacred duty to lie and slander.

Reality and @robosmith are complete strangers:

https://www.koco.com/article/texas-officials-face-scrutiny-deadly-flooding/65304870

The National Weather Service office in New Braunfels, which delivers forecasts for Austin, San Antonio and the surrounding areas, had extra staff on duty during the storms, Runyen said.

Where the office would typically have two forecasters on duty during clear weather, they had up to five on staff.

"There were extra people in here that night, and that's typical in every weather service office — you staff up for an event and bring people in on overtime and hold people over," Runyen said.

The difference was that the LA fires were specifically far worse than necessary because of choices that the governor made not to repair water wells and reservoirs that were needed to fight it. He let them sit dry for over a year instead of repairing them and that's why the fires were that bad..

But even then there's no comparison. Blaming a politician for not having their state readys one thing and perhaps fair game. But these people are legitimately straight up saying the people who died deserved what they got. Not the politicians, not the governor, but the people who died. Texans. Texas deserves this happening to it.

I'm sure even you with your low moral standards could see the difference. Reveling in the fact that people are dead is not okay especially when it's not just one or two people here or there but where it seems like a group by large is thinking the same way. It would seem that the left is rushing to revel in the blood of children, there were freaking girl scouts at camp and stuff who died and they're thrilled about it.

[Aristides]

The US has become a very sick place where both sides celebrate tragedies when it happens to people who live somewhere they might had voted differently.

Whether it is floods in Texas or fires in California, it is the same sickness.

Yes, there is a difference between what contributed to a fire, and what contributed to the response to the fire. 

You have a really hard time with these distinctions with things...

Yes, it was a loaded question. I literally explained why. No, I specifically said the very nature of politics is divisive in that there are opposing ideas with winners and losers. This is a simple observation. That doesn't then mean I somehow have to think any and all grotesque comments, stupid comments, or otherwise false comments are somehow OK. 

This is pretty basic common-sense stuff here. So you are either so incredibly ignorant that you don't get it... or are just so incredibly dishonest that you want to play dumb. 

Either way... not very good for you.

Any conversation with you is generally a waste of time because of your anti-left bias...  Again, you and others would twist this another way of it were Cali.

Really....  There is a difference in people dying because of hurricane winds, tinder dry land and so-called forestry mismanagement in a blue state versus people dying in ANOTHER weather event in a red state?  Hard for you to understand but there is NO difference....people died tragically and it doesn't matter whether they're red, blue, yellow or green.

Nice try in backtracking though....  Will have to remember that for Trump's next stupid, false and divisive comments, which should be fairly soon if it's a weekday.

Oh look! You realized you were wrong AGAIN and can't address the point and as usual you want it to be my fault  

There's no bias in pointing out the very REAL fact that there's a huge difference between calling out a politician for his glaring failures in not having the GIANT FIRE FIGHTING RESIVOIR fixed for over a year and how that affects a fire,  and actually cheering the death of children and women caught up in a weather event. 

And if you can't tell the difference between them that says all we need to know about you.

California has treated nearly 2 million acres in recent years, scaling up investments to ten times the amount from 2019, or are you of the Trump school of forestry management and raking the forests of underbrush?  Probably the reason for the fires we're seeing in MB, SK and AB....just not enough people raking the forests.

Not worth trying explain that it's really freaking hard to put out 30' high walls of flame in hurricane force winds with a fire hydrant.  You'll only believe what the right says anyway, so no use in typing further....

I realized that hearing facts seems to frustrate the living hell out of you, but I'm afraid you're going to have to get used to it around here. And if you're going to get upset that people make comments on the discussion board then may I suggest the internet is probably not the place for you unless you're accompanied by your therapist

The one thing that is distinctive about the current era, is the common expectation that American natural disasters like this will inevitably result in ridiculous finger-pointing and divisive stupidity.  Sad, if you care about people... funny if you want them to fail.

They're not finger pointing. They're cheering the deaths of Americans many of which were children.

These are the people you support.
