The Tennessee Federation of Republican Women jumping right on that Hitler bandwagon:

Wake me up when it actually happens.

That's a list longer than Trump's rap sheet.
Still waiting for the mono amp schematic that shows multiple outputs, lol.
Or for some old skool kool, some proof that Biden broke the law when he sold oil from the SPR.

What's the contradiction?

You said that you post the stuff you do just to "**** with you (me)". Then you say that you believe it all.
Well, which one is it?
If the sole purpose of it is just to **** with me, then there is no belief behind it.

Another case of you not choosing the words that convey what you want to say? Directly or indirectly?

You have brought up firebreaks multiple times in explaining how Newsom is at fault for the extent of the fires. Then YOU called them a "strawman", then YOU brought them up again.

Firebreaks are irrelevant to the discussion of THESE fires. And you said they are a strawman. I'm not telling you what you are allowed to say, but why bring up an irrelevant point over and over? It only serves to weaken your argument.

OK. So you want the discussion to be more about how the Cali gov't has failed, as opposed to how it failed in the context of these fires.
Would you say that failing to prevent over 3,000,000 acres from burning, over 6,000 structures from being destroyed, and ~50 people being killed by wildfires is a bad thing?

That's scary. Tinderbox like our boundary water area a few years after a major blowdown.
How much of Colorado's forests are federally managed?

What is with you? Please show me where I've brought up the fire breaks multiple times in explaining how Newsom is at fault for the extent of fires.

Fire breaks may or may not be irrelevant to the discussion of THESE fires, but they are certainly are relevant to the massive mismanagement and neglect going on in California. The fact that you think it's okay not to have fire breaks because these fires may or not have gotten out of hand regardless is absolutely astonishing. What if the fire broke out and there were no Santa Ana winds to drive it? What if the fire broke out an it rained the next day to bring it under control? That means not doing your fvckin' job is acceptable? Anything to defend Team Blue, eh?

Colorado's Federal Forests are under a "shared stewardship" program where both the state and fed manage the forests or more accurately mismanage them. I won't blame Biden for the state of Colorado's forests because I honestly believe he doesn't have a clue.

Explain how that happens when you refuse to use the same terminology as everyone else.

It wasn't an emergency situation when he did it. Move on already.

Still refusing to comprehend huh? Still running with how your smooth brain takes in information. I explained when, why and how I mess with you. I am sorry you still don't get it.

Another case of you not choosing the words that convey what you want to say? Directly or indirectly?

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

It's embarrassing that Trump has to go there and put a boot up their *****. TBH, I'd be weary of putting money in the hands of the State of Cali; it's clear they mismanage funds. It'll be a PITA, but somehow the Fed needs to put the money directly in the people's hands - Federal Grants or favorable loans, etc.

"We like water to put out fires. It's really quite efficient." - Trump

It's true. Waiting on permits is Democrats wanting more fires and more damage so they can demand more money.

OK, so you want to talk about fire control and prevention in general, and how the Democrats do it wrong.
Got it.

I'm trying to find the post where I said it is OK to not have fire breaks. Can you reference the post number? No, you can't. Because I never said it. What I said was that you blaming the fire breaks (or lack thereof) for the intensity of these fires is inaccurate. Pretty much every expert has said that the winds were the main issue with being able to control the fires.
But I'm sure all those experts were just shills for Newsom, trying to make Trump and Vance look bad by contradicting their claims.

"Anything to defend Team Blue", while you have remained conspicuously silent on the ~3,000,000 burned acres, over 6,000 destroyed structures, and ~50 people being killed by wildfires under the previous Republican administration.
If Republicans are so much better, why did it happen then?

Explain how that happens when you refuse to use the same terminology as everyone else.

Find me a single person that uses the word "in" to mean "passing through but not attached to" ANYTHING.
Find me a single person that uses the word "multiple" in reference to something that is "mono".
Find me a single person that uses the phrase "directly affects" to mean "may or may not have some effect over time".

It wasn't an emergency situation when he did it. Move on already.

It doesn't have to be. But it was.
"Move on already". So when you are wrong, we should just "move on" and accept your belief?
No. You will remain wrong.

Still refusing to comprehend huh? Still running with how your smooth brain takes in information. I explained when, why and how I mess with you. I am sorry you still don't get it.

sole - the only one of that type
As in "sole reason" being the ONLY reason.
If you have difficulty choosing the words that accurately convey your ideas, maybe a chat forum isn't the ideal place for you to share your ideas.

The right temperature room and some white noise are good.

Me.

Me and several others.

Actually let's clarify because you are doing your word game again to snake out of the actual topic. It's multiple OUTPUTS on a mono amp.

Find me a single person that uses the phrase "directly affects" to mean "may or may not have some effect over time".

You tell me, I never claimed this. Perhaps you responded to how your brain interprets things again.

It doesn't have to be. But it was.

No, it wasn't.

"Move on already". So when you are wrong, we should just "move on" and accept your belief?
No. You will remain wrong.

I am right... you just can't handle it.

Like I said, you talk shit, I give it right back and I WILL waste your time. You have no choice in the matter. Your ego won't let you just STFU. Shall we keep going? I am ******* with you right now. Have been for 3 post.

The right temperature room and some white noise are good.

Great so we all agree that Newsom & Co should have had fire breaks and thus are negligent, incompetent, etc. I don't know when Cali stopped making fire breaks, but whoever was in office is welcome to take credit for that regardless of their political affiliation. California certainly didn't turn to shyt overnight. Hell LA was a shythole when I was there in the early 90s. I have no idea why you would think I'm some sort of party loyalist. So you think Brown did a good job with fire management/prevention or are you condemning Newsom now???

Can anybody answer why the pic of Gov. Brown is this Elementary School painting? WTF? Was there some sort of k-5 contest and this was the winning painting?

Governors of California - Edmund G. "Jerry" Brown

Found the answer. It was painted by an actual artist. Only in California.

More audits with bite are needed. I appreciate the DOGE.transparency also this will get ahead of the MSM spin.
