Apparently Kamala was a more palatable Marxist. I lean right (imo both parties suck), but burning LA on purpose? Does anyone really buy in to that rhetoric?

B-Man Posted January 11 Posted January 11 L.A.’s Total Leadership Failure The city slashed fire and other basic services after Mayor Karen Bass awarded fat contracts to government workers. By Steven Malanga The devastating wildfires in Los Angeles have spotlighted questionable state and local government policies in California that may have contributed to the blazes and left areas like Hollywood vulnerable due to insufficient firefighting resources. Mayor Karen Bass’s budget cuts to the city’s fire department, enacted just months ago amid warnings about the city’s deteriorating finances, stand out as a striking example of misplaced priorities. The cuts stemmed from a budget crisis triggered by her administration’s decision to reward city employees with rich contracts and benefits—even as it dismissed worries that the reductions would hurt services. “Predictions that city services will be impossible to deliver,” deputy mayor Zach Seidl told the press, “are simply false.” Few public statements have aged as poorly—or as hauntingly—as this one. {snip} “The city is living beyond its means,” the editorial board of the Los Angeles Times noted at the time, adding that the problem was “self-inflicted.” For Angelenos hoping the city would invest in infrastructure—“smoothing busted sidewalks, fixing burned-out streetlights, trimming trees, or any other public improvements”—those hopes seemed unlikely to be realized. Critics also faulted the administration for how it handled union negotiations that led to the budget-busting contracts. Most of the talks were conducted in secret, with little public discussion of the costly perks included in the agreements until they were finalized. California’s latest bout of horrific fires will reopen debate about the state government’s failures to address a deadly problem. California’s decades-long resistance to boosting its water-storage capacity—what Victor Davis Hanson has described as “the scorching of California”—will face new scrutiny. The state’s land-management practices, which incoming President Trump has already criticized, will provoke more controversy. Los Angeles’s water-management system, lambasted by former mayoral candidate Caruso—formerly a commissioner of the city’s Department of Water and Power—for running dry in some neighborhoods during the current fires, will require new investment. Questions will linger, too, over how much difference the $17.6 million cut by Mayor Bass from the city’s fire department might have made. What is beyond dispute is that Los Angeles and the surrounding area have a long history of wildfires, including in recent years. That threat didn’t seem to be much of a priority in Karen Bass’s budget. https://www.city-journal.org/article/la-mayor-karen-bass-budget-wildfires
B-Man Posted January 13 Posted January 13 Watch any video of LA Mayor Karen Bass. She has a room temperature IQ and represents the steroid age of DEI and identity politics: - Started as a Community Organizer for the Venceremos Brigade, a pro-Cuban group, in the 1970s, and then visited Cuba eight times - Never held a job in the private sector - Founded Community Coalition in the 1980s and then parlayed that into a California State Assembly seat - Was gifted a Congressional seat in 2010 by the identity- politics-box-checking DNC to replace the retiring Diane Watson - Added fake credentials with a Masters degree in Social Work from USC in 2015 as a 62-year-old Congresswoman - In 2016, she called the death of Fidel Castro a "great loss to the people of Cuba" - After Biden announced that he would pick a black woman as his VP in 2020, she made the short-list - In 2022, she was "democratically elected" (installed by Barack Obama) as Mayor of LA 1
